“The dismantling of USAID, according to models from Boston University epidemiologist Brooke Nichols, “has already caused the deaths of six hundred thousand people, two-thirds of them children,” Gawande wrote.” hsph.harvard.edu/news/usaid-s...

I raised over $400,000 for Collins last opponent and this guy is asking whether I’ve donated to her campaign. You know who actually VOTED for her, multiple times? Graham fucking Platner.

#They are exhausting.... it's something new every day.... he wasn't put in that position to help anyone.... he was put there to harm.

This Jewish American Heritage Month, we celebrate the unbreakable spirit, moral courage, and extraordinary contributions of Jewish Americans. From the fight for civil rights to science, art and culture, Jewish Americans have enriched our nation profoundly.

So, shouldn’t blow up boats, shouldn’t murder your own citizens. Got it.

Bernie-Come-Lately Bros are making a grave mistake in still trying to relitigate 2016, because Hillary supporters have 10 years of battle-hardened experience swatting down their nonsense. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8p8w5Ve/

Why does Platner refuse to debate David Costello? And why is the local and national media letting him get away with it?

Ranked choice gives Maine options for Senate. David Costello is one with experience.

80% of pregnancy-related deaths in the U.S. are preventable. The Momnibus is not just a bill. It’s a promise to moms that we are working to address this crisis — they deserve to live, and to see their children grow up and thrive.

ICYMI: Last week, Pete Hegseth continuously used an antisemitic term when testifying in front of Congress. @rosen.senate.gov stood up for the Jewish community and called him out for this language. Hegseth should apologize immediately – but that would require him to have character.

What's the protocol on seeing someone wearing a MAGA hat in a Mexican restaurant today? You can slap that shit off their head, right?

1/ On Saturday, my grandpa asked me “Do I really need a spring Covid shot?” I’m guessing others are wondering too, so I wanted to pop on with an answer. My answer: it’s messy, but I’d say yes—especially for older adults or those who are immunocompromised. Here's the current data 👇

This is like if he wanted to help diabetics 'quit' insulin.

*taps the sign about the 2016 primary results because of that dumbass wehraboo’s 12-minute video talking with a 3-time Trump voter who probably relates with him being “rabidly anti-Hillary” & evidently unable to do math*

George I’m going to let you in on a secret. This is the reason we are where we are today.👇🏿 I’m going to suggest you look at the replies to my post about Black & Brown folks losing their voting rights and see that it’s only assholes from you demographic replying like this. Y’all are the problem

Today's newsletter centers on one person: the legendary Tina Charles, who retired on Tuesday morning. Andrew writes about her legacy as one of the last true NYC women's prep basketball stars, her on court accolades and impact that will last far beyond the game. https://ow.ly/Avkw50YVeAz

Yes again. Last week CDC. Now FDA. Blocking evidence of vaccine safety. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/05/u...

You should be deeply embarrassed if you find yourself posting like this. Rethink your choices. Rethink your priorities.

YouTube has removed one of my videos because I reported that women can still access abortion pills. I shared *factual & medically accurate* information about women's health—yet the platform says I'm "facilitating the sale of illegal drugs"

I should also say that not one of the people or organizations that has endorsed Graham has ever spoken to me. Why should anybody believe an endorsement from someone who never actually considered the other candidates? That’s not an endorsement, that’s just favoritism.

🚨 Anti-Vaxxer Nation! 👇 F.D.A. Blocked Publication of Research Finding Covid and Shingles Vaccines Were Safe www.nytimes.com/2026/05/05/u... "The withdrawal of the studies is the latest step by the administration to try to limit access to vaccines."

The choices in the 2024 election were: Candidate 1: "They're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats, they're eating the pets". "I will be a dictator on day one" Candidate 2: I will create will create an Opportunity Economy where everyone has a chance to succeed. Voters: Candidate 1, please.

I'm at a border security business conference in Phoenix, where Tom Homan just threatened to target New York with deportation roundups. Story coming shortly.

Gonna maintain, again, that where this stuff failed was politics. Yes, a HUGE part of that is on Biden, who could have used his bully pulpit But a HUGE part of that is on all of us. FFS, Jack Smith released a 150-page doc in the middle of election, and virtually everyone simply ignored it.

Me: This was a political problem, all of us failed. Whiners: Wah wah wah wah, I want to outsource it to lawyers so I don't have to get off my ass. That's how you lose. And I promise you, the far right did not outsource.

This is Peanut- found alone in a basement- they believe she was there for a month by herself- to a MAGA kill shelter where she’ll be killed unless we can get this pup the fuck out! She’s not in the NBA playoffs but she would ♥️ 2watch them w/u! Pls repost her!

Vote Blue No Matter Who presumes that the candidate in fact holds blue values A Totenkampf tattoo does not demonstrate Democratic values, nor does blaming rape survivors, nor does sitting for a podcast interview and being a "longtime fan" of rightwing antisemite Nate Cornacchia.

And there it is. No regard for the country or the profession he serves. No regard for the harm his bent knee furthered. "I got mine".

It always comes back to Bernie being denied his rightful place by those…”Dem primary voters in southern states”

Platner is now on video denying the 2016 and 2020 democratic primaries as fair. He has got to go. This is insulting. x.com/lisatalmadge...

Don't believe the horror stories you read on social media. A comprehensive new report from @cidrap.bsky.social's Vaccine Integrity Project, which includes 274 studies, finds HPV vaccines are very safe and incredibly effective, reducing cervical cancer 80%. www.cidrap.umn.edu/human-papill...

I’d take this over a Tesla or a bmw ..

New details have been released about Palm Beach International Airport, recently renamed to Donald J. Trump International Airport. Their new contract requires the airport to purchase Trump merchandise from Trump's own licensor, directly violating the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution.

The Hippie Fascists are indistinguishable from Evangelicals in that they both believe that things like depression, anxiety, even addiction, are moral failings, not medical issues. The Times helping to promote that view is dangerous.

Ask yourself why Platner’s faux reachout video to Republicans is a video where he proffers a conspiracy theory that Bernie won two presidential primaries that “the powers that be“ stole from him. Does that sound like Republica outreach?

The WNBA has released a statement on Tina Charles’ retirement: “Tina Charles has defined excellence and consistency throughout one of the most remarkable careers in WNBA history … Tina’s impact on the game will be felt for generations to come.”

On World Asthma Day, we're sounding the alarm: wildfire smoke is stealing our kids' breath. 🌬️😡 Climate change is fueling longer, hotter wildfire seasons—and the smoke doesn't stay where the flames burn. It drifts thousands of miles and lands in our children's lungs. #momsky

The only people who could possibly have predicted that Trump's 2nd term as President would be an absolute disaster is anyone who was alive during his 1st term as President.

Historians, take note: all wars are ongoing, except the 8 that Trump ended. The Peloponnesian War now enters its 2,457th year, with no end in sight.

It's a sign of respect when people shoot at you, says demented old fool prattling contentedly to his bootlickers. Vote Democratic.
