Johns Hopkins Care at Home is a stain on the Johns Hopkins name. Since my dad, a Johns Hopkins alum, died, they've repeatedly lied to us & given us runaround while his hospice equipment has remained in his home for days. Depressing & infuriating to look at an empty hospital bed & be unable to clean.

NEW: Reporting shows that the Trump administration is covering up the truth about the number of U.S. troops killed in Trump’s war. It’s a betrayal of American service members and their families.

I have a trade deficit with woman who used to own my house. I paid her thousands of dollars for her home and she paid me nothing. Now, all I have is a house worth thousand of dollars. I could have saved those thousands of dollars if I lived on a bench in the park. It's just simple Economics.

Our troops could be using UNSAFE or INEFFECTIVE weapons because of Pete Hegseth. That's right. Hegseth gutted the office that tests weapons. @norcross.house.gov and I are pressing Hegseth to reverse these cuts. We shouldn’t unnecessarily risk troops’ lives and our national security.

Trump promised to make IVF free for every American. Senate Republicans just blocked @duckworth.senate.gov's bill to provide IVF coverage for our servicemembers. This is a betrayal of the families who sacrifice for our country.

Tammy Duckworth@duckworth.senate.gov

NEWS: In a complete reversal, Senate Republicans threw out my bill that would cover IVF for our servicemembers in the next defense bill. They supported it last year. And the year before. But this year, they chose to betray our heroes who dream of having a family. Outrageous.

How to listen: - Be in the moment. Set aside the urge to anticipate what will be said - Lay down the need to react. Or your own thoughts will drown out their words - Reflect back how they said they feel, and say "tell me more" This is HARD. But opens paths to real understanding & resolving conflict.

This isn't guidance for any old conversation. It would be socially weird to do this all the time. But when you are struggling to understand someone, or you really want to help someone else who is in pain or questioning and may need to feel deeply heard.

We can’t just turn back the clock to 2024 when Democrats win the majority — we must demand fundamental reforms to guarantee inclusive democracy for this century.

Plan to Save America: get everyone to vote in their primary and vote out the incumbent Congressperson. Then get a Congress not embedded in bribes, bs, and status quo maintenance. How to get that done? No idea.

The transfer from your head to the page is never perfect. It's okay to write a bad draft and fix it afterward--nobody needs to see the bad draft, but it usually does need to exist. And honestly? Sometimes you aren't yet the writer who can pull it off, but you only get there by trying.

any advice from writers for when you desperately need to start writing something but you can't because you're terrified of it being terrible

A growing number of U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) doctors, nurses, and officers are resigning rather than accepting deployments to the Trump administration’s expanded immigration detention operations at Guantánamo Bay. This story was published in partnership with @kffhealthnews.org.

This is deranged. Trump is threatening to deploy our military, blow up the NATO alliance, & spend billions all because he didn't win a prize. This man has control of our nuclear arsenal. At what point will Republicans join us to stop him from putting our nation in harm's way?

I just left the Venezuela briefing. It's worse than you thought. Oil company executives seem to know more about Trump's secret plan to "run" Venezuela than the American people. We need public Senate hearings NOW.

If you’ve got a Senate Democrat who is not calling for new leadership, they’re part of the problem. We should no longer trust Senate Dems who decline to come out against the leadership that led us here. Until proven otherwise, we should assume they were in on the game to fool their own supporters.
