Tonight is a small but truly consequential moment for American democracy.

I feel like we need to have proper burial and funeral service for the less/fewer distinction.

Under Trump Big Beautiful Bill, Ohio to lose $33 billion in Medicaid New research projects steep funding drops and hundreds of thousands losing health insurance in Ohio due to the GOP-backed law.

Both Ohio Senators - Husted and Moreno - voted to gut Ohio's Medicaid system. Ohioans need to hold them accountable.

Serious question, though: does Shohei Ohtani know how to field a grounder or catch a pop fly? #WorldSeries

Really shocking. Just took my son there for the first time last year. A reminder that they really can undo history on a dime.

Almost all fundraising appeals are annoying. But where did this β€œIs there anything I can say to convince you to chip in to my campaign” approach come from? Super annoying and pathetic.

White House hits roadblock in effort to get top colleges to agree to deal Six of nine universities that were asked to sign an agreement in exchange for funding advantages have rejected the offer, two said they were open to more discussion

University presidents and other leaders have a choice: actively resist this nonsense or be part of a historical undoing of the American university. And if they have the courage for the former, it should be loud and public.

Universities (and pretty much everybody else) have put themselves in a state of untenable precarity with this AWS dependence.

The rallies are impressive in Ohio, both in scope and their focus on a singular, coherent message. Something of an organizing achievement.

Took some time out yesterday with the Ohio @defendpublichealth.bsky.social team to deliver letters to Sen. Jon Husted's Columbus office--telling him to straighten up and stop undermining Ohio's healthcare and public health systems. Join the movement!

Many active duty military are fast approaching a decision point at which they will need to decide whether to obey unconstitutional orders. I hope they are preparing for this hard moment.

Autism community fears RFK Jr. would set back decades of progress
Advocates worry that as HHS secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could undermine years of work to unlink autism and vaccines and divert precious research dollars to a discredited theory.

Caroline Kennedy urges Senate to reject RFK Jr nomination

RFK Jr and the Fox News MAGA/MAHA MDs and PhDs who do his biddingβ€”Drs Bhattacharya, Makary, Oz, Prasad, & Kulldorffβ€”are doing EXACTLY what autism advocates and RFK Jr’s own family predicted he would do 😒

Bill Cassidy cast the key vote for RFK Jr. What is he thinking now? The GOP senator has invited Susan Monarez, the former CDC director, to testify about her concerns that Kennedy is threatening vaccine access in America.

Glad to see Sen. Cassidy trying to repair some of the damage caused by his vote to install RFK Jr as the head of the federal government's health apparatus. But make no doubt about it: Cassidy owns this.
