I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

“Never before have we issued a joint public warning like this. But the profound, immediate and unprecedented threat that Kennedy’s policies and positions pose to the nation’s health cannot be ignored.”

Opinion | Six surgeons general: It’s our duty to warn the nation about RFK Jr.

We took an oath to declare dangers when we found them. We’re doing that again today.

Guess how many times Republicans have tried to negotiate with Democrats to save health care? None. Zero. Not once.

Republicans would rather shut down the government than lower health care costs.

This is the kind of power that state and local governments have to protect residents from Trump’s regime. Turn up the pressure on your governor, legislature, or city council to take concrete steps to stop Trump’s authoritarian immigration crackdown: www.bluestatedefiance.org/no-secret-po...

A nurse ran outside to thank us and take pics for her colleauges, and burst into tears.
