Elijah Cummings was one of the most powerful, beautiful & compelling voices in American politics. The power and the beauty came from his authenticity, his conviction, the sincerity with which he held his beliefs. We rarely agreed on political matters.
Big drug company Novartis PAID to DELAY the generic version of #Gleevec for 7 months, price-gouging patients & their insurers by forcing them to keep paying the $146K/yr brand name price. At that rate, 7 months would cost > $85K!
@AntonJGunn was the PERFECT closing speaker for our NASWSC Spring Symposium. A real social work hero calling out the power in each of us!!

So thrilled to award @MPowersNorrell as Outstanding Legislator of the Year from NASWSC. We love how you care about the clients social workers serve. We can’t wait to see what comes next for you!!!
@WhipClyburn So grateful to have you speak to SC social workers today! And you handled the heckler with poise and grace— a lesson for all of us! We are lucky to have you working for us.
NASWSC is so proud to have Congressman and Majority Whip Jim Clyburn open our conference. He was brilliant and insightful. So proud that he is from SC and looking out for us.
(He also managed a heckler with poise and concern) #jamesclyburn, #socialworkmonth
THREAD: Big drug companies want Floridians to be afraid of what could happen if the Florida Legislature passes a law (#HB19) that would allow Floridians access to FDA approved drugs wholesaled from Canada at much lower prices through local pharmacies. 1/ #FlLeg#FlPol
