Abortion bans kill another woman. On the day of her baby shower, Nevaeh Crain went to the ER bleeding & feverish. She was diagnosed with sepsis, a deadly infection - but her fetus still had a heart beat. She was sent home. After her 3rd ER visit, she died. propublica.org/article/nevaeh…

While it’s not very Minnesotan to brag, I’ve got to brag on our state a little here: We were just ranked #1 in the country for health care.

Minnesota ranked best in nation for health care, study finds cbsnews.com/minnesota/news…

In Minnesota, we take care of our neighbors. It’s just what we do. As our neighbors in Iowa are stripped of their fundamental rights, my message is clear: Your reproductive freedom will remain protected in Minnesota.


“Does your panel include a woman?” checkbox on panel submissions for the @AAOHNS Annual Meeting increased inclusion of female presenters from 22% to 33% & increased female moderators to 38%. Active steps to reduce #manels have an impact! …-hnsfjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… @DrSujanaENT

I prosecuted sex predators. Trump is one. I shut down for-profit scam colleges. He ran one. I held big banks accountable. He's owned by them. I'm not just prepared to take on Trump, I'm prepared to beat him.


Professor Lund is now Dame Lund, only the third female surgeon ever to be bestowed with this honor by the United Kingdom, for her achievements as a surgeon, researcher and educator. Wonderful to see her recognized for all her amazing work! @DevyaniLalMD @Women_Rhinology

Wonderful day accompanying Professor Dame Valerie Lund at her investiture at Windsor Palace. She has been an inspiration to many in surgery and I am so grateful to have her as a mentor and a friend. @UKWENTs @ENT_UK
