With the first national blood crisis it feels like an appropriate opportunity to remind folks that the @US_FDA can increase the number of eligible donors though science based policy changes.
To donate blood, I had to give up all forms of sex for a year. The reason: I’m gay. nyti.ms/2ij08Ys

BREAKING: New polling in South Carolina has Republicans terrified of another Democratic flip opportunity where Dr. Annie Andrews is only 3 points behind Lindsey Graham. This is amazing.

Trump says "things can happen" in response to Brown University shooting. Disgusting - this administration's actions undoing gun regulations at the behest of the corporate gun lobby makes these tragedies more likely to occur.

The majority of the No Kings protests have dispersed at this time and all traffic closures have been lifted.  We had more than 100,000 people across all five boroughs peacefully exercising their first amendment rights and the NYPD made zero protest-related arrests.

He drove from Las Vegas to New York with an AR-15, which cannot be purchased in New York. He walked into an office building and started spraying the lobby with that AR-15, killing the police officer whose handgun was no match for the AR-15. This isn’t about New York. This is about Republicans persistently blocking common sense gun safety reform, including an assault weapons ban, that a super majority of Americans support.
Another brave police officer murdered in cold blood in New York tonight. This isn’t just tragedy, it’s the cost of weak leadership and anti-cop policies. No more coddling criminals. No more “defund the police.” Time to crush the spread of crime & make American cities safe again.

Five years ago today, Sean Monterrosa was killed by Vallejo police. He was only 22 years old — a son, a brother, a friend, a beloved member of his community. His family is still fighting for justice. We stand with them, and we say his name: Sean Monterrosa.

This (waves hands broadly) reminds me of one of the ten million things I wanted to tweet over the past four years and couldn’t — why in the world did we not give @AOC the minority leadership role for House oversight?

That would be Musk’s fault - not Democrats’ fault. You are giving away some of Congress’s few remaining checks on Trump.
