Sixty years ago, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed a law creating Medicare and Medicaid. These programs continue to be essential for thousands of my constituents.
Health care is at risk for over a million New Yorkers. We can't stop fighting to protect the lifesaving care so many Americans rely on.

Vinay Prasad, Trump’s own top vaccine and gene therapy regulator at the FDA, is out just weeks after Loomer launched a campaign labeling him a “progressive leftist saboteur.” No official reason given. Just a quiet Tuesday ousting, wrapped in a generic “spending more time with family” line from HHS.

60 years ago, America's seniors got a much needed lifeline with Medicare.
Fast forward to today, and Republicans are actively trying to rob seniors of their Medicare in order to give tax cuts to billionaires.
It's a callous slap in the face to seniors everywhere.

Washington voters are gloomy.
Most respondents to a recent Cascade PBS/Elway poll said they were worried about the future, didn’t feel represented by their state government, and had low opinions of both Gov. Bob Ferguson and the Democratic-led Legislature. A thread 🧵
