There was a 13 point swing last night in TN-07.
If we see a 13 point swing in South Carolina in Nov 2026 Lindsey Graham will be retired and I will be the first ever pediatrician Senator.

The AAP and more than 40 organizations are alarmed that the CDC is promoting the outdated, disproven idea that vaccines cause autism. We’re calling on the CDC to return to its long history of promoting evidence-based information to protect Americans’ health. Read the full statement: bit.ly/3XILwry

People all across Pennsylvania are seeing their premiums skyrocket.
This is our last chance to save affordable health care for thousands of our neighbors. We can't afford to let it pass.
I'm calling on Senators Fetterman & McCormick to stand up for working people and say NO.

BREAKING: Pennsylvania is now driving out November SNAP benefits.
After we won in court yesterday, we moved quickly to start getting benefits loaded on EBT cards and out the door — and we're working to get every Pennsylvanian currently waiting for federal food assistance benefits what they're owed.

78% of Americans want Congress to extend the enhanced ACA tax credits that help low- and moderate-income families afford health coverage.
Letting them expire means higher premiums and lost coverage for millions. #ProtectACA #ProtectPatients

KFF Health Tracking Poll: Public Weighs Political Consequences of Health Policy Legislation | KFF
KFF's Health Tracking Poll finds that more than three-quarters of the public say they want Congress to extend the ACA enhanced premium tax credits that are set to expire at the end of this year. If the credits do expire and the average premium more than doubles, seven in 10 of those who purchase their own insurance say they would not be able to afford premiums without significantly disrupting their household finances.
