Orlando City Commissioner Tony Ortiz just switched from Republican to Democratic.
“The Republican Party is not the party I signed up with... The marginalization of Latinos and immigrants—many of whom have helped build this country—is not leadership. It’s fear-based politics.”

Put aside the lies and the open defiance of the Supreme Court, as well as the cruelty, and ask yourself: who talks like this? This is the *official* account of the *White House* - is it being run by a six year old?

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.
If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Watched the new captain America movie this weekend. Would I say it’s my favorite? No. But, it wasn’t my least favorite either. It was okay. I think the pacing was slow, but the acting was good. #mcu #captainamerica

This is a really excellent breakdown of the indirect cost impacts by state 🧪
NIH's proposal to cut the grants it pays for medical research will not just hurt elite coastal universities.
Who else has a lot at stake? The states of Missouri and North Carolina. The University of Texas Cancer Center. Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.

Amongst all this, the scariest part is that there are people looking at this and rejoicing—people who are our neighbors, our family members, our coworkers. Today I shed tears not because America is broken, but perhaps because it cannot be fixed again.
