Recovering HHS44 & Senate & campaign staffer, ❤️ health policy & Husker 🏈(#GBR 🌽) & a good sale. Views=mine.

This is how you know someone is really Midwestern lol. The “I got it on sale” in response to a compliment is hardwired.

Didn’t make the story, but when I complimented Sand on his Kuhl vest, he told me he acquired it at a discount on E-Bay.

What if the actually winnable Senate races in Iowa and Ohio got even 10% of the attention Texas is getting?

[Charlotte Alter @CharlotteAlter]

in the United States of America, we do not get executed for alleged felonies in the middle of the street without a trial.

@JackMitchellLNK As a Husker and former Millard North one act theater kid, I cannot tell you how seen I feel in this tweet 😂

[Catherine Rampell @crampell]

RIP U.S. innovation.
Between gutting the H-1B program, purging US scientists from civil service, slashing research grants, and disappearing international students off the streets, our government has made a conscious decision to kill America's role as a global leader in science and innovation.

This will be absolutely devastating in the medical field.

~30% residents are international medical graduates & ~10k of 43k residency spots are filled by docs with H1-B visas.

Previously the h-1B fee was <$5,000.

No hospital will pay a $100k fee for a $55k resident salary.

[Senator Megan Hunt @NebraskaMegan]

The University of Nebraska enforces its trademark all the time. Why not now? Using “Cornhusker” to brand an ICE detention camp is a disgrace. @UNLincoln should defend its name and denounce this shameful use.

[Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker]

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.

This is not a joke. This is not normal.

Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

[Bobby Kogan @BBKogan]

It just absolutely blows that RFK Jr. looked at this and said, no that’s not bad enough, we can do worse

[Benjy Sarlin @BenjySarlin]

Uh oh

[Tommy Vietor @TVietor08]

Loving all this personal freedom!

[Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker]

I am sounding the alarm on the real crisis we face today.

Donald Trump’s overreach is what our founders warned against – it is unprecedented, unwarranted, and un-American.

There’s no emergency here that calls for military intervention.

[Tom Steyer @TomSteyer]

America’s secret economic weapon has never been oil, tech, or cheap capital.

It’s the rule-of-law premium: the trust that here, contracts mean something, courts are impartial, and power has guardrails.

This administration is cashing it out.

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

The panic about tariffs has given way to cautious optimism. But Trumponomics 2.0 will erode the foundations of America’s prosperity https://t.co/d7Z1uq4Eca

Our new analysis just up at Health Affairs Forefront: we project administrative costs stemming from national Medicaid Work Requirements as in the "Big Beautiful Bill."

We estimate:

> $5 billion in new administrative costs, equal to

This comparsion in the NYTimes today is pretty stark. China is racing ahead to be a high-tech exporter of 21st century technologies, while the US is doubling down on being a petro-state exporting the technologies of the 19th century: https://t.co/70sBY8T441

They could have used this gimmick to extend the enhanced tax credits at "no cost" and prevent 4.2 million people from losing coverage

[Bobby Kogan @BBKogan]

The Senate bill would kick 11.8 million people off their health insurance by cutting health coverage over $1 trillion

[Adam Gaffney @awgaffney]

The reconciliation bill barreling forward in Congress towards Trump’s desk will inflict thousands of medically-preventable deaths annually to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy. This is a horrifying assault on the health, medical care, and lives of our lower-income patients.
