Isn’t it interesting how willingly Congress gave over the power of our purse to the Executive Branch, robbing all citizens from our representatives having a vote on this appropriation. No vote, no voice. Taxation and spendthrifting without representation.

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

This is excellent. Every Dem strategist who thinks there's risk in engaging these debates should watch it for guidance.

We didn't do anything extraordinary here. Sure, I wrote a nice script, and my friend @barubin.bsky.social did a fantastic job overlaying visuals. But what we're saying is pretty obvious.

What I wonder is why *we* have to say these things as opposed to, I don't know, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social?
