Illinois Gov. Pritzker ahead of Trump National Guard deployment: "To Chicagoans... Look out for your communities and your neighbours. Know your rights. Film things that you see happening... Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America."

So ridiculous. (And so familiar)

Sounds like this survivor of Epstein and Maxwell is saying she'd take Trump pardoning Maxwell as an admission of guilt, which sounds like a smart message.

Very much enjoyed coaching Nashville Aquatic Masters 5 and 6 AM practice this morning. Great to start the day with such terrific, motivated folks

I have precisely zero conflicting feelings about missing/dead children.

Medicaid is not a money laundering scheme and you are a sorry excuse for a Senator, Lindsey.

Today RFK Jr. fired every member of ACIP, the CDC committee that makes vaccine recommendations. Children will die. This is not ok. Lindsey Graham enabled this.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

FDA is set to restrict access to Covid shots for healthy people 6 months-64. I asked HHS if initial shots will be available to infants; no answer. One former CVS executive thinks healthy ineligible people who want a shot will face new costs. w / @maggieastor.bsky.social GIFT:

Such a small petty man: Trump removed a mural of Anthony Fauci from NIH which read, “Science is telling us that we can do phenomenal things if we put our minds and our resources to it.”

Sobering statistic! From Gallup: ~31 million Americans report they had to borrow an estimated total of $74 billion in the past 12 months to pay for healthcare for themselves/household member. Timely data since Medicaid/Affordable Care Act cuts are being discussed. news.gallup.com/poll/657041/...

Colorado's Rep Brittany Pettersen (D) flew cross-country with her one-month-old to vote against the GOP budget tonight. Dems ended up one vote short. Pettersen was part of an unsuccessful bipartisan push to allow new mothers to vote remotely. #copolitics

The next step in trying to dismantle Infectious Diseases research - dismantle @niaidnews.bsky.social - should surprise no one that this a R-led proposal. An unmitigated disaster for diagnosis, treatment and prevention of pathogens that affect everyone in the US www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.
