Lifelong Democrat living in a red state. Terrified of the direction US is going, leaders who are taking us there, and the lack of resistance from the public.

PSA: Election officials in California, Oregon, Washington and elsewhere are telling voters if you can, return your ballot through an official ballot drop box rather than trusting it to the mail.

Why can't everyone in the United States agree to protect the most vulnerable in our society. To the unvaccinated please stay yourselves away from the rest of us. Especially the NICU. You're causing the death of innocents. #SheShed

Trump cut down cherry trees for which Washington DC is famous for one of his tacky golf courses. He’s planning to sell some of Yosemite Park to a private developer. He’s destroyed the East Wing. He’s threatened to demolish the Kennedy Center. That vulgar slob has no respect for beauty.

If this enrages you, it should. And you’re not alone. The 19-year-old sailor who jumped off the USS Abraham Lincoln is facing disciplinary charges instead of receiving the mental health services he needs. 👀

A man whose brain was eaten by a worm and who use to put live mice in a blender to feed his pet snake, and who has no medical background whatsoever is making decisions on the health of our children. That man is Robert Kennedy Jr.

Ossoff on Mike Collins: "What he's saying to the people of Georgia is after cutting their healthcare, throwing 300k of them off their health insurance, doubling health insurance premiums for more than 1 mil Georgians, he's then going to take their tax dollars and pay it out to violent criminals."

The CDC isn't being actively antagonized to the degree it was in 2025. But things aren't better. This is a new circle of hell. One where we try and fail to clean up the damage done by this admin to our public health infrastructure. Over and over again. www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/seco...

When it comes to your children’s health, listen to doctors. Not a president who once told Americans to inject bleach. The American Academy of Pediatrics’ immunization recommendations have not changed.

This is whole story is horrifying, and as a journalist covering ICE flights, I was struck by this sentence: “We were shipped to Texas overnight from Los Angeles in horrible conditions that I won’t elaborate on in this letter.”

Acting AG Todd Blanche went mask-off, promising hard-liners behind closed doors to roll back abortion access further and make Dobbs “permanent in every single state.” Another reason to #SayNOtoBlanche. Source: flip.it/wFl4wM

BREAKING: Cornyn and Tillis have confirmed they'll vote for Blanche after his order rescinding the "anti-weaponization fund." Any concern they claimed to have had for survivors was performative and has now been abandoned. Ultimately, they chose to bend the knee to the Trump administration.
