A Greater Cincinnati man born with a rare genetic disorder that leaves skin as fragile as a butterfly’s wing has helped inspire federal legislation aimed at reducing the high cost of care for families nationwide. tinyurl.com/vwta5fpd

We have a moral duty to accelerate biomedical innovation.
Trikafta is one of the most inspiring medical advances in decades. Approved in 2019, the drug at first makes cystic fibrosis patients vomit up mucus for a whole day. But while they lose that day, they gain a lifetime–a healthy, *normal length* lifetime. It's a miracle drug.

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. hoyer.house.gov/media/press-…

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.

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.

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.

Pretty easy case we’d be immensely better off now if Biden just lost in 2020
These details from Chris Whipple's forthcoming book on the 2024 presidential race about Biden before his disastrous debate performance are something. "Halfway through the [first debate prep] session, the president excused himself and went off to sit by the pool." Link below:

This is pretty gross. It's not cool when Republicans do it, and it's not cool when Democrats do it. It's bad on the merits, is not something that voters like, and it's a great way to further solidify an extremely toxic image of a party.
🚨WATCH: Rep. JASMINE CROCKETT calls Texas Governor Greg Abbott "Governor Hot Wheels." Abbott is paralyzed below the waist and has used a wheelchair for over 40 years.

I’m sorry. But this is gross ableism, especially since plenty of people on Medicaid that Democrats claim to support use wheelchairs. Tammy Duckworth used a wheelchair.
House Dems' top spox Jasmine Crockett applauded after attacking Texas Governor Abbott for using a wheelchair: "Y'all know we got Governor Hot Wheels down there!" Recent polling shows Crazy Crockett as one of the leaders of the Democrat Party. This is who they are.

It’s really disturbing how being a mean-spirited jerk is considered a virtue these days. It’s gone from “I don’t care about other human beings” (bad enough on its own) to being gleeful about causing others suffering.

PSA: if your reaction to NASA’s science budget potentially facing a 50% cut is “yeah but SLS sucks!”, then you know very little about NASA’s budget. This would not affect SLS. This would harm Hubble, JWST, Chandra, the Mars rovers, probably kill Voyager, New Horizons, etc

Blue Ghost is on the Moon! This amazing image just arrived from what appears to be the first fully successful commercial lunar lander. Over the next 2 weeks, it will drill, study lunar dust, and observe an eclipse of the Sun...by the Earth. fireflyspace.com/news/firefl…
