I tried to get her the flu vax today. Her doctor's office didn't have it for her insurance company yet (what?), so I tried her pharmacy. They are only allowed to give the flu vaccine to 18+. This is ridiculous and unconscionable. RFK Jr., Trump, and their anti-science agenda is going to kill kids.

Hey, CBS. You hold hands with fascists thinking you can continue this feverish dance for the felon to slip you a few bucks. Colbert exposed your complicity in the destruction of our democracy. You are cowards & will go down in history for your abandonment of freedom of the press and speech.

RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz ,et al, are just perpetuating the pernicious ableism that everyone with a chronic condition/disability (especially the dynamic ones) knows: Ppl think that when you get sick/injured, you either get better or you die. Ongoing? They can't understand...🧵 1/...

Without Congressional consultation, Trump and DOGE have illegally sought to shut down MCC without evidence of wrongdoing making America less safe, less secure, and less prosperous. I urge my GOP colleagues to stand up to this reckless attack on our credibility.

Seriously, how weak and powerless is the Trump administration that they can't just pick up the phone and have Kilmar Abrego Garcia back in the United States by tonight? They're making so many excuses...I guess El Salvador is too powerful for Trump.

I am uninstalling the MSN app. Yesterday, they had exactly one buried article on the #HandsOff protests. Today, I've scrolled down several screens - not a single article so far covering this huge rebuke of Trump and Musk. MSN, that is an unexcusable derelict of duty.

Thank you, Senator. I am not hearing you say that you will be voting NO on cloture, though, and that is concerning. Please confirm you will be voting no. A yes vote on cloture is a yes to the CR, and you know this. Please be transparent with your constituents. You already understand why.
