Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

Today, I'm signing legislationΒ to safeguard our elections and the voice of every voter.

It's now illegal to use contests or payments to get people to register to vote.

And in the 2026 election, voters have the chance to repeal our state's ban on the public financing of elections.

I am saddened at the passing of Jane Goodall from her earthly form.

First I thought β€œsome goodness has left us today”

But nothing ever really goes away. it just changes. So I open myself to taking on some of that goodness, that energy to make the world better.

Did you know that fevers in early pregnancy also cause genetic mutations in fetuses and resulting developmental abnormalities? Know how we treat and prevent that? Yeah, Tylenol.

Did we all take organic chemistry & the MCAT & miss the social part of our early 20’s and work 80 hours a week for 3+ years for the brain worm guy who doesn’t know what a p-value is to destroy our nation’s public health system? No.

Time to lean into our expertise and speak up.

Everyone with their head down "focusing on the science": Our grandchildren are going to ask us someday what we did in this moment to protect their rights - what will you say??

First Colbert, now Kimmel.

Last-minute settlements, secret side deals, multi-billion dollar mergers pending Donald Trump's approval.

Trump silencing free speech stifles our democracy. It sure looks like giant media companies are enabling his authoritarianism.
