I'll be on MS NOW at 6pm Eastern tonight/Saturday as Peter Alexander helms a special report on the president's decision to try to ban our network, CNN, and Politico from White House grounds. (Emphasis on "try"...) See you at 6.

SHOUT-OUT to all proud members of the MAGA-Resistance Movement in their defense of the Kennedy Center. It will NEVER have the Orange Felon's name on it, just as it will continue to be the Gulf of MEXICO, Lake ONTARIO & the Department of DEFENSE. #AccountabilityIn45Days 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊

Americans taking to the streets to stand up to the malignantly narcissistic megalomaniac. #HandsOffTheKennedyCenter #VoteBlueNoMatterWho

"Signs of Fascism" originated in my town. (Sequim, WA) I filmed it. I remember getting a call, "hey your video got 5,000 views." By the end of the day it had 60K. Over 100K in a few days from just one platform. Then my DM blew up! Everyone wanted to replicate the signs. Nice to see the signs today.

Barack Obama and Hakeem Jeffries raised $3.5 million for the DCCC at a Manhattan fundraiser Thursday. Obama’s message: Democrats can unite around core values like opportunity, equality, justice and the common good, while still allowing candidates flexibility in how they approach specific issues.

I absolutely LOVE this. Christian Bale spent roughly 17 years fighting to make this happen. This week, his foster-care village opened in Palmdale, California: 12 homes built specifically to help keep siblings together when they enter foster care.

This is alarming: ICE will spend $20M on electric shock gloves for its agents. This comes as ICE whistleblowers continue warn of new recruits' lack of training and violent backgrounds. Meanwhile the social safety net is gutted — just to funnel billions to Trump's masked thugs.

I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.

Gas prices are up 24.6% from a year ago and still significantly higher than they were before the Iran War. Meanwhile, the world's 8 biggest oil companies have made a $93B profit windfall in just the last three months. Big Oil is raking it in as the world burns — and we're paying for it.

For once, I agree with James Carville’s overall point. “Black folks… the most loyal part of the entire Democratic coalition… if progressives want to disrespect people, they're… going to lose a constituency that has stuck with you for the last 70 years.” 1/2

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

PSA: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

Doctor here-Story time: I received a call today from a sick friend in another state, & I recognized it as a neurological emergency sent him to ER. Likely diagnosis: Giant Cell (Temporal) Arteritis, which can cause blindness. 1 of the authors of original 1990 diagnostic criteria: Anthony Fauci MD🙌🏻🫡
