Something unprecedented happened during my visit to the Gulf. For the first time in 20 years in Congress, I was denied entry to U.S. military facilities and even meetings with military leaders. An order from Hegseth - that applies to both parties - to hide the cost of the war.

Christa Pike getting "life-saving medical care" after surviving Tennessee execution There’s nothing like spending two million dollars to put someone to death only to spend two million dollars to save your life. America is so fucked up. We all matter or none of us do. It’s more than a slogan. ☮️💖

"An ambulance was seen arriving at the prison where Pike was to be executed and then leaving. Medical aid was being administered, according to online federal court records." The utter absurdity of the state trying twice to kill someone and then calling an ambulance. We must end the death penalty.

Patients want to know that decisions about their health care are being made by doctors, not by Wall Street investors. If we’re going to lower costs and un-rig the health care system, we need to stop the corporate takeover of medicine. I’ve got a bill to get the job done.
DEMOCRATS INTRODUCE BILL TO BAN PRIVATE EQUITY FROM OWNING DOCTORS.

THE STOP CORPORATE TAKEOVERS OF PHYSICIANS ACT MAKES SURE YOUR HEALTH CARE DECISIONS ARE MADE BY DOCTORS — NOT PRIVATE EQUITY FIRMS, INSURANCE COMPANIES, OR OTHER FOR-PROFIT CORPORATIONS.
WHO OWNS YOUR DOCTOR?

OVER 80 PERCENT OF DOCTORS IN AMERICA NOW WORK FOR CORPORATIONS. 1 IN 10 DOCTORS IN AMERICA ARE CONTROLLED BY UNITEDHEALTH’S OPTUM — AND IT WANTS TO DIRECTLY EMPLOY MORE.

THE COST OF ALL OF THIS? HIGHER COSTS AND LOWER-QUALITY CARE FOR YOU. MORE PRESSURE AND BURNOUT FOR DOCTORS, FORCING SOME OF THEM TO LEAVE MEDICINE.
HOW DO WE FIX THIS?

PUT DOCTORS BACK IN CHARGE.

THE STOP CORPORATE TAKEOVERS OF PHYSICIANS ACT WOULD:

STOP CORPORATIONS AND PRIVATE EQUITY FIRMS FROM CONTROLLING DOCTORS’ PRACTICES THROUGH LEGAL LOOPHOLES.

KEEP MEDICAL DECISIONS IN DOCTORS’ HANDS.

BAN CONTRACT TERMS THAT RESTRICT WHERE DOCTORS CAN WORK AFTER LEAVING A PRACTICE, WHICH TRAP THEM IN PRACTICES THAT THEY WANT TO LEAVE.

New: Macklemore says Robert Kraft — who owns Gillette Stadium, where Macklemore & Ed Sheeran were to perform later this month — called Sheeran. Kraft rallied other owners together behind an ultimatum for Sheeran: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you won't be allowed in our venues.

I'm not sure how to start this. So I'm going to speak from the heart and share the truth. Ed Sheeran and his team have made the decision to remove me from The Loop tour.
But before I get into it, I want to say something that should be obvious. In this moment I think it matters. I am not a victim. Ed Sheeran is not a victim. Pink is not a victim. We have careers, money, opportunities, safety and audiences around the world. Whatever consequences any of us face for what we say, we get to go home to our families.

The victims are the Palestinian people. The men, women and children who have been killed, starved, displaced and forced to live through unimaginable violence. More than 20,000 children have been killed in Gaza alone. People are being killed today, and people will be killed tomorrow. I want to make sure that as I tell this story, we don't lose sight of that.

Ed is my friend. I've known him for 13 years. We've shared late nights, studio sessions and stages. He has this infectious magic about him that I've grown to love. I consider him a brother. And because of that, we've had some difficult conversations this past week. The type of talks rooted in love and respect for one another that still end in a place of fundamental disagreement. Nothing I'm writing here is out of spite or because I want to tear down his character. But as I told Ed multiple times on the phone, our friendship can't change my responsibility to tell the truth about what happened.

Last Monday, in the middle of all the media attention surrounding Pink and what I said at MetLife, Ed told me that Robert Kraft called him. We were scheduled to play Gillette Stadium later this month, which is owned by the Kraft Group. Ed told me that Kraft said I would not be allowed to perform in his stadium. Ed also told me that Kraft had rallied some of the other
stadium owners and collectively they gave him an ultimatum: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you will not be allowed to play in our venues.

Ed was in …What I said at MetLife I have been saying on stages around the world for almost three years. So why is it an issue now? Because now I'm sharing a stage with one of the biggest artists in the world, in some of the biggest stadiums in America. At a certain level of exposure, "Free Palestine" becomes too much of a risk. If I kept doing the shows, saying Free Palestine, with Ed implicitly supporting it, the crowd getting loud and showing undeniable support for Palestinian liberation, what artist might speak out next? The stage becomes resistance. Maybe that's why this time it became so important to silence me.

And one of the most effective ways to enforce that silence has been to weaponize the accusation of antisemitism. Antisemitism is real. And that is exactly why the word matters too much to be used as a shield against criticism of the Israeli state. When criticizing Israel, opposing Zionism or saying "Free Palestine" gets conflated with hatred of Jewish people, it doesn't protect Jewish people. It protects Israel from accountability.

I hope this isn't the end of my relationship with Ed.
Thirteen years of friendship doesn't disappear because of one painful disagreement. I hope we both continue listening, studying what is happening in Palestine and wrestling with what neutrality means in a moment like this. My door will always be open to continuing that conversation.

When my brother Omar was doing the subtitles for the video I posted from MetLife, I thanked him. He told me there's a phrase in Arabic:
لا شكر على واجب
"La shukra ala wajeb." There is no thanks for a duty.
That stayed with me. Because that's what this has become for me and millions of others around the world. A duty. Not something deserving of praise or gratitude. Not brave. Human.

Who is winning the internet, who is getting canceled, who gets to play the stadium and who doesn't, all of it becomes so small when held against what we are actually witnessing in Gaza and the West Bank. An entire people be…
