Stop letting conveniently confused white women get away with private apologies after causing decades worth of racist harm in less than an hour
Politico just reported that Gillibrand's team claims she "privately" apologized to Zohran Mamdani.
Okay, and? How does this undo any of the damage she caused with her statements? There's not even any public statement, FFS.
I'm calling her office again tomorrow.

Trump calls for deporting US citizens: "We also have a lot of bad people that have been here for a long time ... many of them were born in our country. I think we ought to get them the hell out of here too, if you want to know the truth. So maybe that'll be the next job."

so i don’t know if susan collins knows this but she belongs to a body that has the constitutionally designated power to tell HHS to stop making these cuts because they do not have the authority to unilaterally refuse to spend congressional appropriations.
Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins slams the Trump admin’s NIH cuts as “poorly conceived” and says she has called RFK to “to express my strong opposition to these arbitrary cuts in funding for vital research.” She says he promised to “re-examine this initiative” if confirmed as HHS secretary.
