Her feed is filled with useful information and interviews with leading academics and health professionals.

“I did the math: a full battery of coronavirus testing costs at minimum $1,331.” she wrote in a post. “I also did the legal research: the Administration has the authority to make testing free for every American TODAY. I secured a commitment from a high-level Trump official that they’d actually do it.”
