This is completely not okay, and we can't become numb to repeated instances of illegal and unconstitutional action by government agencies. The recent days have been horrific.

🚨BREAKING: Border Patrol just illegally arrested a U.S. citizen… a TEENAGER… in Richfield, Minnesota. The teen was working at Target when agents tackled him and arrested him, while his passport was in his pocket, fully identifying himself as a U.S. citizen. None of it…

People with cancer deserve more – that’s what drives every new pathway and technology we investigate and every partnership we pursue. Our research focuses on exploring novel approaches to help patients fight cancer.

Trump’s “big beautiful bill” is probably the worst piece of legislation in modern history. It attacks the most vulnerable people while giving massive tax breaks to billionaires. Please call your member of Congress. Let’s do everything we can to defeat this horrific bill.

Congratulations to Zohran Mamdani and his thousands of grassroots supporters for their extraordinary campaign. You took on the political, economic and media Establishment- and you beat them. Now it’s on to victory in the general election.

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

This is what oligarchy looks like: Jeff Bezos, the 3rd richest man in the world worth $231 billion, can afford to sail into Venice on his $500 million yacht for his $20 million, 3-day wedding to give his bride a $5 million ring because his real tax rate is 1.1%. Tax the rich!

Trump, Vance & others either have forgotten or never knew that Zelensky signed a ceasefire agreement with Putin in 2019. Three years later, Putin launched his full-scale invasion. So, signing another ceasefire with no security guarantees feels like suicide for Ukrainians.
