Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

Am all for cost-effective care. I have worked w mostly Medicaid and Medicare patients my entire career and have squeezed blood from a stone...but don't put this on doctors! We don't know how much things cost. We don't know what the hospital charges. We have no SW or admin support. JFC

I had to compose myself before posting—because this breaks a part of my soul. If you’re a contractor with a segregation policy, say it loud—so non-white dollars don’t fund your business. It won’t go how you think. And if anyone uncovers businesses doing this, put them on blast. #NAACP #BlackSky

A teacher in Idaho has been told to remove posters reading "Everyone is welcome here" - specifically because it features different skin tones. As I wrote last week, this is a global political movement that has explicitly set the goal of eradicating the very concept of equality.

This man has a green card. Has no warrants or legal issues. Was held at Logan, stripped naked and reportedly violently interrogated. Logan is where the h1b nephrologist is being held as well after coming back from seeing family. WHAT IS HAPPENING IN BOSTON? www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2025...

Brown H1B nephrologist is being held at Logan after going to see her family in Lebanon. Apparently got visa and was good to go. Not being allowed to d/w counsel. Please amplify

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

FYI, I know you are all upset & I’m devastated. We’ve tried to mobilize people from all over to get the Senate Dems to do what’s right. In about 15 minutes, I am planning to be disappointed. Please take out your anger, appropriately by sending letters, emails, making calls & supporting primary

Losing a generation of scientists. 😔

People are out protesting in Washington D.C. against Donald Trump and Elon Musk, the CR, and Chuck Schumer. More protesters need to be everywhere!

Quite something that Schumer had his NYT op-ed justifying his surrender ready to go tonight while not informing the public (including his constituents) of his plans. He seems to think this is just an old-school pr battle. He's never been more wrong.

This is one of the times when my hatred for weakness in Dems makes it unbearable to even look at them. The one thing we know for sure is that Dems will NEVER EVER fight as hard to protect us, as Republicans will fight to harm and attack us. It’s gutting. And then your inbox is full of

Remember: whatever happens from here on out the Dems who vote for this GOP budget are complicit. Because they willingly surrendered the power they had to stop it. The idea that allowing what’s been happening the last two months to continue is a way to avoid “blame” is madness

The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.

Meiselas: That’s our message to you from the MeidasTouch Network: Grow a spine. Vote against cloture. Vote against the CR. The American people are with you. Stop this hostile government takeover. Fight for the people.

Donald Trump is LITERALLY shutting our government down as we speak. WITHOUT CONGRESSIONAL AUTHORITY. He will continue to do this if they pass the CR. What the actual fuck don’t the Democrats understand about this?!!!

AOC needs to run for the Senate and take Chuck Schumer’s seat. “To see some Senate Democrats even consider acquiescing to Elon Musk. I think it is a huge slap in the face, and I think that there's a wide sense of betrayal." She nailed it. We’re tired of it.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Okay so, is Schumer voting for the CR because shutting down the government is worse? If so, why? And does the DNC support it? If not, why not? The problem with all this is that WE DO NOT KNOW.

🚨🚨🚨🚨 Not a SINGLE Democratic senator should vote for the Republican spending bill. Doing so would simply further embolden and empower Trump in his effort to destroy our government and the vital services it provides. STAND YOUR GROUND AND FIGHT — LIKE HOUSE DEMOCRATS DID!! 🚨🚨🚨🚨

@schumer.senate.gov please please please vote no on cloture for the CR!! Make Rs negotiate a clean CR and not this nonsense! This is the only damn card you have left. Jesus dont fold! Govt shut downs are not great, but what's worse is the chaos currently raining down on us. VOTE NO!

CDC, we need to prepare. There’s a real risk we'll be asked to sign off on biased study design, faulty data, and disinformation. We need to think ahead. What is your line in the sand? Remember, compliance is given. We swore an oath to protect. We stay to fight but we can leave loudly if we have to.

Individual Border Patrol agents knew they were doing this, and a supervisor signed off on it.

AOC slammed Mike Johnson, saying: “You run the government. If you have the votes, then go ahead. If you need Democrats, then you need to negotiate with Democrats. Those are your two options. Blaming someone else because your shoes are untied isn’t one.”

I'm furious. Who is "prolife" again??

You’ve probably heard the FBI is accusing Habitat for Humanity of fraud. It’s actually even worse. It’s not just the FBI, it’s the DOJ, Treasury & the EPA accusing EVERYONE who received Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund $ of fraud. #DemVoice1 Complete list of the accused…
