My views on today’s BS “breakthrough” on #Autism

Stop blaming moms, stop cutting REAL research and the programs that support autistic people.

It’s going to be a minute before I can capture the emotions and impact of the last 4 days on the National Mall for the #ProtectMedicaidVigil & #FamiliesFirst rally.

This clip from the Baltimore Urban Inspiration Choir, that I was lucky to see, sums it up—We can change the world 🩵

Sun rising over hour 57 of our SIXTY hour Protect Medicaid Vigil. It’s been an honor & privilege to pull this event together with our incredible team & partners. I am exhausted, emboldened and so damn proud of the power we are showing as we hold those who cut Medicaid accountable.

We know that #MedicaidCutsKill

That’s why we are out here for the 60 Hour Medicaid vigil—share your story with me between now and Saturday morning and I will read it during my time slot 4-6 AM Friday or 5-6 AM Saturday!

Share your Medicaid story with me!

The stage is being set! We are going to be here for 60 hours honoring the 60 years of Medicaid and demanding that Congress walk back the cuts made to the program.

Join us online or at the National Mall as we come together to demand our leaders—

On this week’s #MedicaidMinute my brother Chris says it best. “I am Medicaid, don’t extinguish me.”

As we kick off our 60-hour vigil. Chris’s words are a reminder of why we’re fighting for the legacy–and the future–of Medicaid.

This #MedicaidMinute takeover by @mariatown.bsky.social of @aapd-disability.bsky.social is more important now than ever after the vote to gut Medicaid by $930 billion.

This #DisabilityPrideMonth let’s all commit to building the care economy all disabled people deserve.

To every single member of Congress who voted Yes on stripping care from communities across the country, the Medicaid and Medicare resistance AKA the caring majority are coming.

🎵 you have it coming, you have it coming—you only have yourself to blame 🎵

CALL YOUR SENATORS—TELL THEM TO VOTE NO AND PROTECT MEDICAID!

For every disabled person, caregiver, care worker & Senior in your life, then call again. Don’t forget—even if the Senate votes Yes, this will have to go back to the House. We must stop this, and we can!

#VoteNo

While the Senate parliamentarian struck the Republican attack on gender-affirming care—we need to keep raising our voices to make sure it stays that way! This week’s #MedicaidMinute reminds us that we must protect LGBTQ+ people and #ProtectMedicaid—during #PrideMonth and always

#VoteNo

For my brother Chris, the number of birthdays he has left—depends on Medicaid.

The new Senate budget bill would cut it by $930 billion, we can’t let that happen. Lives depend on it.

Medicaid is personal to me. My brother’s life is whole because of the supports he receives. And for so many disabled people it’s life and death.

We are paying attention and we will be sure everyone else is until you stop trying to use Medicaid as a piggy bank. Just stop, vote no on the budget bill because—

Joined by Chris for this week’s #MedicaidMinute to honor the anniversary of the Olmstead #SCOTUS opinion.

It is so important that we not only #ProtectMedicaid —but also keep fighting for more funding for home and community-based care so that disabled people can live with dignity.
June 22, 2025 at 8:28 PM
For Chris and the millions of disabled people who will be particularly harmed by the proposed cuts to Medicaid—Whose access to the community will be ended, who will be unnecessarily institutionalized, and whose lives are on the line #DontKillOurMedicaid

Today we saw the Senate version of the healthcare provisions of the budget bill, and… it’s even worse than the House version. Contact your Senators today and tell them #ProtectMedicaid
June 17, 2025 at 12:04 AM
My brother Chris making it clear that there are #NoKings and that we can’t allow one dollar to be cut from programs he relies on

Technically my day off but can’t let the BS flying around go I commented on. The cuts being proposed to Medicaid would be CATASTROPHIC and are in fact cuts. And we all deserve government systems that don’t just leave us for dead. Watch and share on where we are in the fight to #ProtectMedicaid
May 30, 2025 at 6:19 PM
Hey @politico.com fixed the headline for you! Dr. Oz lying about GOP plans while whining about being accused of what they’re actually doing—harming disabled people and older adults is a new kind of low.

And if you believe him I’ve got some Green Coffee Bean Extract to sell you…

Proud to represent @caringacross.org and #CareCantWait at the rally that our amazing partners @accessliving.bsky.social planned. Was an honor to talk Medicaid, share stories, fueled by the power of everyone I met today as the fight goes on to #ProtectMedicaid

LIVE from the Home Alone Hallway at ORD— my latest Medicaid Policy update.

On to the Senate. I know there’s a lot of fear, but this is far from a done deal. We slowed them down, and now it’s time to stop them. We can and we will #ProtectMedicaid
