People Are Absolutely Fired Up Over This Pediatrician Seeking To Unseat Lindsey Graham In 2026
You've almost certainly heard the name (and of the various misdeeds) of Lindsey Graham if you've been politically conscious at any point since 2003. That's the year he was sworn into the US Senate, representing his home state of South Carolina. He's held the seat ever since. Senator Graham gained more national recognition during President Donald Trump's first campaign, widely and publicly criticizing him before pulling a complete 180 and defending many of his political moves over the last decade. Graham is currently serving his fourth term, but he's up for reelection next year. That's where Dr. Annie Andrews, a South Carolina doctor, comes in. She's running as a Democrat for Lindsey Graham's seat. She previously sought to defeat incumbent Republican Nancy Mace in the 2022 race for South Carolina's District 1 House seat, but was unsuccessful. I could list out her policies, but she does it best in a campaign announcement that's gone viral across platforms. She starts the video by saying she's been a pediatrician in South Carolina for nearly two decades, trusted by parents "to treat their kids for just about anything you can imagine." She then pulls out a series of X-rays of children with different medical conditions, each to highlight a specific point about her views. First is a child with measles pneumonia, "a condition easily prevented by vaccines," she says. "This is a kid with cancer. One of the diseases the NIH doesn't have the funding to study anymore," Dr. Andrews continues, showing more X-rays. "And this is a kid who's been shot. Which, despite being the number one cause of death for children in America, is no longer classified as a public health crisis." Dr. Annie Andrews for Senate / COURIER / TikTok / Via She then says, with an X-ray of a constipated patient, "And this kid, there's really no other way to say this... is quite literally full of shit." Andrews then points to a video of Senator Graham. "And this is an adult who is also completely and unequivocally full of shit." Dr. Annie Andrews for Senate / COURIER / TikTok / Via Related: This Republican Lawmaker's Embarrassing Lack Of Knowledge Of The Term "Intersex" Went Viral After He Proposed An Amendment To Cut LGBTQ+ Funding She then rolls the tape — a supercut of Graham walking back his statements about Donald Trump. "It's embarrassing, and South Carolina deserves better," Dr. Andrews says. She also slams the current administration, from Elon Musk's cutting Social Security funding to "vaccine-denying brain worm guy" Robert F. Kennedy Jr. gutting healthcare programs. She also mentions Secretary of Education Linda McMahon's mass layoffs and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's war-plans-on-Signal blunder. "And Lindsey Graham voted to confirm every single one of these people," Andrews says, then bangs her head on her dining table next to a wine glass. I feel you, girl. "All while backing Trump's plan to cut taxes for millionaires and billionaires while raising yours. No wonder he won't show his face here in South Carolina," she goes on, cutting to a clip of Graham. "I don't need a town hall to know what to do," he says in it. "Lindsey Graham has been a senator for half of my lifetime — and as it turns out, most senators don't get better with age," Dr. Andrews says. "Will winning this race be easy? No. But you can't win if you don't run. And the one thing we can all agree on is [that] Lindsey Graham doesn't deserve a free pass back to D.C." Dr. Annie Andrews for Senate / COURIER / TikTok / Via Related: "I Am So Torn With What You Are Doing" — 11 Posts From MAGA Business Owners Who Are So Close To Getting It "Now, Lindsey is gonna tell you I'm radical, that I'm crazy. Because that's what weak men do when they feel threatened by strong women," she continues before offering a look into her very normal life as a busy mom and peek-a-boo-playing pediatrician. "SO radical," she jokes. "I also just happen to be someone who isn't afraid of a fight. And like so many of you, I am worried about what the future holds for our kids and our state," she says, then goes on to name issues like the climate crisis, failing hospitals and schools, and prices driven up by tariffs. "Worrying won't do anything, but stepping up to join me in this fight just might," Dr. Andrews says. "A fight where we put our common sense over culture wars and hope over hate." "Right now, Lindsey Graham is counting on all of us to stay quiet. And that means one thing — it's time to get loud. I'm Dr. Annie Andrews, and I hope you'll join me," she concludes. Courier posted the video on TikTok, where people were absolutely fired up. "YES. DOCTORS IN POLITICS," the top comment reads. Some folks said that Dr. Andrews is bringing the energy that Democrats have been lacking... ...and the youth. "This is how we flip Congress. An impressive and competent candidate who understands the messaging we need to be pushing. Well done," this person wrote. A lot of people were just blown away by her poise and candor. A TON of South Carolina folks were super amped up. "One of the best ads I've seen," someone wrote. You can watch Dr. Andrews's full ad here.

MAHA, social media further complicating parenthood
(NewsNation) — New parents have always sought advice about whether to sleep train or use formula, but the 'Make America Healthy Again' movement has raised even more questions. Initiatives backed by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have filled social media feeds with polarizing topics, including questions about raw milk, unmedicated childbirth, ultraprocessed foods and vaccinations. A national poll by C.S. Mott Children's Hospital found four out of five parents with young children — from newborn to 4 years old — use social media to discuss their concerns about a range of parenting topics. 'Agroterrorism' fungus could harm US crops, livestock: Scientist Holistic pediatrician Dr. Ana Maria Temple told NewsNation that parents can honor their own values and make sound choices — if they're able to filter out the filler they find online. Rather than following thousands of Facebook, Instagram and TikTok pages and driving 'yourself insane,' Temple recommends going 'back to finding a provider with clinical expertise that can sit and work with you.' But the divisiveness on these topics goes beyond social media — it's happening on the soccer field over post-game snacks, at kids' parties over the birthday treats served and even at schools over the cleaning products used in the classroom. Doctor: Texas junk food bill a step in the right direction Temple said to keep an open mind and avoid self-criticism when absorbing all of these different suggestions and views, both online and in person. One of the MAHA movement's most prominent thought leaders, Moms Across America founder Zen Honeycutt, suggested looking for tried-and-true options from other parents. 'Our moms have tried dozens of different ways to recover our children from their health issues, and they're sharing the ones that work the best,' Honeycutt said. 'And doesn't mean that it'll work for your child, but it's something that our mothers have tried.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

TikTok Banned the "SkinnyTok" Hashtag. It's Only a Matter of Time Until a New Insidious Diet Trend Replaces It
iantfoto In this op-ed, Features Director Brittney McNamara considers TikTok's SkinnyTok hashtag ban and the seemingly unbeatable monster of diet culture. If you've been on social media lately, you undoubtedly know about #SkinnyTok. Along with the rise in popularity of weight loss drugs like Zepbound and Wegovy over the last few years, thinness as an ideal has also returned to our cultural lexicon, spawning a whole hashtag full of creators discussing how they get and stay thin, swapping diet and workout tips that encourage sometimes extreme measures to be skinny. But on June 3, TikTok banned #SkinnyTok as a search term after concern from European legislators about how the app can negatively impact young people's body image, according to the New York Times. The hashtag had 'become linked to unhealthy weight loss content,' TikTok said in its reasoning for the ban, something the European Commission was investigating because of the potential 'public health risk' associated with promoting 'extreme thinness' to young people online, Politico reports. Now, when users enter that search term, they'll be directed to resources like the National Alliance for Eating Disorders. We know that social media can negatively affect our mental health, and can contribute to body image issues like body dysmorphia and even eating disorders, so this move is an all-around win. There is no benefit — even if society would like to tell you there is — to promoting extreme thinness or unhealthy diets, things that #SkinnyTok was often associated with. But even though the ban is a net positive in this sense, it's simply a bandaid on a much larger issue. Until we reckon with our cultural obsession with thinness and our wholesale buy-in to diet culture, #SkinnyTok will simply shift and transform, taking on a new slender shape online. According to Today, #SkinnyTok began appearing on TikTok around the start of this year, gaining steam in March and April. Videos under the hashtag encouraged viewers to eat less, making hunger seem like a virtue and repackaging harmful diet advice as 'tough love." If you weren't dieting and participating in behaviors to make yourself smaller, many #SkinnyTok posts were there to shame you into submission. It's not clear exactly who started the hashtag, but it is apparent how it gained popularity. Social media and other online forums have long been hotbeds for extreme diet talk and for promoting unhealthy body ideals. In the heyday of Tumblr, 'pro ana' (pro anorexia) and 'thinspo' content abounded. When those topics were banned, users found ways to evade that, substituting letters or words to signal their content to other users without triggering filters that would censor their posts. Meta whistle-blower Frances Haugen revealed internal research that found that 'when [32% of teen girls] felt bad about their bodies, Instagram made them feel worse.' As a result of that information, social media executives testified before Congress in 2021, in part about the ways their platforms impact young people's body image. Just before #SkinnyTok officially earned its title, content creator Liv Schmidt was ousted from TikTok in October 2024 because of her posts instructing viewers on how to be skinny. Her posts violated TikTok's Community Guidelines, which prohibit 'promoting disordered eating and dangerous weight loss behaviors.' But before her ban, Schmidt had more than 670,000 followers on TikTok, according to the New York Times. She claimed her instructions on how to eat less with the explicit goal of being thin were simply the pursuit of a certain aesthetic, not a roadmap to potentially disordered eating. Even more recently, Schmidt's group chat called the Skinni Societe was demonetized by Meta after The Cut published an inside look at Schmidt's advice to followers, including lines like "eat like your next weigh-in is tomorrow.' The resurgence of explicit diet talk and 'thinspo' on social media is evidence of a trend we've seen growing for a while now. The advent of GLP-1 drugs has made weight loss attainable for many, and has made getting even thinner an option for many already-thin people. And, with another Trump administration in office, a focus on thinness in society is no surprise. Research has shown a link between conservative ideology and anti-fatness, something we've seen mirrored in Trump's own language. So it's not necessarily a shock that people with fatphobic ideas would feel emboldened in this time, especially. TikTok's #SkinnyTok ban is certainly the right move, and it's encouraging to know that people searching for it on that platform will instead be served resources to cope with disordered eating. But as we can see from the long history of disordered eating and 'skinny' content online, this move is likely to remove one threat, only for another to pop up in its wake. Diet culture is much like the mythological hydra; when you cut one head off of this beast, two more grow in its place. The threats get more numerous, more insidious, the more we strike at it. To truly beat #SkinnyTok and trends like it, we'd need a cultural reckoning — one where we collectively decide that thinness isn't a value, but simply one of many states of being. We'd need to grapple with the racism and anti-Blackness baked into anti-fatness, and how promoting thinness has ties to white supremacy. We'd need to address anti-fat bias in medicine, and rethink the common tropes about fatness and health. We'd need to radically change our thinking, our social structures, our collective stereotypes. We'd need to then cauterize the wounds diet culture has left, making sure no new ugly heads could rear when we turn our backs. Judging by the current political and social climate, that seems unlikely. It's certainly possible, and maybe one day we'll get there. In the meantime, #SkinnyTok may be dead, but it's only a matter of time before another hashtag or trend telling young people to aspire to thinness crops up, another head of this seemingly unkillable hydra ready to bite us in our ever-smaller butts.
