A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

I have been lurking here for a while, and it is a wonderful platform. I'm a 70-year-old white woman living in a town of 350 or so. There are maybe 3-4 other democrats here. Some people have been good to me. I'm retired and have a cat and a worthless law degree.

You are up to date.
