As per usual, Cuomo won't take no for an answer. Every elected Dem in New York needs to come out ASAP to reject this. You rally around the primary winner. Full stop. End of story. If Dems can't agree on that, the Party is a sham. Why would any primary loser behave differently in the future?

ICE just abducted a leading contender for the New York City mayorship for asking to see a warrant.
I need everyone to understand that they are not a law enforcement agency — they are Donald Trump’s secret police.

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process.
But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things.
That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

Antivax Ratfuckery
This is absolutely terrible news.
With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately.

How it should be done
Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family. Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe, and I am certain he will fight this challenge with his trademark resolve and grace. We pray for a fast and full recovery.

It's all a distraction from the Shitshow that is the current administration. Don't fall for the okey doke.

Just to be clear, conservatives blocked Trump’s bill because it wasn’t harsh enough—not because they were against the cuts.
Conservatives block Trump's big tax breaks bill in a stunning setback

THIS IS HUGE! TWO Phase I HIV vaccine clinical trials have demonstrated that a stepwise mRNA-based vaccination strategy can SUCCESSFULLY activate AND advance immune responses toward producing broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs), a CRITICAL milestone in HIV prevention. Let’s talk about that! 🧪🧵⬇️
