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

When our democracy faces threats and our community's health hangs in the balance, we must take a stand. Prop 50 may not be perfect, but these aren't normal times. Your voice matters - especially now. ⚡️ #HealthAndDemocracy
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

Preventive care requires upfront investment, but chronic disease management costs exponentially more over time. If we want to reduce healthcare costs and improve health equity, prevention has to come first. Watch the full conversation: https://youtu.be/0ZXqUZl8Pe8

Healthcare access shouldn't depend on technical loopholes. Some insurers use "copay accumulators" to pocket patient aid without lowering costs for the insured. I authored #SB1199 to ban this, protect our $250 copay cap, and ensure no one chooses between food and medicine. 🩺🗳️
1 in 5 U.S. adults and nearly 20% of youth face mental or substance use disorders each year. I presented SCR 175 to recognize May 2026 as Behavioral Health Awareness Month. We must reduce stigma and treat behavioral health as essential health. #SCR175 #BehavioralHealth
Excited to share a powerful conversation on my latest podcast about healthcare access in San Diego. 888,000 residents rely on Medi-Cal, and proposed cuts could impact their care. Let's discuss solutions and protect our community's health. #HealthcareAccess

Luke Akehurst tries to ward off a leadership challenge by saying it would increase pressure for a snap general election & what Labour needs to do is stick to delivering the program they were elected on Where in the manifesto did it say you'd restrict our right to trial by jury?

🇮🇷 An Iranian woman in Tehran sends a message to Iranian diaspora monarchists who pushed the US and Israel to bomb their own country. "This is your country's infrastructure. This isn't something to celebrate. There's no happiness in this. Now go ahead and dance" #Iran #IranWar #RiseUp #USA #Israel
This moment hits hard because Peter just came back from the dead, had a nice moment with Tony Stark, only for the latter to sacrifice his life to win the battle. It’s honestly heartbreaking and the first time we witness him losing someone he had a close relationship with.

The 'worst of the worst' offenders of the 'Trump 2-week' bull manure is the 'face of @ms.now'. After being made to look foolish over the course of the first month, Joe was focused on getting Sen. Schumer to go along with his longtime friend Trump. When Schumer didn't, Joe got all hot and bothered.
