Dr. Coni: One patient had been receiving treatment with eye drops, but then I didn’t see her for months.. I wondered what had happened to her.

When she finally returned, she told me she had lost her Medicaid coverage and couldn’t afford her drops. As a result, she had gone blind in one eye.

Patrick: We’re represented by Rep. Miller-Meeks. She supported this bill when it went through the House and has indicated that she’s going to continue to support it when it returns from the Senate.

I hope she doesn’t.

This is going to have real-world effects on my family—and on a lot of Iowans.

Partyka: My son, like so many people on Medicaid, works over 40 hours a week. People on Medicaid are not the “parasite class,” as this horrible, out-of-touch administration has described them. They are your friends and your neighbors—and in this case, he is my son.

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.

This Friday, where will you be?

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.

It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.

They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.

I’m happy to invest and/or help
