Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

The National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine are elite clubs whose membership is mostly tenured old white men led by three presidents each with a salary of $1,000,000 per year. If anyone is safe and should be taking a principled stand, it should be them. But, they aren't. 🧪🧵

FACTS: "There are proposals from Republicans to cut $2.3 trillion from Medicaid." THIS is what it would do: It would destroy Medicaid. It wouldn't fight inflation. It wouldn't bring anybody's prices down. It would just steal people's health care #DontCutMyMedicaid

More layoffs in Iowa. Instead of talking about that or how they are underfunding public education, the Republicans at the Capitol are focused on taking away civil rights from the LGBTQ community… www.kcrg.com/2025/02/21/d...

Allowing your mother to be robbed of her Social Security and Medicare so Elon Musk can become a trillionaire is pretty fucked up.

Polio is baaaaack! Important note: “vaccine-derived” does NOT mean the vaccine caused disease. It just refers to the strain (meaning, it mutated from a weakened version of the virus in a vaccine). “Wild” infections are unrelated to strains in vaccines. POLIO VACCINE IS SAFE AND EFFECTIVE.

The GOP inherited a miracle of an economy, considering what DJT and Covid had wrought just 4 years before. It’s taken less than a month (how long is that in Presidential golf trips?) to trash it. Remember the Pottery Barn rule, frequently invoked by Colin Powell: you break it, you buy it.

Democratic governors should have all walked out together midway through that meeting but especially after Trump's attack on Gov. Janet Mills. I don't know why they didn't. Makes no sense.

I just watched the brilliant 1958 movie, “A Night to Remember”, about the sinking of the Titanic. It’s impossible not to see this parallel while you’re watching it.

"The silence with which many of us and our institutions are meeting this moment must be challenged" Thank you @jama.com for stating this. The earlier (and some ongoing) silence from academic organizations & institutions prior to the NIH cuts was deafening and disheartening. #standupforscience
