Our neighbors in Philly and across the commonwealth cannot afford for Congress to stay on an extended vacation.

I joined my colleagues @scanlon.house.gov & @repdwightevans.bsky.social to demand that Congress get to work, save SNAP and health care for millions of Americans, and end this shutdown.

Thought this was interesting. This slide is from a talk I gave in 2013 about our research on vaccine exemptions in AZ.

Even then, one of the hotspots for exemptions was Colorado City AZ, and as denoted by the masked emoji I just added, this is where the current AZ measles outbreak began.

Trump flippantly announced that he has directed the DoD to resume nuclear weapons testing.

"When authoritarian leaders destroy the symbols of democracy, they are preparing to destroy its substance. Their goal is to raise doubts about who this country belongs to, and make us believe that it doesn’t belong to us."
