This is how democracies die:
When they cede too much power, give in to the decrees of an autocratic ruler, punish dissent, and forget the past horrors of dictatorship.
Democratic freedoms must be safeguarded, especially in times of crisis.
On this #NationalDoctorsDay, I want to share this powerful video from Dr. Francois and Dr. Robinson and thank all of the incredible doctors, nurses, technicians, residents, fellows, and hospital staff who are putting their lives on the line to save ours.
BREAKING: Trump just admitted he refuses to call Governors of states he doesn’t like. He has Pence or others call instead. Americans are dying. And he’s acting like a toddler.
We need an economic response to this crisis as well as a health response.
Let’s start by keeping it simple.
An immediate payment of $1,000 for every adult. $500 for every kid.
This will help keep families afloat and businesses that depend on them.
We are all in this together.
