Thank you to the 14 principled members of US Congress who signed this letter to Secretary Noem demanding the immediate release of Mahmoud Khalil. Sad that every member of Congress, or at least every Dem, didn't sign this. Does Trump need to literally light the Constitution on fire before they act?

I am wondering more and more if the Democratic strategy is to stay silent and let the Republicans own the consequences of their actions, unequivocally, all by themselves.

Medicaid provides 40% of the funding for community health centers. Medicaid supports 2 out of 3 people in nursing homes. Medicaid provides health care to 41 million children. Trump and his Republican friends want to enact massive cuts to the program. We won't let them.

This weekend, a female at a townhall in Idaho was forcibly removed and zip-tied for asking questions of elected officials. No man supported her. The video is very disturbing. Watch this be think about what you would have done in the 1930s in Germany…or Saturday. www.threads.net/@victoriaave...

This is chilling. A woman is zip tied and dragged out of a town hall meeting by unidentified men for voicing her dissent, while the majority of attendees jeer or turn away from her violent removal. I ...

I haven’t seen this action by #SAEM posted for discussion yet. Are journals and societies also adjusting or retracting prior research to reflect an executive branch policy « to recognize two sexes, male and female »? Where does it stop? #medsky #emedsky #emergencymedicine #meded #acep #aaem

Donald Trump's executive order stating that there are only 2 genders uses language of #fetalpersonhood. If fully enacted, fetal personhood would give full rights to fetuses, outlawing abortion nationwide, and could treat abortion as murder. Not a coincidence. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

In prep for #RFK hearings, let's do some vax review #MEASLES - As of 12/31/24, 284 cases of measles were reported in 32 US states due to failure to vaccinate. I would tell you the 2025 data, but there is a #gagorder on the CDC, FDA, HHS from the Trump administration.

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish. Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part. Who’s with me?
