Trump and Republicans want you to be so overwhelmed and confused by the news that you don't pay attention to what they're doing.
So let's break it down together . . . 🧵

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US.

I love my country with all my heart and I've never been more embarrassed for America than the spectacle I just witnessed in the Oval Office.
Zelensky is fighting for the survival of his country, his people and their democracy.
Trump and Vance appear to be completely aligned with Putin, the invader whose aim has been to conquer Ukraine.
Zelensky should know that millions and millions of Americans still stand with him and his valiant people.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

Doulas deserve a living wage. We can not continue to say we stand for Black maternal health rights and justice if we do not fund and support the people serving Black families. Let's push for the $1930 Medicaid reimbursement rate NOW. #PayEquity4Doulas | tinyurl.com/NYdoulas

In this editorial, NY Coalition for Doula Access lays out a clear argument for why we need a sustainable statewide Medicaid reimbursement rate that would pay $1,930 per birth—so those providing this lifesaving care can receive the compensation they deserve.
"The vital support of #doulas is not covered by Medicaid in New York and is often out of reach for the communities of color who would most benefit from it." Check out this op-ed in @NYDailyNews highlighting work from our Maternal Health team! nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-o…

I am living with a terminal disease. I am also a patient advocate.
I am a damn good advocate, but I need your help. The more followers I have, the more I can get government and pharma to pay attention.
So my ask is: Will you follow me so we can change the world?

Sports illustrated fired him for challenging their pay cuts during the pandemic.
He ran to unseat FIFA’s president.
He challenged human rights abuses in Qatar.
RIP Grant Wahl, who’s career was as much about great reporting as it was about speaking truth to abusive power.
