Firing the prosecutor of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell doesn’t make the problem go away. It intensifies awareness of a coverup.

We shouldn't need a Black Women’s Equal Pay Day, but here we are. Still underpaid. Still undervalued.
66 cents on the dollar means we lose thousands every year, for doing the same job.
Over a lifetime? That’s hundreds of thousands gone.
Pay Black women. Period.

I know you’re new to Congress, Mr. Fine, but we don’t call our colleagues terrorists here. It just makes you look idiotic. At a time when MN Democrats have been targeted for assassination by a right-wing extremist, your rhetoric is seriously dangerous. Apologize now.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.
I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

I rarely post personal things. But I need to talk about my 4-year-old niece, Hope.
She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive.
But the FDA recently denied its approval.
Now, her health hangs in the balance.
Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧵

There is more than sufficient evidence to open a federal hate crime case under 18 USC 249. This is precisely the type of crime the Shepard-Byrne ACT was passed to permit the feds to prosecute. Important to watch what DOJ does here. www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/...

Some of the CDC's main channels for communicating urgent health information to the public have gone silent.
Diseases are spreading. The CDC isn't warning the public like it was months ago

SCOOP from me: the mass exodus of employees from NOAA is decimating a tiny office that literally keeps our measurements of latitude and longitude accurate — and, former employees tell me, endangers the science of how the US understands global measurements:
Trump Cuts Are Killing a Tiny Office That Keeps Measurements of the World Accurate

If Republicans were proud of their bill, they'd debate it in the light of day.
Instead, they're trying to move it under the cover of night like the cult of cowards that they are.
They know that ripping away healthcare and food assistance from millions is harmful and unpopular.
