Many of us knew this going into the voting booth last November, yet here we are…
Maybe don't have unqualified, anti-vaccine cranks without medical degrees as the director of our Health and Human Services, right?

But Republicans and Trump vouched for RFK Jr and now their base is going to die.

What we could have had…
Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."

RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775.
I'd also call your senators/reps as well.

A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."

I keep thinking about how Gov Abbott had plenty of funds to fly and bus migrants all across the country but couldn't come up with a million for a flood warning system.

Horrible news. I was lucky to see him perform with Blondie in 2022 and he was such an incredible presence on-stage.
Terrible news. One of the greatest drummers I have ever seen: powerful, buoyant, ferocious. :(
It is with profound sadness that we relay news of the passing of our beloved friend and bandmate Clem Burke following a private battle with cancer. (1/7)

The American government is “disappearing” innocent people.

There should be more outrage about this. 😡

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Elon Musk makes more in one day than NIH spends all year on childhood cancer research.
 
That hasn't stopped him from taking a chainsaw to this critical funding.
 
And Republicans are just letting him do it.
