Absolutely! Don’t let the job kill you; everything you do is incredibly important, but please take time for yourself, and I seriously mean time out of *every day*! There are doctors (surgeons, ER doctors, et cetera) and RNs who work 12+ hour shifts, but they have mandatory breaks/time off to rest and recover. Same for all very crucial workers (pilots, for example), they all have forced time off to recover. We all love the work you do, but if you don’t give enough time for you, we may not have you at some point! I don’t mean to sound rude or patronizing, I just want to add a perspective to think about (personally knowing many doctors, pilots, nurses, etc.). Basically, take care of *yourself* in the same way that you take care of all of us! Be well, and thank you for your incredible passion!

I'm all in with this sentiment! Aaron, I so admire and respect you--your integrity and your drive! We couldn't have anyone better giving us the information we need and fighting with us, day after day, and, when necessary, hour after hour. You keep me going day after day. Thank you!

Refocus on no sides like true reporters do.

Somehow I think your sarcasm is a bit too subtle.

Sadly there is no reporting here that is not sided. True reporters report without bias.

Sadly both sidesism has been a bane both to the mainstream media and to society in general while real bias has been a benefit to one side far more than the other. Bring back a robust Fairness Doctrine if you want to see your concern addressed, but you can bet that most legislators and that most biased side of the media would be lobbying against it the minute it was suggested. In fact most of them would be bankrupted by it, which frankly I think wouldn't be a bad thing.

Very few follow both sides of the story -- and no one side is always correct. We are a nation of immigrants except for our native brothers and sisters who need to fight to be treated equally with the newcomers. We were founded on freedom of religion but not just one religion. Our elected officials lost the handle on immigration. Wouldn't you have tried to get to the US as soon as possible for a better life for your family. But now all immigrants -- legal and illegal -- are in fear of unfair treatment. I'd hate to be a Marine with the possibility of harming fellow citizens for some political agenda. And ICE -- if you are treating your targets fairly -- why do you need to hide behind a mask? Are you embarrassed to do your job to the best of your ability without all the violence? Immigrants are not the enemy. The government failed to control their access to the US. But the potential new citizens are here now and we honestly need their help to to make America great. Think of the work/jobs there are doing for us-- just trying to get along and improve their lives. If we get rid of all of them -- are you ready to step up for a minimal wage.

They are absolutely flooding the zone. My entire platform became political overnight because it had to. Today, I’m just excited that Zohran won and Trump is losing his shit over it. I leave for Colombia in the morning. Enjoy your night off!

Bless you and your work, Aaron. In future years, your nonstop efforts during these holocaust days will be documented with the gravity devoted to the famous war correspondents of the past.

AND the elderly in wheelchairs, getting arrested for protesting and being zip tied. Thank you Aaron for all you’ve done. Definitely eat up on your sour candy and get some good rest. ( Sugar overload and sleep go so good together 😂) We never know what tomorrow will bring! I love you 💙💙💙💙💙💙

Those poor elderly people. Scared just wanting their voices heard. Shame on the officers that did this.

OK buddy! BTW Congrats on the Rolling Stones article! Reminds me of an old song, Nothing like the thrill that'll get you, like the thrill of being on the cover of the Rolling Stone! Be sure to send 5 copies to your mother!

Zip-tying the hands of the elderly is abuse. As we age we develop thin skin susceptible to fine tears that introduce bacteria and other pathogens into our blood leading to infection, wounds and bruises that are slow to heal. It’s unnecessary to zip-tie a senior’s hands and compromise their lives and the safety and well-being of some of the people in wheelchairs. Zip-tying the hands of ANYONE who is compromised is abusive and nothing but a display of dominance.

I so appreciate your hard work. My 29 yr old daughter has complex disabilities and most people think Medicaid is only so people living in poverty can go to the Dr. For people with disabilities it’s so much more. Medicaid is 75% of our household income (SSI the other 25% $80 of SNAP, per month, is mixed in too). Deep cuts to Medicaid is so much more than people not being able to go to the Dr. It means not having anyone to get you out of bed, feed you, bathe you, and so much more. It could be life or death for some. Lord help us!

Aaron, nobody talks about the Medicare cuts in this big beautiful Bill. I’ve heard that there are cut to Medicare as well as Medicaid. Why isn’t anyone talking about that and can you confirm it?

They are gutting Medicaid & the Medicaid expansion that helps the poorest workers have a subsidized ACA medical insurance. The ICE & Military spending added to the billionaire tax give aways will blow the National debt to Mars approximately 4.5 Trillion dollars, the crap with the tariff wars tanked our credit & our bond market, which means we will pay higher interest rates on the money we owe plus the new debts if the Tax scam budget bill passes. These economic deficits automatically triggers a halt to Medicare. The automatic withdrawal of Medicare is called PAYGO! Please spread it far & wide. This was published by the Congressional Budget Office right before the full House vote on the bill was taken. Fight hard this is seniors & disabled primary insurance that we earned! We paid into it. This is theft.

I've gotten messaging on it, but it seems to be minimal in the big discussions. Yep, that's bound to affect a lot more healthcare recipients. Real popular stuff . . . 🙄

Just today I decided that I'm going to just come here for the news so that I won't spend so much time and get so overwhelmed or emotionally distraught.

Your no nonsense facts will make it so that I can keep up without becoming a victim.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you are doing for me and our country.
