Happy Medicaid’s birthday!! (also Medicare) I’ve been thinking a lot about why I love Medicaid more than anything in the world and I’ve landed on hope. Medicaid in its essence was built on hope- a hope in a better health care system, a dream that people most in need deserve health.

Medicaid was signed into law this minute 60 years ago! (2:55pm CT in Independence, MO) Happy birthday Medicaid! (also Medicare).

Mankind-that word should have new meaning for all of us today. Perhaps its fate that today is the 4th of July & you will once again be fighting for our freedom… from annihilation.

I’ve spent my entire life working to improve the lives of people who are living in poverty. The need continues to get greater every day. I hope you join me in this drive because days like today make me want to fight harder for our collective humanity. I 💙 you, Medicaid.

THE MARVELS is a really fun film worth going to. It makes me so sad that people aren’t seeing it.

Killers of the Flower Moon was a good movie but should not win best sound mixing.

We did a thing. www.wral.com/story/with-f...

@darthbluesky.bsky.social guess who just got dog of the week!

Today I walked by two elderly men who definitely aren’t online who were eating breakfast and taking about the Roman Empire.

I still don’t think this website gives me the same amount of information as I used to get on dark sky.
