I have a PhD in microbiology and teach it at the college-level. In the classroom, I teach about the scientific method and how important it is to follow the evidence. In Congress, I’ll fight to protect scientific research, defend public health, and make sure facts—not politics—guide our decisions.

Senate Republicans voted this afternoon to begin debate on the ICE funding bill, which means a final vote could happen as soon as tomorrow. If you’ve got a GOP senator, they need to hear from you — send an email and demand Republicans vote NO on shoveling $70 billion more to Trump’s secret police.

UPDATE: The GOP reconciliation bill (with $70 billion for ICE and Border Patrol) has just been updated with a new $350 million slush fund for the regime to unleash Minneapolis-like violence on "uncooperative" cities. A final vote is expected within days, so call Congress NOW to oppose this bill.

Hope all #chronicillness patients will join me in supporting this @standupforscience.net comment drive to keep politics out of scientific research. For so many of us, lifesaving cures and medicines hang in the balance.

If the Supreme Court rules in Trump’s favor in the birthright citizenship case, a U.S. passport will be the only way to prove citizenship. “If you don’t have [a U.S. passport], you’re not going to be able to register to vote,” Marc Elias said.

Y'all, we are literally fighting for a system that is built, backed, and run by OUR MONEY. We just want a system that is actually worth that investment—one that benefits everyone, not just the top 1%. And yes, if the system actually works & benefits us all, we’d be happy to pour more funds into it.

Republicans are trying to give ICE and Border Patrol billions more for detention camps, raids and militarized crackdowns — after making massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP to fund Trump’s deportation agenda. If you’ve got a GOP representative, it’s extra important for them to hear from you right now.
