With Omicron surging and COVID cases at record levels in California, #CALeg MUST support workers by reinstating back COVID paid sick leave! #PaidSickDaysNow
I stand in #solidarity with the 20k+ nurses and health care pros of @unacuhcp who are fighting for safe staffing at @kpthrive

17k nurses and health care pros voted to authorize a strike at @kpthrive, along with @OFNHP and @steelworkers Local 7600, for a total of 31k Kaiser workers.
Our goal is safe staffing so we can continue to provide the best care.

This just sucks. I worked at ThinkProgress for two years and did a lot of work I was really proud of there. At its best, it pushed the boundaries of what was possible in political journalism — as proven by its astonishingly accomplished alumni group.
A really terrible loss.

Surfacing some really great solutions to rising drug prices. May I also suggest a rival insulin producer that doesn't exist and a new treatment for diabetes that Enzi made up. 🤦♀️

This, & also class size. I was at Rockland Elementary this morning and about 46 kids showed up. For reference, that's how many kids LAUSD wants to have in high school classes. This is why @UTLAnow is fighting for better #staffing #UTLAstrong thinkprogress.org/what-los-a…

Today is #WorldDiabetesDay and many people who don't know they have diabetes may not pay much attention. A year ago, I was one of those people. Now, my a1c levels are below pre-diabetic range, I've lost ~20% of my body weight, and I feel much, much, much better.
