WSNA President @justin-gill.bsky.social is one of 100 individuals selected from around the country included in an exhibit at the new Milken Center for Advancing the American Dream museum in Washington, D.C. Gill is part of the “Tapestry of Dreams” exhibit in the Foundations Gallery at the museum.

Nearly 400,000 Virginians could see their health care costs skyrocket because Trump and Republicans are ripping away tax credits that help working people afford coverage. A 60-year-old couple could pay $1,000 more every month. Families can’t afford this.

Welcome all new followers! And special thanks to @wkyc.bsky.social for hosting Grandparents for Vaccines Founder and President Arthur Lavin yesterday. Dr. Patrick Crago shares what it was like to be a 5 year old child with polio - before a vaccine was available. www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3-H...

Wondering what #GrandparentsforVaccines is all about? Take a look at nurseteria.bsky.social and donnagaffney.bsky.social op ed published this week in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. meidastouch.com mollyjongfast.bsky.social todayshow.com www.cleveland.com/opinion/2025...

@meidastouch.com is reaching people because they elevate voices that may be hidden in established media circles. On healthcare, they embraced frontline nursing & medical voices from the start. Congrats on your success this far! @meiselasb.bsky.social @bmeiselas.bsky.social @meidasjordy.bsky.social

Health care premiums are spiking across the country 📈 This plan for a 60-year-old couple making $85,000 in Fulton County, Georgia, will cost $2,064 MORE PER MONTH in 2026 than a very similar plan in 2025. 💸

Republican Voter: I am begging you to pass this legislation. My kids could die. We don't have the credit because of the medical bills that I have to pay regularly. You could stop this...the audacity of someone who makes 6 figures a year to do this to military families is insane.

Nurses for America Statement 10/01 on Government Shutdown and Impact on Health Care Access As nurses, we stand with our colleagues across medicine, hospitals, telehealth, and public health in warning that this shutdown endangers patients and communities.

Well done #WestCoastHealthAlliance @vinguptamd.bsky.social @protectourcare.org @standupforscience.bsky.social @meidastouch.com @msnbc.com @governorferguson.bsky.social @gavinnewsom.bsky.social @tinakotek.bsky.social Josh Green

Nurses associations in WA, OR, CA, & HI stand by our #westcoasthealthalliance leaders. Healthcare must be grounded in science, not partisan ideology. Nurses stand ready to protect our patients from the erosion of trust in our federal health agencies. @governorferguson.bsky.social @wsna.bsky.social

"The group brings together hundreds of grandparents nationwide who lived through diseases such as polio, tuberculosis and measles — illnesses once thought eliminated in the United States..." www.kgw.com/article/news...

“This settlement represents a win for nurses, science, and patients,” said WSNA president @justin-gill.bsky.social. “When clinicians, researchers, and advocates join together in pushing back against harmful policies by the administration, we can make a meaningful impact for our patients.”

Resistance against harmful policies can often yield effective results. We must continue to hold our values close and push back when necessary. @wsna.bsky.social

Proud to be represented by @murray.senate.gov. RFK Jr. must be removed as HHS Secretary. -Nurses, physicians, and healthcare workers deserve better -Patients & communities deserve better -Taxpayers deserve better The clown show must end, & RFK Jr. must go! www.murray.senate.gov/senator-murr...

It's happy Sherrod Brown day! Please join @nursesforamerica.bsky.social and make a donation to help defeat a Republican Senator. We must flip the Senate in 2026 and the path goes through Ohio. Click, contribute, and share!

I'm excited to share that I've been endorsed by @nursesforamerica.bsky.social .Throughout my career, I have worked along side so many dedicated and talented nurses. Having their support for my campaign is truly an honor. #HambleyForOhio #CareForOhio #SecretaryOfState #Ohio #NursesForHambley

A coalition of 16 state nurses’ associations express profound concerns regarding recent reports that U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is considering the removal of all current members of the non-partisan United States Preventive Services Task Force.

Julia Barcott, registered nurse at Astria Toppenish Hospital and former WSNA vice president, was featured in an article by @cascadepbs.bsky.social on 14 rural hospitals in Washington state deemed at risk of closure from Medicaid cuts.

Congrats to @nurseteria.bsky.social and @donnagaffney.bsky.social on publishing another Op-Ed! This time for USA Today! www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

The warnings from nurses, physicians, and healthcare workers should not be ignored. We have a front row seat to the problems that affect our patients and the healthcare system. Those that voted for HR 1 must be held accountable in the next election.

Thank you @nurseteria.bsky.social and @timothyholtz.bsky.social for publishing a well written Op-Ed on why Congress should restore and protect HIV funding www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/07/22/c...

Call all Republicans !!! House votes on PBS @9am “If this package passes the House, all funding to local stations will be cut off starting October 1, 2025 and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting will shut down.”

Asking nurses to leverage their public trust, elevate their voices, and advocate for our patients tomorrow! There will be many other amazing nurse advocates in attendance and speaking at this virtual rally! Join us! @nursesshiftchange.bsky.social

PBS and NPR’s Last-Ditch Fight to Save Funding www.nytimes.com/2025/07/15/b...

Save PBS Senate votes tomorrow Call your Senator NOW

@nursesforamerica.bsky.social issued a letter to the US Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) committee outlining HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s efforts to dismantle our nations’s public health system and weaken confidence in our science-based institutions.

It's very telling that the president of Mexico sent more resources to aid the search for people caught in the Texas floods than the president of America did. But to be fair... it's hard to gather resources from a fairway bunker on the 15th hole.

This feels like a ✨prime✨ week to close the book on Amazon.

The best way to continue to change hearts and minds is by telling our real-life stories, & translating the impact of policy on actual lives. We can’t give up after this HR 1 fight. We all lose when we stop resisting injustice & cruelty. Turn that anger into motivation to speak up. @wsna.bsky.social

NFA Statement in response to the passage of HR 1 To our colleagues in Congress: If you hold the title “nurse,” you must not support policies that strip away their basic health and safety protections. Nursing demands more than a title; it requires living its highest ideals in public service.

@donnagaffney.bsky.social & @nurseteria.bsky.social: “Our nation demands leadership rooted in science, not ideology. The secretary must be replaced with someone who respects evidence, protects public trust & understands what it truly means to lead in healthcare.” www.post-gazette.com/opinion/gues...

Shame! Yes she got kickbacks, but she doesn’t realize that Alaskans still depend on a stable & accessible system in WA. Harborview Seattle is Alaska’s closest Level 1 facility. She may feel she is helping Alaska, but she is hurting the state that Alaskans need to function well to access vital care.

Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.

No Kings Day was one of the largest days of protest in US history. From deep red small towns to our largest cities, millions of people turned out to make it clear that the American people will not bow to fascism. #NoKings

Nurses standing up and speaking out in Seattle at #nokings #nokingsseattle. We consistently rank as the most trusted profession. Because of that, we have a responsibility to speaking up for what is right when our patients and profession are threatened

Elmo showed up in Lake Oswego, Oregon #NoKingsDay

Raskin: You are not our king, and we are not your subjects. We will never be your subjects. All of us born here on this land are citizens and your executive order is nothing but bad graffiti on the Constitution, and we're going to wash it off today

Jamie Raskin: My friends, fascism will not be the end of American democracy, American democracy will be the end of fascism!

This targets my home state of WA, CA, IL & DC. Many of us seeing patients over the past year helped these patients legally (through a 1332 CMS Waiver) get care & those patients trusted us. This is one easy way to infuriate & mobilize nurses & healthcare workers… LINK: apnews.com/article/medi...
