Wishing everyone a happy Fourth of July! 249 years since we declared independence from a king, the work of living up to our founding promise is more important than ever - and it calls on each of us to do what we can for our country.

Essentially 100% of patients I see for substance use are on Medicaid (or uninsured & working to get on Medicaid). Most cannot afford their lifesaving medications without coverage & I’ve seen devastating results from coverage lapses in the past. This bill’s new “requirements” are going to kill people

About 70% of Americans approve of same-sex marriages. Despite this, Republican lawmakers in 5 states introduced symbolic bills calling on the Supreme Court to overturn its 2015 ruling legalizing same-sex marriage. A scholar explains: buff.ly/q76uFwD Paul M. Collins Jr. @umassamherst.bsky.social

Same-sex marriage is under attack by state lawmakers, emboldened by Trump’s anti-LGBTQ+ measures and the Supreme Court’s willingness to overturn precedent
President Donald Trump’s second term and the Supreme Court’s conservative activism have lit a fire in Republicans, who are targeting same-sex marriage as part of a broader attack on LGBTQ+ rights.
