We’re announcing new legislation — the No Secret Police Act (SB 627) — to ban local/state/federal law enforcement, w/ some exceptions, from covering their faces when interacting w/ the public & require them to wear identifying info. The secret police behavior we’re seeing destroys trust & must end🧵

Re: U.S. CECOT detainees, the main q is NOT 'did they ever allegedly commit a crime?' Rather: Is the US allowed to deliver them into lifetime imprisonment in a notorious Salvadoran prison camp without charge, trial, sentencing, or consideration of international/asylum/anti-torture law? Clearly no!

“The whole point of prosperity is so you can protect people." This is spot on. Half of the world is glorifying wealthy people and excusing their wickedness, no matter what they do. The only God they worship is money.

Everyone should be aware that over 6000 physicians meant to start work in US hospitals on July 1st have had their visas cancelled by the State Department. There’s no real way to backfill these positions in time. If you’ve been putting off that appointment, I would get it done now.

Last night at bedtime my 5-year old asked me for a "talking book." "What's that?" I asked. "It's when you tell a story, but you just talk. No book." Ah, he wanted me to make up a story, or tell one from memory, which I am always happy to do. But from now on I will call myself, "The Talking Book."
