Maternal mental health is the leading complication of pregnancy in CA, affecting 1 in 3 moms. I’m presenting #SCR161 to recognize Maternal Mental Health Awareness Month. We must end the stigma and ensure families can access the care they deserve 🩺🗳️

Black women aren't believed in medical settings. This has to change. When symptoms are dismissed, lives are at stake. We must speak up AND doctors must listen better. Watch my full conversation here: https://youtu.be/0ZXqUZl8Pe8 #HealthEquity
I authored SB 987 to create the CA Health Access Fund. New federal rules shouldn’t stop you from seeing a doctor. We’re reinvesting enrollment "savings" back into care to protect those losing coverage and ensure our clinics stay funded. 🩺🛡️ #SB987 #HealthEquity #MediCal
SCR 122 is now official. February 2026 marks 100 years of Black History Month—a century of honoring the contributions and resilience of African Americans. Honoring this history means continuing the work to advance equity and justice for all. #BlackHistoryMonth #SCR122
AI should close health gaps, not widen them. I authored SB 503 to require healthcare AI developers to actively find and fix algorithmic bias. 🩺💻 If we inspect bridges for safety, we must inspect the code deciding who gets care. Accountability is how we ensure health equity for all.
I authored SB 1199 to stop insurers from ignoring medication copay assistance. Now, if someone pays on your behalf, that amount MUST count toward your deductible. No more shell games, assistance should benefit the patient, not pad insurance profits. 💊🛡️ #SB1199 #HealthEquity #CAleg
Education is a social determinant of health. I’m proud to author SB 1067 to require early math screening for K-2 students. By catching challenges early, we can close the achievement gap and ensure every child has the foundation to thrive. 🎒📐 #SB1067 #HealthEquity
A small paperwork error shouldn’t cost providers thousands—or limit patient care. SB 1049 gives healthcare providers 90 days to fix correctable claim mistakes so they can get paid for care already delivered. Protect providers. Protect access. #SB1049 #HealthcareAccess #CAleg
Effective CPR can triple a person's chance of survival. I authored SB 945 to require hands-on CPR & AED training for all CA high schoolers by 2027. We’re empowering our students to be first responders and ensuring these life-saving skills aren't left to chance. 🩺❤️ #SB945 #PublicHealth
Alzheimer’s steals memories—and the people we love. Families shouldn’t have to choose between treatment and financial stability. That’s why I authored SB 950: if your doctor prescribes an FDA-approved Alzheimer’s medication, insurance must cover it. No step therapy. No barriers. 💙
When communities speak up together, leaders pay attention. In this episode, we talk about how consistent advocacy around prevention programs, reimbursement, and access to care can influence funding and policy decisions. Watch the full conversation: https://youtu.be/0ZXqUZl8Pe8

The warnings were clear, yet the crowd rushed to hand over power anyway. You were never an ally; you were just a tool to be used. Realize this: every token eventually gets spent by the man at the top. 🎯 #WeCantAffordTrump

There is no reason the military should be at our polls. Period. When I asked, Secretary Hegseth wouldn’t answer directly. That’s because he knows President Trump is watching and doesn’t want to make him angry.

Our take on: What are no-gos in #SciComm 🛑❕ Science communication takes many shapes and forms, and this diversity is part of what makes the field so engaging. At the same time, there are certain pitfalls to avoid, regardless of the format. We asked our team to share some of their key red flags.

Over the past four years, the Ukrainian people have fought heroically to defend their home against Russia’s unprovoked invasion. Now, Trump is letting Putin rake in billions of dollars to fuel his war of conquest. Here’s how:
