I'm a bit late, @senatorweinstein.bsky.social... Happy Rosh Hashana!

We're waiting outside Sen Jon Husted's office for more of our Ohio volunteers for our 4:30 #CancerLobbyDay to urge him to #ProtectCancerCures.

I wore my mini me pin - made by @acscan.bsky.social volunteer Julie - to our meeting with @repemiliasykes.bsky.social where I gave her her own mini me (thanks to Julie).

Such a wonderful surprise! @repemiliasykes.bsky.social was able to join our #CancerLobbyDay meeting with HLA Isobel Root. Our thanks to both of you for your support & additional details on the Health Care Tax Credits. #ProtectCancerCures

Thank you @tiffanymuller.bsky.social for joining @repemiliasykes.bsky.social at her town hall (Community Conversation) in Canton last night. Very informative.

The Guardians snapped out of their slump Tuesday night — ending a 28-inning scoreless drought and a six-game skid with a 3-0 win over the Rays at Progressive Field.

"Acosta took what was a prepared, 60-count federal indictment that could have landed Epstein in prison for the rest of this life many times over, and turned it into the sweetest plea bargain in the world." Rep. Raskin previews why congressional Democrats are so eager to hear from Alex Acosta.

Unless you’re planning to buy your second luxury yacht, the so-called Big Beautiful Bill is an ugly piece of legislation that transfers your wealth to the richest people in the country.

Cutting Medicaid will have real impacts on families in #OH13, like Mariah and her daughter, who rely on Medicaid to afford treatments for Mariah's daughter, who lives with a spinal condition. Rep. Sykes will not stop fighting for this family and the thousands of others in #OH13 who rely on Medicaid.

Ohioans cannot afford to lose access to their health care and government services, just so the richest 1% can see a tax cut that is nearly four times the median family income. Rep. Sykes works for you, not billionaires, which is why she cannot support Republicans’ reconciliation bill.

Psaki: The firing of Fed governor Lisa Cook "is a part of a larger pattern of Trump attempting to grab power ... He wants interest rates to rise and fall at his command, so he can juice the economy whenever he wants to for short term political gain."

Have a wonderful day, @senatorweinstein.bsky.social!

My heartfelt congrats to Ohio native Travis Kelce on his engagement to the amazing Taylor Swift. Now that I have your attention-we must do everything we can 2 elect candidates at all levels who value our public schools, libraries, clean water programs, healthcare. The Ohioans I serve depend on it.

The challenge began at 1 minute after midnight! And, I challenge YOU to lead the way to help me collect $100 in #LightsOfHope dedications or straight donations. Go to acscan.donordrive.com/participant/... to dedicate a Light to someone in your life impacted by cancer. You can make a difference!

Life-saving idea! Pass it on!

Trump’s Epstein cover-up isn’t about ancient history. This is about a sitting president potentially being able to use his power (again) to protect himself and his elite friends from justice. But the story isn’t going away — because we’re not letting it: indivisible.org/epsteinfiles...

Wonderful to hear from a @RelayForLife chair who I worked with years ago! Thank you, Debbie, for your generous donation to #ACSCAN thru dedicating #LightsOfHope to 10 people in your life impacted by cancer. Debbie's not just lighting a bag – she's igniting a flame of change.

When you donate to Lights of Hope, you're not just lighting a bag – you're igniting a flame of change. Go to acscan.donordrive.com/participant/... to dedicate a Light of Hope to yourself or someone in your life. Your dedication or donation is very much appreciated.

#LightsOfHope is the signature fundraiser of @acscan.bsky.social dedicated to honoring those who have been impacted by cancer & remembering those lost. Your contribution helps us continue the fight against cancer, push for critical federal research funding, support services, & advocacy efforts. ⬇️

It has been the honor of my life to serve as Commissioner of BLS alongside the many dedicated civil servants tasked with measuring a vast and dynamic economy. It is vital and important work and I thank them for their service to this nation.

After casting the deciding vote for Trump’s megabill to kick millions off health care, Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski told reporters she hopes the House doesn’t pass that version. “If you really believe that, then why the hell did you vote for the bill?” asks Dem Rep. Jim McGovern.

What I don't understand is how Lisa Murkowski could have missed a very obvious point here. How could she possibly think that her constituents in Alaska would thank her for getting them special favors, if it came at the cost of people's health care and food in other states?

Thank you, @RepEmiliaSykes! #ProtectMedicaid #ProtectAffordableCare

Today, the US Senate passed a bill that will kick nearly 12M people off health insurance, the majority of whom have #Medicaid. @JD-Vance-1.bsky.social, I'm extremely disappointed in your vote to break the tie. This won't #ProtectMedicaid for Ohioans & cancer patients who need it for lifesaving care.

Today, the U.S. Senate passed a bill that will kick nearly 12M people off health insurance, the majority of whom have #Medicaid. Sen Jon Husted, we’re extremely disappointed in your vote. This won't #ProtectMedicaid for Ohioans & cancer patients who need it for lifesaving care.

Those in the area, be sure to stop by my @acscan.bsky.social table at the Akron (Ohio) Pride Festival on 8/23rd.

It shouldn't get lost that just today, Senate Republicans have voted to close nursing homes, close rural hospitals, and cut food stamp benefits for children and veterans.

I just gave Republicans a chance to backtrack on the $1 TRILLION cuts to Medicaid in their budget bill. Every single one of them doubled down on their plans to deny their constituents life-saving health care and voted no.

Who will be the Sen John McCain of the #BBB and give it a 👎? Which Rs will listen to their constituents' wants & needs and vote NO? How will you be remembered? As a hero? Or as a mindless coward? #ProtectMedicaid #ProtectAffordableCare

Nobody dreams of growing up to be on food stamps or Medicaid. These are lifelines to our most needy, not aspirations.

The “Big Bad Bill” is moving to debate & vote in the Senate! Senator Bernie Moreno vowed to vote NO on cuts to Medicaid. This bill cuts Medicaid by $900 billion. Call NOW. Tell Moreno to keep his word to VOTE NO on Medicaid cuts. Columbus office: 614-469-2083, DC office: 202-224-2315.

Between Trump attacking Tillis and Collins being forced to suck up to him, it feels like Democrats just picked up two Senate seats in 2026.

The Trump tax and spending bill now being debated by the Senate would add $3.3 trillion to the national debt over the next decade, according to the CBO, even more than the $2.4 trillion cost of the House version. @aduehren.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/06/29/u...

Every change they’ve made to this bill has kicked more people off healthcare.

I stayed up late to watch the vote. I was so excited. At that time, Senators Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski were also my heroes in that 49-51 vote to defeat the bill. However, not today.

Look at this amazing sign. #NoKings #butterfly

Ohio has 11 rural hospitals on the list that could be at risk of closing if Trump's #BBB passes the Senate with the Senate Republican cuts. One is in my parents' hometown of East Liverpool, where I still have cousins, nieces and nephews.

When ordinary Republicans understand how Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” would affect the after-tax incomes of American families, it turns out they don’t find it beautiful at all. “I was really shocked."

America hates Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill”

UPDATE: Republicans’ Big Beautiful Bill cuts nearly $1 TRILLION from Medicaid.

At Cleveland Pride yesterday, I was collecting reasons to protect Medicaid. This 8 year old boy had the mic drop. If he gets it, why can’t you @BernieMoreno and @SenatorJonHusted?

The U.S. Senate will vote any day now on a bill that will kick millions off #Medicaid and increase health care costs for everyone. This could come down to just one or two votes. Send a message to them now urging them to vote NO on these devastating cuts:
