@dominictiano Best wishes for continued good news!
(But be aware that just because it’s not an in-person hearing, doesn’t mean they can’t “suspend” you.)
As someone gravely ill with a brutal #cancer I want to say this to my fellow Americans: You only have one life. I urge you to spend it loving and caring, not hating and filled with grievance. Every day we have the chance to start over, to be better, to lift others up. Do that.
.@KamalaHarris and I both lost a parent to cancer.
It's the kind of loss that changes your life forever. There's the time before the cancer – and the time afterward.
Grief is already painful enough. Families shouldn't have to suffer financially on top of it all. My mom had to go back to work for a decade to pay off the hospital debt from the last week of my dad's life.
Every family deserves affordable health care. They deserve paid family and medical leave so they can care for their loved ones. And Medicare should cover in-home health care, so our loved ones get the care they deserve.
This fight is personal to us. And we will never stop fighting for families like ours.

My mother was diagnosed with cancer when I was the district attorney of San Francisco. I remember cooking meals for her and taking her to her appointments. I did what I could to make her comfortable. I figured out which clothes were soft enough that they wouldn't irritate her, and told her stories to try and make her laugh.
Caregiving is about dignity—not just for the patient, but also for the caregiver. We must lower the costs and ease the burdens faced by our caregivers to make it easier for them to provide care, while pursuing their aspirations.
Today, I am announcing a new historic Medicare at Home benefit as part of my plan to help families with caregiving needs and strengthen Medicare for the long-term. Over 67 million people are covered by Medicare, yet many Americans don’t realize that Medicare does not cover long-term services and assistance like home health aides.
As a result, many American families face challenging and sometimes impossible choices.
My plan will strengthen Medicare to cover home care services and support for seniors. This will include providing care workers with better wages, improving the quality of care for seniors and those with disabilities, and treating our seniors with the dignity they deserve.
My dad died after a long battle with lung cancer. Anyone who's cared for a loved one knows — it takes a toll.
Caregiving is already stressful enough. It shouldn't be this damn expensive.
@KamalaHarris and I have a plan: Let’s strengthen Medicare to cover home care.
You know when women didn't have to worry about the right to have an abortion? When their control over their reproductive choices was protected by the Constitution. Trump took that away from them.
When you send your kids to school there is zero chance they will come back to you "a different gender," but there is certainly a chance they won't come back at all. Yet some of y'all are worried about the former while shrugging about the latter.
