When I became a doctor, I swore an oath to do no harm.

From day one, RFK Jr. has done harm — undermining science, public health, and trust in vaccines.

That’s why I’m demanding his resignation as Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Loved catching up with my friend @oliviajulianna.bsky.social about Illinois banning AI therapy bots, and the courage of our Texas democratic state reps fighting for democracy!

And just so we’re clear— Texas Democrats begged Republicans for weeks to pass flood relief but they refused and instead spent the entire special session focused on redistricting.

There’s plenty of camera footage and testimony to prove that you gutless liars.

Texas Republicans were given directions by their daddy Trump to go draw 5 Democrats out of power before the midterms because they’re too chicken shit to actually compete.

Every single Democratic governor should do the same. Draw Republicans out of Congressional power. No mercy.

Greg Abbott wants to redistrict Texas to draw Democrats out of power.

There’s only one Democratic governor who has the courage to be just as scheming.

I ran Sacramento County's safety net clinic system before entering Congress.

I've seen what happens when patients can't access the care they need.

That's why I'm worried about Donald Trump's Big Ugly Bill becoming law.

I’m starting to think the kind of charming cutthroat Republican hatred Gavin Newsom has to offer is the right way forward.

I want a Democrat that dreams about creative ways to screw them over.

We got Doctors in Congress who represent blue states actively concerned about people living in red states because of how bad the budget bill is.

We are so cooked.

Donald Trump's "Big Ugly Bill" will take health care away from millions of Americans.

As a doctor, I know just how devastating the ripple effects of this bill will be — from shuttered rural hospitals to seniors losing the nursing home care they rely on.

Over 25,000 people have marched in No Kings Protests in Texas and the marches *haven’t even started* in Austin or San Antonio.

25,000 in Houston and Dallas alone.

I haven’t finished college yet either and have taken time off, does that make me a quitting idiot? These are the kinds of narratives that turn people off.

People keep makin fun of Charlie Kirk for being a “community college drop out” and it’s being phrased in a very smug elitist way every time I see it.

Hey liberals— stop using community college as some kind of gotcha. Community and junior college is a serious educational pathway hundreds of thousands of working class people use to further their education, myself included.

Stop being elitist.

The same people who supported the American flag being lowered to raise a MAGA one suddenly care about the optics of flags at protests.

Terry is just speaking the truth. ABC suspending him is more anticipatory obedience, like their pre-inaugural settlement of Trump's case. Terry if you need a lawyer....
