Glad to see Johns Hopkins and the University of Maryland supporting Harvard as it resists Trump’s lawlessness and bullying. This is what leadership looks like. Shame on those caving to Trump’s abuses of power and assault on our Constitution.

Despite CDC’s recent update, ACOG continues to strongly recommend COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy in any trimester and during lactation. The vaccine is safe, effective, and protects parents and infants, especially in the first six months of the infant’s life. Learn more: bit.ly/3RWsM3z

Is it a cliche to say they found the waste, fraud, and abuse?

An important detail about the new job numbers has gone largely overlooked: Excluding 2020, job growth over the first five months of this year has been the worst since the Great Recession. Something to keep in mind as Trump describes recent job growth as “great.” www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

When 15 million Americans lose their health care, and untold more face additional harms, you ABSOLUTELY want to be saying "and the jerks who took it from you were fighting openly because they only cared about about who got more."

Yes, please. He won't resign, but a very vocal campaign against him can serve the purpose of reminding folks that's he's cuckoo for cocoa puffs; likewise, the absence of professional dissent would reinforce a public view that his takes are legitimate. www.medpagetoday.com/washington-w...

Man it really sucks when someone just takes your government funding away out of nowhere on a whim

Sigh. How? By letting them fight it out yes but also stepping up with bold policy ideas so people know there is a robust alternative. Come on guys. This isn’t complicated and it isn’t punditry.

Dems have a real opportunity to portray Trump as wasting resources picking up Moms and constructions workers rather than going after real criminals

The Trump team thinks Confederate traitors who killed Americans are worth honoring. But Americans who fought at Normandy in D-Day like Medgar Evers, or served in the Navy like Harvey Milk and Cesar Chavez, or worked as a spy for the US Army like Harriet Tubman, well, they are NOT worth honoring.

If @MarshaBlackburn is pushing a law to make it illegal to name ICE agents… doesn’t that mean it isn’t currently illegal? So what are she and @AndyOgles investigating Mayor O’Connell for exactly? 🤷🏻‍♂️ (Also: if ICE agents are this ashamed, maybe stop?) nypost.com/2025/06/04/u...

This is a good idea. Highlight the fact that law enforcement agencies that should be targeting drug trafficking and child exploitation are being used to arrest immigrant moms and workers due to Stephen Miller's twisted ideological obsession, Dems!

"Blind loyalty and pliable incompetence" seems like a headline for a lot of people in this administration. Nat sec experts need to go on media and talk about why we need serious counterterrorism efforts in everyday terms and then describe the background, quotes, actions, of the person leading this.

I still think this is one of the most gutting notes I’ve ever read.

They can’t fight on even terms by producing enough quality scholars/researchers so this is what they are left with.

I want to see more of this kind of response.

I just want a global 'turn all 'ai' off everywhere, categorically, no exceptions unless I individually approve them in triplicate' setting for all my devices

He needed air. The price was $539. When OptumRx dropped coverage of his $66 inhaler, Cole couldn’t afford the new price. 5 days later, he died from a severe asthma attack—with no inhaler. He paid with his life. www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news... #MedSky #SciSky #PedsSky #PulmSky

Democrats… learn something from this

And the way psychology of attention and memory works, we scroll past a bunch of headlines, read automatically and the repetition creates a baseline barely questioned sense of truth. When many headlines are distorted in similar ways, they create a psychological reality.

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him? KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

This @washingtonpost.com headline, framing, and reporting is maddening. This is not a push to cut waste...it is a push to drastically cut health care, food assistance and housing assistance to pay for tax cuts. The reporting is ahistorical and misleading. It's stunning. 🧵

Yup, and Dems need to start saying this. It's a great time to be a criminal, there's no more fed law enforcement, they're all sipping coffee cosplaying in military gear while waiting for law-abiding migrants on their way out of immigration hearings.
