The FDA is getting rid of the Covid booster because . . . it's concerned about anti-vaxx sentiments. No, really.

The Trump admin is dismantling Freedom of Information Act offices. Then the offices send out emails like, “Hello, the FOIA office has been placed on admin leave and is unable to respond to any emails.” The lengths this admin will go to ensure zero transparency with the American people is astounding.

Required reading. If what you read disturbs you and pushes you to protest, and to call your elected representatives, you’re on the right side of history. If you’re sitting back comfortably, not worried about the descent into authoritarianism, shame on you.

I'm grateful for ACA. It's been so helpful in my own life as I work for a small business which as not been able to offer health insurance. It's been a huge blessing.
I broke my ankle last year and if not for having HC, I would have had to pay $30K+ out of pocket.

/2 Effective defiance and subversion of fascism requires lots of Rachel Cohens and lots of people observing what happens to them. I’ve made fun of Skadden for as long as I knew what it was, and I’m a critic of BigLaw, but I support and applaud her for standing up. Be Rachel Cohen, not Paul Weiss.
