Texas is blocking the review of the deaths of pregnant women post-Dobbs to hide the consequences of their deadly law.

Rep. Raskin, Rep. SummerLee, Rep. Pressley and I are calling on Texas HHS to explain why they're hiding the deaths of Texas women.

Let’s be clear. Elon Musk killed a bipartisan bill to fund the government in order to pave the way for billions in tax cuts for himself and his billionaire friends at the expense of hardworking American families.

Who elected President Musk anyway?

Fuck cancer. Especially pediatric cancer. These people want to punish these precious little kids to pay for tax cuts for the wealthiest corporations in human history. Shame on them.

Honest question: If Republicans are serious about cutting wasteful spending and being fiscally responsible, why is their first fight to raise the debt limit with a bloated defense budget and add to our national debt?

Hey @RandPaul — maybe not a great idea to install a guy as speaker who can’t get security clearances in part because of his ties to a murderous dictator who openly wants America’s economy to crash and the country to fall apart? 🤷🏻 www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

These people eliminated 190 million dollars in childhood cancer research money to pay for tax cuts for the wealthiest corporations in human history. I’m a no.

I can hardly think of a better example of the moral decay in modern health care than a Goldman analyst noting that biotech cures for diseases like hepatitis are cool and all, until their success diminishes the business opportunity for pharmaceutical manufacturers.

What happens when the Communications team gets let loose in the lab? Group Leader Dr @sarah-guiziou.bsky.social invited us along to her lab for a festive #STEM #engagement activity - "painting" with bacteria. A great method for introducing #microbiology and #synbio to young audiences. 🦠🧫🖌️🎄

We can't sit by while dangerous, bigoted language is passed in the NDAA. This would be the first anti-LGBTQ+ statute enacted by Congress since the 1990s. Unacceptable. I'm fighting to remove this language from the NDAA and urge my colleagues to do the same. (Part 1 of 2)
