George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

Millions stand to lose healthcare under the new Republican budget plan. Costs go up, coverage goes down, and the health of our nation is the collateral damage.

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data.

We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district.

Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

Brutal. Constituents in Jim Jordan's (R-OH) district would have to fork up an additional $16,846 every year to keep their coverage.

Trump claims acetaminophen in pregnancy causes autism. The science says otherwise. Decades of data show no causal link.

Science matters. Truth matters. Families deserve better.

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

New Mexico's economy is a fraction of the size of New York City's.

If they can enact universal childcare — and relieve working families of a crushing cost burden — surely we can too.

It's just a question of political will.

New Mexico will be the first state to make child care free

The program, which is expected to save families $12,000 per child annually, is available to all residents regardless of income.

Hannah Arendt said 'The death of human empathy is one of the earliest & most telling signs of a culture about to fall into barbarism'

We saw the recent cruelty of MAGA denying empathy to Melissa Hortman

I condemn all gun violence

Despite political differences, Charlie Kirk should not be shot.

Today another school ahooting happened as well

Guns are the problem

I send prayers to all victims of gun violence.

Congress should enact sensible gun reform (very unlikely currently)

The attack on Charlie Kirk is horrifying.

Political violence has no place in this country and should never become the norm.

I’m sending my sympathies to his family and friends at this time.

Evidenced-Based Medicine:

✅Vaccines don’t cause Autism

✅Acetaminophen (Tylenol) does not cause Autism

We are in scary times when our government abandons science.

4 top CDC leaders resigned after Susan Monarez was fired. This isn’t reshuffling, it’s a red-alert. Science is being sidelined for politics.

This isn’t just a story about the CDC, it’s about whether science or politics will decide who lives and who dies in America.

The CDC lost its backbone.

After Director Susan Monarez was fired, four top CDC leaders resigned in protest. This isn’t routine turnover, it’s a red-alert that science, including vaccine policy, is being sidelined for politics.
