Great meeting w/@repaprildelaney.bsky.social to discuss Alzheimer's-- bills to require Medicare to cover Alzheimer's blood tests (H.R. 6130), to educate clinicians on Alzheimer's (H.R. 3747), & for a tax credit for caregivers (H.R. 2036). Looking forward to working w/her on these bills. #endalz
Crucial Alzheimer's research from @washumedadrc.bsky.social. I'm so proud that @alzassociation.bsky.social was a funder for this research. One of the most vexing questions about Alzheimer's is its progression. Predicting the progression goes hand-in-hand w/the timing of treatments. #endalz
Advocacy always feels good. Today, I testified yet again to the DC Council Health Committee, this time pushing for a law to require DC clinicians to get training on the new developments re Alzheimer's. So necessary to get early detection, so DC residents can get treatments. More to come. #endalz
I will be testifying yet again to the DC Council Health Committee on Alzheimer's. This time, my focus will be on improving the training of DC healthcare providers so they are aware of recent developments & can make an early diagnosis in time to provide treatment options. #endalz
My wife and I, along with many members of our temple, Temple Micah in DC, were very proud to join this protest. We stood up to Pharaoh, & we are standing up to Trump.
Thanks so much @kim.senate.gov for continuing to speak out about how hard, how expensive, & how all consuming it is to take care of someone w/Alzheimer's. You are one of us, you are not alone. #endalz
Very disturbing that the NIH Director is making false statements to the Senate & will not simply rule out terminating clinical trials in the future. Come on.
Outrageous that the NIH Director is turning our nation's medical research agency into an arm of the ultra right wing political movement. The Alzheimer's community counts on NIH to lead the world in finding a cure, but his stated goal is to drive ultra right wing science denial. So bad. #endalz
Pure corruption at its worst. The nursing home staffing rule would have saved an estimated 13,000 lives per year & improved care for so many more, including many w/Alzheimer's or other dementia. Bribing Trump to repeal this rule- horrible.

60 Minutes always had celebrity profiles- Morley Safer's profile of Jackie Gleason was one of the best segments ever. But never has 60 Minutes had an all-celebrity episode like last night.
Son of a lifelong CBS executive here. My Dad worked on 60 Minutes for years. The destruction of CBS News by Bari Weiss to advance Trump's fascist agenda is horrible.
This doesn't count the number of people who had to switch to a bronze plan- with a vastly higher deductible. Absolutely terrible.
It's hard to fathom all the outrages we are living through, but the one below stands out- so far, 1.5 million people have lost their health insurance due to Trump's initiative to destroy the ACA. And, that number is going to grow once people have to start making payments at the exorbitant prices.
Son of a lifelong CBS executive here. My Dad kept a picture of Murrow in his office & worked with Cronkite for years. I have no words for how terrible this destruction of CBS News is.
Son of a lifelong CBS executive here. My dad spent 27 years getting CBS News on the air first w/every big story. He worked on 60 Minutes from its inception. Spiking a story would have been anathema to him.
One more time- Go Go Go @kim.senate.gov! It's vital that the FCC Chair & Commissioners follow their oath to the Constitution, not the whims of this President or any President.
Go Go Go @kim.senate.gov! Absolutely crucial points that he made about why the FCC needs to be independent of this President and any President.
Just left the Senate Floor after hearing @kim.senate.gov’s maiden speech. It takes real courage to speak openly about your family’s health challenges. His story of becoming a caregiver resonates with so many Americans. His voice will help these families feel seen.
So proud of @kim.senate.gov for speaking out about Alzheimer's and caregiving. Exactly, it shouldn't be this hard. When my wife & I were knocking on doors for Andy in NJ in November 2018, we knew he was special. Thank you so much @kim.senate.gov. You are one of us. #endalz
Thank you so much @kim.senate.gov for having the courage to tell your and your father's Alzheimer's journey. You are not alone- you are part of our community of millions of people dealing with the devastating impact of Alzheimer's. #endalz
The kind of personal news one hopes to not have to share

I'm honored to have President @barackobama.bsky.social on Team Mikie.
This movement is about delivering something better for New Jersey — lower costs, more opportunity for our kids, and a government that's truly accountable to the people.
Jack is unraveling, and it’s no secret why: he’s 25 days away from becoming a three-time loser.
Just 30 seconds of Jack saying that Donald Trump is right about EVERYTHING he's doing.
Son of a life-long CBS executive here. My Dad worked with Cronkite & kept a picture of Murrow in his office. This is sickening.
These are disqualifying comments from the NJ GOP candidate for Governor. The Gateway Tunnel is immensely important to NJ, and Trump's actions to stop its funding are unlawful, outrageous, and do terrible damage to NJ.
Absolutely unacceptable. I worked on this program for two decades. Pilot projects proved that giving kids internet access away from school grounds vastly improves their education.
New taxes are on the table under a Jack administration.
But don't take my word for it — just listen to what Jack and his running mate have to say.
Lawfully funding the Gateway Tunnel, led by @mikiesherrill.bsky.social to improve commuting for New Jerseyans, is not giving "certain things to certain constituencies." It's called following the law & it's imperative to elect @mikiesherrill.bsky.social to defeat this un-American lawlessness.
Outrageous, unlawful, & another reason to support @mikiesherrill.bsky.social over a Trump clone.
