In the time when we all lived in caves, half of everyone born was dead by age 30. By 1840, half of everyone born was dead by 35. ( despite organic foods, clean air & water (etc) Today’s much long life expectancy is due to science - the meds, the vaccines etc Do not listen to RFK Jr

You know how people called women hysterical for predicting the right wing would take down Roe v. Wade (which they've done) and then attack access to birth control (which they're doing)? Hear me when I say that women's very right to vote is next. www.npr.org/2025/08/09/n...

ICE just got a 265% detention funding boost. Palantir software is being used to create the federal government’s first national citizenship data bank. The Trump regime is attacking naturalized citizens and birthright citizenship. Be warned — Trump’s police state is here.
Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

Federal goons in tactical gear are invading MacArthur Park in Los Angeles while Texas is still underwater. This is actual fascism. Our federal agencies are supposed to help civilians. Now they serve as Treasonous Trump's personal Gestapo. It is past the point you were supposed to panic.

The Republican spending bill is a historic theft that will take from the poor to give to the already-rich. Republicans passed this knowing people will die. They know people will lose their health care. They know children will go hungry. They will own the tragic results. We can't let them forget.

ONCE AGAIN in the dark of night—Republicans are trying to jam their Big Abomination of a Bill through Congress. This is what’s going on tonight after they jammed a motion to proceed through the Senate in a 51-49 vote. Obviously, I’ll be a very hell NO on this bill. ⬇️
I’ve heard from people across New Jersey and throughout the country who will suffer as a result of this bill. They are seniors, working parents, people with disabilities, small businesses and low-income families. If this bill passes, Republicans will have failed them all.
