Public health will always be political but it doesn’t have to be partisan. That’s a choice Republicans have made. And it’s making us sicker.

I voted once for Trump in 2016 - I've learned right wing media is just a propaganda machine... ask yourself if the principles of this administration are actually in line with the teachings of Jesus. All they're doing is exploiting the poor for the benefit of the billionaires.

Trump’s “mass deportation” is not deportation at all.
When people are captured without due process, that's kidnapping. When they’re sent to another country against their will, that's human trafficking. When they're put in a prison with no way to get out, that's a concentration camp.

We are demanding that Chuck Schumer resign for his continued betrayal of the American people.
If he does not willingly step aside, we are calling on the Senators in the Dem caucus to remove him and Dick Durbin from Senate leadership.

This is the correct explanation of what happened tonight👇
KBJ threaded the needle thanks to CA1’s unfinished business.
-if she denied the admin stay, the full SCOTUS woulda stepped in to override her.
-if she immediately referred the case to the full Court, they coulda dragged feet.
-instead she boxed them in to act quickly once she does refer the case.
