40% of low-to-moderate income households in Texas find their energy bills unaffordable, report finds https://t.co/KqwjxMOAsF @houstonchron

Unacceptable - TX costs are 1% of income for higher inc households, but many lower ones have to reduce food & medicine to pay for energy

My wishes for all to have a #HappyEaster
May we also take the words of Pope Francis to heart in these challenging times

Thank you @SpectrumNews1TX and @DrNicoleCross for allowing me to share my journey with mental health! The more we talk about mental health, the closer we get to tackling it as a society.

I joined @HoustonOasis & SHORE in their Homeless Outreach action in Houston yesterday
They, and many other Houston area groups, regularly help the needy in their #communities
Elected officials need to follow their example

Bipartisan efforts to lower drug prices in the Senate & House need to prioritize legislation to end #BigPharma abuse of patent loopholes

Persistent wildfire smoke is eroding rural America’s mental health https://t.co/btoYBmwSCD

It's critical to elect #climate candidates like @CongressLaura in districts with #rural contituents

Good-quality, affordable health care shouldn’t depend on your zip code https://t.co/6XkVJEBnOB

Whether living in a #rural zip code, or a low income urban/suburban one, access to quality #healthcare should be a right, not a privilege

Dozens of assisted-living residents died after wandering away unnoticed https://t.co/qH5xCasCph

Unlike #NursingHomes, States, not federal govt, regulate assisted living facilities
Article reports the consequences of this reality

[Texas Democrats With Disabilities @TXDemsDisabled]

@CongressLaura @RepLuttrell @NCPSSM @AARPadvocates @MCDPTexas @harrisdemocrats @txruralvoices So many in our community rely on SSI & Medicaid/Medicare benefits. Cuts to these programs are not just going after Reagan’s made up “welfare queen”— they will absolutely harm the disabled community. Vote them out.

Powerful quake in Morocco kills more than 2,000 people and damages historic buildings in Marrakech https://t.co/7uxF5A9xKO

Climate crisis poses greatest risk to people with respiratory illnesses, experts warn https://t.co/IzUkNawDDu

#ClimateCrisis generating more #AirPollution isn't just a #health issue for EU, but for the US & the rest of the planet

Houston's warmest month records this Summer reinforces reality of a #ClimateCrisis
Texas politicians & corporations need more aggressive #ClimateAction policies to mitigate its #health & #economic impact

While #Harold is delivering much needed rainfall to #CorpusChristi & #RGV, it looks like #drought ravaged Houston metro will receive little, if any, rain

Planned Parenthood is the #healthcare provider for thousands of financially vulnerable Texans
Effort to bankrupt it is despicable
Quality healthcare is a Right, not a Privilege

Our streak of 100-degree continues, but there's at least a chance for rain next week https://t.co/SLGF9CtRSr

14 straight days of 100+ Houston temps with 10 more forecasted

Medical debt among seniors is soaring https://t.co/2QiMrVTATq

Billions in #medical debt among seniors is outrageous
#Healthcare should be a Right for all Americans, not a privilege

[Laura Jones TX8 D @CongressLaura]

Quality healthcare is not a privilege reserved for those of a certain financial status but rather a fundamental human right.

It’s time our representatives in Congress recognize that basic fact and take steps to fix our healthcare system: https://t.co/hPFvlRxzwm

[Laura Jones TX8 D @CongressLaura]

Voters hear members of Congress talk about #Border & #climate crises, but little about current #healthcare crisis which affects everyone; regardless of age, income, or party affiliation
