El-Sayed: "People like Vance think America is too small for some of us. I think America is big enough. America has been big enough include people whose families came, were here before anybody else showed up, or who were brought here despite themselves. His view of America is small -- small like him"

“The end of acute infection is not necessarily the end of the disease”. I very much appreciate this comment in Nature highlighting the role of infectious disease in the development or exacerbation of chronic disease. Vaccines can prevent chronic diseases, which is often overlooked.

Dear Trump voters, You wanted mass deportations. Well, hundreds of thousands of people have been deported. NOW WHAT? • Did you get that job they supposedly took from you? • Did grocery prices drop? • Is rent cheaper? • Did your health insurance premiums drop? #TrumpsAbuseOfPower 🧵

Our friend who works at a refugee resettlement organization reports that even more of the afrikaners settled here by Trump returned home this last summer. Not having maids is a deal breaker. Some think that whites are the master race. America isn’t for them. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Did you know businesses with federal govt contracts aren’t allowed to spend for or against federal candidates? How then has Elon Musk, whose companies get billions in contracts, spent hundreds of millions in our elections? The answer: A giant loophole I'm working to close.

REAL JOURNALIST: "What you are now saying is that inflated fuel and grocery prices under Biden were not related to his policies or to Democrats in office. So explain why you continue to try to blame Biden and Democrats."

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

notable -- Fox News hasn't mentioned Trump's transphobic attack on Annie Andrews a single time. Not once. And they cover a lot of his Truth Social posts. Almost like they're trying to protect their audience from learning the true depth of his depravity.

22 California billionaires have spent a combined $150 million to defeat Prop 40. Their combined wealth in January 2025 was $439 BILLION. By September 2026, it had grown to $722 BILLION. They're accidentally making the case for the billionaire tax better than anyone else could.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.

Irish PM Micheál Martin on Gaza: The peace plan on Gaza agreed last October was welcome, but it has not fundamentally changed the reality on the ground. Israeli strikes continue. Humanitarian aid remains blocked. Civilians continue to suffer. We, the international community, have failed Palestine.
