I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t.

Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me.

If it was a “personal” and not a “presidential” meeting, why the presidential seal?

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Frustrated voters in Georgia's District 8 to hold town hall outside Rep. Scott's office Some Central Georgia residents plan to hold a town hall outside the congressman's Warner Robins office. Here's why

"He's been absent. I haven't seen him," said Snyder, an Army veteran. "He hasn't had a town hall. It's been a decade."

Snyder said the last town hall Rep. Austin Scott held in 2015 was restricted to veterans only, and she wasn't invited despite her military service."

Everything that is happening is a direct response to the actions of the current administration, and the Democrats need to respond to this obvious lie immediately.

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

I’m on my way to the Treasury Dept to demand answers. Billionaire-in-Chief Elon Musk has been given illegal access to Americans’ private info, including Social Security numbers.

Zero people voted for Elon to run our government. This is about oversight and transparency.

A tweet by Michael McFaul (@McFaul) that reads: "In 2012, when I was the US ambassador to Russia, Putin shut down USAID inside Russia. Why? Because their work supported free markets, democracy, human rights — ie causes that threatened Putin's dictatorship. Shutting down USAID is exactly what autocrats all over the world want."

The US constitution was built to avoid centralized power and tyranny.

It is not the constitution that is failing us.

It is the partisans who have promised to uphold the constitution that are failing us.

Women deserve to know the TRUTH about the impact of Texas' total abortion ban.

Today, I along with Rep. Gerry Connolly, Rep. Summer Lee, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley sent ANOTHER letter calling on
Texas to explain why it won't release maternal mortality data from the past 2 years after Dobbs.

Anyway as they pull bodies out of the Potomac bear in mind that the guiding ethos of Trumpism is that the TSA, NTSB, and FAA should be radically downsized and run by dudes whose main qualifications are loyalty are a willingness to say “cunt” a lot
