This administration truly cannot live down the assessment that they'd all prefer to be podcasting than doing their actual jobs.

Rand Paul--who doesn't believe in evolution--holding a hearing of Dr. Fauci--a retired, life-long public servant-- while we are *actively* in the midst of SEVERAL disease outbreaks due to unnecessary public health cuts and corporate lobbying shows exactly how unserious Republicans are.

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.

Walz: "I don't care if you are conservative are flying a Donald Trump flag, a libertarian 'Don't Treat on Me,' a Democratic Socialist -- this an inflection point. If we cannot all agree that the smearing of a citizen and besmirching everything they stood for -- someone has to be accountable."

Please repeat over and over: “Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.” —Gov. JB Pritzker

This week it’s hard not to despair as we see everything we’ve lost. But public health has always been an act of faith. Faith that incremental changes can make vast differences in the future. So keep speaking up. Keep doing the work. We are the keepers of the seeds. And we will grow again. 💚

Trump has been racking up some procedural "wins" at the Supreme Court and the answer for why is simple: John Roberts is a feckless coward. He's like a cop in Uvalde, cowering outside waiting for the shooting to stop, instead of doing his job. My latest in @thenation.com

I honestly have a hard time watching this corporatized, highly produced patriotism on the Super Bowl knowing that in real life the American republic is crumbling to shit as we sit here. The hypocrisy is too rich, the self-congratulation too patronizing. #SuperBowl

The American people don't want Project 2025, and any nominee who would weaponize and dismantle our institutions to enforce such a radical and cruel agenda must be rejected. I contacted my senators today. Make sure your senators hear from you. app.sosha.ai/s/ODa6OTgs

The health and safety of all Americans depend on leadership that prioritizes facts, science, and public trust – qualities Robert Kennedy Jr. doesn't carry. I contacted my senators and urged them to oppose RFK Jr.'s nomination. Make sure your senators hear from you! app.sosha.ai/s/twvfPNO4
Picture of RFK Jr. with the text “RFK Jr.’s policies would jeopardize public health and undermine efforts to protect our communities from preventable diseases and health crises.” Beneath his photo is text that says “Stop RFK Jr from leading HHS.”

After last night, some sections of college football want Indiana to apologize for crashing the Playoff party. If they want to sustain the things that made them successful this fall, the Hoosiers should do the exact opposite. Insider: www.indystar.com/story/sports... #iufb

IU football crashed the CFP party — and shouldn't have to apologize for any of it.
Apologize for nothing. That’s Indiana football’s identity now. Embracing it will win you games.
