Telehealth is a game changer for people with disabilities.
It can be incredibly difficult to attend in person appointments when you have an energy limiting chronic illness.

I looked to see whether local news @kvue.bsky.social or @kxan.com had this story on their news app. Nope. Deeply disappointed.
NEW:
“I’ve had enough…I’m refusing to back down.”
Texas state Rep. Nicole Collier speaks to MSNBC from the Texas State Capitol. She is stuck there after the Texas GOP required police surveillance as condition for release. She is refusing to sign a waiver for the law enforcement escort.

Newsom: He is a failed president. Who else sends ICE at the same time while having a conversation like this? Someone who is weak, broken. His weakness is masquerading as a strength. The most unpopular president in modern history.
