We’re on a path to lose the Senate but win the House. Let’s make sure we win both. We can’t move forward with the plan to expand the supreme court if we don’t win the senate.

it feels like a great crisis in American History education in this country that there needs to be a spokesperson for promoting secular government
Rep. Jared Huffman (D-California) has become a kind of spokesperson for promoting a secular government.
As many Americans say they're increasingly displeased with how religion and politics are mixing, he sees an opportunity for his cause.

Why have 3 #veterinarians not been able to diagnose why this little guy's eyes have clouded over in the last 4 years? It's not cataracts. He is reactive and I think more so since the clouding got worse. He's a 7 yo rescue. Any vets out here in the blue can offer guidance? 😔 #dogs #veterinary

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

Awful: The local press in Maine is crediting Susan Collins for getting Trump to agree to ICE bodycams nationwide.
It's cynical BS: She voted for $70 billion in ICE money and against requiring bodycams. But this kind of thing is why she could still win.
