Vaccines are critical to protect members of our community. Risks from vaccination are FAR lower than risks from disease.
Risk less, do more: join me in getting immunized!! #NFID

This is an entirely new phenomenon because before the vaccine, most women who survived measles were immune because they had it when they were young. But now, idiots who refuse to get vaccinated are giving birth to babies with measles. Two babies have died. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.
Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.

Mike Johnson’s lies are fact checked on social media while he gave the House another early vacation. The GOP voted to require employment for people to receive government benefits & public assistance and yet these rules don’t apply to Congress?!!

With 45 days until the midterms, I urge you all to:
1) Help get out the vote.
2) Protect our electoral machinery from interference.
3) Not succumb to complacency, defeatism, or cynicism.
We are the only ones who can end this nightmare.
We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

The horror has come to our city: ICE has shot a person in Austin this morning.
As the facts emerge, I am demanding a full, independent investigation, immediate release of the body camera footage, and accountability for any ICE officer who broke the law.

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020. — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%.
It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low.
We must unrig the system.
