RFK Jr. is now blocking an updated flu vaccine for NO reason grounded in science. American vaccine policy has been hijacked by a conspiracy theorist—yet most Republicans are happy to just sit on their hands. They are allowing FDA policy to be dictated by DELUSION.

No doubt about one thing: they channel some serious Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood here. If anyone is showing what it looks like to turn empathy into a friggin’ superpower, it is the good neighbors of Minneapolis. bsky.app/profile/whst...

Are we sure he can still distinguish a camel from an elephant?

Asked about his relationship with Starmer and Macron, he rambles and adds "they gotta stop with the windmills" ohhhhkaaayyy

Two DOGE members working at the Social Security Administration were secretly in touch with a group seeking to “overturn election results in certain states,” and one signed an agreement that may have involved using Social Security data to match state voter rolls" www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

I have no words for this: “The goalkeeper told me I’m an illegal immigrant even though I was born in America, and he said Trump was gonna get me and send me back.” How is destroying the spirit of our children making this country great? Who will repair their trauma when this is over? Sickening.

Trump’s priority is building a new White House ballroom. Not you. Not your grocery bill. Not your healthcare.

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

This disrespect of our judicial system demonstrates the overall philosophy of this so called President- you can break any law and do anything as long as you’re on my team. 10 Convicted GOP congressmen- 10 freed by Trump. #corruption #disrespect #nokings #werhepeople deserve better.

If you're headed to a No Kings protest this Saturday, make sure you know your rights and others do too. Download a Know Your Rights phone screen background, protest sign, and more.

"Some 40% of Americans will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their life." Perhaps that's you. It's for sure someone you know. It was me & I owe everything to those recent breakthroughs. Good job to everyone who voted for cancer. I can't even. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/14/m...

RFK Jr. is working to single-handedly dismantle the CDC. He’s ignoring decades of research and science to advance his own anti-vaccine agenda. He’s unqualified for the role, and his positions are deadly. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/u...

The fact that Mathew Dowd lost his job for pointing out that Charlie Kirk had engaged in hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests that we should euthanize the homeless and there’s zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

"Perhaps the most important thing to understand about Trump’s mobster state capitalism is that it isn’t about economic efficiency or stimulating growth, let alone a vision of how the economy works and what it should create. It’s about *power*, pure and simple."

The conflict of interest and corruption at EPA are its new general modus operandi. Not sure whether a “For Sale” sign or a “Sold” sign should hang on the building. More gangster government.

“Do not offer thoughts and prayers as you systemically enable such tragedies. Do not claim prayers are sufficient when children die as they pray. Do not pretend you do not understand.” — Lydia, 16, Minneapolis

Update: I offered the amendment. Not to refuse acceptance of the Qatari jet; just to prohibit Trump from taking it with him when he leaves office - after the taxpayers spend $1 billion to retrofit it. Failed 14-15. Every single Republican voted to allow Trump to take the jet.

Democrats would be wise to start naming things the thing they are instead of trying to hide the ball all the time.

America has become a stupid un-serious country.

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process. So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel. Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

"On the trail, Trump declared he would deport massive numbers of 'criminal aliens.' When he came into office, however, he faced a problem: The vast majority of undocumented immigrants are law abiding. But he came up with an answer: Create fake crimes and thereby turn the law abiding into criminals."

Donald Trump incited a violent mob to attack the Capitol. Hundreds of dangerous felons who brutally beat police officers with impunity were then pardoned by the President on his first day in office. Don’t ever lecture America about law and order.

My statement on what's unfolding in Los Angeles.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

In the dead of night, the Senate advanced Trump’s budget. A great night for billionaires — a bad night for everyone else.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Thomas Friedman, always excellent.

“Liberation Day” will be remembered as one of the dumbest economic moves by a modern president.

For the first time in modern American history, a sitting president openly defied a direct federal court order—and nothing happened. The courts do not have an army. They rely on compliance. But a court that cannot enforce its rulings is not a court—it is a suggestion box.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

New Yorkers: Call Sen. Gillibrand’s office to vote NO on cloture and NO on the Republican Spending Bill. They vote in the morning. ☎️: (202) 224-4451

McConnell abused the filibuster to make America worse. Schumer is refusing to use the filibuster to... accomplish what, exactly?

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

This isn’t about fixing bureaucracy in Washington. This is about defunding your local public school. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/03/...

There were howls of protest and denial from the GOP any time we pointed out that Republicans want to cut Social Security. Now the most powerful official in the White House goes on TV and calls it "the big one to eliminate."

As a former Fulbright Scholar (in Chile), I personally understand how terrifying this is. U.S. citizens around the world & foreign nationals in the U.S. — all Fulbright Scholars — have now had their incomes eliminated & are stranded. DOGE is an illegal, criminal operation that must be shut down.

DOGE (Destruction of Government by Elon) is destroying Social Security from within. Even Trump’s own compromised SSA chief, Leland Dudek, admits Musk’s unqualified team is making reckless decisions that jeopardize benefits for tens of millions. I support efficiency, but this is a heist.

And a great many of these folks will have been loyal Republican voters up to now.

Measles outbreaks are back. Grocery and gas prices are up. Bird flu is spreading. All our allies hate us. Air travel is getting unsafe. The stock market is tanking. The government is about to shut down. And he’s only been President for six weeks. This is just the beginning.

Donations are tax deductible toi.

Volodymyr Zelensky's Oval Office visit ended early when Donald Trump and JD Vance began angrily yelling at him. Here's why women like Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton are too emotional to be president.

Next Tuesday, we won’t waste a second in responding to Trump’s steam of lies at the State of the Union. I’m not attending in person. Instead I’m partnering w @moveon.org to provide live real time response. Join us to learn the truth about the billionaire seizure of our government.
