GOOD NEWS! A new cancer vaccine has shown progress in triggering POWERFUL and LASTING immune responses in patients with pancreatic AND colorectal cancer. The vaccine, known as ELI-002 2P, targets mutant KRAS proteins AND had a huge impact on PREVENTING or DELAYING cancer recurrence in patients.

There are many good science fiction novels. Not a single one that I have read delivers a happy vision of the future in which aged right-wing billionaires control the media.

A bit of peace and serenity on this Sunday morning.

“I've been outed as a class traitor and I'm proud to wear that badge.” @mehdirhasan.bsky.social asks @saikatforcongress.bsky.social if people should be skeptical of his campaign for the working class, despite being a multimillionaire himself. Watch the interview: open.substack.com/pub/zeteo/p/...

The East Wing was a huge part of the WH Christmas Tradition where the public enters. That MF destroyed a long time tradition. First Lady Jill Biden has so much grace & creativity giving us a short time of relieve after living through Melania's horrible decorations. www.threads.com/@alluring/po...

No one makes it entirely on their own. If you benefit from a functioning society, you owe something back. #TaxBillionaires

When Democrats hold the majority in Congress, we will hold anyone accountable who aids Trump’s corruption.

As Trump tears down the iconic East Wing to build his monstrous ballroom, I want to know all the facts about donors supposedly footing the bill. Many have merger reviews, litigation or other special interests pending where the Administration could help or look the other way.

More for them, less for us.

Nothing screams Marie Antoinette more than taking away SNAP & WIC before Thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall.

If one day of salary will turn them against us, then we are in huge trouble. I will continue to believe they will see through the game being played at their expense.

When Democrats win the House, accountability will be restored in Congress.

It's not lost on me that the part of the White House we are destroying is the part that has to do with women's history in the White House.

Americans should not be funding Donald Trump.

Trump skipped trial for leading a coup and stealing secrets—now he wants you to pay his $230 million tab? That’s some bullshit.

So appropriate

Here's that crack in politics Simon mentions a lot in his videos on the Hopium Chronicles Substack. Dems have done a great job on the messaging of the ACA and loss of health insurance. Now it's time for them to get much louder on the tariffs.

New polls from Gallup, YouGov, and out of Virginia show voters now trust Democrats more than Republicans to handle the economy. Nationally, Dems now have a 4-point margin on the issue — an 18-point shift away from Trump since 2023. Time to update your priors www.gelliottmorris.com/p/polls-show...

We’re standing with Black voters in North Carolina and fighting to strike down this illegal map.

Another win for the consumers. Thank you AG Tong.

With SNAP funding set to lapse, 42M children and families are at risk of experiencing hunger.  I am leading 213 House Democrats in calling on the USDA to use contingency reserve dollars and all legal authority to fund SNAP during this shutdown.   Read more ➡️ hayes.house.gov/index.cfm?a=...

I joined my colleague, Senator Jeff Merkley, on the floor yesterday to help him explain how democracies die. There isn't one explosive moment - it is a slow consistent attack on opposition political speech until the rules are so rigged, only the regime can win elections.

On his show, @adamfriedlandnyc.bsky.social asked me about what it's like to be at the center of or an awful, heartbreaking movement like the anti-gun violence movement.

Will Congressional Republicans stick with Trump as his failures, corruption, unpopularity, and madness become impossible to ignore? We will see..... New video and written analysis 👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/will-congr...

The ads are writing themselves for the midterms next year. Get ready to fight like hell to help Democrats take back Congress, watch impeachment hearings of his dumbass cabinet, hopefully witness the orange toad's death & help Dems build back what MAGA has stolen from us. Stay strong!

As of six weeks ago, 56% of surveyed Americans chose “dangerous dictator” over “strong leader” in a question about Trump. And a lot has happened in the meantime. prri.org/research/tru...

I am skeptical that Republicans will be able to pass a budget this year. Congress and the GOP are in a far greater meltdown than is being represented right now. More 👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/will-repub...

Current discourse not capturing level of GOP disarray on the 2026 budget: - It did not pass on Sept 30, as required by law - They failed to pass a "CR" to buy more time - Few appropriations bills are done, House AWOL - Convos now are on CR/punt, not budget itself 👇 www.politico.com/live-updates...

LOL...that's what the lower level German Nazi's said too.

This week people across CT will be receiving notices on how much their health insurance premiums will increase next year. I want to hear from you, please visit delauro.house.gov to tell me your story.

CT families are scared. The stories are devastating– a single father concerned about his twins with autism losing their care & many worried they can't keep up with the cost of their medication. Medicaid is more than just health care & I’m fighting to save it.

Feel like we need to get clarity from Johnson and Thune on whether Trump's inflationary tariffs are going to be in their final budget this winter, and whether they have the commitment from their conferences to vote for them. Their final budget is shaping up to be far uglier than the big ugly bill.

Thank you AG Tong. Hopefully, an end to this case. He broke the public trust. The CTGOP has been using this case to go after Gov. Lamont. Everything they do shows why they are still in the minority in our state. Keep CT Blue!

America's Sleeping Giant roared when police attacked civil rights marchers. And after tens of thousands of young Americans were killed in Vietnam. And when Nixon tried to cover up Watergate. Today it roars once more — at the tyrant in the Oval Office.

Where is the budget? Deadline for the new fiscal year's budget was September 30th. The government is out of money. House Republicans were ordered by Johnson to leave DC this week. Release the Epstein Files!!!

Defunding Planned Parenthood to score political points will deny healthcare to more than 1.1 million people nationwide. This is unlawful and deeply hurtful, and we’re fighting on every possible front to stop it.
