9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nationโs public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Streetโs greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.
Science is real
Heโs providing them with valuable mulching experience though.

Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."

My reporting uncovered the existence of DoJ training videos instructing FBI personnel on how to flag Trumpโs name in the Epstein files. Iโm suing to get the videos under FOIA. substack.com/@muellershew...
Too true.
In a national poll, 9 out of 10 American flags prefer Governor Gavin Christopher Newsom.
Who forgot to put into the constitution that a convicted felon cannot hold the office of the president?
DO IT!!!
What a ridiculous person.

Just one more week of early voting in the 9/9 special election in VA11, the seat held by the late, great Rep. @GerryConnolly. Fairfax County turnout at this point just 5.8%. So...make sure you vote for @jameswalkinshaw.bsky.social early by mail/in person or on 9/9! bluevirginia.us/2025/08/satu...

The unprecedented step to redraw Missouri maps in the middle of the decade and without an updated census is not an act of democracy โ it is an unconstitutional attack against it. My full statement on the effort to gerrymander Missouri here: cleaver.house.gov/media-center...

A huge fuck you to everyone who told us we were "overreacting"!
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isnโt normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.
Hey Mark- Told one of my chiropractic patients about Cost Plus Drugs last week and your mission after he complained a skin cancer medicine was going to cost him $1700- He found it on your website for under $20- for real. Best project ever. @costplusdrugs.com
Good.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

I'm tired of this theater where Donald Trump asks Republicans to do something, they seem to push bank and then cave. The only two factions of the current GOP are proud MAGA and scared MAGA. Anyone who thinks Republicans are acting in good faith is delusional.

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees. No refugee underfunded a school. No refugee closed a hospital. No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled. We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!

I gave up on Joe. His show is totally useless.
Keep linking Sears to tRump and his failed policies. Keep asking people if grocery prices have gone down yet. Keep pointing out how many hospitals will close in their areas. You have to bring the pain of the Medicaire cuts closer than the elections. They won't feel it yet, but you have to bring it.
Winsome Earle-Sears said Trumpโs tax bill โdoes so many great thingsโ โ yet it raises costs for families across the Commonwealth. Weโve heard enough. Itโs clear that she cares more about Trump than making life easier for Virginians. See for yourself:
