Bray and his family tried to flee for Europe this weekend. Their tickets were mysteriously canceled right before they boarded the plane.

#Haiti: No one should fear being shot while walking to school, shopping for groceries, or seeking care in a hospital.

In Port-au-Prince, violence is escalating. Armed clashes are sending more civilians to our hospitals with devastating injuries.

Reality is subjective. My parents are old & don’t use social media (maybe thankfully!). I spend a ton of time each week sending them info to get to a place where we can even have a conversation about the state of the country.

Trump *cannot* give in. His Big Bill promised money to billionaires that can *only* come from cutting Medicaid in the way they are trying to do now. Dems *cannot* and *better not* give in. Those cuts are only set to go into effect after the mid-terms. They will lose everything if they cave.
