Glad this is on Marc Elias’s radar. #HoosierSky

USAID uses their money to buy crops from U.S. farmers and send them to kids around the world who need food. Musk uses his money to buy ads during the Superbowl to spread anti-public health propaganda.

Hey @goodtroublein.bsky.social how does this effect medical research and medical care in Indiana? Can someone help with talking points for contacting our reps? Maybe examples, like current cancer research, impact on Riley? #HoosierSky

Today, the Senate Elections Committee disenfranchised the nearly 400,000 Hoosier voters who voted more than 14 days before the general election last year by passing SB 284 6–3.

From the Chicago Sun-Times, "The state of Illinois was shut out of Medicaid on Tuesday morning, according to Gov. JB. Pritzker's office" due to Trump's order last night to freeze federal grants. Any word from Gov. Braun or FSSA head Mitch Roob? #HoosierSky

FSSA chief: check Medicaid eligibility every 1/4 instead of every year. "Advocates warn this move could create a heavier administrative burden on the state, which could end up increasing costs in the long run." What of *personal* burden? #HoosierSky www.lakeshorepublicmedia.org/2025-01-16/b...

Note to folks w/ disabilities: the DoJ OCR handles ADA complaints. Both WaPo & Forbes are reporting this new story. "The Justice Department has ordered its civil rights division to halt all ongoing litigation... and not pursue new cases or settlements." 1/2 www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Thinking of my friends battling cancer, living with transplanted organ or are immunocompromised. #hoosiersky

Gov. Mike Braun’s administration has made it an immediate goal to get people off Medicaid “We will further constrain Medicaid eligibility across all the different categories of eligibility,” Roob said. #HoosierSky www.wishtv.com/news/i-team-...

Any diabetics that use Dexcom CGM and were affected by the California fires: Dexcom posted this on their IG story.

My retirement job is going to be working for a large insurance company and approving every claim until they fire me.

Medicaid messaging preview for BlueSky thought-leaders: MAGA is coming for Medicaid. They're using the language of policy wonks (e.g. "per capita caps") to hide what they're intending to do: cut Medicaid. Call them cuts. Clarity matters.

INSULIN NEEDED - if anyone can spare insulin, especially the more shelf-stable pens, please bring them to: Bernie's Coffee Shop 6101 Wilshire Blvd before 6pm today

Galen Buckwalter, 68, shared with me his harrowing tale of being forced to flee the Eaton fire alone on his wheelchair through dark streets and fierce winds, dodging debris as fire neared his home. “In emergencies, disabled people are the last to get services…We have no system. You’re on your own”

Bloomberg: "Trump took aim at Denmark at a wide-ranging press conference, threatening the country with high tariffs as part of his push to bring Greenland under US control." Danish company Novo Nordisk make 1/2 the insulin used in the world, including my daughter's. This "nonsense" has consequences.

Cooper: Should President Biden issue pardons for the January 6 committee members including yourself? Kinzinger: No. I don't want it.. the second you take a pardon it looks like you are guilty of something and I am guilty of nothing except bringing the truth
