mRNA vaccines are the biggest breakthrough in disease prevention and treatment in decades. We're curing *cancer* with mRNA vaccines. To eliminate research in this field, at this moment, is fall-of-the-empire-grade stuff.

Another woman in Texas died because she couldn’t get a D&C after a miscarriage. A corpse has more bodily autonomy in the US than a pregnant woman. A non-organ donor will not have their life-saving organs harvested, despite the need. But a pregnant woman can be kept pregnant even if it kills her.🤦

A lot of folks don't fully comprehend the difference between a million and a billion, so here's an example: A million seconds = 11 days, 13 hours, 46 minutes, and 40 seconds. A billion seconds = 31 years, 259 days, 1 hour, 46 minutes, and 40 seconds. The difference is pretty huge.

We cannot ignore how shockingly abnormal it is for a private citizen — who himself has contracts with the federal government — to dispatch a private army of executives, data experts and recent high schoolers to dictate policies to federal agencies. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/elon...

Democrats need to learn how to treat real scandals with the same intensity and seriousness that Republicans use on bullshit like Hillary's emails and Hunter's laptop. Non-stop circus. Run shifts outside treasury, someone there 24/7. Make them prove they're not breaking the law.

Incredibly moving Justin Trudeau remarks: "We have fought and died alongside you....During your darkest hours...we were always there. Standing with you, grieving with you, the American people....Canadians are a little perplexed as to why our closest friends and neighbors are choosing to target us."

Anyone who fell for the "Trump has nothing to do with Project 2025" line is a sucker and an idiot. Talk about easily conned.🙄 There was an abundance of evidence this was the case, including him bragging about it before he learned it was unpopular.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

This is a remarkable moment. Trump and Vance sit there in silence, as a bishop pleas with them to lean on their better angels and not follow through with their depraved campaign promises that target the LGBTQ+ community and immigrants. Never seen anything like this.

Gavin Newsom launched a website to combat the wildfire disinformation spreading about Los Angeles, because people can’t be bothered to do a simple Google search before sharing nonsense. And because people suck! Get the facts: californiafirefacts.com

You will read countless times today that the LA mayor cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23 million. That is a lie. The budget was actually *increased* by $50 million.
