Voted early today! 🗳️ It took almost 90 minutes because the line was out the door & down the street: 1) Never seen turnout like this for a midterm. Voters are engaged. 2) Sadly, I saw many people look at the line and leave. A functional democracy makes voting easier. 😞

🚨 Florida reports 425 dengue cases in 2026, the largest continental U.S. outbreak since 1935! Nearly 1/2 of cases were hospitalized. With dengue-carrying mosquitoes widespread and no U.S.-licensed vaccine, experts expect dengue to take hold permanently.

Studies show voting is linked to better health and longevity - even after controlling for prior health, income, and other factors. Efforts that discourage or disenfranchise people from voting (even unintentionally) can thus undermine the nation’s health.
