The FDA just approved lenacapavir for HIV prevention.

It costs $25 to make. Gilead is charging $28,218/year.

If we were serious about ending HIV, it would be free.

But Gilead’s lobbying power protects greed.

This system is completely broken.

‘HIV-ending’ drug could be made for just $25 per patient a year, say researchers
As regulator prepares to approve Lenacapavir in the US, campaigners are urging the manufacturer, Gilead, to make it ‘available and affordable for all who need it’

Random reminder that banning members of Congress from trading stock is a total no brainer.

They can use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you.

Make no mistake — it’s legalized corruption.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks.

We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

The Milwaukee Bar Association's poll shows that Judge Crawford exceeds expectations on judicial temperament, impartiality, and integrity.

In the poll, Judge Crawford handily leads Schimel in every category, while attorneys raise serious flags about Brad Schimel’s judgment.

Hundreds of Wisconsin high school students walked out of class & into the Capitol, demanding better mental health resources & an end to gun violence. These brave teens perfectly exemplify civil nonviolent resistance. Let them inspire you as unified, repeated resistance creates meaningful change.

Just met with Senator Murkowski to share my concerns about Kash Patel’s nomination as FBI Director. This nomination disrespects the dedication and sacrifices of the brave men and women of the FBI. The Bureau needs trusted, impartial leadership. This isn’t it.

One thing I've been thinking about a lot lately is how the US press just doesn't really talk about the fact that what happened here in November is happening worldwide (in part because it's not honestly talking about what's happening here) and is a part of a worldwide effort to destabilize democracy.
Germany's government collapsed on Monday as Chancellor Olaf Scholz lost a confidence vote in Parliament, ending the unpopular three-party coalition government he has led since 2021.

Here's what to know.

A democracy cannot survive when a single private citizen can effectively purchase the presidency.

And I won’t even mention that his citizenship was most likely obtained through fraud.

After the election, a reader asked, “What do we do now? Where is our safe place?” I didn’t know the answer until I was asked.

We are the safe space. You and I, and all the Americans who share our commitment to what is right and good—we will find the hope.
