Many Americans are hurting right now because of the shutdown, but caving to Republicans won’t end the hurt.

Trump and his lapdogs continue to assert that they alone have the power to slash whatever programs they don’t like.

Deals with this regime are meaningless.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Senate reaches deal on ending the shutdown Democrats are coalescing around a bipartisan agreement to fund the government.

This is not a deal — it's an empty promise.

Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families.

Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Reports of ICE ads on #Spotify were noted in early October. People began calling for boycotts immediately.

Now, nearly a month later Spotify is seeing major losses.

And we can do ever BETTER. 👏👏👏

Bernie, Zohran and AOC on stage.

Thank you, New York City.

Now let’s win.

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress nearly a month ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in. Why the delay? Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

What I don't have in experience, I make up for in integrity.

And what Andrew Cuomo lacks in integrity, he could never make up for with experience.

A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, our healthcare, and the information we receive. Many are now currying favor with Trump to avoid accountability and maintain their power. This is what oligarchy looks like.

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

I am so sorry about your daughter. I do see patients virtually through Stanford. I also have a concierge practice as well. I am not sure exactly what kind of input you are looking for.

Hi, I am not sure how you have been trying to get in touch with me but I am sorry for the difficulties. What would you like to discuss?

Big thanks to the NSF for sponsoring the GRC AEM conference. Come join us in late July!

Donald Trump has reportedly spent $18 million worth of taxpayer money to play golf since his inauguration.

This is happening as he slashes the federal workforce, guts funding for vital programs, and tees up major cuts to Medicaid to pay for more tax cuts for the rich.

Hello?

If only the democratic machine had not blocked @sanders.senate.gov to further advance their own conservative agenda to maintain the status quo!

Thank you @sanders.senate.gov for
being the leader we need!
Thank you
@aoc.bsky.social for being our future!

No Amazon. No Walmart. No Target. No Disney. No Google. No Apple. No Visa or Mastercard. And especially no Facebook or Twitter. Buy essentials such as medicine, food, and emergency supplies, of course, but make those purchases at small, local businesses and use cash. The purpose of today’s economic blackout is to send a clear message: We have the power.

Lots of "Very Serious People" don't want to admit what is plain and obvious and in front of our eyes and explains so much:

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are two of the most ignorant and uninformed people to ever be allowed near public office anywhere in the western world.

It's obvious to all of us.

Recursion is celebrating Rare Disease Day on Thurs., Feb. 27, 4:30-7pm MT, bringing together Utah leaders, patients & patient advocates who are working to find new cures. Join us in person or online: lu.ma/itz526zb #rarediseaseday

NIH cuts billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately The move halts a large slice of money for most universities and research institutions virtually overnight, imperiling vital research in everything from cancer to heart disease.

Another assault on US competitiveness at a time when biomedicine is roaring with innovation, an own-goal in a high-stakes international tournament. Of course the real losers are American people needing medicines and cures.

Clemency granted. Thank you so much President Biden.

Buried, amid the more immediate casualties and clearly visible damage of modern wildfire disasters, are the far more numerous victims of the secondary harms and "chronic emergencies" that subsequently unfold for months and years thereafter.

Pre-print time!

This time our lab tackled the enigmatic "autoinflammation of unknown origin". This is a cluster of rare patients with #autoinflammatory disease, which don't fit the criteria of other syndromes. It's not even clear its a single #disease, to be honest
