My triple negative breast cancer diagnosis was thanks to a yearly screening mammogram. Because of this mammogram, my tumor was caught at stage 1b. I only had to do 4 rounds of chemotherapy and 15 rounds of radiation and a lumpectomy rather than a double mastectomy 1/2 #thread

BREAKING: The Trump administration took $2 BILLION+ from our military to use on political stunts.

This is an insult to our troops. It won’t make our military stronger or Americans safer.

The ACA tax credits expire on December 31st.

There is still time to extend these life-saving tax credits that help tens of millions of Americans afford health care.

House Republicans: do the right thing and work with Democrats to save health care.

This is how democracies fail. A sitting President is boosting calls for the arrest and execution of political opponents for urging the military to uphold the Constitution. Every alarm in the country should be going off.

Hertling: When you saw Trump talking about how this is Biden’s war, saying it could have been prevented if Zelensky had just done X, Y, or Z — it’s ludicrous.

This is a war that Putin has been planning and carried out on his own.
