In 2019, RFK Jr visited Samoa to spread anti-vax lies, spurring a measles outbreak that led to the deaths of 83 people - mostly children. We can’t let that tragedy repeat in Texas. The MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing measles. Let’s stop the spread. www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-m...

Celebrating 216 day and forgetting the unbelievable craziness in our world for a little while.

Today, Rep. Fogle and I sent a letter to AG Bailey demanding answers on Missouri’s role in Texas v. Becerra, a lawsuit challenging disability rights under Section 504. Missourians deserve to know why their AG is targeting the rights of people with disabilities. #moleg

Serious flood threat tomorrow TN and OH valleys. High risk (Level 4 of 4) usually ends in bad news. Region has been hit repeatedly with precipitation this month-soil already saturated.

NEW: The U.S. Forest Service plans to fire 3,400 people across all levels, roughly 10% of the agency. The cuts come one day after the "deferred resignation" deadline as DOGE pushes to more aggressively shrink the federal workforce. w/ Jordan Wolman subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2025...

So it turns out when you DON'T go woke, you go broke. Trump's New DEI? Dying Economy and Inflation. It's only two weeks in and Trump is Making America Broke Again! www.forbes.com/sites/dereks...

Texas has some of the best hospitals in the country, but too many children and families still can’t access the care they need. I met with leadership from the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital to discuss how they’re developing innovative advancements in pediatric care.

If an NFL coach gives me all the credit for his Super Bowl win, the least he can do is send me a ring.

This morning - “A federal judge, citing a risk of “irreparable harm,” has temporarily restricted Elon Musk’s government efficiency team from accessing a critical Treasury Department payment system.” www.cnn.com/2025/02/08/p...

Republicans want to slash Medicaid — a death sentence for thousands of Americans. Medicaid provides health care to more than 37 million kids, funding for 2/3 of seniors in nursing homes & is 40% of the revenue for community health centers.  We must EXPAND Medicaid, not cut it.

#gardeningfeed Behind on Winter Sowing, but got a few done.

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

Senator Raphael Warnock ahead of the vote on RFK Jr. for HHS Secretary: "I simply do not trust him to oversee the CDC. He's unqualified, and I dare say that everybody here knows it." BOOM! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I just voted NO on RFK Jr. to lead HHS. None of his empty promises could undo the harm his past statements have already had on people’s health. He’s a flip-flopper, a conspiracy peddler, and a danger to our country. He’s driven by self-interest, not by protecting Americans.

Dorothy B. Porter changed libraries 💜 The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization. Enter Dorothy B. Porter 🧵

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"
