I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work. I don’t let bullies win. Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

I’m not down with this! These Democrats voted with Republicans to censure Al Green: - Ami Bera (CA) - Ed Case (HI) - Jim Costa (CA) - Laura Gillen (NY) - Jim Himes (CT) - Chrissy Houlahan (PA) - Marcy Kaptur (OH) - Jared Moskowitz (FL) - Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA) - Tom Suozzi (NY)

This is indeed brilliant

Can't wait to hear about the @amermedicalassn.bsky.social 's plan to save Medicaid.

Having to fight Elon Musk at DOGE before we’ve even battled Trump feels like having to defeat the forces of Saruman first at Helm’s Deep.

Just got a phone call from my primary care doc friend - their patient suddenly requires #priorauth for glargine. INSULIN GLARGINE. What in the actual bleeping bleep bleep. Incidentally, patient has UHC. Unacceptable. #medsky #endocrinesky #primarycare

If what Brianna Boston said is a legitimate threat that warrants charges and $100k bond, every man who tweeted "your body, my choice" needs to be in prison.

If you want to understand why healthcare pricing is horrific, the first thing to know is that our system puts 100% of the credit risk for deductibles, copays and co-insurance on hospitals and doctors. That's insane. We have turned them into Sub Prime Lenders 🧵

Do you see value in your county and state medical associations? Why or why not? We’re moving towards a future where the federal government is going to be working against public health. I’m interested in learning more about the value you see in your society and how to make it better. #medsky

When I was a child, I learned that the Constitution didn’t apply to people like us. I said the Pledge of Allegiance from inside a barbed wire camp, the words “with liberty and justice for all” wholly meaningless. But I did not give up on America. I’ve spent my life fighting for its ideals.

Unsolicited career advice: Be humble enough to know you are replaceable. Be arrogant enough to know that it will be a downgrade.

Americans have a weird cognitive bias. People make incorrect estimates about the population. Crazy incorrect. For instance, they think 21% of the country is trans, 40% is black, and 30% lives in NYC. . . . 1/7 www.thebulwark.com/p/americans-...

UnitedHealthCare is raking in the quarterly profits at the expense of patients receiving health care. Not only that, providers and physicians get harassed by insurers when they’re just trying to take care of their patients smh
