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. 💙

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
Democracy requires a shared vision of America's future. We differ on the path, but we must unite on the destination. Right now, different factions see different Americas. That's the crisis we face. Watch: youtu.be/wlHsAvjaZEI
Thanksgiving takeaway: unplug & you might meet a new side of the people you love. My mom learned something on a cruise when they charged extra for Wi-Fi. Her grandsons and her spent a week creating stories together, just talking for hours. She saw sides of them she'd never seen before.
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
Even Beyoncé and Serena Williams faced serious childbirth complications. In this episode, we talk about why Black maternal mortality remains so high and why access alone does not guarantee safety. Watch the clip and the full episode of Prescribing a Healthier Future. https://youtu.be/0ZXqUZl8Pe8
SB 1049 passed the Senate and now moves to the Assembly. 🎉 Denying payment over a missing code isn't protecting the system. It's destabilizing clinics that deliver real care. #SD39 #CALeg
34 felonies without consequences erode our democracy. My mom, Dr. Shirley Weber, reflects on Germany's unified commitment to their constitution versus our courts’ inconsistency. The rule of law must apply equally to all. Listen: youtu.be/wlHsAvjaZEI ⚖️
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
Black Californians live 5 years less than the state average. Black mothers are nearly 3x more likely to die from pregnancy complications, despite most deaths being preventable. Your race or zip code should never determine your health. #BlackHealthEquity
Excited to announce my new podcast "Prescribing a Healthier Future" where we explore how policy shapes public health. Join me for deep dives into healthcare equity, community solutions, and conversations that matter. Together, we'll build a healthier California. #HealthPolicy
Anxiety's more than overthinking. It's a mind-body response, as racing thoughts, tension, or constant worry. You’re not alone & with tools & support, it is manageable. 💙Learn more here: www.mooddisorders.ca www.defeatdepression.ca #DefeatDepression #MoodDisordersCA #AnxietySupport #YouAreNotAlone

What’s a “coywolf?” The modern history of canids in North America is a mess — extirpation, hybridization, introgression — sometimes called “canid soup.” Here’s some nuance about eastern coyotes, which are one part of the story! #wildlife #animal #animals #science #stem #nature #wolf #coyote

Trump claiming Israel wouldn’t exist without him is nonsense. He has done nothing Democrats haven't done—both parties let Israel commit genocide with total impunity. Israel’s existence was never in doubt; it is the lives of their innocent neighbors that are at risk. Stop funding their terror.🤦🏾♂️
