Today we remember Alice Ball, an African American chemist who developed the 1st effective treatment for leprosy prior to antibiotics. After Ball died at 24, a male colleague stole her research. Ball was not recognized until a historian found her original thesis. Feb 28 is Alice Augusta Ball Day

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.
What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?
I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

Conway: If you want your lives to be better and you want this country to persevere for your kids, we need to impeach and remove this fascist fucker now, as soon as possible. And I know that language is tough, but that’s where we are.

Quote from Trump just minutes ago:
"The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places.... The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting."
In modern history, there's never been a bigger threat to our Constitution and our way of life than and his enablers.

Amazon has cut a combined 28,000 jobs since October. Its CEO made $40M+ in 2024
UPS has announced 78,000 job cuts since last year. Its CEO made $24M.
HP announced up to 6,000 layoffs in November. Its CEO made $21M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Former and current CDC and NIH staff have written another open letter to congress demanding that no budget be approved without checks placed on ICE.
