There we go. Support this man.

Amazing to be there when @sanders.senate.gov and @aoc.bsky.social came to Utah! We can make a better America!

20,000 in ruby red Utah on their feet, in community, and ready to organize for a better world. A better world is possible.

The crowd and overflow crowd for the Bernie Sanders/AOC event tonight in Utah. Wow.

This is how tariffs work. ..and now I want Crab Rangoon.

“Hank, why are you spending so much time defending the freaking /minecraft movie?/“ Actually, I’m not defending anything, I am attacking the practice of dumping buckets of jaded misery on moments of goofy joy and I will absolutely die on that hill.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Think about how much of an entitled prick you’d have to be to think calling other human beings “peasants” when you’re the Vice President is an ok thing to do. The world’s worst diplomat strikes again. Also: we don’t borrow money from them. That is nonsense.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

Yes, the stock market may be tanking and our national security apparatus has never been more vulnerable and we're on the verge of both economic collapse and war, but it was all worth it to keep pronouns out of email signatures.

#publichealth 🧪Somehow the least qualified HHS secretary in American history has managed to choose an EVEN less qualified senior data analyst to try and resuscitate the long-debunked theory that vaccines cause autism. Spoiler alert: Vaccines STILL don't cause autism. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/27/h...

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: When we see people being pulled off the streets, when we see students at universities being grabbed, detained, and kidnapped, and when we see Kristi Noem filming this disgusting video, we’re looking at a nation we no longer recognize. We don’t want to be like that nation.

"Our NIH grant to discover coronavirus antiviral meds was terminated today. With this grant, we had developed a better SARSCoV2 inhibitor than Paxlovid, and we recently discovered an improved drug that looks better than Pfizer's own second-generation inhibitor."

The bill was criticized by Democrats and voting rights advocates as a policy change that will make it more difficult for marginalized communities — especially Native Americans and those with disabilities — to vote. Cox called the bill "brilliant."

Pete Buttigieg on leaked war plans

This continues to be the biggest story in the country: DOGE has already squandered half a trillion dollars in 6 weeks. Not billion. half a trillion, $500 billion talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/irs-p...

That’s no way to win a race.

From 2010 to 2016 (latest data I have ), NIH research contributed to EVERY drug approved by the FDA

Rep. Omar released the following statement following President Donald Trump’s executive order to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education.

Welcome to autocracy. The Republic we have known for the last 240 years is gone. This is going to keep getting worse. Much worse. The courts mean nothing, the law means nothing, Congress is irrelevant. He is a malignant psychopath.

I strongly suspect this recent piece from Prof. David Knoll is about to be come extremely relevant and widely read. "Even a rogue marshal’s service, in other words, is not an insurmountable obstacle to courts enforcing the rule of law. If courts have the courage, the legal tools are there."

Hearing from the NIH clinical center: "NIH has a freeze on all purchasing cards [as of yesterday]. No exceptions for most hospital supplies. Clinical center ran out of cups and now is having patients wash down their pills with water from tiny medicine cups."

Target is facing a 40-day consumer boycott starting Wednesday over the company’s shift away from diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."
