📣 I've gained a *ton* of new followers thanks to the kind words of @angrystaffer.bsky.social. As noted earlier, about 90% of my posts are either healthcare policy/data wonkery or Dem fundraising links.

For the latter, I've raised over $20 MILLION since 2018 *directly* for Democratic candidates. 1/

Thanks so much!! Deeply flattered!
