Congress is expected to vote on the reconciliation package in the coming days, and Medicaid is at risk. If passed as written, up to 7.8 million people could lose coverage. We can’t let that happen. Let’s keep the momentum going. Take action now! https://t.co/vOPBqCcnY6

Family caregivers are heroes. But even heroes need help. I thank @SenCapito, @RepKatCammack, and @Rep_Magaziner for their partnership on my Alleviating Barriers for Caregivers Act. We must remove the burden of red tape for caregivers and get them support and services they need. https://t.co/lQlnz59vhL

Thank you, @potus. Happy ADA Anniversary!

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

For millions of Americans, a disability isn’t something broken to be fixed, it’s a source of power.

That’s disability pride – a movement centered around everyone's equal right to be recognized for who you are, and celebrating the progress we’ve made and the work that lies ahead.
