Did you know that stopping infections today can prevent cancer tomorrow? 1 in 10 cancer cases are caused by infections. But many of these cancers are totally preventable through vaccines, antibiotics and early treatment. Watch the daily dose to learn more.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

These words demand attention. “In a real sense this is holy ground, consecrated by blood spilled here. The cost is high, and so I had to be here to stand in the very place where this tragedy unfurled… I think we’re at a defining moment for our country…” ~ Rev Warnock Take a moment, so much more…

Here’s some things that can be done by a party out of power - file impeachment articles every day in the House - withhold unanimous consent in the senate and filibuster every nominee - be everywhere with comms saying this is lawless and impeachable

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you. Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide. So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Trump is announcing Federal control over DC. White supremacy fascism is when you pardon 1600 violent Nazi insurrectionists who tried to overthrow democracy and beat hundreds of cops, killing several, but then claim DC is violent despite 30 year lows in crime, including a 26% drop last year.

This is no time to go high. If GOP states redraw maps, then Democratic states should redraw maps. Give the same energy. They will never play fair or by the rules. Ever.

All I think about when I hear people say that it’s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hogan’s grave is that Emmett Till’s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply won’t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.

July 18: If we have a smart president, you're never going to let the dollar slide. If you have a dummy, that could happen. July 25: A weak dollar makes you a hell of a lot more money. It doesn't sound good, but you make a hell of a lot more money with a weaker dollar than with a strong dollar

The Constitution gives Congress the power of the purse. The president's job is to "faithfully execute" the decisions we've made and he has signed into law. He may not impound, redirect or confiscate money outside federal law.

Striking. After Texas banned abortion, ER visits for early miscarriage rose 25% and blood transfusions surged 54%. Doctors delayed care like D&Cs out of fear of prosecution. More women nearly bled to death. buff.ly/egXhmm7 #medsky #ObGynsky 🛟🧪
