40% of low-to-moderate income households in Texas find their energy bills unaffordable, report finds houstonchronicle.com/busines… @houstonchron
Unacceptable - TX costs are 1% of income for higher inc households, but many lower ones have to reduce food & medicine to pay for energy

Thank you @SpectrumNews1TX and @DrNicoleCross for allowing me to share my journey with mental health! The more we talk about mental health, the closer we get to tackling it as a society.

I joined @HoustonOasis & SHORE in their Homeless Outreach action in Houston yesterday
They, and many other Houston area groups, regularly help the needy in their #communities
Elected officials need to follow their example

Bipartisan efforts to lower drug prices in the Senate & House need to prioritize legislation to end #BigPharma abuse of patent loopholes

Medications including Keytruda/Enbrel/Humira & Trulicity keep Texans alive/improve lives. "That should continue & the innovators who created these life-changing meds should profit — for the 20 yrs the patent system intends." - @PatriciaKelmar (@uspirg) houstonchronicle.com/opinion…

Good-quality, affordable health care shouldn’t depend on your zip code thehill.com/opinion/congress…
Whether living in a #rural zip code, or a low income urban/suburban one, access to quality #healthcare should be a right, not a privilege

Dozens of assisted-living residents died after wandering away unnoticed wapo.st/3TtuwVn
Unlike #NursingHomes, States, not federal govt, regulate assisted living facilities
Article reports the consequences of this reality

So many in our community rely on SSI & Medicaid/Medicare benefits. Cuts to these programs are not just going after Reagan’s made up “welfare queen”— they will absolutely harm the disabled community. Vote them out.

While #Harold is delivering much needed rainfall to #CorpusChristi & #RGV, it looks like #drought ravaged Houston metro will receive little, if any, rain
@MCDPTexas @harrisdemocrats @AliefDemocrats @CypressTomball @MeyerDems
#Harold is drenching Corpus Christi and southern Texas right now. Tropical storm conditions are likely to continue for the next few hours.

Quality healthcare is not a privilege reserved for those of a certain financial status but rather a fundamental human right.
It’s time our representatives in Congress recognize that basic fact and take steps to fix our healthcare system: secure.actblue.com/donate/he…

Voters hear members of Congress talk about #Border & #climate crises, but little about current #healthcare crisis which affects everyone; regardless of age, income, or party affiliation

Brace yourselves, health insurance premiums are set to jump next year. But that doesn't mean the quality of care will be any better: houstonchronicle.com/busines… #txlege
