I spoke to Ali Velshi on his MSNBC show today about how the Democratic base does NOT have an identity crisis. We have a leadership crisis. Yes we do have some great Democratic fighters but they are the exception. We need more fighters given the stakes!

"mRNA is one of the most promising technologies for preventing and treating any kind of disease that you can imagine.

Stopping development could put cures of chronic diseases such as cancer and HIV out of reach."

RFK Jr.’s halt on mRNA vaccine research risks progress on curing illnesses
The research made promising inroads on developing vaccines for cancers and HIV, which both have racial and socioeconomic disparities

Black women are being used as test subjects for the limits of abuse of power. I want people to not ignore this since this always happens and then when the abuse arrives at people's doorstep, they're surprised.

CALL IT OUT NOW.

Walmart and Home Depot have decided to cooperate with ICE. 🤬

Both companies are allowing ICE agents to come onto their premises to arrest innocent shoppers.

If you weren’t boycotting them before, you can add them to your list!!

MUST SEE: Congresswoman Schrier nails conspiracy theorist and unfortunate HHS Secretary, RFK Jr., on the value of vaccines—and it’s glorious.

Schrier also happens to be the first pediatrician in Congress.

As the Trump administration slashes services at Social Security, they're making it harder for seniors to access their benefits.

Now they are trying to cover their tracks. In Congress, I'll continue to demand answers from this administration and protect this earned benefit for millions of Americans.
Social Security has stopped publicly reporting its processing times for benefits, the 1-800 number’s current call wait time and numerous other performance metrics, which customers and advocates have used to track the agency’s struggling customer service programs.
Social Security stops reporting call wait times and other metrics
The changes are the latest sign of the agency’s struggle with website crashes, overloaded servers and long lines at field offices amid Trump cutbacks.
