This race is one of a few that can shift where America will be before midterms in 2026. You don't have to live in FLCD-01 to be affected by its representative. We can all play a part in #TeamValimont! Start where you are, in this moment.
The race for the seat vacated by Matt Gaetz is the first electoral recourse against the Trump Administration. Our entire country needs us to show up on April 1st. This race isn't just about what's good for District 1. It is about fighting for the core values of America.

"The effort to erase the old standard of public men and private woman has been a mistake."

2024 was arguably the year that the dangers of corporate medicine finally became undeniable and inescapable. @dhruvkhullar.bsky.social writes about the cost of viewing patients as consumers who generate profit.
The Gilded Age of Medicine Is Here
Health insurers and hospitals increasingly treat patients less as humans in need of care than consumers who generate profit.
