We applaud Brazilian President @LulaOficial for signing a decree that recommends the exclusion of ultra-processed products from the tax-exempt list of foods for the country’s upcoming tax reform. This was a critical win in the fight to discourage consuming unhealthy food.

Matt Myers has been an incredible partner for @BloombergDotOrg. Together, we’ve worked to reduce tobacco-related deaths and disease globally and domestically. His strong and steadfast leadership has helped save millions of lives, and we’re looking forward to building on our progress with Yolonda Richardson and her team.

The history books will rightly credit Matt Myers as being one of the greatest impediments to Big Tobacco’s efforts to addict kids. But I will always credit Matt w/ preventing suffering & saving countless lives.
I’m sad to see him leave, but the work he championed will continue.

Thank you for highlighting the success of the #MATAct, @POTUS!
The MAT Act is an example of what Congress, the @WhiteHouse and @ONDCP, and advocates can do when we all work toward a common goal – to prevent overdose deaths.

The #MATAct has been endorsed by more than 260 lawmakers, 500 organizations, and now the @NYTimes.
The U.S. can't wait for #treatment access any longer. Congress must pass the MAT Act and #XtheXWaiver to save lives and prevent future overdose deaths.

We're in a national baby formula crisis because a single plant went down in a highly concentrated industry with no excess capacity. You have to drive your head pretty far into the sand not to notice that market concentration is driving up prices & undermining supply chains.

I am still looking into FDA's handling of the infant formula recall, sparked by four infant hospitalizations (incl. 2 deaths).
