I believe politics ought to be an arena for peaceful debate, to pursue justice, and to make decisions guided by the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. We must stand for an America not of extremism and fury. But of decency and grace.

One of this country’s most visionary and inspiring political leaders — Michael Tubbs — so proud of you and so grateful for your leadership!! Here’s to upsetting the setup in 2026

Nothing will kill more children than the ongoing decimation of CDC, NIH, and USAID work to lift vaccine uptake in the US and world. Child survival rose 75% in the last 50 years. Vaccines account for 40% of that. Measles vax alone was 60% of the benefit. thelancet.com/journals/lance…
