Dr Abdul El-Sayed: "It's not radical to believe that people should be able to afford their groceries, have healthcare, or drink clean water." In a political landscape dominated by fear, focusing on core human needs isn't extreme—it's basic common sense for everyday Americans.

If a mother has to pay a copay to get a doctor’s note to stay home from work to care for her sick kid, a senator should certainly be required to do the same for his employer when he’s out sick. Do our political institutions not have HR departments?

I’m looking forward to an election in my lifetime where someone posts “you know. This one isn’t too important. Vote. Don’t vote. Whatever.” (Because my Nana said I couldn’t complain if I didn’t vote, I will be voting. But in a chill way.)

My office: One of our patients was denied. Can you give us the prior auth guidelines for GLP-1’s? Insurance company: We can mail them to you. MO: Do you have a website? Or you could email or fax? IC: No. The policy is we only mail them. MO: 😳

Did you get home from work, strip off your clothes and run into the shower, terrified you might accidentally infect your family? Did you watch your mother dwindle on Zoom for a year because you might kill her with an in person visit? If not then you can STFU. 1/2

People are saying the White House Correspondents dinner Friday was an embarrassment for Trump. It wasn't. It was an embarrassment for the WHCA and for anyone who was there and didn't walk out when Trump began to speak.

Quick history note: 15 years ago, I flew to Iowa to legally marry my amazing fiancée. We then drove to Chicago, where we were domestic partners, to honeymoon. Then we flew home to Arizona, where two different sets of laws said we were just two guys forbidden to marry. 1/x
