Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.
More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.
I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

Rep. Jim Himes: Zelenskyy is watching 70,000 dead Ukrainians. Missiles are slamming into hospitals. This is what he’s seeing, and he comes to the Oval Office, and a reporter asks him why he’s not wearing a suit. And the effing VP wants him to say thank you…

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.
Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

Americans don't have a problem with the president of Ukraine's clothing choice, as his country is fighting off a Russian invasion.
We DO have a problem with a nonsuit wearing bloated billionaire, illegally and unconstitutionally rampaging through our government.
Musk has to be removed

Peak Disrespect. Trump and JD both need a swift uppercut to humble their dumb-asses.
Calling Zelensky’s eye rolls "disrespectful" to Trump is BS. Trump scolded him for not taking a ceasefire... as if signing a deal has ever stopped Putin from invading & killing Ukrainians. And JD Vance lecturing Zelensky on gratitude? Disgusting. Respect isn’t owed to those enabling your destruction

GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.
ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

Schiff: This is not who we are. We don’t bully an ally. We don’t take the side of a dictator. We’re just not what we saw displayed by the President of the United States today. I would say to our allies around the world that what they witnessed today might be Donald Trump, but it is not America.

When Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, Zelenskyy chose to remain in Kyiv, leading his nation amidst immediate danger. Despite offers of evacuation, he famously declared, "I need ammunition, not a ride," showing his commitment to stand with his people during the crisis. 1/3

Please stop mocking people for talking about elections like “oh isn’t it cute you think there’ll be another election.” You’re discouraging people from voting. Which is exactly what Trump wants you to do.

As far as IQ goes, I know doctors, lawyers, engineers, chemists etc. who voted for Trump, so saying “All Trump voters are low IQ” doesn’t hold.
However, it’s not IQ that gets you through life. It’s judgement. If someone voted for Donald Trump in November, their judgement is in their ass.
