Truly nothing heals my soul like running into a queer friend at the farmers market. And standing still long enough to have other friends bump into you. And then there’s a gaggle of queers by the radish guy and you’re taking about a spring supper party.

First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year.
“'It’s a six-month production cycle,' Dr. Offit said. 'So one can only assume that we’re not picking flu strains this year.'"
Fundamentally, that's a form of mass murder.

"When they actually did the claw back, it caused the account to overdraft by $79.5 million," says NYC Comptroller Brad Lander on Trump yanking back funds from NYC.
"Citibank charged us a $15,000 overdraft fee. I'm happy to say, I reached out to Citibank, and they have refunded the overdraft fee."

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

High-key, some of the street-level bureaucrats that I see being the bravest and putting up the most resistance to this administration right now are teachers. They are on the frontlines, working with some of our most vulnerable folks in society, and are not batting an eye at noncompliance.

If you're with ICE or any other authority targeting innocent migrants, don't expect cooperation from me. Your failure is a blessing for humanity. I hope your job is soul-draining. I am actively rooting for your anxiety and frustration. I would rather gargle broken glass than make your life easier.
