We are fast becoming a banana republic, with two standards of justice. If you oppose the leader, you go to jail just for speech. If you're a loyalist, you get immunity for your crimes.
That's what happens in Iran - not the United States. This is a decision moment for America.
ICE is detaining pregnant women who pose no threat to the public and putting them and their babies at risk. I've introduced a bill to help, but we need to keep pushing for accountability and shining a spotlight on human rights abuses. That's why I'm pressing for answers NOW.
@indivisible.org Ground Avelo. The athletic deputy director at one of the universities you list on your website told me that their contract with Avelo expired in June 2025. To whom should I provide the specific information?

GOOD NEWS: Despite RFK Jr saying he would cancel $500 million in mRNA research, the House Committee on Appropriations has passed a spending package, that includes $1.1 billion for “advanced research and development” at BARDA, which includes research on mRNA vaccines.
To my Republican colleagues: You are lawmakers. Write some laws—help people. Do your jobs. Don’t just hand the pen to Russ Vought and call it a day.
I don’t think Trump should get a blank check on how to spend your taxpayer dollars.
I want to throw Trump’s budget in the trash & fund cancer research, child care, and our K-12 schools.
When we pass spending bills, Congress decides how we invest in taxpayer dollars—not Trump.
Reminder that it’s “I will be posting about Covid 19 season” #idsky #vaccinesky
Trump and RFK Jr. are upending cancer research. They're cutting patients off from clinical trials and killing so many kids' only hope for a cure.
I’m fighting to restore funding, but I can't restore lost time. FIRE RFK Jr. NOW.

I am once again asking you to stop sending us money.
But we do need your time. ⏰

We need a Secretary of Health and Human Services.
Not a Secretary of Conspiracies.
Not a Secretary of Measles and Food Poisoning.
Not a Secretary of Cancelled Research and Chemtrail Nonsense.
RFK Jr. is burning down our public health system from the inside.
Fire him.
Talked with my patients about voting today. Four of them scanned my QR code to get registered to vote. Made sure everyone (nurses too!) was aware of the special election and the important opportunity to make their voices heard! #MedSky #DoctorsForDemocracy
"Public health will never look the same. But this isn’t just a story about science...
...every woman watching knows what Moneraz risked & why it matters. If one woman at the top of the CDC can hold her ground vs a president trying to tear down science, every one of us can hold our ground too"
The GOP holds the majority and could pass a law today to protect our children
Instead, they’re scolding us for saying “prayers aren’t enough” when babies are gunned down while praying in church
To those in Congress who claim faith—
Bloodshed isn’t inevitable.
It’s your choice
What if we established a tax-exempt Church of Democracy and sued the government for infringing on our religious freedoms when it does authoritarian stuff?
Health officials from Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania met this week to consider coordinating their own vaccine recommendations, separate from the federal government.
Good.
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu:
“Silence in the face of oppression is not an option. The U.S. Attorney General asked for a response by today. So here it is…Stop attacking our cities to hide your administration's failures.”
Just a little announcement in case you didn’t see it before www.acog.org/about/leader... @acog.org @acogd2.bsky.social #PresidentElect
BREAKING: We filed a class action lawsuit against ICE for denying people access to lawyers and subjecting them to inhumane conditions at 26 Federal Plaza in New York.
ICE is illegally holding people here for weeks, often without adequate access to medical care, food, or legal counsel.
I wasn't a public speaker; I wasn't a fundraiser. There were so many reasons not to run for office. But I pushed fear aside because the health and safety of South Carolina's kids was too important to sit on the sidelines. Thanks to Michelle Glogovac for having me on Beyond the Campaign!
As of today, thanks to Trump, Americans are paying the highest tariff rate since 1933.
And the average household is going to lose out on $2,400 thanks to Trump's tariffs.
You are paying more for almost everything because of Trump himself.
My optimism about our ability to save our democracy comes from my experience. No matter how broken or bruised our democracy is today, I have seen it work and I know it can work again. I have seen the power of collective action. I know it can save us now.
Folks, who are your favorite science communicators on Instagram?
I have a great list of the marine biology and conservation folks, but am trying to build out a broader list of people who communicate other types of science using Instagram.
When public media disappears, so do the stories that bring us together.
With federal funding eliminated, millions may lose their last trusted source of news and connection.

Governor Pritzker receives the Champion for Families Award from One Family Illinois.
Honored tonight to be receiving the Champion for Families Award from One Family Illinois.
I’ll hold it close to my heart, but I will not rest on my laurels.
There's still work to be done to ensure that every Illinois child grows up in a healthy, supportive environment.
I will continue to take precautions against COVID because I know what this does. I'm not living in fear -- I'm living in knowledge.
Knowledge that this current episode of COVID will have lasting repercussions.
It’s not too late to start masking.
You don’t have to do it alone. You won’t be the lone masker.
There’s an engaged Covid cautious and disability community who will help you.
There’s local mask blocs who provide respirators to those who can’t afford them.
Covid is still here, and masks work!
When you wear a mask, you’re practicing radical self care and community care.
You’re protecting yourself from COVID and other airborne diseases, while also committing to breaking chains of transmission.
You’re ensuring you don’t get anyone else sick.
Masking is an act of resistance.
