A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Fact/Reality Check: None of the top TEN leading killers in the US are infectious diseases. Meaning, RFK Jr’s idea of “refocusing” the CDC on just infectious disease might fool some, but is an unserious and nonsensical idea. Empathy for the many HHS workers suffering under this regime.

thinking of one of abraham lincoln's great quotes this morning: "As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy."

every single video I've seen of the hearing today, Democratic Senators (including ones I don't even like) were pounding the shit out of administration officials. if the media will not play those clips, it's up to make them go viral, show our friends & family, etc. They did something. Reward them.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: Sen. Schumer understands political strategy. And he is right that that type of resistance worked eight years ago. But it just seems that now is the time to break glass. It's not the time for politics as usual.

On a daily basis, I marvel at how many people in putative positions of power are willing to help obliterate American democracy. The US has faced a series of very easy moral tests in the past decade and it’s staggering how often people in once-respected positions have failed.

Worth noting that it was Chief Justice Roberts who named Judge Boasberg to head of the FISA Court. It remains an open question whether the Trump administration cares about pissing off the Chief Justice, but if they do, this won’t help.

“Corruption is patrimonialism’s Achilles’ heel because the public understands it and doesn’t like it. It is not an abstraction like ‘democracy’ or ‘Constitution’ or ‘rule of law.’ It conveys that the government is being run for them, not for you.” search.app/B3oTfWts5TgJ...

Veterans electing to work in the Federal government have chosen to serve the people of the United States a second time. They deserve the same respect from our Nation that they've given to us when they chose to continue to make our country a better place.
