Awesome! Goes to show what an impact a loving support system and access to quality, high cost health care can do! For too many our healthcare system falls short, and they succumb far too soon

My constituent Brian Wallach has been fighting ALS for 8 years, alongside his wife Sandra and two daughters. They hope that a breakthrough in ALS will give Brian a chance for a future with his family. By firing researchers and cutting ALS funding, RFK Jr. and the Trump Admin are taking away that hope.

This means creating unprecedented, tangible progress and newfound hope that today’s patients will be the first generation to survive long term. Hope you take the time to watch the film—it’s compelling. (Thinking of you Peter C, Sheryl L, Harvey G, and Mike V)

Brian and Sandra are the epitome of hope. When Brian was diagnosed with ALS, he turned tragedy into action by launching I AM ALS and leading a movement to find a cure. I’m inspired by these two—and after you hear their story at the 2024 Democratic National Convention, you will be, too.

I was so sad to hear about Eric Dane's passing after he battled ALS and am sending my love to his family, especially his two daughters Billie and Georgia. I loved seeing this clip of us together on Saved By The Bell at a time when we were so young, I was about to turn 21 and he was 19.

Homeless for 26 years with no interest in leaving the streets. He has been fed, clothed and given supplies thousands of times. He has been given hundreds of tents and tarps. This is textbook enabling. I ask any social service provider to justify this. How is he being helped?
