Are you a healthcare worker, watching all these attacks on our patients and wanting to make a difference? It's time for us IN Healthcare to take back healthcare! Our collective voices have the power to make a difference. Join @protecthealthcare.medsky.social

Missouri Republicans are hell bent on gerrymandering the state to strip YOU of YOUR vote They also plan to remove the initiative petition process, our only ability to influence policy when state legislators refuse to do their job If you're not OK with this, join the fight @mojwjva.bsky.social

Without changes, U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley fears the "big beautiful bill" would mean "there’s going to be a lot of rural hospitals in Missouri that close." #moleg #mogov

Our breakdown of the MAHA report: We shouldn't sanction unnecessary, inhumane deaths from lack of access to healthcare #SaveMedicaid Details matter Vaccines are one of the greatest gifts of medicine @protecthealthcare.medsky.social @drrobdavidson.bsky.social #PagingAmerica youtu.be/tQkd2GbsyfI?...

frustrating, but I'm not particularly worried. Sup Ct. didn't say the judge was wrong, but that they're adopting a new rule specific to enjoining statutes (that comes from a federal abortion case). don't see a ton of difference, so I think judge will apply different caselaw & reach the same result

A lot of people can talk, but actions speak louder. The MO GOP thinks Missourians -don't deserve access to comprehensive healthcare -nor the ability to care for their loved ones when sick -nor a liveable wage -nor the right for their vote to count Remember this at the ballot box

Cutting Medicaid means cutting off care for the most vulnerable. Dr. Christine Crader joined fellow MI doctors, leaders, & advocates yesterday to urge @RepJames: protect the care your constituents rely on — don’t take it away. #ProtectMedicaid #PatientsOverProfits

Missouri’s Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld Proposition A, the voter-approved law expanding paid sick leave set to go into effect Thursday. It was a unanimous opinion but one judge dissented on the reasoning. #moleg #mogov via @clarabates.bsky.social

Working at a tertiary care referral center in the Midwest, we have the privilege of meeting and caring for so many: lawyers to rural farmers. We see urban and rural poverty. There are a lot of forces that work to pit urban vs rural communities Medicaid is a lifeline to both and must be saved.

Everybody has bad days, what you don't want is someone having a bad day with a gun in their hand making unmodifiable decisions they will regret and cant take back. More guns don't save lives This could have just been a fist fight, now people are dead

When I get to the Senate, I'll support a bill to ban Congressional stock trading on day one. No elected official should be cashing in while the American people see their retirements go down the drain.

From STL to Springfield, Columbia to KC — workers rallied to defend what we fought for. @moworkers.org Prop A wasn’t a gift. It was won by hard-working Missourians who organized, voted, and showed up. We’re not letting them take it away. #ProtectPropA #MOleg #POPSRally

🎉 Today, #MOworkers and allies with @mojwjva.bsky.social from Kansas City to St. Louis came together to celebrate and spread the word that #PaidSickDays will go into effect starting May 1!

Good job investing in public schools KC!

Written by one of MO JwJ's leaders, Priya Pal @priyapal.bsky.social "Proposition A provided critical health benefits while economically uplifting Missourians." Lawmakers shouldn’t undermine Missouri’s voter-approved paid sick leave law missouriindependent.com/2025/03/21/2...

"respiratory infection and gastrointestinal infection outbreaks were nearly 40% lower in nursing homes that offered paid sick leave to employees" by @priyapal.bsky.social: missouriindependent.com/2025/03/21/2...

Proposition A is a Missouri-made solution that puts workers and businesses on the path to long-term prosperity. We must stand firm against efforts to roll back this progress. A stronger, healthier Missouri benefits us all.

While MO GOP Reps vote to gut MO Medicaid which covers 1 in 5 MO adults and 40% MO children, state GOP reps are working to divert your hard earned tax dollars to crisis pregnancy centers (pursue non- evidenced based practices that have landed women in the hospital) By @bridgettedunlap.bsky.social

Yes! A People's Town Hall in MO-02 since Ann Wagner hasn't held one in 12 years!!

Paid sick leave is an important public health policy that allows workers to care for their families during unanticipated illnesses. The MO legislature is trying to undo paid sick leave and the will of voters. If you're a MO healthcare worker, please consider signing on with your support

This letter appeared in the Bloomsburg PA Press Enterprise this morning. I am assured the writer is who he purports to be, an Air Force veteran.

Not only is this a waste of taxpayer dollars, but will fuel undue skepticism in safe vaccines and lead to more outbreaks like the ongoing measles outbreak abcnews.go.com/Health/cdc-s...

Healthcare access for rural America is already limited. Many drive >1hr for care Medicaid/CHIP provides 79 mil Americans access to healthcare & prop up many rural hospitals Republican proposed cuts would gut rural healthcare just to provide billionaires higher tax breaks.

Public education is not for sale Our postal service isn't for sale Public parks aren't for sale Social security & Medicare aren't entitlement programs If you want to know what happens when public goods are sold to corporations, look no further than Britain under Tory rule youtu.be/qj-gAUaUF-4?...

Nice job DOGE, way to reduce a waste of taxpayer dollars 😞

This is better than I would have guessed, sadly. Half of Congress doesn’t seem to know there are three branches of government.

Excellent piece!

Me on our representatives’ refusal to represent us as Trump and Musk burn everything down: missouriindependent.com/2025/02/17/w...

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

After a couple of injuries, so excited to be getting back the muscle💪 ✅️ clapping push-ups Next real pull-ups!

Our love language? Accessible and affordable health care for all. 💖 This Valentine's Day, let's show some love for the policies that protect our health and our loved ones' health.

It's happening! Legal abortion in Missouri is happening!!!!!!

BREAKING: Judge Carl Nichols - a Trump appointee - announced he will pause Trump’s effort to gut USAID. www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

It's been a rough 2wks for the nation, but now is not the time for complacency. We cannot afford to gamble with the health of our patients. Call your senators now and urge them to reject RFK Jrs. nomination for HHS secretary

Not all ingredients belong in your cake… such as avian flu 😬 #H5N1 #ScienceMatters #RFKJr #BakeandLearn #MedSky

She lost her life serving our country and because of the smears by the President her family doesn’t want us to know her name. It’s two weeks and this Administration is the most shameful imaginable. — Army withholds name of Black Hawk helicopter crew in D.C. crash www.npr.org/2025/01/30/n...

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

My ride or die crew for the last 25yrs A lot has changed over the last quarter century, but my love for them has not. We all live in different cities and only get to meet up ~once a year now, but it fuels my soul

Why would RFK advise the public to not get the HPV vaccine (a vaccine which has prevented 90% HPV assoc cancers: oropharyngeal, vaginal, rectal, cervical, vulvar, penile) ->because he has earned >1 million from referral fees, benefits and salary on the lawsuit against Merck

Today the largest cost of healthcare comes from those that contribute little to actually health delivery, middlemen like insurance companies and PBMs. If every doctor worked probono. It would only reduce national costs by 8%

Alcohol is our generations tobacco, will we be brave enough to embrace that?

Raw /unpasteurized milk contains bacteria & parasites that cause disease. Pasteurization* removes the pathogens w/out changing nutritional content. There is an ongoing H5N1 outbreak among dairy cattle with 37 people infected. Loosening restrictions will hurt your constituents

We've lost a moral giant who embodied humility. President Jimmy Carter was a visionary leader and a singularly good person, and his remarkable lifetime of service—from Plains, Georgia to the White House and beyond—exemplified the best of what America could be.

There has been no scientific discovery that has had a greater positive impact on human health than vaccines. www.who.int/news/item/24... We need scientists/ physicians/ public health experts running HHS not RFK Jr. His appointment would have devastating consequences around the globe

. @bridgettedunlap.bsky.social writes this morning in an opinion piece that after arguing Amendment 3 would lead to “unregulated, and unrestricted abortions" in Missouri, the attorney general's office now says the state can continue to regulate abortion. #moleg #mogov
