Spoke at the @texasdemocrats.bsky.social convention last night. My message: the six Bs (bosses, bankers, billionaires, big shots, bastards, bullshitters) have been running roughshod over us. We're not fire hydrants, and we're gonna show them that come November.

On Sept. 16, 2024, Emily Waldorf’s daughter found her curled on the floor, bleeding during a dangerous miscarriage at 17 weeks pregnant. Waldorf and her husband rushed to an Arkansas hospital, expecting emergency care. Instead, doctors said they could not intervene under the state’s abortion ban.

We need an HHS Secretary who respects science and does not make policy based on conspiracy theories. Vaccines are safe and effective. Kennedy is threatening the health of our kids and all Americans. He must resign.

Trees can be replaced, but that takes time and effort. Dirtier air, soil erosion, habitat destruction … these are all irreversible in the short run, and cause lasting damage in the long run.

Holy shit. This legit gave me chills. Texas State Rep. Ann Johnson clapped back at GOP members amid Wednesday's redistricting vote. WHITE WOMEN, this is the model. We have more power than others. We are the last to be silenced. We have a responsibility to SPEAK so others are HEARD.

There is just no precedent in recent world history of an advanced industrialized country sabotaging its own scientific establishment, and destroying the base of scientific knowledge necessary for basic policymaking. An avowedly, actively anti-knowledge regime.

It has been brought to our attention that some sections of Article 1 are missing from the Constitution Annotated (constitution.congress.gov) website. We’ve learned that this is due to a coding error. We have been working to correct this and expect it to be resolved soon.
