"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."
This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

What's happening in Chicago is not normal.
The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

RFK Jr. vowed that he wouldn’t take away anybody’s vaccines.
Now, the CDC has adopted new guidance from his hand-picked vaccine skeptics—making it harder for families to protect their children from diseases like measles and chickenpox.

As governor, I have made it a priority to not only protect but also promote the fundamental right of women to choose if and when and how they will have children.
Every woman should be informed, empowered, and supported when she makes that decision.

I honestly don’t care about James Comey.
But I want to live in a democratic republic.
His indictment proves we live in a banana republic, where the autocrat personally orders indictments of his political enemies, and when his own officials refuse he finds new ones that will.

One of my favorite moments in the history of free speech: Larry Flynt publishing a satirical Campari ad featuring Jerry Falwell Sr. as an incestuous drunk who first had sex with his mother in an outhouse. Falwell sued. In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court found that satire is protected speech.

Many of your grandparents were the original Antifa.
They fought against the Nazis on the beaches of Normandy and in the forests of Ardennes.
They literally helped save the world from the scourge of fascism.
Today, under this regime, they would be declared terrorists.
