FDA's "green list" is a start, but with over 1,100 adverse events from compounded GLP-1s, more action is needed. @fetterman.senate.gov @governor.pa.gov the FDA needs to use its power and issue stronger regs that actually stop dangerous ingredients at the source. www.techtarget.com/pharmalifesc...

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote.

There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP

Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Please explain what just happened. Is there no way to stop this w the reconciliation to be used by GOP to get around the filibuster? Are we sunk?

Trump: We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funds.

Democratic governors should have all walked out together midway through that meeting but especially after Trump's attack on Gov. Janet Mills.

I don't know why they didn't. Makes no sense.

As an opinion columnist, it's interesting that 24 hours after the the worst U.S. terror attack in a while there are no opinions about it in the Times or Post or much anywhere else

Hard to say if that's everyone (like me) off for New Year's or because no one knows what to say about America anymore
