The FDA has approved elinzanetant, a new drug for menopausal hot flashes and night sweats that may also help with menopause-related sleep problems. Significant news for patients who can't take estrogen; nonhormonal treatments have been very limited.

On the one hand, having the CDC crumble the same day the COVID vaccine is restricted & there was another mass shooting of children is pretty bad.
On the other hand, 10-12 million people are about to be priced out of their healthcare coverage and another 12-14 million will have to downgrade theirs.

🚨🚨🚨 OK, it's the final stretch.
There's 7 more states to go. I'm gonna post them all in one thread.
4 of them have massive numbers of enrollees.
3 only have a small number of enrollees but the rate hikes for some enrollees are TRULY jaw-dropping.

I’ve seen so many people spreading the misinformation that PBS is shut down or is shutting down.
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been shut down and PBS has been defunded.
HOWEVER!!! PBS still exists. It is more important now than ever that you donate to PBS if you can.

The military, including National Guard troops, are bound by the Constitution and must respect our rights, including the right to protest, freedom of speech, and due process.
If troops violate these boundaries, they and their commanders could be exposed to legal consequences.

Still free. Still easy. For now.
