We eat one credit card every week because of microplastics. These tiny particles have been found in our Great Lakes, our blood, and our organs, yet we don’t know how they impact us. I introduced the Plastic Health Research Act so we can understand the harm and fight back for a healthier future.

Today we learned Andrew Cuomo is directly coordinating with Donald Trump, even as this President sends masked agents to rip our neighbors off the streets and guts the social services so many New Yorkers rely on.

It’s disqualifying and a betrayal of our city.

Home - Nurses United for Healthcare Integrity Who we are Frontline Defenders of Healthcare Integrity We believe that integrity and transparency are the pillars of quality healthcare in America. That’s why we organized Nurses United for Healthcare...

Nurses are crying in supply closets.

Skipping meals. Working double shifts.

And still being ignored by hospital execs.

This is what profit-first healthcare looks like.

It sure sounds like him to me. Great investigation by Judd Legum shows the letter was consistent with Trump's speech patterns; there is no enigma here.

Shift that $ to your @pbs.org station instead and you’ll do two good things at the same time. Do it.

Talk about The Wire, Sopranos, Game of Thrones all you want, but the greatest US television program ever made is Sesame Street. It's not even close. 50+ years of treating kids across class, ethnicity, religion not as mini-consumers...but as citizens with a stake in this world.

This is the one I always remember too. I sing it in my head often; and I loved the little girl's accent. Yes, the art was beautiful!

If Warner Bros. were smart, they'd snatch up Colbert and put him on HBO right away. The one-two punch of Colbert and Oliver would be appointment viewing.

Maybe they could get rid of Bill Maher while they were at it?

Hey @MarshaBlackburn any update on this? 🧐

The flooding in Central Texas has been devastating, especially in Kerr County. At least 43 people have been killed, including 15 children. Another 27 children are missing at a summer camp.

I know many of you are looking for ways to help or get help.

We now have a concentration camp in Florida.

Stop pretending any of this is normal.

If you claim to be a good person and you're not outwardly opposing this regime, you're not a good person.

Be human.

Just a reminder of who Thom Tillis is:

In 2013, as N.C. House Speaker, he passed a massive voter suppression law that was struck down because it targeted Black voters "with almost surgical precision.”

In the Senate he voted against the Freedom to Vote Act and the John R. Lewis Voting Right Act.

Approx. 2000 people showed up in Kingsport, Tennessee for No King's Day. We are here, even in red, rural Tennessee. So proud of my community!

I had this car in brown. It was my first car after college and it was the best. Drove both my babies in that car and hated to give it up! I still miss it.

Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation.

I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?

DOGE cut a CDC team as it was about to start a project to help N.C. flood victims The National Center for Environmental Health was hollowed out in the cuts of 10,000 federal health workers on April 1. That's the same day an assessment of people hurt in floods was set to begin.

North Carolina, don't forget this abandonment. Thom Tillis is up for reelection in 2026. Vote them all out.

A pastel colored graphic comparing real rabbits to stuffed bunnies. Real rabbits: “Soft and cute Live 8-12 years Generally hate being picked up Need lots of space and attention Poop a lot Have fur that sheds and has to be groomed Require regular vet care from a specialist and a varied diet with fresh produce” Stuffed bunnies “Soft and cute Live forever Can be picked up and held any time Require no space at all Don’t poop Don’t eat Don’t shed Never need to go to the vet”

If you know anyone planning to get their child live rabbits for Easter, please talk them out of it. Tell them to get a stuffed toy and sponsor a rescue bunny instead! 🐇 www.merrymacfarmsanctuary.org/meet-the-bun...

Republicans in Congress can repeal every tariff tomorrow and take Trump’s tariff authority away from him. But they choose not to. So every Republican in Congress owns EVERY SINGLE BIT of this. You can’t hide from the voters forever.
