Thank you @ashkalra.bsky.social and Erika for meeting with our group of passionate Alzheimer's advocates to talk about ways to improve #Care4Alz in CA!

Thank you for your continued support in the fight to #ENDALZ, Asm Kalra. You are a true champion to us all. Thanks for always doing more to help!

Joy, I hope that your next adventure is your best one yet! I hope that we all will still get to benefit from your voice.

Hey @schiff.senate.gov take a page from Brian Schatz and stop voting for anything in the Senate. I didn't vote for you for Senate to take a coup lying down. You need to use whatever leverage you have to fight all of the illegal activity coming out of the Trump admin. Stop voting for Cabinet members!

The media is failing abjectly in how it is framing what this administration is doing.

NEW: My staff has confirmed reports that Medicaid portals are down in all 50 states following last night's federal funding freeze. This is a blatant attempt to rip away health care from millions of Americans overnight and will get people killed.

I was coming here to say that! I head out at second quarter.

YouTube video by Kristie Ramirez Asking Ro Khanna about "paused" NIH grants & future advocacy

The grant and supply cancellations/pauses at NIH are so disheartening. @rokhanna.bsky.social @khanna.house.gov we need your support to restart the flow of funding back into NIH. We've only just scratched the surface with Alzheimer's treatments. America need NIH to be a leader.

YouTube video by Kristie Ramirez Asking Ro Khanna to support Credit for Caring Act

Thank you @khanna.house.gov @rokhanna.bsky.social for offering your support for the Credit for Caring Act. Caregivers like me spend thousands of dollars and hours of time caring for our loved ones with Alzheimer's, dementia, or other long-term care needs. #ENDALZ

New Factsheets on What's at Risk for Medi-Cal & Covered California Under current Congressional Republican proposals, major cuts could be looming for Medicaid (Medi-Cal in California) and ACA exchanges like Covered California. New factsheets detail statewide impacts o...

If Medicaid cuts are included in #reconciliation, it will leave a massive hole in #CAbudget and lead to "devastating cuts not only for health care but other parts of the state budget as well." Adult day & home care are OPTIONAL benefits under Medicaid so at greatest risk. #CAleg #CAbudget #aging

What would make actually good change is if the fake agency actually took the time to learn about what each of these real agencies do and work with leadership to make cuts that matter. But, we all know that that's not their actual mission, so we should stop trying to pretend that it is.

Except, Mark, this is what bad managers do when they come in to a new team or bad CEOs do when they acquire a company. Good managers and CEOs take time to understand how the team or company works first and then start putting their stamp on things to make things more efficient, etc.

The FDA has scrubbed from its website guidance on conducting medical trials with representative numbers of men/women and racial/ethnic minorities. these aren't symbolic issues. Drugs affect men/men, people with different genetic backgrounds differently. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/medic...

The assault on NIH is a test for how the national media covers the Trump admin: Trump is shutting down medical research!

That is easy to communicate. Will they treat it as a 5 alarm fire in a way that forces the government to respond, or will they downplay & caveat it?

I really liked that show! Thanks for the heads up.

Attn: @rokhanna.bsky.social @padilla.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov - As a constituent who is a caretaker to a mother with dementia, these NIH studies are hugely important to me and everyone hoping for a cure or better treatments with Alzheimer's/dementia. Please raise your voices to get these back!

I really wish reporters would not let them get away with this "mandate" message. It's getting into people's heads. Every single time they say it, ask them why they think the slimmest win in decades (ever?) is a mandate and if they will step aside the next time a Democrat wins by a larger margin?

*immediately goes to look* HAHAHA! I was on Ravelry yesterday and just ignored HRN. That is... something...!

Wow. Literally this message had absolutely no impact whatsoever because I've gotten five more followers that are probably bots.

So happy you posted your account on Threads! I'm trying to make the move here.

So, if you want me to follow your finance scheme or your porn account, just move on because you're just getting blocked.

I can't believe this has to be my first post on BlueSky. I keep getting so many followers. Why on Earth are you following me? I haven't posted anything until now. I'm just sitting here reading my favorite accounts. If your sole goal is to get me to follow you back, you followed the wrong person.
