This is a good nuanced take.
The CDC is rehiring more than 400 people who had received layoff notices.
Around half of those employees are in the National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD and Tuberculosis Prevention.

Enjoy your canned vegetables for Thanksgiving, people. This is only going to get worse.
In the dead of night, House Republicans pushed through their heartless budget that isn't just the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in American history, but also the largest evisceration of health care in American history. We can't let the Big Ugly Bill become law.
W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee:
“Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”
Former senator Jon Tester calls the “Big Beautiful Bill” a “piece of shit” and says Senate republicans know it. Watch the full episode:  jimacosta.substack.com/p/fmr-sen-jo...
Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.
BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

My daughter’s speech therapist went out of business because Medicaid reimbursement rates were too low. We do not have Medicaid. I’m going to keep posting this until people understand that when Medicaid gets cut *everyone* loses services.
Aaaand there it is.

The Prime Minister of a sovereign country came to the United States today and actually had to tell the President of the United States - to his face - that his sovereign country wasn’t for sale. And would never be for sale.

From left to right, Congressman Jim McGovern, Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley, and Senator Ed Markey stand outside an ICE detention center in Louisiana.
I spent the day at the ICE Detention centers where Rümeysa Öztürk and Mahmoud Khalil are being unjustly detained. They've been taken thousands of miles away from home and denied due process.
I’m here to call for their immediate release and make it known that they haven’t been forgotten.
