What happened inside the WH after the Oval shouting match: Trump huddled with his key advisers immediately afterward inside the Oval. According to a White House official, Trump consulted Vance, Rubio, Bessent, etc. That was when Trump decided that Zelensky was "not in a place to negotiate."

I won't be purchasing anything tomorrow unless it's an emergency. Yes, I'm aware that won't fix the world, but I see this as practice for strikes and longer boycotting. Let's go 👍

Maddow: That has never happened at this scale in this way before when it comes to programing changes, presumably because it's not the right way to treat people and it kind of drops the bottom out of whether or not people feel like this is a good place to work

it's good that her charges were dropped, but keep in mind that The Process is The Punishment. She was intimidated, jailed, her life was forever disrupted because she had the audacity to be mean to someone denying her healthcare on the phone.

Please do not fall for any of the lies being told in the theatre of a confirmation hearing. He doesn’t care and he won’t be helpful to us in any way. He will barge in with ableist pseudoscience that will push us back 20 years. Stop propping him up. Please.

3 different medications cost me less than $30 total in December. Today, they cost over $1,000. They cost my entire monthly income as a severely-disabled, bedbound person on #SSDI and #Medicare. This is what eugenics looks like.

Our lab is working now on a manuscript showing how the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in the brain directly increases the fibrillation of amyloid protein. We need other labs and more people working on these questions, how viral infections can contribute to neurodegeneration? #NeuroCovid
