Today, the Supreme Court not only reversed nearly 50 years of precedent, it relegated the most intensely personal decision someone can make to the whims of politicians and ideologues—attacking the essential freedoms of millions of Americans.

In a win for public health, CMS has finalized their decision to limit coverage of Aduhelm to clinical trials. Thank you @CMSGov for ensuring safety for the Medicare population. #TeamCMS

I’ve seen healthcare workers writing abt how it feels to sound the alarm & the public not listen but I hadn’t seen a piece abt how it feels to have your own family & friends not listen so, from a scientist’s perspective, I wrote that piece. #COVID19

We may be opponents — but we are not enemies.

We are Americans.

It is long past time to reform a system that has been broken for far too long and cost far too many lives.

[Bob Casey @SenBobCasey]

Please take a moment to think about the family of Walter Wallace Jr. today. On Thursday, bodycam footage was released showing his last moments. His life mattered. His death is a tragedy and another failure of our systems of policing and criminal justice.

Remember: A record number of Americans are voting by mail this year, and counting those votes will take time.

We need to be patient, stay strong, and #CountEveryVote.

No matter what Donald Trump says tonight.
