The people who lost children and other loved ones in the Texas floods are owed honest answers from officials. They should be told why flash flood warnings issued hours earlier were not conveyed to people in the path of the water. They don’t need more prayers from politicians. They need answers.

The arguments against birthright citizenship aren't credible exercises of intellectual exploration; they are anti-constitutional themselves.
The purpose of the Citizenship Clause was to end the debate. Entertaining anything other than citizenship by native birth is an attack on the 14th Amendment.

Requiring people to work to access healthcare is a classic eugenicist platform. It says that only those who are healthy and fit enough for jobs are worthy of care.
The GOP plan to impose Medicaid work requirements is cruel and grotesque; it should be labelled as such by media.

The GOP says they’re going after “fraud and abuse” in Medicaid, but what they’re really doing is cutting hundreds of billions of dollars from a program that delivers care to the poorest Americans.

The US has surpassed 1,000 measles cases this year. It’s only the second time the US has hit this dangerous milestone in the past 30 years and it’s only May. This is the Make America Sick Again agenda.

The rule of law is all or nothing and must apply equally to everyone. If there's no rule of law for some people in America, then there's no rule of law for any of us.

A Christianity that is offended by someone advocating for the poor, the immigrant, the hungry, the sick, the marginalized, and the oppressed, is a Christianity that is offended by Jesus.
Therefore, it is no longer Christianity.

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

Whenever you hear someone sneer about scientific research that seems useless to them — “they’re studying the spit of lizards?!” — remind them that’s exactly how we got Ozempic.

No one is handling things well. I remind folks: this is abnormal, disturbing, but you’re not powerless. Host a dinner, educate loved ones. Media: challenge the status quo. Lawyers: sign up for pro bono work. Corporate friends: affirm human rights, equity & benefits. Start small, but start now.
