This is why we should never debate the worth of another person We all have value just for being ourselves It’s not tied to our job, or health status or our economic contribution Saying that someone must prove they “matter” to get Medicaid is blatant eugenics Disabled people aren’t expendable!

Once a TV huckster, always a TV huckster. These aren't "audiences." They're people. The reason these folks didn't go on the exchanges in the first place is because they don't make enough money. Oh, and they're cutting the ACA subsidies too so even more people will lose insurance.

“I’m just going to say it, shame on any of us who throws a trans child under the bus for thinking they’re going to get elected. That child deserves our support. Don’t worry about the pollsters calling it distractions, because we need to be the party of human dignity.”

EVs are one of our best tools to cut pollution from transportation — our #1 source from everyday activities. But Trump is freezing billions in EV charging funds. States and advocates are fighting back.

The FDA has an obligation to release critical safety information about outbreaks. This information is vital as the Trump Administration recklessly guts critical health programs, leaving our families vulnerable. The FDA must protect people, not companies.

Not all disabled people have family or friends who can take care of them. Charities are woefully ill equipped to provide the level of care many of us need. Being abandoned for being sick is common, and it’s not our fault. Disability is not & has never been a moral failing.

Glyphosate obsession is a tell that someone is anti-science. Glyphosate has never been demonstrated to have any clinical effects on humans, and acts on a metabolic pathway that is only present in plants. It is the best studied and safest herbicide that exists. It is less carcinogenic than caffeine.

Not just higher ed. Small businesses and industry will be devastated as well. I have an SBIR app under review. Had to ask potential lab space if they could add a termination clause if the gov stopped paying. There's a lot of current and pending SBIRs with the same concerns.

A drug addict usurped congressional power, and unilaterally gutted US soft power. Members of the administration knew about, and were disturbed by, his drug use (WSJ). Isn’t this a cover-up?

I spent five weeks talking to federal workers about knowledge loss and brain drain across the federal government, and its implications, both right now and for decades to come. Their stories are frightening, but I think it's important to know what we're facing: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Over $13 billion has been awarded to private companies involved in immigration enforcement in the past 10 years, with a 50% increase recorded from January to May 2025. These companies are profiting off of fear and hate. I know there are other areas where that money can be better used. #ProudBlue

The more people who are denied care and left to die, the more profitable it is for health insurance companies. Your reminder that for-profit healthcare isn't healthcare. It's an exploitation of sick people and transfer of wealth from the working class to the mega-rich.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages. Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare... This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

Utah spent two years and a thousand pages proving what any parent already knows children flourish with acceptance, wither with rejection. The evidence overwhelms, yet the politics remain unmoved. In America, we prefer our prejudices to our principles, our fears to our findings.
