One year ago, I was undergoing surgery for #breastcancer. Today, with the help of my Livestrong Coach at the YMCA, I was able to do some arm press on a machine for the first time. I only did five, but it feels like a huge milestone! Yay me!! 🎉💪🩷

Portland Maine #NOKings rally! I’m fighting for #healthcare. I rely on the ACA and will lose coverage unless Congress DOES SOMETHING!!. As a 10-month cancer survivor—it’s my lifeline to continued care. I’m an American citizen, NOT a criminal, & NOT a terrori$t! Don’t believe the lies! CARE NOT CUTS‼️

Cancer didn’t beat me, but losing my health insurance might. 40 billions to Venezuela?!(who have free healthcare!), but cutting American ACA subsidies!! is WRONG!!!

To the Democratic Party: It hasn’t been a year since I started breast cancer treatments. I’m self-employed & on ACA. Without subsidies, my health insurance will be $1500 a month: a 650% hike! 😡 (with a $10,000 annual deductible!) Unaffordable, I will LOSE MY INSURANCE. FIGHT LIKE HELL.💪 #healthcare

I need to go lick my wounds. 🥹For the #fourthofJuly, I’m packing my bags and going to #Canada. Blessed w a dual citizenship allowing me to plug into sanity for a while and recharge my batteries. Back to fight later but now I need serious down time with my Canadian roots. 🇨🇦

I know it’s a small hope coming from this “concerned” senator, but if you’re in Maine, please flood Senator Susan Collins with emails and phone calls asking her to VOTE NO on this ugly Bill. One can hope…🤞 #maine

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
