You deserve to know what you’re drinking. 🥤 SB 869 will require chain restaurants in California to show added sugar warnings on high-sugar drinks—no fine print, just transparency. Better info = healthier choices. #SB869 #SugarAwareness #HealthEquity
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
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
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
HBCUs aren’t just about degrees — they build lifelong communities, teach leadership, legacy, and giving back. Graduates thrive academically and carry lessons that last a lifetime. 🎓💛 https://youtu.be/aEG7HS3WY0c #HBCUs #RepresentationMatters #Community
At least 57 HBCUs received bomb threats in just January and February—racially motivated acts of intimidation, according to the FBI. Dr. Kelly O. Elmore and I discuss safety, leadership, and why real leaders protect their people—especially our students. 🎓 Full episode: youtu.be/aEG7HS3WY0c
Pregnancy is already tough. For Black women, systemic racism, stress, and barriers to care make it even harder. These aren’t stats—they’re mothers, daughters, sisters. Watch why this disparity exists & what we can do: https://youtu.be/0ZXqUZl8Pe8 #BlackMaternalHealth #HealthEquity #MaternalHealth
“My children have to bring me to my appointments. Do I pay for medicine or rent?" This is what social determinants of health look like in real life. Courtney and I talk about how these realities affect Black maternal health and why listening to lived experiences matters. youtu.be/0ZXqUZl8Pe8
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

Chris Bryant says he is a remainer and would like the UK to be back in the UK But then mistakes tactical voting in 2024 to get rid of the Conservatives for endorsing Labour's Brexit red lines It's this type of dishonesty from politicians that is a disgrace

Speaker Johnson really wondered how we expect the millionaires in Congress to live off only $174k without a little stock trading. That's why I pledge to dedicate time in Congress to teaching the 98% of Congress that isn’t from the working class about how to make ends meet, no insider trading needed.
