We have a moral duty to accelerate biomedical innovation.

A mother of a child dying of bone cancer—a kid getting end-of-life-care who has been pushing for the passage of the Give Kids a Chance Act—posts a note wondering how the law has not passed the Senate. I wrote about the failure here: thebulwark.com/p/pediatric-c…
Her note is below:

The #ADA opened doors for millions of people living with disabilities to live with greater dignity, independence, equality, and opportunity.
As we celebrate its' 35th anniversary, let us keep working to ensure every aspect of American life can be accessible for all.

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups who can post mean tweets without consequences, alongside out-groups who must be punished for every mean tweet they post

Biden's constant and petty backstabbing of Harris is matched only by his insane delusion, both of which speak very badly of him.
Hey guys, so this is me! I can’t believe he actually did this! He really listens.
Shane, a constituent and friend, is living with a rare, painful disorder. Thanks to breakthrough gene therapy he helped test, there’s hope.
But that hope is dwindling.
Trump and congressional Republicans want deep cuts to healthcare and rare disease research.
We’re fighting with and for Shane, and every family that cannot afford these cuts.
When did being nasty, mean spirited, cynical, hateful, and selfish become not just acceptable but so popular? I genuinely don’t understand it.

I like how we get our first solid clues for extraterrestrial life over the last week and the Trump administration is still looking at gutting our country’s basic sciences NASA budgets. The cosmos has never been closer and we are trying to cut off our arms so we can’t reach it

This absolutely should not stand.
- Overall 20% cut
- No Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope
- No Mars Sample Return
- No DAVINCI
- No Goddard Space Flight Center
If this somehow passes I am legit throwing hands.
If you care about science at NASA, this is royally sucks.

I honestly don’t know if I’ll live to see the end of 2026. Oncology appointment today did not go well. My treatment options are shrinking.

exiling cancer researchers at the NIH to work in steel factories is quite literally Maoism lmao

However, it is a pretty solid punchline to Joe Biden’s long shitty career that the worst thing he ever did for himself, his party, and his country was actually win the Presidency.
Shane 🇺🇸 retweeted
Pretty easy case we’d be immensely better off now if Biden just lost in 2020
