This is one of the most consequential bills the Congress has passed in this century. It is going to rip health care away from almost 14 million people, make the biggest cuts to food assistance in history, and raise prices across the board.

Republicans have just proposed defunding Planned Parenthood nationwide.
In doing so, they are telling women and people across the country that our healthcare doesn’t matter and that we are undeserving of care.
It’s time to stop this bill in its tracks.

Seeing patients in clinic who can’t get vaccinated while their families desperately try to keep them safe amidst a measles outbreak in Michigan is too much.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

Musk's $1M payments may or may not violate the letter of Wisconsin law, but he is clearly trying to buy an election. Regardless of what the courts do, his efforts can still be rejected at the ballot box.
