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
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. 🩺🗳️
Most people are expected to navigate deductibles, copays, prior authorizations, and coverage limits without ever being taught how insurance really works. Watch the full conversation: https://youtu.be/0ZXqUZl8Pe8

Families deserve to trust their child’s care. SB 874 strengthens Medi-Cal behavioral health with provider background checks, expert + family input, and clear standards with accountability—because quality care for kids shouldn’t be a question.

The green flag isn’t “never fighting.” Healthy couples still have conflict—they just repair quickly. A simple “let’s start over” or even reaching for your partner’s hand can interrupt the stress response and remind both people the relationship is still safe. #relationshipadvice
A shove can kill. Vicha Ratanapakdee was 84. He was pushed to the ground and died from the impact. Markwayne Mullin downplays violence. That is the problem. And this is the mindset being considered for DHS leadership. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79LTF3aQID0

The US spends $886 billion a year on defense. We can’t find money for universal healthcare. 68 million Americans are uninsured or underinsured. This is a priorities problem. Republicans chose bombs over your body. Hold them accountable. #FundHealthcareNotWar
