I cant get over how absolutely phony Graham Platners whole campaign has ended up being. The dude spams my inbox on a *daily basis* (no idea how he got my email bc I sure as fuck didnt donate to him) & every single one is "Ds suck & I hate Ds who send endless fundraising emails, plz give me $"

When the news media say the U.S. attack on Venezuela “raises legal questions,“ that’s code for “the president is violating the law, but no one is going to stop him.”

EXCLUSIVE: @laurenweberhp.bsky.social & I have spent the last year collecting school+county-level vaccination data from across the US and found that only about 28% of counties now have herd immunity for kindergartners from measles—that leaves about 5.2mn kids unprotected.

U.S. vaccination rates are plunging. Look up where your school stands.
Take a look to see what the kindergarten measles vaccination rates are in your area.
