Tirzepatide accidentally saved my life when no one was taking my long covid seriously or even understood how badly it was messing me up. I truly hope they find some solid evidence it can help others, too.
We've just launched the first large, site-less (home, direct to participant) randomized trial for treatment of #LongCovid, testing tirzepatide (a GLP-1 drug) vs placebo. Please help spread the word

when MAGA Americans are watching their parents ration heart medication and drawing straws to decide who tells the kids that Santa can’t afford to come this year, at least they can take comfort in knowing they have temporarily inconvenienced the economy of the Falkland Islands

This is great. You can even type in your congressman's name in the search engine and find all the buildings that have been put up for sale in your district. Then call your congressman and ask what they think about this.
NEW: The US General Services Administration plans to sell hundreds of government buildings, including FBI headquarters.

A friend of mine jokes that grocery shopping in Canada now is like visiting a library. The aisles are full of people quietly reading product labels as part of the spontaneous boycott of US products. We love our neighbours to the south, but really abhor President Goober.

I realized today that Trump, Musk, DOGE, Vance, Miller, Vought and their many collaborators have broken so many laws already that they know they have to destroy our government and entire way of life to stay out of jail. This is all or nothing. We should respond accordingly.

Interesting to see how quickly American foreign policy pivoted from "Get clean drinking water for children without hope" to "Do ethnic cleansing for condos with Mediterranean views."

First foreign leader to visit the White House has an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court for alleged crimes against humanity and war crimes.
I haven't heard that mentioned once during the coverage of his visit. There was a time when a charge like that would have made him a pariah.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.
