I rarely post personal things. But I need to talk about my 4-year-old niece, Hope.

She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive.

But the FDA recently denied its approval.

Now, her health hangs in the balance.

Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧵

This is what I’ve been saying for a week or two now; this issue is not about immigration. The MAGA wing of the party is trying to make it that, but the majority of the country understands that this is actually about bigger things; the right to a fair day in court and the prospect of tyranny.
Joe Rogan explains to his audience why due process is important and quotes Ben Franklin — "it is better 100 guilty persons should escape than that one innocent person should suffer.”

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

Medicaid is a lifeline for people with disabilities and seniors, yet Congress is getting ready to cut billions of dollars in Medicaid funding.

If these cuts are approved, millions of people will lose access to crucial care.
