As y’all get to know me, you’ll find I pay special attention to Medicare info, debunking medicine conspiracy theories, & combatting disinformation in general. I pepper that with some “how are you coping-me too” posts.We’re all in this together. So about vaccines: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

So we are in the dark. Best we can hope for now is leaks while the press ruminate over whether to sue or not.

He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you?

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

I remember when Joe Biden traveled to 8 cities for 14 appearances in 9 days after the June debate and then did a 90 minute UN brief but the media still relentlessly hounded him. Where's that media? At a Jake Tapper book talk?

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

📣Protesting is important. It is a visible reminder that we are not alone and that we are not powerless. It sends a message to those weak men in DC: that we will not give up our freedoms without a fight 🇺🇸

See you on Saturday. Bring friends 💪
