As soon as one cancer survivor spoke, I knew I had to meet and offer to work with her. I've survived cancer four times, but I still remember the first time I heard it apply to me. I was just 44 years old. I had an excellent job with a major corporation. And with three children in their late teens and early 20s, I had a busy, happy life.

One of the worst things about it is the loneliness. It was 2018, and I was 26 years old at the time. For years, doctors had been trying to get to the bottom of some breathing issues I had. I’d already been administered every allergy test available, and I underwent a sinus surgery to improve airflow through my nasal passage. But still, I was prone to getting bronchitis, having shortness of breath, and, even with daily physical exercise, I had the lung capacity of someone double my age. My primary doctor finally decided to set me up for a chest X-ray.

My health care team was monitoring me for cancer due to a BRCA mutation. When a hysterectomy got delayed for various reasons, I ended up with ovarian cancer. Before I share my story, I must first share the story of my mother. At the young age of 30, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Surgery and treatment were successful, and she was in remission for 26 years. Then it came back in the other breast, and again she had surgery and treatment and was again in remission. Then in 2018 during a routine colonoscopy, she found out she had colon cancer. She underwent surgery and treatment and beat cancer for a third time. I am so thankful she is here with us today.

Conservatives have done the United States a huge favor by explaining in detail what they’ll try to do if Donald Trump is reelected. Project 2025 , a “presidential transition project” of the Heritage Foundation, helpfully lays out how a group of former Trump officials would like to transform the country into a right-wing dystopia where the rich thrive and the rest of us die aspiring to be rich.

Project 2025’s Plan to Gut Medicare and Medicaid

“[I]nvoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God,” the Constitution of the Confederate States of America composed by southern slaveholders in 1861 sought to “establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” The authors of Project 2025, the latest playbook for restructuring the federal government in order to accomplish the policy goals of Christian Nationalists, similarly declare their manifesto will “decide America’s future” by securing their “God-given individual rights to live freely” and exercise dominion over others.
