Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, Donald Trump is publicly supporting a conspiracy theory that Joe Biden was actually killed in 2020 and replaced by a robot clone. Just a heads up in case you know of anyone who might be interested in investigating the cognitive deterioration of the commander-in-chief.

GOP to America: Stop clinging to your healthcare and retirement. We are all going to die sometime. We’re just gonna make sure it happens sooner, and from a homeless shelter.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

The reality that masked men without proper identification are confronting and arresting and taking away people should be intolerable to anyone who calls themselves American.

The problem with trying to manage my constant rage with these people is that on the other side of that emotion is a deep and profound sadness at how much we have already lost.

The Dept. of Justice has filed its first voter suppression lawsuit aimed at disenfranchising voters. This is a critical juncture for democracy. Paige and I discuss the implications and how it echoes claims made by failed state Supreme Court candidate Jefferson Griffin. youtu.be/8XEW-Ga428M

American College of Obstetrics to HHS: The science on COVID vaccination in pregnancy is clear. It protects mothers & newborns. Pulling the guidance isn’t leadership—it’s reckless. Shame on you, RFK. #BlueSky #MedSky #ObSky #PedSky #NurseSky #SciSky #EMSky www.acog.org/news/news-re...

I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few: 1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.

These are deeply, profoundly, tragically abnormal times riven by cruel, hateful, reckless and ignorant people bent on dismantling our government, strengthening Putin, stoking fear, breaking our spirit, enriching themselves and ruling over the ashes of public liberty. We won’t let them succeed.
