The Trump Administration’s removal of LGBTQ suicide prevention programs this summer was a disgrace.

I just signed legislation requiring student ID cards in public middle schools, high schools, and colleges to include the Trevor Project’s crisis and suicide prevention hotline.

Consumer sentiment remains dismal in Trump's economy due to high prices and poor job prospects. It's down 22% from this point last year.

Are we great yet?

Consumer sentiment remains desolate as consumers fret about inflation, jobs prospects

The University of Michigan’s preliminary survey of consumers showed sentiment was little changed in October, though Americans remain worried about the job market and inflation.

We are reaching the tipping point with continued measles outbreaks throughout the U.S. If they continue (bad news: under this administration, that's nearly guaranteed), we are at risk of losing our elimination status. What that means in the info-graphic, below.

Infographic saying:
Measles Alert. The US is approaching a tipping point - we may lose our measles elimination status.
What is "Measles Elimination"?
"Elimination means no continuous endemic transmission of measles for <12 months despite importations. The U.S. was declared to have eliminated measles in 2000. But elimination is not "forever" - if the virus begins sustained transmission again, the status can be revoked.
Why the US is now at risk:
2025 is seeing the highest measles caseload in decades - over 1,544 confirmed cases as of Sept. 30. Many outbreaks are clustering in under-vaccinated communities. Measles is extremely transmissible, so her immunity needs very high coverage (>92-95%) to block sustained spread.
What losing elimination means - and why it matters:
Measles becomes endemic again: regular spread, more severe outcomes, and greater health impact. The public health burden increases; contact tracing, outbreak response, surveillance costs, and strain on local health systems.

This is the best chance we’ve had to elect a Democratic Florida Governor in the last 30 years. It’s time for us to join together and win next November.

It was a pleasure to speak at the @claycountydems.bsky.social earlier this week and share our vision for Florida’s future.

ICE agents in Chicago kidnapped WGN-TV camera operator Debbie Brockman, loaded her into a van with a New Jersey license plate. @booker.senate.gov Can you help explain? @jbpritzker.bsky.social did anyone give permission for ICE agents from NJ to invade Illinois?

The malicious prosecution of Attorney General Tish James is baseless.

And the indictment is not worth the paper it is written on.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

🚨 Retired Major Richard Ojeda explains the danger of “floating the use of the 82nd Airborne Division on American soil.” His message needs to be heard. Veterans, retired and active, are aware of the Posse Comitatus Act. The U.S. military is not to attack our own citizens. 1/2

The murders of the Venezuelan and Colombian fishermen are crimes against humanity. Can’t the people that ordered this and carried it out be prosecuted? Does the SC’s immunity ruling protect trump? I don’t want people who co-sign murder on the Supreme Court!
