One year ago today, I was invited to the White House to celebrate World AIDS day to honor the lives of those who we have lost to HIV/AIDS.
This year, the Trump Administration announced that they won't be recognizing World AIDS Day. 🧵👇

I sure as hell hope Senate Dems don’t take two oxen & a goat, with a promise of four chickens in the future, in trade to reopen government.
It’s about healthcare.
It’s about SNAP assistance.
It’s about Trump stealing money Congress approves.
It’s about the American people.

26 billionaires spent over $22 million to beat Zohran Mamdani.
Why? Because regular people came together around an agenda that prioritized making life easier for more people. It beat big money.
That is how we win.
