The federal government’s recent cuts to Medicare, including telehealth, make it more difficult for Americans to access the healthcare they need. We simply can’t reduce healthcare options for seniors. I’m running for Congress to defend Medicare and telehealth. secure.actblue.com/donate/weil-...

Following Trump’s new Executive Order re: the S.F. Presidio, here’s a shareable link to an unrolled version of my highly sourced thread about the Tech Bros’ plan to build a “Freedom City” in the Presidio.

Did you know that 72 MILLION Americans rely on Medicaid for healthcare? The Trump Administration and MAGA Republicans in Congress want to take it away to give tax breaks to billionaires. Don't let them take away our healthcare. Let them know you didn’t vote for this shit.

For decades, the US government has painstakingly kept American science #1 globally—and every facet of American life has improved because of it. The internet? Flu shot? Ozempic? All grew out of federally-funded research. Now all that's being dismantled. 1/ www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/21/1...

When I asked here earlier who the leader of the Dems was in 2017-2020, I got a whole range of answers. I find that comforting - we were able to win then without a single person at front because we all stepped up to the front.

The nature of “shock and awe” is that it makes it hard to see or think clearly. What’s playing out through a veneer of chaos is a deliberate tactical program to create a system in which the President has sole authority over the entire executive branch: www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

This is trivial in the scheme of things, but just shows how little time Elon Musk spends actually reading the claims from which he draws sweeping conclusions. An anonymous X influencer posted an unsourced claim about Sen. Cornyn--and Musk shared it as proof that "legacy media lies relentlessly."
