Neuroimmune axis disorders are conditions at the interface of the nervous and immune systems and often involve autonomic nervous system, extracellular matrix|connective tissue, endocrine, and metabolic dysregulation. We use precision diagnostics and personalized medicine to treat these conditions.

I’m not running to play it safe or build a long political career. I’m running to push the envelope to actually get stuff done. We’re in San Francisco: our congressional representative should be taking risks and pushing every other member in congress to do the same.

73% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to govt data.
Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”
As ICE terrorizes cities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of Trump's major donors are private prison corporations.

Trump wrongly indicted me. I’ll rightly impeach him.
Impeachment isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent — but is it working?

Many Americans are hurting right now because of the shutdown, but caving to Republicans won’t end the hurt.
Trump and his lapdogs continue to assert that they alone have the power to slash whatever programs they don’t like.
Deals with this regime are meaningless.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress nearly a month ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in. Why the delay? Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, our healthcare, and the information we receive. Many are now currying favor with Trump to avoid accountability and maintain their power. This is what oligarchy looks like.

Donald Trump has reportedly spent $18 million worth of taxpayer money to play golf since his inauguration.
This is happening as he slashes the federal workforce, guts funding for vital programs, and tees up major cuts to Medicaid to pay for more tax cuts for the rich.
