@ProgressIowa @ChuckGrassley FYI - I'm an insulin dependent diabetic. Meds and supplies will cost me nearly $2000/month without insurance. More than I earn in a month.

[robin stone @robinstone12]

@ChuckGrassley you won’t have to worry about me bugging you about the ACA. I have Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer and will die soon. But there’s a whole army of activists picking up where I’m leaving off. You’re a coward

[robin stone @robinstone12]

@BernieSanders Bernie. Thank you for posting this. It’s the best way to get me join the conversation in real time. I can speak personally, not just for myself but for the Americans who are forced to be sick under an immoral and broken system. I’m so grateful for your support.

[robin stone @robinstone12]

@jason_reejer @BernieSanders Medicare is a well run program and Bernie’s plan to phase it in makes sense. Making a profit off of illness is wrong. That’s the reason for denial of coverage. The system is broken.

[robin stone @robinstone12]

@jason_reejer @BernieSanders Private health insurance is tied to profit. Their purpose is to make money. You love it until you get sick like me and watch the copays start to add you. And med copays. Before I got cancer they were $500 half of one paycheck. I’m a bleeding heart who works in human services.

Please don’t tell me how wonderful private, employer based insurance is. It’s only wonderful until you get really sick or lose your job. https://t.co/MfwtgpqZYJ

@realDonaldTrump Resign. Enough of your White Nationalist garbage.

Joe Biden repeats one of President Obama's biggest lies. "If you like your insurance plan, you can keep it."

[robin stone @robinstone12]

Imagine the hypocrisy!

[Rep. Eric Swalwell @RepSwalwell]

I quoted @realDonaldTrump calling African countries “shithole countries” on the @housefloor. @RepDougCollins formally objected to the Parliamentarian that saying “shithole” is vulgar. He’s right. So why won’t he & @housegop object to Trump saying it?

[robin stone @robinstone12]

@VP @CBP @HHSGov And you are either an idiot or blind. Maybe both.

[robin stone @robinstone12]

@realDonaldTrump You, sir, act like a third grade bully. You have no right to criticize anyone else.

@SenJoniErnst @ChuckGrassley @usedgov If you care so much about children, how about taking a stand against the Children’s Detention centers at the border. Your silence makes you complicit.

[robin stone @robinstone12]

We now have officially sanctioned concentration camps at the border. We’re caging children in filthy conditions. This is a crime against humanity. Where is the outrage??

[robin stone @robinstone12]

@ChuckGrassley You blew off my question re your votes against the ACA. Please don’t tap dance around this one. What do you have to say about the Children’s Concentration Camps at the border? Surely you have some thread of decency left. Prove it. Denounce what’s happening.

@realDonaldTrump So what was the sermon about this morning? Did the preacher read from Two Corinthians?

[Mikel Jollett @Mikel_Jollett]

Elizabeth Warren is good at running for President because she takes nothing for granted and assumes she has to earn every vote.

It’s actually quite astonishing in the modern world to simply watch someone work so hard.

[robin stone @robinstone12]

Why don’t we remind the Senator from Iowa that voting 7 times to repeal the ACA isn’t “doing his job” for the people he was elected to represent.

[Chuck Grassley @ChuckGrassley]

Congrats 2 Sen Susan Collins of Maine 4casting her 7000th consecutive vote in the US Senate She’s never missed votes as a senator Not missing votes is a way 2show the ppl u represent that you’re on the job That’s why I’ve cast 8447 consecutive votes w/out missing in 26 yrs
