My state, Michigan, but she's also literally my own US Representative. Tried to tell her that health care is a priority, on Medicare's 61st birthday on July 30. At least she was gracious in her concession, so no hard feelings. Bring on November! #courage26 #medicareforall #nationalnursesunited

A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

Medicare for All makes sense.

Abdul El-Sayed has achieved a dominant win in Michigan’s Democratic primary for U.S. Senate on Tuesday, winning by a narrow margin over Rep. Haley Stevens in a ground-shaking triumph over the $60 million spent by AIPAC and corporations to oppose him.

RFK Jr., Oz blame ACA enrollment drop on fraud, but experts cite rising costs

Rising premiums forced many people in Affordable Care Act plans to give up their coverage. But the Trump administration claims a huge drop in enrollment is almost entirely due to its fraud crackdown.

We need SENSIBLE health care reform that puts people first, then strives to be efficient. How is this so difficult?? #MedicalRoadkill

Once you understand that this is a model of science written by non-scientists who hate universities but love venture capital and redirecting money to political allies, everything makes a lot more sense. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/22/u...

Put the CARE back into health care. Codify the AMA patients rights list into any new health care legislation. #Courage26 #MedicalRoadkill code-medical-ethics.ama-assn.org/ethics-opini...

Wages are a big thing but as you get older you realize that your health doesn't let you do a lot of jobs. I'm a reasonable person but there's too much "all or nothing" with jobs. (Can't work like a dog? Then no job for you. - Every job that is not an office/desk job.)

This is a highly under-appreciated and underdiscussed aspect of why the 🇺🇸 oligarchy hates the idea of universal healthcare. They want us trapped in our jobs. #MedicareForAll

Universal health care, please.

DEAR MAGA: If Kyle Rittenhouse was fine, but Alex Pretti deserved to die - it was never about the 2nd Amendment. If January 6th was fine, but Renee Good deserved to die - it was never about the right to protest. If a little boy in a bunny hat being detained is fine - it was never about getting,,,

Hadn't thought about it like this before but in some cases they're absolutely correct.

This dog spotted herself in a TV ad and struck a pose in front of the screen, and it raises a real question about canine self-awareness that scientists are still debating.

"Scientists discover 1st known likely transmissible cancer in wild catfish." The article is pretty detailed, worth the read. They're not sure why it's happening. These fish are from a lake that's between Vermont/Quebec. My Q: Where does the water go to and come from? www.yahoo.com/news/science...

A study suggests cancer cells may be transferring from one catfish to the next.

Fighting #cancer is the hardest thing I've ever done. It's been an 18 year battle - now stage 4. I need to raise $ for my full body PET scan & the $4,900 Signatera tests (4x a year) insurance doesn't cover. 🔗 www.gofundme.com/f/help-a-mom... Please SHARE and help if you're able. I'm grateful. ❤️

Can we talk about patients rights? The best list I've found is from the American Medical Association. Is there a better list? Is anyone else working on this? I'd like to see this added to any HC reform laws. Seriously are there any other groups working on this? Let's collab. #patientsrights #M4A

This situation exemplifies the notion that "you have not yet witnessed the full extent of what is to come."

Taking a chance. Any journalists interested in a sob story about medicare for all and worker's comp? If so I can put you in touch with a Michigan resident with a whopper of a story. They have supporting evidence and witnesses. I don't have the reach to help them. DM me. #medicareforall #journalist

"All evil needs to triumph is for good people to do nothing." History will ask why we didn't stop ICE a year ago. Some are trying but not enough Americans are outraged and taking to the streets (so to speak). We have our echo chambers online but go out into the world and few care. MAKE SOME NOISE!

SHOCK NYT REPORT: DHS now admits the man ICE killed in Houston wasn't even their target. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a 35-year U.S. resident, was just driving to work when agents — with no body cameras — shot him dead searching for two other men who weren't even in the van. Gift link in reply.
