Bill Foege, rest in peace. He was a hero of public health, key to the eradication of smallpox (which killed more than half a billion people), a former head of CDC, and unfailingly wise, kind, and persistent.

. @Sen_JoeManchin It is your time of reckoning. You don't want to totally eliminate the filibuster, fine. But moving from 60 to end debate to 40 to continue it would put the burden on the minority, where it belongs, force them to debate a gun bill at length. Do the right thing!

The Uvalde shooter reportedly bought two assault rifles on his 18th birthday.
That's something you can do in Texas and then tote the assault rifles around in public without any license or training.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's confirmation is extraordinary, for more than one reason: She’s the first public defender and the first Black woman on the Supreme Court—delivering powerfully important experience to the bench. This is a joyful & historic victory for equal justice!

An unprecedented moment - Donald J. Trump is officially the only US president to be impeached twice. #breakingnews

For the next two weeks the nation is at risk with Trump as president. He is unbalanced, vengeful-unfit. He cannot be trusted with the powers of the presidency. It is finally time to prioritize the national welfare. Via the 25th Amendment or impeachment, he should be removed. Now.
