My middle daughter, currently a freshman at Lehigh University, has been on line to vote for 6.5 hours and counting. She did meet Jonathan Groff, which was nice, but it sure smells like voter suppression to me.

I have been asked on two different networks and by two different male hosts today whether abortion rights are as important to women as the economy. I can't say it more clearly: reproductive freedom is economic freedom. They are intrinsically intwined, as every woman knows.

Come on guys, make this go viral. If she can get out the vote, we can too!

Let’s be clear what this case is about —@GlennYoungkin’s administration violated the National Voter Registration Act by systematically removing (purging) over 1600 registered voters from the folks w/in 90 days of an election. 1/x

Let’s be clear about what just happened: only eleven days before a Presidential election, a federal judge ordered Virginia to reinstate over 1,500 individuals–who self-identified themselves as noncitizens–back onto the voter rolls. governor.virginia.gov/newsroom/news-…

Day 23🎗 #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth “Feeling sick had become so common for me that it was PART of me. I was sick- sick in my dreams. I awoke distraught. There was no escaping being sick. I was no longer at peace, even asleep.” #ChildhoodCancer🎗 #Survivor

#ChildhoodCancer makes the start of the school year a painful reminder of all the joyful opportunities taken away from kids & their families around the world. It will steal over 8,500 kids this month alone, that's not "rare!" @CureFest @cac2org @HappyQuailPress @leezawilllshe

Why are many doctors irked by “wellness” initiatives like modules or yoga sessions, even well-meaning ones? Burnout is not a resilience problem. It’s a systems-level problem that comes from chronic workplace stress. It won’t be solved by individual-level solutions.

My grandson was diagnosed 18 years ago with stage IV neuroblastoma. His parents, then #cancer researchers, were shocked at the lack of drugs & blamed the "Valley of Death" where successful #ChildhoodCancer research dies @cac2org @KoontzOncology @MackallLab …ovationdistrict.childrensnational.org/pioneering-and…

It's the most common bone cancer. Cancer in these tumors appear to be cells that help make new bone tissue, but the bone tissue is not as strong as in normal bones. 5 year relative survival rates are 66% for kids, 65% for adolescents #ChildhoodCancer @cac2org @HappyQuailPress

We promised we would keep fighting cancer for kids like him. @D_FeetCancer is hosting a skydiving fundraiser later this month and I’m asking for donations from my fellow @Giants and @VirginiaSports fans. No donation is too small to help kids like D. TY 💚 secure.givelively.org/donate/d-feet-…

Please watch until the end. Highlights disparity in childhood cancer research.

Thank you, Jake Tapper and CNN, for bringing me on the air. If there are as many pediatric cancers as adult cancers, and if few of those pediatric cancers have treatments that enable kids to lead long and healthy lives, then why isn't half NCI's budget dedicated to childhood…

Dalton wanted to skydive but didn't get the chance. It's now a D-Feet Cancer fundraiser. Jump with us July 28, create your own team, or donate to a jumper. 100% of proceeds fund pediatric cancer research. secure.givelively.org/donate/d-feet-… Here is my jump from 2023 youtube.com/watch?v=rcUh_B…

Lung transplant patients—many from out of state—bring MILLIONS of dollars into NC’s economy. We are REQUIRED to mask in public for the first YEAR after. State Senator @Buck_Newton will make that illegal with #HB237. Tell Buck NO! Call him at (919) 733-5878
