Next week, Secretary Kennedy will be testifying before the Senate finance committee, which includes Senator Cassidy. This is the perfect time to reach out to your representative and let them know how much this will harm our patients. If you want to join like minded HCPs, Join @drsforamerica.org !!

The Florida government has signed contracts with at least $245 million of taxpayers' money for this this short-lived un-American photo-op cruelty.

We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.

Republicans are trying to rig the midterms, this time in Indiana. Join civic and democracy groups, elected officials and Hoosiers to send a powerful message: Indiana isn't a playground for electoral power grabs.
Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.
1/ Quick update on #fallvaccines: Flu and RSV vaccines remain business as usual this fall: if you’re eligible, you should be able to get them without issue. Vaccinations should start in September. Covid-19 vaccines are another story. There will be three key developments this week 👇

RADDATZ: The president went in to that meeting saying he wanted a ceasefire and there would be consequences if they didn't agree on a ceasefire in that meeting, and they didn't agree to a ceasefire. Where are the consequences? RUBIO: That's not the aim RADDATZ: The president said that was the aim

Securing firearms is one of the best ways to keep our schools and communities safe from gun violence. SMART Week, August 25-29, is all about empowering people with the simple steps they can take right now to prevent gun violence!
As anyone who lives in DC knows, it's the residents in Wards 7 & 8, south and east of the Anacostia River, who suffer most from crime. That's exactly where Trump's show-of-force is NOT deployed: ♦️They're parading (and harassing people) where they'll be seen. NOT fighting crime.
It is insane to me that the government can find money to pay ICE agents increasingly larger sums of money, yet teachers have to buy their own pencils.
Firing and demoralizing feminized jobs as enemies of the state while brazenly bribing men with violent jobs that almost instantly puts them into the middle of middle class is very basic gendered warfare. Fulfilling the manosphere’s promise.
Jesus fucking Christ. COSTCO NEVER SOLD IT. This is so idiotic. I can't.
THANK YOU.
🧵 We've had a decade of marriage equality—and that may be all we get. Just like I warned about Roe for years, I'm warning you now: Obergefell is absolutely on the chopping block. The same "history and tradition" test that killed abortion rights? That's their blueprint for same-sex marriage.
this is so fucking dumb. THEY NEVER SOLD IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. The disinformation is out of control. Worthless media hacks

#USDemocracy #DC #Trump #GOP #Republican Heather Cox Richardson talks about Trump deploying troops in DC and reminds her audience of the GOP's fearmongering tactic: "the administration is trying to look like it's extraordinarily powerful, and it's not."

Didn’t have my reading glasses on, and thought it said Markwayne Muffin. That’s ok. He’s apparently about as soft as a muffin.

Raskin: In any event, if he really cared about public safety in DC… he would not have pardoned 1600 insurrectionists and violent cop beaters on his first day in office.

🚨 🚨 NEW WHITEBOARD While the GOP is trying to gaslight the nation on its new round of gerrymandering, the truth is it’s an assault on democracy that mirrors “The Big Lie” effort after November 2020. And should be treated as such. How? WATCH and RT Then 1/
From the white supremacist book the official DHS account is referencing: "The point is to reveal organized Jewry as a world power entrenched in every country of the White man’s world, operating freely across every nation’s frontiers, and engaged in a ruthless war for the destruction of them all."
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...

"Are you seriously claiming that Trump is deploying the National Guard to D.C. as a distraction from his relationship with Epstein?" Yes. I am. Next question.

This made me snort laugh. I love this for our Lt. Governor.
Ghislaine Maxwell has been barred from participating in service dog training while in prison because of her crimes. I feel like if prison officials don't trust you around dogs, you shouldn't be eligible for a pardon under any circumstances.
That looks fairly nice for not being renovated (at least in photos). But now that you mention it, the furniture is a bit dated. Not awful though.
I love new or newly renovated hotels
The other hunters fail to see the irony. The actual “unprovoked attack” was the hunter “trying to take down” the buffalo.
It's the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, and two things are true at once: The law has never been more under threat, and it's more important than ever to fight for its promise of an equal voice for every citizen.
Important.
People should be up in arms about the closure of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the destruction of the economy, the arrests of non-criminal immigrants and the increasing banning of books and other information sources in this country. Wake up, folks.
Claiming that the Court is not going to strip away a constitutional (substantive due process) right because of precedent and related statutes is just so short-sighted. Clarence Thomas is champing at the bit to overturn Obergefell. He hates substantive due process. I don't know what to tell y'all.
Hearing Trump speak is often like hearing the voices of enslavers echoing down the centuries.
I haven’t picked up a new podcast in several years, because I already listen to so many that it’s become a part-time job. I’m making an exception for this one.

If Harris were President, I’d be posting about healthcare for all and free lunches for kids and more funding for schools and journalism. But, Trump is President so I have to post about concentration camps and thugs kidnapping people at work and kids working overnight in meat packing plants.

The only minority destroying America is the billionaires.
If your conclusion watching America over the last six months is “maybe 6 trans kids playing sports really is a pressing problem this country faces” you are simply not fit to hold a single shred of power.
🚨 🚨 NEW Whiteboard on Winning Democracy in the Long Term Who would ever use big money to prioritize statehouses? Um…the Koch Brothers, that’s who. It’s called ALEC and it’s why they’ve been winning. We must do the same. WATCH and RT 1/

I am no constitutional scholar, but I can't help but feel that "the President gets to dictate what every university can teach and what every television station should broadcast" is closer to what the founding fathers were worried about when it comes to free speech than trigger warnings on syllabi.
I don’t know, but Indiana can also be pretty miserable in November or March (and all months in between).
Of course, anywhere other than a #redstate would be awesome.
Portland, OR is amazing. On vacation by myself while husband is at Bandon Dunes playing golf. Really wish I could move here. #PDX

The WSJ is not going quietly. Bondi told Trump he's in the Epstein files.
This, from 17 year old Daniel Trujillo, is a powerful read. It's part of @rewirenewsgroup's "Trans Missives" series, where we asked teens and parents of teens to share their stories.
Oh hey, that’s me. 👋
It's become clear that this administration is just a protracted war on anybody who's read a book without pictures in it. It's a miracle we're all still getting up and going to work every morning. The psychological drain is the point, and I'm increasingly grateful to the people who are still decent.
Re-upping this because I really liked it. 🙂
On this day in 2012, 12 people were killed and 58 more were wounded when a gunman armed with a Smith & Wesson AR-15 rifle, a Glock pistol, and high-capacity magazines entered the Century 16 movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, and opened fire.
Indiana made the list.

If a newspaper is going to write that CBS canceled Late Night because all of late night comedy is unprofitable due to competition with streaming, wouldn't the newspaper be more curious why the first late night comedy show to get the ax was the one with the most viewers?
I’m only sad for the wife and kids of the CEO who are harmed by HIS infidelity and poor judgement. He should have consciously uncoupled before going out in public with the head of HR.
