Every House Republican just voted to defund Medicaid. Reminder: there are no moderate Republicans in Congress, and stop pretending there are.

“…as of April 1, 2025, I won’t be eligible for telehealth services unless I live in a rural area or meet a few other criteria that aren’t applicable to me. I am mostly homebound and rely on telehealth for the majority of my healthcare needs. This would be devastating.” #telehealth #accesstocare

Call Congress and tell them to keep Tr😡mp’s hands off our post office as this will be dangerous with mail in ballots! Such a move will violate Article I, Section 8, Clause 7 of the United States Constitution which gave Congress exclusive power to establish the postal system.

This country is living through a profoundly racist political administration and yet is being treated to a Super Bowl pregame that highlights an HBCU marching band and is chalked full of the artistic beauty and talent of our Black brothers and sisters. It’s almost whiplash.

JD Vance - If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.

J.D. Vance must’ve thought he was scoring points by saying “Judges aren't allowed to control the executive's legitimate power," but of course controlling abuses of that power is exactly what Federal Judges must do — and what Judge Engelmayer did in this very case. search.app/hHJJWzMXS2f2...

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

They want to destroy the universities because they believe that it's the universities that are turning kids away from far-right reactionary cultural preferences. Thus they want the universities either indoctrinating young people into far-right beliefs, or they want them gone.

Two lawyers, one Yale educated, one Harvard educated; one the VP, one a senator, suggesting that decisions made by courts aren’t legitimate if they don’t like the outcome. This is dangerous territory.

Under fascism, no one is safe. Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc. Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations. Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

The NIH announced it will slash billions of dollars of support to universities and research centers. This is one of the biggest attacks on science we have ever seen. It could dismantle the biomedical research system, shut down clinical trials, and halt development of treatments.
