When "our" problem is "us"... Some of us understood the mission, and some of us still don't get it.

Difficult to overstate how much blood RFK and Trump will have on their hands in the coming years.

Difficult to overstate how many innocent kids will die as a result of the people who cast votes for Trump last November.
A chilling reminder that American science denial does not just affect people in the US, it kills people globally.

I just got off the Senate floor where I joined Senator Booker who has been speaking since last night. His words remind us: this is not a left or right moment—it’s a right or wrong moment. We must stand up and fight back.

In his 1957 filibuster, Strom Thurmond said "Negroes ... are not so well qualified to vote as are the white people.”

A Black senator just broke the record Thurmond set with that speech.

No, Strom Thurmond did NOT renounce his segregationist views.

He also never acknowledged his own daughter, Essie Mae Washington-Williams, whose mother was a 15-year-old black maid in the Thurmond household who he knocked up when he was 22.

Strom Thurmond was NEVER "one of the good guys".
A segregationist is not and never will be "one of the good guys"

BBC reports that one of the journalists arrested by the Erdogan regime is Turkish photographer, Umit Bektas, who works for Reuters.

His iconic photos of the protestor in dervish clothes on Sunday night in Istanbul have gone viral.

Photos the regime do not want the world to see.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.

More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.

I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

Trump knows nothing. And cares even less. He has not even a basic grounding in history. His tiny brain just seems to function through a very limited prism of vanity, greed and vindictiveness.
Nothing beyond himself matters to him. He’ll burn it all down in his spasms of prejudice and egomania.
BREAKING - Trump just said he doubts whether France or other NATO members would help America if we needed it.

WRONG. The Article 5 mutual defense obligation has been invoked only ONCE in the 75 years of NATO.

To help America. After 9/11. And our allies answered the call.
