The US health care system is broken & wildly expensive.

The function of a health care system is not to provide billions in profits for insurance & drug companies. It is to provide quality care as a human right.

The time is NOW to pass Medicare for All.

We spend almost twice as much per capita on healthcare as any other country on Earth. It’s time to change that

With mounting pressure from the city of Cambridge and students and faculty, Harvard does the right thing and tells Trump to go fuck himself regarding his attempt to force anti-DEI polices on the university! Other universities, take notice!

If you don’t think that at some point he’s going to show more interest in the 5,044 nuclear weapons he controls, you’re as deluded as the people who thought he’d never tank the stock market and the economy.

After getting some rest, I am in awe of everyone who continues to lift their voice and speak out. This is a moment for our country, and we must make a choice about the America we want to be.

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Trump and Musk are going after Social Security, Medicaid, the VA, and public education.

In what universe, in what world, in what religion is it morally acceptable to cut programs for hungry children in order to reward the wealthy?

I have talked to veterans all over the country. They’re not happy that, when the VA is already understaffed, Musk wants to dismember the VA by laying off 83,000 employees.

A commitment has been made to those who put their lives on the line to defend us. We must not betray them.

Elon Musk's plan to cut the Social Security Administration's staff by 50% would cause 37,000 more Americans to die each year waiting to receive their disability benefits while the average wait time to collect these benefits would jump to 412 days.

That is beyond unacceptable.
