If you ever get the chance to see Kathy Griffin live, I highly recommend it. If you can't see her live, she put her latest special on YouTube called My Life on the PTSD list and she has never been better. For 4 years she was prevented from working because Trump is such a thin-skinned nazi

Yesterday I argued in the Supreme Court to defend a 50 year old law that prevent corruption in our campaign finance system. Meanwhile, Republicans are attacking the 60 year old Voting Rights Act in SCOTUS as well. We won't let them gut democracy without a fight.

Trump wanting immigrants from Norway, Sweden, and Denmark is funny, because the fact that they're white outweighs the fact that they're supposed to be kinda socialist
Trump’s Attack on Somali Americans Is Vile Fascism
He’s testing our country’s tolerance for ethnic persecution. And we’re failing the test.

There is no question about it: Alito, Thomas, Roberts, and the three Trump Supreme Court appointees are all GOP partisan hacks.

Pass term limits. Expand the court. Enact an enforceable code of ethics.

We must keep pushing Democrats to enact court reform.

In January, the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services will roll out a pilot program that will use AI to review Medicare patients' requests for care.

Insurers will get rewarded when they deny care.

Pete Hegseth’s “Department of War” has killed at least 87 people in strikes on boats in the Pacific and Caribbean. The regime claims these boats were carrying drugs destined for the US — a claim that has been refuted by evidence in several cases (and wouldn’t justify the strikes, even if true).
