very excited to learn that the constitution allows the federal government to disappear people to foreign gulags beyond the reach of any judicial remedy

The GOP is trying to sell the Save Act as protection for our elections. It’s actually a voter suppression law.
This Act will create red tape for millions of married women. Anyone with a name change, will need a passport to vote.
Call Congress to tell them to vote no!

I’m here to tell you what should already be abundantly clear: that simple truths, all around us, reveal things that are blatantly obvious.

Here I react to the shameful behavior of American leaders and media toward the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.

Trump and Vance act as if the problem is that Ukraine is resisting an ongoing Russian invasion. The problem is the ongoing Russian invasion. If they want to use American power to stop the war, apply it to the aggressor. Abusing the victim is not going to end a war of aggression.

The right’s “waste and fraud” frame is a replay of the same participatory propaganda games they played w/ “voter fraud” in 2020, “censorship” in 2022, and any number of anti-immigration frames in 2024. Set the frame, inspire the generation of “evidence” to fit it, amplify that evidence, and repeat.

Disappointed to see Senator Bill Cassidy, a fellow physician, vote to confirm RFK Jr.
This isn’t about politics. It’s about public trust in science, medicine, and the people we entrust with leadership. We need representatives who stand up for facts, not conspiracy theories.
