In 1946, for the first time, the Supreme Court held an office Christmas party. The following year, the clerks suggested inviting the Court's Black employees to the party, too. I will give you one guess how that went.
The Alarmingly Racist History of the Supreme Court’s Canceled 1947 Christmas Party
The Court held its first-ever office Christmas party in 1946. The following year, the clerks suggested inviting Black employees. It did not go over well.

Coverage alone isn’t enough if people can’t afford to use it.
Affordable premiums. Reasonable deductibles. Care people can actually access.
That’s the standard we should be fighting for.

The thugs in this pathetic regime are thin skinned punks who cannot tolerate any criticism. That is fascism. And to retaliate, they are harming our children. 🤬
HHS has terminated seven grants totaling millions of dollars to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) including for initiatives on reducing sudden infant deaths, improving adolescent health, preventing fetal alcohol syndrome & identifying autism early.
Why? Because the AAP criticized RFK Jr.

American Academy of Pediatrics loses HHS funding after criticizing RFK Jr.
HHS cuts key AAP grants, citing concerns about “identity-based language” and insufficient focus on agency priorities. The organization said the cuts could harm child health.

Rand Paul: "We've never in our past decided just to shoot smugglers who are unarmed without even proof they're smuggling anything. So I think this is a horrendous thing that should stop. I think it's illegal & immoral... the kids in the military - I'm not for sending them down there to die for oil"

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.
The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

I’ve spent my career fixing big problems in health care: as an ER nurse, a CDC officer, and an executive of one of our largest health systems.
As governor, I’ll use those same skills to bring down costs, expand access to care, and make sure Wisconsin families come first every single time.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.
