It costs ~$70 to produce a year’s supply of insulin. Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $12,000 in 2022.

That’s a 17,142% markup.😳 That isn’t inflation. It isn’t supply chain issues. It is 100% corporate greed.

@coryzapatka @Jandelliott @Icelandair I'm sorry you had to buy insulin here. For future travel, keeping your insulin with you also protects it from temperature extremes for checked bags that can ruin insulin.

@KimberlyMunson5 This only shows correlation, but it is enough to make me take a closer look. https://t.co/NGE1K6KFzM.

I just want to note the Democratic chair of the committee just gracefully, and with full confidence, turned over the running of tonight’s hearing to the vice-chair, who happens to be of another party, and they spoke with mutual trust and respect. That’s how it’s supposed to go.

@KimberlyMunson5 Which study is that? I've been reading about possible Alzheimer's links.

“We should measure the prosperity of a nation not by the number of millionaires, but by the absence of poverty, the prevalence of health, the efficiency of the public schools, and the number of people who can [and] do read worthwhile books.”

Proud to sign into law the first-in-the-nation Healthy Start Act, allowing incarcerated mothers to stay with their newborn children.

This bill was the result of close collaboration and partnership with advocates and mothers who fought tirelessly for the wellbeing of their kids.

Minnesota's health insurance marketplace, @MNsure, will open for a special enrollment period, 2/16-5/17. Through the pandemic and beyond, it's important for everyone to have health insurance, including those who haven't previously had insurance or were covered outside of MN.

If America's future looks like Amanda Gorman, I'll feel pretty good about it.

@mosugs @PatinkinMandy @WisDems Yes!

@Lija27 Wow!😂

So angry! 😠😠😠 Hours before the Alec Smith Insulin Affordability Act was set to take effect today, PhRMA filed a federal lawsuit to stop this life-saving law. #insulin4all #mninsulin4all https://t.co/K2Tg35sCRw

Since apparently "because Bob the Tomato said so" isn't good enough for some people, even though Bob is a tomato of exemplary moral character, here, as requested, is a full transcript of my racism video - with citations.

Why are many white, conservative Christians calling for racial justice? Didn't we end discrimination years ago? This week I produced a video that packs 100 years of racial history into 17 minutes. I hope it helps make sense of all this! https://t.co/G4Wa9RuxAS via @YouTube

What I’m trying to say to you is this: be brave. This is about human decency. Dignity. Fairness. Rightness. JUSTICE. Toughen up and accept you’re going to be disliked for something. Make it something that counts. Let’s be the generation the intimidators can’t silence or tire out.

Dear God in heaven.

George Floyd.

I have no fitting words but grief and such deep sorrow for the horrors African Americans continue to endure.

[Attorney General Keith Ellison @AGEllison]

George Floyd mattered. Somebody loved him. His life had value. He lost it yesterday in a way that raises pain and trauma once again for so many. We owe it to everyone affected to investigate thoroughly. We will seek justice and we will find it.

[Lija, the j is silent @Lija27]

Gross. Maybe we should be wearing masks all the time?
