We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.
A new generation that renews the “we” in “we the people.”
Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

I'm getting more inspired to reach out to my senators, even though they are staunchly GOP as can be. Emails just sent!
RFK is unfit to lead HHS! His lies about vaccines put lives at risk.
Stop his confirmation.

Your dedicated government career health scientists are no longer allowed to communicate their findings with you without it getting funnelled through a Trump appointee for approval.
This is censorship of potentially life-saving information.

We need to pay attention to his nominees and fight back as able.
Last year, when I was at MSNBC, I did a 10-minute deep-dive into RFK Jr's anti-vaxxer role in the measles outbreak that killed dozens and dozens of kids in Samoa.
I hope every Senator voting in his confirmation process for HHS knows about this crucial and awful story:

I cannot adequately express how alarming this is.
RFK Jr.: “Thank you [to the NIH] for public service. We’re going to give infectious disease a break for about eight years.”
Kennedy wants to take a “break” from studying infectious diseases like COVID-19 and measles.

RFK Jr. comes ‘home’ to his anti-vaccine group, commits to ‘a break’ for U.S. infectious disease research
He has suggested without evidence that researchers and pharmaceutical companies are driven by profit to neglect chronic conditions.

While you and Josh are correct that surgery and anesthesiology provide amazing breakthroughs, may of those patients are already ill. The beauty of vaccines is you prevent serious problems from ever happening.
No, adjustable surgical table…obviously
