In Tallahassee for #NASWFLLEAD18 with Social Work students from all over the state. I'll be meeting with my state senator @DSimmonsFL to encourage #MedicaidExpansion so that our state can take advantage of increased services it provides. I thank him for agreeing to meet with me.
@KipPiper Could you direct me to a place that would actually clearly lay out Florida’s criteria (diagnosis, marital status, financials, etc.) for disability connected Medicaid? #medicaid
.@GovRonDeSantis refuses to issue a statewide mask order as #COVID19 cases surge & asymptomatic young people are spreading the virus. He insists he ‘can’t control’ what young people do. Today, he signed a forced parental consent bill on abortions to CONTROL WHAT YOUNG PEOPLE DO.
just finally getting caught up on @patriotact and who did I see talking about legalized cannabis issues? This 👉 superhero @CarlosGSmith (ok, so it was a short clip, but it was fun to see lol)

NY has given $116 billion more to the federal government than we received since 2015.
Kentucky *took* $148 billion more from the federal government than it gave.
Just give NY our money back, Senator McConnell.
FEMA gave a $55,000,000 no-bid contract to a bankrupt company with no employees for N95 masks – which they don't make or have – at 7x the cost others charge.

This week alone, New York has lost more people than we did on 9/11.
I’ve been on the phone all week with sobbing nurses, health aides, warehouse & frontline workers.
COVID is a traumatic event. We must make serious investments for the mental healthcare of our frontline workers.
We’ve reached the point in season 4 where the whole country is buying stamps & postal vehicle toys from USPS to keep them from going bankrupt after Trump rejected a bailout despite widespread sentiment that voting by mail is the only way to hold secure elections during a pandemic
