He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it. – Martin Luther King Jr.

I'm going to tell you something the government won't (and I can't believe I'm the one saying this): coronavirus damages the placenta. Women who are infected experience double the baseline rate of stillbirths.

I’ve been with Verizon for decades. Now I’ll have to cancel. Can anyone recommend a new carrier?

AOC: When you wake up in the morning, you will realize that you voted to defund planned parenthood and take away health care from 13.7 million Americans and when this country wakes up there will be consequences to pay for this

McGovern: House rules require a super majority vote for any bill that increases income taxes. Guess what? Republicans are turning that rule off. Why did they have to do that? Because they know this bill will increase taxes on those families struggling the most to put food on the table.

Republicans snuck an amendment into this bill to ban Affordable Care Act insurance plans from covering abortion care. This is part of their play for a national abortion ban, in the middle of the night, and ripping healthcare away from millions.

We keep saying people are going to have to feel serious pain before they wake up. Alabama is about to find out… House Republicans just passed legislation that would cut up to $300 billion from SNAP. 1 in 7 Alabamians rely on SNAP— Republicans are screwing their own constituents the hardest.

The extra-extreme members of the House Budget Committee voted "present" tonight so that the Medicaid-cuts-to-fund-tax-giveaways-for-the-rich bill could pass out of committee 17-16. Tomorrow, flood Capitol Hill switchboards to voice your opposition to this monstrosity. 202-224-3121.

It’s 10 pm on a Sunday night and Republicans on the Budget Committee are cutting food assistance, health care, and access to education to give billionaires a tax break.

At a time of massive inequality, Trump's budget is breathtaking in its degree of cruelty. It slashes funding for health care, housing & education that the working class desperately needs in order to pay for more tax breaks for billionaires & the Pentagon. That is morally obscene.

Yesterday, a top Trump Administration official made an apparent threat to arrest me. Here’s my message to Wisconsinites. I encourage you to take a few minutes to watch. ⬇️

Viktoriia Roshchyna, 27, was a Ukrainian journalist who was detained by Russia, tortured, and had her organs removed. Russia is a terrorist state.

RFK Jr. ordered the NIH’s Integrated Research Facility in Frederick to stop all research on serious infectious diseases yesterday at 5:00 PM. They study pathogens like Ebola there. You may be familiar with it from The Hot Zone. www.wired.com/story/hhs-ni...

Swalwell says the House Judiciary republicans just voted to allow Trump to deport US Citizens. From IG:

Republicans’ budget bill will slash at least $880 BILLION from Medicaid. That’s taking away health care from one-third of Americans, 38 million kids, and nursing home coverage from five out of eight seniors. It’s a betrayal of the middle class.
