Today, out-of-control masked federal agents killed another American, Alex Pretti, a VA ICU nurse.
Trump needs to end this chaos and withdraw his ICE battalions from Minneapolis.
The Senate must vote down funding this slaughter of our people.

Our country was founded on resistance to a tyrant.
Attorney General Pam Bondi: "Our country was founded on law enforcement"
Bondi: "It's extremely organized. The signs they have are all matching, they're well written. And look at what's happening today. How did these people go out & get gas masks? These protesters. Would you know how to walk out on the street and buy a gas mask? Think about that. We're not gonna have it"

Dr. Graham tells the facts correctly. Addyi misinformation does not help women or their sex lives.
Addyi is of limited effectiveness and has side effects... also, the % of women who experience sexual "dysfunction" is much lower than most papers/media quote, as distress about sexual problems is still often not assessed
More women experience sexual dysfunction than men. The FDA took 6 months to approve Viagra for men. It took 6 yrs to approve Addyi for sexual dysfunction in pre-menopausal women & 10 more yrs to approve it for post-menopausal women under age 65. time.com/7341012/sexu...

I like nurses. I depend on nurses. I’m sure I would have liked Alex Pretti. Only 37, he had 30 more years of being kind and helpful. It’s tragic that he was murdered by ICE in Minneapolis.

We are seeing incredible acts of solidarity today in Minnesota and across the country.
The next days and months and years will require this from us — and demand our courage. Be prepared.

Thank you, Bernie.
At a time when ICE is rounding up 5-year-olds, terrorizing communities and killing American citizens, the last thing we should be doing is increasing its funding.
I will vote NO on the upcoming spending bill to fund Trump's domestic army.

As the recently removed exhibit in Philadelphia read, “history is not neat.” Instead of hiding from our history, we should learn from it.
I support the exhibit and what it means to American history and my neighbors across the river — an ignorant administration can’t hide the truth forever.

After protestors vandalized ICE vehicles in July, Trump told agents they had his “Total Authorization” to use “whatever means necessary” against protestor “THUGS.”
Whatever means necessary.
The responsibility rests at the top.

In dropping government recommendations that children routinely receive shots for four diseases, RFK Jr.'s allies believe they are closer to a top priority: allowing people who claim vaccine injuries can more easily sue vaccine makers in civil court.
The big plan behind Kennedy’s overhaul of childhood vaccines
Here’s how the downgrading of shots could make it easier for people who claim vaccine injuries to sue for millions, driving manufacturers from the market.

We can all agree that dictator Nicolas Maduro deserves no sympathy, but recasting petro-motivated military aggression as a battle against narco-terrorism isn’t law enforcement, it’s subverting the law—namely, Article I of our Constitution. [1/2]
