Phasing out NIH’s HIV clinical guidelines is flat-out immoral and unethical. These guidelines drive early diagnosis, ART initiation, and viral suppression—82% linked to care within 30 days, 69% virally suppressed by 6 months. Removing them puts millions of lives at risk. wapo.st/3FQovhf

Donald Trump illegally took military action against Iran—without congressional authorization—risking dragging us into another endless war. I am calling for an immediate emergency session of Congress to vote on the War Powers Resolution.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

I am glad that today the governor signed a new law repealing New York's ban on providing food and water to people waiting in line to vote. However, it should be clearly noted that this was the result of successful litigation brought by the Brooklyn NAACP -- which the state fought and lost in court.

Millions of acres worth of public land would be put up for sale in the Senate version of Trump’s big, ugly bill. It’s a massive privatization of a public good that everyone gets to enjoy – all to finance tax cuts that predominantly flow to the super-rich.

What an obscenely terrible headline. I can assure the legacy media that Democrats are not looking to be politically targeted, manhandled, handcuffed, arrested or indicted. The handcuffs are a symbol of authoritarianism, injustice, intimidation, and government abuse. Nothing more.

Of course I worry, I would be crazy not to. As you say, no one is safe. The question is what do we do about it? We all need to find our own way to stand up and speaking out. For me that means fighting in court, writing, and speaking in public.

Saying there are “too many non-working holidays” on Juneteenth is so on brand for a man who is actively trying to erase Black history. This from the same man who’s wasted over $26 million in taxpayer dollars and spent more than 30 days golfing since January 20, 2025? Please.

While we wait for the Supreme Court to rule in a critical redistricting case from Louisiana, this is what the GOP is up to in Texas and Ohio. Remember the GOP's plan is to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat.

🧵ICYMI: Trump is going after the National Science Foundation (NSF) budget, slashing it by $5.1 billion—about 57%. This is the largest single-year cut in the agency’s history and would affect nearly every aspect of NSF’s operations, from research grants to education & workforce development programs.
