A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.

Musk staffers are joking about how upcoming Social Security changes will restrict access by requiring in-person visits while simultaneously shutting down offices. They are touting the cost savings from limiting access.

We are living in very dangerous, unusual times.

Today, the White House ignored a ruling by a Federal District Court because we have President who is an ignorant buffoon with no respect for the law or the Constitution.

THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!

"dei medal" you might as well just put "n*gger medal" because that's what they mean to say
This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position.

Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

RFK's reckless stance on vaccines puts lives in danger.

I’m asking him a simple question: will he change course and encourage parents to vaccinate their kids against measles — yes or no?

A child in Texas died from measles, the first death in a decade. It should be an easy yes.

On Tuesday, Senate Democrats will investigate the Trump-Musk attack on American consumers.

I'm inviting Elon Musk. He owes the American people answers on why he’s trying to shut down the financial cop on the beat that prevents big corporations from cheating Americans.

Trump & Musk are trying to fire 100,000+ civil servants right now - including over 1,000 VA employees.

Purges are happening at SBA, Energy, Education & more.

Firing this many critical employees at once could make it impossible for our government to provide BASIC services.

Donald Trump promised to lower costs, in his own words, “on day one.”

Now, Trump and Elon Musk are gutting the consumer agency, which will increase costs on working people.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Here’s one thing that I’m watching with Donald Trump’s tariffs:

Which billionaires and giant corporations will buy themselves loopholes?

In his 1st term, well-connected insiders got tariff waivers.

This is one more way to make corporate CEOs kiss Trump's ring.
