Older adults’ prescription #drugs often go unused, and end up tossed directly in the garbage, flushed down the drain or sitting around in the medicine chest. Better information and access to safe disposal options are needed. https://t.co/EFw8mPVfuT

So proud to have worked on this project with @SPGlobal and @AARP's Alessandra Raimondi!

#Medicare coverage of #homecare would be a game changer for the millions of families who are caring for older loved ones with few options or support. Let’s address & invest in aging well for all. https://t.co/uDK7bm2QzS

The foundation of Trump's campaign, that the economy is down and crime is up, is 100% false. The opposite is true. And add to that "drill, baby, drill"—only under Biden has the US become a net exporter of oil and gas. Under Trump we were still a net importer. Facts matter.

Sixty percent of #FamilyCaregivers juggle work and care. Career disruptions and breaks due to caregiving can lead to substantial economic risk and even long-term financial struggles. #Unpaid #Caregiving #LTSS https://t.co/m2qsPOYNg9
