I work in infectious disease and not many things scare me but botulism does. Grateful to my coworkers, the lab workers, and other epis that detected the current formula outbreak. Infant botulism (affectionately known as baby bot) is so terrible and this is why we need funded public health!!!!

Big Republican Lie in 2024: "The policies of the Trump administration will NOT be based on Project 2025."

Big Republican Lie in 2025: "If you join us to end your only leverage over us, the shutdown, we *promise* [wink, wink] to bring ACA subsidies up for a vote."

81% of the Democratic base in a poll last week said Congress should “refuse to approve a budget unless it includes extending these tax credits, even if it means the government remains shut down.” But even 81% of the Dem base is not enough to get all Senate Democrats on board. #Pathetic

The people showed up in the streets for "No Kings."

They did their part.

The people showed up at the polls on Tuesday.

They did their part.

8 Democrats in the Senate surrendered last night.

They did not do their part.

Do not vote into office people who literally do not understand how negotiations work

What an utter embarrassment Shaheen is to the entire state of New Hampshire

They literally handed over our health care so that the airlines didn’t have a bad holiday season.

Too furious for words.

Sen. Lucy Football (D-NH)

If your idea of fighting for democracy is condemning people who post the truth about our leadesrhip, telling them, "Stop dividing our party!," rather that calling your represenatives...every day...and keeping your foot in their ass for every step they take for the next year.. your strategy sucks.

Chuck Schumer must go as Senate Democratic leader. Period. We need a more effective fighter

Chuck Schumer must go as Senate Democratic leader. Period. My new article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/chuck-schu...

Good morning to everyone but especially to Lady Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, whose judgement against Rudy Giuliani for defaming them and turning their lives upside down cannot be pardoned away by the president

There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely.

*If all goes by the regular schedule

In a time when the Democratic Party urgently needs Winston Churchills, it has far too many Neville Chamberlains.

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president.

The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

You're Goddamn right we do, @governor.ca.gov. Thank you for saying it. This f*cking l*mp d*ck "fight" for democracy we've been seeing out of these folks is the pinnacle of utter incompetence and lack of will to win.

SOURCES: The Epstein Files ARE Worse Than Previously Thought I reached out to sources that reviewed the files after David Shuster reported that republicans in the House are panicking. This is about what I learned.

SOURCES: The Epstein files are actually worse than previously thought. Here's my latest episode of The Breakdown in case you missed it yesterday. www.muellershewrote.com/p/sources-th...

Through all of this bullshit- reps Khanna AND Moulton call for new senate leadership. Just when the tides had turned and we had gotten away from the whole DEMS ARE WEAK media talk by winning huge on Tuesday- we are back there today!! WTAF! If we lose democracy it’s bc the ppl in place don’t work

When my cartoons become reality. #chicago

Tell me you don’t understand risk pools without telling me you don’t understand risk pools

Post from Pete Buttigieg that reads: It's a bad deal. Everyday life - making it better and more affordable - must always be our bottom line. For months, I’ve been hearing from people bracing for their health insurance bills to skyrocket - so much that some will lose coverage altogether. Some say they simply haven't even opened their letter yet, dreading the bad news. Any deal that fails to address this directly is a bad deal.

Americans deserve better than the eight Democratic Senators who voted on a promise, without a guarantee, to protect the Affordable Care Act.

Thank you @govevers.wisconsin.gov

My two Senators forgot who we are and who elected them.

We are the great State of Nevada!

We are the home of Harry Reid!

His leadership gave Americans the ACA with Obama and Pelosi!

How dare you spit on his legacy and our healthcare!
I don’t even know how to describe how I’m feeling.

I think Schumer is in with MAGA to support Israel. I’m sure he will get a nice AIPAC bonus!

If you believe it was just 8 senators I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. This was a Schumer operation.

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.
