A new KFF study reports: 24 million Americans will see their health care premiums under the Affordable Care Act DOUBLE.

Further, 15 million people will be thrown off their health care entirely.
 
Unacceptable. We can’t subject millions of Americans to this unnecessary suffering.

I'm asking YOU:

What will a doubling of health care premiums mean for your family?

What it will mean if you're one of the 15 million being thrown off their health care?

Once upon a Fat Bear Week 🐻💤…

The salmon were plenty, the bellies were round, and the bears tucked themselves in for a long winter’s nap.

May your night be just as cozy, your dreams just as sweet, and your tomorrow just as full. ✨

In day 2 of being on this site, I have decided it is cool. Happy weekend, everyone! Be the positive change you wish to see in the world.

Dreamers are doctors, teachers, firefighters and so much more. They’ve built their lives here with the protections of DACA, but Trump doesn’t care.

His rogue DHS is detaining and terrorizing Dreamers — a backdoor attempt to quietly kill DACA.

We will not stand for it.

There's so much Supreme Court news to keep up with right now. It feels like the more I learn, the less I really understand!

I enjoyed this post. It was not overly mean to anyone and reinforced that we should set evidence-based policies to help the people of our nation. Thank you.

I feel that, instead of tweeting this, you could have lived Michelle Obama's statement: "when they go low, we go high." It's important to have an informed constituency, but true leadership does not add fuel to the fire. I would love to see kinder political comms.

It's always interesting to see how staffers characterize their own bosses! It can often be quite telling.

It's really incredible to me that it took so long to get these repealed and it sounds like you and Sen. Young are amassing bipartisan support for this to pass in the Senate. Here's hoping we can avoid more wars in the future!

Vaccines work. Period.

Gotta love beavs 🦫

Super cool!

Science History Institute library acquires original Rosalind Franklin materials and other artifacts The library’s History of Molecular Biology Collection includes written materials, X-ray prints, and photos related to the discovery of DNA

I got to see a cool #science thing and now I get to tell you about it*:
Not obvious from the article is that I got to HOLD one of Franklin's original prints of the X-ray diffraction pattern of DNA. My job rocks at times. #chemistry @cenmag.bsky.social #chemsky

Happy weekend, Olive! I hope you get "olive" the pets this weekend!

This is a beautiful cat who deserves allll the snuggles! #CatsOfBluesky

It sure is weird to see this as a "rogue" comment when bipartisan lawmakers supported taxpayer-funded research for decades. We need to throw our full support behind lawmakers who actually believe such "rogue" things.

Yes, I did fix the typo in this screenshot after posting it, in case you were wondering

What we need now is what we never had in the pandemic: a unified voice that can address these arguments in an evidence-based way, but in a way that acknowledges vaccine skepticism and hesitancy and seeks to create an inclusive dialogue with everyone despite rising vaccine reluctance. #SciComm
