Our oldest daughter just drove by an anti-Trump protest in Kansas with three women holding signs. She was so excited to see them that she immediately sent me text. This is just to say, your tiny protests make a difference. We see you. We are proud of you.

He's been doing this for YEARS and not in front of cameras. That's why it comes off as authentic because it's true to what he's been doing all along.

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

The firing of the entire U.S. vaccine advisory committee is just the latest in a string of dangerous, anti-science decisions. But I’m not backing down. I’m doubling down. Here’s how I’m continuing to show up for my patients and why we all must. bktitanji.substack.com/p/when-the-s...

Born and raised in Los Angeles County, David Huerta is a champion for justice and a good neighbor. Today, while advocating for his community during an ICE raid, he was injured and arrested. These raids are dangerous for our families and communities. They are unjust and must end.
