Hot take. Health class should be required for four semesters in high school and be one of the more difficult classes. It should cover basic anatomy and physiology, epidemiology, and pathology. Common diseases and treatments should be covered along with the basics of vaccination.

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away.

They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

DOGE is subject to FOIA requests. Raskin is trying to organize an effort to flood them with requests for what information they have on you and how they have shared it. They have 20 days to respond or you can sue.

You are complicit in everything that is to come in the next 6 months as a result of voting for this bill. The irony being that you traded short term pain for long term pain that wont be able to be undone.

You are clearly not up to the task of representing PA. Resign.
My YES vote is *not* an endorsement of this deeply flawed CR.

My YES vote is 💯 about refusing to shut our government down.

I refuse to punish working families and plunge millions of Americans into chaos.
 
I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever vote to shut our government down.

I love to call my Senators' offices three times per week and try to cajole them into doing the most elementary political messaging and strategy. This is what it means to be an engaged citizen: leaving a strenuously polite voicemail for a 74yo on a more regular cadence than I talk to my parents.

When people think of NASA, they think of crewed space missions, but NASA's impact on our life on Earth is huge. NASA has played a role is the development of CT scanners , the first laptop, sensors that enable your phone to take pictures, and so much more.

During grad school, I once had to pay a medical bill 25 dollars at a time until I could get student loans to cover my living costs so I could pay the whole bill. I joined the federal workforce because it was supposed to be stable and have good health insurance.

Contemplating if I can sign up for one of those NASA habitat experiments where they cut you off from the world for a year or two. It would be an awfully nice break from all these shenanigans.

I will never understand why, in the US, people think it is so bad for our government do things for the simple reason that it makes the world a better place.

What's that saying oh right "There Are Three Kinds of Lies: Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics"

Data can be manipulated to tell the story that the analyst wants it to. Remember to always consider the source of the analysis and their biases

Oh no who could have possibly seen this coming: "The information will go into an LLM (Large Language Model), an advanced AI system that looks at huge amounts of text data to understand, generate and process human language, the sources said." (1/2)
