"Representative Gillette’s comments were disorderly behavior of the highest order, reflect a broader pattern of inciting political violence that put lives at risk, and should not be tolerated."

Take on crypto corruption at a virtual rally with Chris Murphy and Tina Smith this Tuesday, 6:30pm ET / 3:30pm PT. The Senate may soon take up a bill that’d enshrine crypto corruption and cement a massive giveaway to crypto billionaires. #NoKings @indivisible.org us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...?

In the first quarter of 2025, farm bankruptcies increased by 95%

Remember: the policies leading to bankruptcy are purposeful. Our food supply is in danger…there is no better way to bring a country to its knees than having control of its food supply.

"Small government" = "a government that does nothing for you." There's a chasm between those like Vought and those who believe government should provide services to us. All of us. "Deconstruct Washington's bureaucracy" is a polite way to say he's destroying every bit of govt that works for people.

Our privatized health care system is unaffordable for millions of working Arizonans, which the ACA helped to fix. Now billionaires think even that's too much. Remember what the govt shutdown is about: media outlets are "keeping score" without discussing the stakes: remember what we're fighting for!

The β€œproblem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

We need an HHS Secretary who respects science and does not make policy based on conspiracy theories.

Vaccines are safe and effective.

The Trump regime wants to let AI decide which Medicare patients receive care (while giving AI companies a profit-incentive to deny coverage).

This cruel ploy comes as Medicare faces an urgent funding crisis thanks to the GOP’s Big Ugly Bill.

RFK lied to my face. He said he hadn’t fired any scientists.

RFK has fired over 3,000 scientists from HHS. It’s shameful. He must resign.

The Boots Theory A literal interpretation

The Boots Theory is an economic theory that people in poverty have to buy cheap and subpar products that need to be replaced repeatedly, proving more expensive in the long run than more than the expensive items the wealthy only need to buy once.
