what if i told you there’s a better way to do politics than leading on your base for two months with your primary message, which is about the healthcare people need to live

not sure what democrats thought the reaction would be to their plan and these condescending followups. this is life and death for some, or the difference between a home and eviction for others. what were they thinking
How does your pathetic "plan" keep me alive through 2026? How does it pay the premium increase I face? How fucking dare you come on here with this bullshit.
1. We need to fight hard for a good ACA extension early in December and hold Republicans fiercely accountable if they betray everyone.

I'm listening in to the hearing on the Motion for TRO in the Boston SNAP case. We're waiting for Judge Talwani to take the bench.
I'll try to do the Comey hearing at 4:00 ET if possible, but guessing these two will overlap.

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run.
We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader.
If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇

Democratic leaders have failed us again. It's time to get new leaders.
After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...

1/ The FDA announced today that they are removing the black box warning from hormone replacement therapy ( #HRT). This label was added in 2002 after early studies showed increased stroke & breast cancer risk, but new research revealed crucial nuances: timing, dose, and delivery matter.

I want to say a huge thank you to Dr Harris, who has been a true beacon of integrity during this incredibly depressing & damaging time of Stanford-MAHA-anti-vaxx-Great Barrington Declaration anti-science kookiness
I spoke to CNN about how demoralizing it was to watch Stanford leadership stay silent while contrarians on campus launched unscientific attacks to stifle Stanford researchers. Now, those attacks have gone nationwide and much of MAHA leadership have ties to Stanford.

Here is my latest for @msnbc.com, on Trump's ill-advised concept of a plan for health care, which entails repealing the ACA, and redistributing private insurers' tax breaks to the people for what would essentially amount to an HSA, which is unhelpful if not wealthy. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

it’s clear that CDC as a regulatory and policy institution is finished. it’ll serve in some limited, more apolitical capacities moving forward. but we’re way past the point of no return. there’s too much damage. daskalakis said as much last month. time to focus on state/local

The thing about the "I voted against this" position Schumer is taking is that either he is trying to mislead Dem voters by implying he didn't support reopening right now, or he has no control over his caucus.

i think there’s so much room to grow for these politics of emphasizing the importance of community and collective action over individual greed. and i don’t think that has to be limited by any ideology. it just has to be real, like this
Restaurants aren’t just where you grab a meal. They’re where stories are shared, friendships are built, and communities take shape.
