Friend --

Many have asked me about my reaction to Rush Limbaugh receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom at the State of the Union, so I wrote a piece for Voices for Progress in USA TODAY to answer that question. In short:

Rush Limbaugh doesn’t deserve to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom and Donald Trump doesn’t deserve to be able to give it.

Whether it was against me in 2012 or at the State of the Union in 2020, both have used lies and hateful rhetoric in their effort to deny Americans affordable access to comprehensive healthcare.

I hope Mr. Limbaugh gets the health care he needs and Democrats take back the White House and Senate so all Americans can get the health care they need. Click here to read more: http://ow.ly/CkL250yhLDj

As I discussed in my oped, it’s important we do everything we can to take back the Senate, which is why in my non-Voices For Progress capacity, I’m proud to join the host committee for Team T.O. Resist and Rise’s Making Waves for Democracy Fundraiser for Mark Kelly with special guest Gabby Giffords & more in Santa Monica on March 22nd. Mark’s campaign for Arizona senate is one of the key 2020 races which is why I hope you’ll join the event in support or donate if you’re unable to make it.
