Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

The people making healthcare decisions in this admin haven’t cared for patients in a very very long time (or they never did in the first place). It’s easy to take an eraser to important investments when you won’t have to deal with the consequences.

Well past time for new blood to step in and wrangle leadership from the old guard. I especially support @drannieandrews.com and and all healthcare leaders to step up and run for public office. No better time than the current to take a big swing!

I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t. Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8wM...

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

Leaders from nearly all the major medical societies are asking the same, basic question: What did Kennedy have to fear to first let the Advisory Committee meet and provide recommendations before such massive changes? We all know the answer.

Let's not make the same mistake as we did with Merrick Garland, giving him the benefit of the doubt as he paved the way for Trump! Schumer is doing NOTHING. Compromised? Complicit? Weak? Afraid? Doesn't matter -- he needs to step aside as Leader

Memorial Day is about honoring those who gave their “last full measure of devotion” to our country. So if you’re enjoying a day off from work, take some time to remember all those who have fought for our country, especially those who lost their lives.

Memorial Day is once a year but its meaning and spirit is relevant every day of the year. Words cannot express our debt to my fellow service members and their families who’ve endured the ultimate sacrifice. And thank you to all who’ve served in any capacity. We need more of you.

No one person or entity can replace the void of health leadership at the top for the next 3.5 years. But I, with powerful partners like @meidastouch.com, @msnbc.com, @nbcnews.com will try with every ounce of genuine effort to fill it responsibly. Thank you to all of you for the trust.

More than 9,000 American service members are buried at Normandy, where they died to protect democracy. We owe not just gratitude, but eternal vigilance to them and all who have sacrificed their lives for our country. #MemorialDay

We don’t have to wonder how President Trump will line his pockets if the GENIUS Act passes—he's showing us now. Since Monday's GENIUS Act vote, his stablecoin’s daily trade volume has increased by over a BILLION dollars, or 1000%. The Senate can and must stop this corruption.
