If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.

These people all have actual conflicts of interest that should keep them from working on any investigations like this. It's a measure of how tainted and corrupt this Justice Department is becoming and it breaks my heart. I hope it doesn't break our country. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

No doubt last night’s purge reflects racism and misogyny. But those wrongs are just a cover for the far more serious evils and dangers that exist here.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Doctors hold no greater oath than the one to their patient. It’s why I will continue to use the platform I have over the next 4+ years to tell you the truth, especially with our profession under attack. Professional ethics is all we have.

So many threads to pull here; the atrocious grasp of history & geopolitik, the glib lie about how the war in Ukraine began, the disgraceful abandonment of European allies. But it’s the alignment with the war criminal Putin, no friend of ours, that sticks out. What won’t Trump do to harm us?

Corporations are hiking up prices to drive profits, while everyday Illinoisans are stuck with the bill. It's not right — and we're calling them out and doing something about them in our state. We’re taking more steps to increase access to health care and lower the costs.

Following the dictator's playbook, Trump is attacking freedom of the press through bogus lawsuits. If Paramount (CBS’ parent company) settles with Trump, there would be dangerous consequences for the news outlets we rely on to stay informed. Tell CBS to fight back against Trump's baseless lawsuit. 👇
