We have a visa for seasonal crab pickers but we don't have one for the people who care for our parents.
Care is the fastest growing job in America. But there's still no real way in.
Why, and what actually works, in my latest on LinkedIn 👇

If you’re not for a public or single-payer option in healthcare: are you planning to decline Medicare when you turn 65?
Trying to understand where the line for health coverage actually is: the concept, or who gets access to it?

It was inspiring to see how deeply US Senator Tim Kaine cares about the welfare of Virginia’s seniors: listening to their stories, asking thoughtful questions, and reaffirming his commitment to ensuring every older Virginian can age with dignity and access to quality care.

We don’t have a left vs. right problem in healthcare, we have a cost and accountability problem. Virginia can lead by fixing the system instead of fighting over it.

Medicaid isn't a handout, it's an investment that gives families a shot to thrive. As Virginia faces cuts, work requirements & higher eligibility thresholds, we can lead with smarter solutions. Let’s invest in people, not pull the rug out.

Trump seizing DC’s police isn’t “law & order.” It’s authoritarianism in plain sight. If he can do it in DC, he can do it anywhere. The only firewall we have is us. Vote midterms. Vote local. Vote state. Every ballot is a brick in the wall against tyranny.

Trump’s blowing up the federal government. But what if we used the same tools to actually help people?
✅️ Universal healthcare
✅️ A real living wage
✅️ Affordable care for our kids and parents.
Out of the ashes, we don’t rebuild, let's RE-IMAGINE.

Enough defense. Democrats need offense. California’s fight is the blueprint: meet fire with fire, and show voters there is a plan.

DC’s police just got taken over. The National Guard is on its streets. And the Mayor? Legally powerless. If they can do it here, they can do it anywhere.

Trump just fired the nation’s top labor economist for telling the truth. I spent 4 years at the World Bank. When leaders start firing the data people, democracy is in danger. Here's why this matters more than you think.

Today, student loans are racking up interest again, including mine. Trump just killed the most affordable repayment plan. Meanwhile, Australia canceled $10B in student debt on Day 1.
We can do the same for working class families.

We’ve seen what 6 months of Trump can do. Now imagine what a bold Democrat could do, with the same powers, but a different purpose.
Fire the cronies. Fund care. Deliver a real living wage. No more excuses.

The humanitarian situation in Gaza is unconscionable.
I’ve repeatedly spoken up to support more humanitarian aid, and today I’m calling on the Trump administration to press Netanyahu for immediate change.
