CMS is ending the Medicare Part D Premium Stabilization Demonstration on December 31. The program paid a monthly subsidy toward standalone drug plan premiums, $15 per member in 2025 and $10 in 2026, and capped how far those premiums could rise year over year. Without it, the increases land in 2027 plan pricing.
National Campaign for Justice has a letter to Congress asking them to preserve it.

🧓 This type of wilful negligence occurs more often than you realize.
Imagine how it would feel if over a 5 hour period you were slowly dying in terrible pain from 2 fractured hips while in the "care" of a long term home

@ErikaSumner Hello, interesting. Just to be sure to understand : #seniors, #POCs, #students do not have birth certificates/passports? What is POCs?
Best -
EVERYONE, no matter your political ideology, should be freaking out about widespread #elections interference THIS YEAR. Not the made up scourge of non-citizens voting, but the #voterID #SAVEAmericaAct which would require a birth certificate/passport to vote. It will disenfranchise millions of eligible citizens, especially #seniors, #POCs, #students & low‑income voters, deepening turnout gaps & #votersuppression. If passed it goes into effect immediately. #Democracy #news

How pets healed us this year – The Washington Post
In Your Own WordsEach week, we highlight a comment from our readers. This week, my favorite comment was on a story I wrote about how pets healed us this year.
“ My beautiful mom and greyhound died last year 3 weeks apart in the fall, both tragically and unexpectedly. This past July, I adopted a 6 month old pup from a local shelter. She returned pure joy to my broken heart. Her shelter name was Poppy. I thought about changing it then looked it up. It means “remembrance.” She is so smart, so affectionate, so playful. I like to think that my mom and grey had a hand and paw in the two of us coming into each other’s lives. – TarheelHeart – https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2025/12/26/pets-healed-us- 2025/?commentID=69da2a76-3def-483b-94d9- 90793784b4e3&utm_campaign=comment-share&utm_medium=soc- share&utm_source=link-share Kynlee Rogers, 10, with her dog, Tennessee. Both Kynlee and Tennessee were born with a cleft lip. (Kimberly Rogers)How pets healed us this year
They give our lives deeper meaning and make us laugh. Here’s how pets helped get us through 2025.
By Sydney Page
If you have a pet, you know their healing properties. If you don’t, there’s well-documented science to back it up. Even just a few minutes with a dog or cat can make someone happier and less stressed.
So with that in mind, here are some animals that boosted our mood this year, made us laugh and feel less lonely, and even saved some lives. Basically, they helped us get through 2025.
They improved our mental health
Norm Feigenbaum, a 93-year-old Los Angeles man, described his yellow Lab, Sunny, as his best friend. When Sunny went missing for nearly two weeks, Norm felt anxious, had sleepless nights and said he felt a profound sense of emptiness. Volunteers worked tirelessly to reunite them, and when they did, Norm’s emotional state steadied.
“Without her, there’s nothing,” Norm said.

“Tennee is just like her,” said Kynlee’s mother, Kimberly Rogers, adding that they happen to share the same birthday, June 4. “It just gives her something she can relate to. She’s not alone.”
They gave us many laughs
Some pets have big personalities. Ray Ray, a mischievous house cat from Pennsylvania, turned a family road trip into an adventure when he hitched a 100-mile ride on the roof of his family’s van before anyone noticed he was there. He ended up getting a New York City vacation out of it, though his family toted him around in a cat backpack and on a leash for safety.

Lamps, reading glasses, picture frames, purses, even plates — nothing is safe. Duke parades his treasures around proudly in his mouth, before guarding the items on his bed. He keeps his owner — and thousands of followers — amused with his mischief every day.

Faygo, a friendly goldendoodle from Virginia, was diagnosed with terminal cancer earlier this year. Knowing how much Faygo loved getting attention from people, his owners asked neighbors to stop by and give Faygo a pet. Dozens of people visited to offer Faygo comfort, treats and affection in his final days. Through Faygo, a community came together for a dog they barely knew.
Neighbor Matt Busby brought Faygo a ball, and they played with it in the yard. (Michelle Martin)They saved people
Dogs have been known to alert people to perilous situations and even detect health issues or medical emergencies. Earlier this year, a shelter dog at an adoption event alerted a man that he was about to have a seizure, prompting his wife to take her husband home and give him his meds. She said the pooch’s instinct helped her husband avoid a dangerous seizure.
Another standout pooch this year is Freyja, a certified search-and-rescue dog in New Hampshire. When a 2-year-old girl went missing in the woods, Freyja and her handler spent nearly five hours navigating the dense, cold forest. Using her keen senses, Freyja tracked down the child, who was returned to her parents. Authorities noted that without Freyja’s tracking skills, the outcome could have been very different.
Jeremy Corson’s dog Freyja found a missing toddler who had been lost in the woods for hours. (Jeremy Corson)They helped us live with purpose
Beef, an English bulldog recovering from pneumonia, helped his owner’s father, Manny Miranda, stay motivated to exercise. Their slow, short daily walks became a shared fitness journey, and beloved on social media.
Beef stopped going on many walks after a bout of pneumonia. But it turned out he was willing to get moving if Manny, 78, was with him. (America Miranda)Courtney Proctor Cross transformed a struggling West Virginia animal shelter that was euthanizing most of its animals into a nationally recognized no-kill shelter.

#Aging #Seniors #100YearsOld #Centenarians
I hope that I'm in as good shape physically & mentally as DVD when I hit 100. 🙏
That's not just a pipedream for me because my mother was 101 when she passed but she was a total wreck at that age both physically & mentally. It was hard to watch her deteriorate in that way & I definitely don't want to go out like that!🤦
Well, I've got another 25 yrs to find out how that turns out. 🤔

#VisuallyImpaired #voters sue #NewHampshire over changes to #Absentee #BallotAccess
The plaintiffs say the new law will deter some voters with #disabilities from participating in the democratic process at all, even after they have registered to voteBy Steven Porter Globe Staff, Updated August 21, 2025, 9:30 a.m.
"Three people with visual impairments are suing New Hampshire officials to challenge the constitutionality of a law that will soon tighten #PhotoID requirements for voters seeking an #AbsenteeBallot.
"The plaintiffs — Adele Robertson of #ExeterNH, Daniel Frye of #ConcordNH, and Regina Wilson of #BrentwoodNH — allege the new law, known as #SenateBill287, will impose a significant burden on every #AbsenteeVoter statewide.
" 'And, in some cases, these burdens will entirely prevent voters from exercising their #RightToVote,' their lawsuit states.
Under the new rules imposed by #SB287, voters will be required to either bring a photo ID to their local election officials to request an absentee ballot in person, or submit a copy of their ID or a notarized signature along with their application.
While proponents said the legislation will better protect election integrity, critics said the changes will add barriers that disproportionately impact #seniors, voters with #disabilities, and those living in #rural parts of the state."Read more:
