This one hurts a lot. Richard is a great scientist. His elegant work inspired me to get into mitochondrial biology and he went out of his way to help me establish myself in the field. So sad for our whole community.

Strom Thurmond, racist Senator from SC, has held the Senate record since 1957 for his 24 hr & 18 minute objection to the 1957 Civil Rights Act. It is beyond fitting that @booker.senate.gov may break that record today in opposition to yet more racism & illegal gov activities.

Exactly true. NIH funding is key to pharma. And keeping quiet isn't working. This administration did not get majority support from the American people. And their approval rating has fallen dramatically as Americans figure out what they are really doing. Stop the coup: Trump and Musk hands off.

Deporting innocent people to a dark site prison in El Salvador is heinous I’m proud to represent leading conservatives like @judgeluttig.bsky.social, fmr Trump Spec Counsel Ty Cobb, fmr NJ Gov Christie Whitman & 30 others in urging SCOTUS to DENY Trump’s effort to stop court oversight of AEA abuse

REMINDER: Wisconsin has same-day voter registration. So, if you haven’t registered or recently moved or anything like that, you can register at your polling place (with ID and proof of residence) TODAY. Every state should do this. It’s great that Wisconsin does this. Go vote.

Thank you, @warren.senate.gov, @warnock.senate.gov, @wyden.senate.gov, and @captmarkkelly.bsky.social for keeping the focus on SSA. DOGE doesn't want any light shined on what they're doing to us. If you want inside stories, @altssa.altgov.info and me are happy to help! 🫡

1. The Social Security Administration and DOGE are GASLIGHTING AMERICANS. They are telling millions of beneficiaries that reports they were closing SSA field offices were fake news. Actually, these closures were PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED and LEASES WERE CANCELED. 🧵
