I’m on a second round of revisions for a manuscript.
The other reviewers said — looks great thanks for doing everything we asked. Accept.
Reviewer 2 keeps saying they don’t see the value of the study because if there’s a couple on HBCUs and this topic already, ain’t that enough.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

No former and current federal employee should feel good about the fact that chuck and gang have decided to cave on the ACA subsidies.
It’s a slap to the face of everyone who has suffered this far to fight back. Every single one of them needs to be primaried.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Putting everything else aside (to the degree possible), what kind of fool takes the republicans party at their word, and believes in anything they promise.
If you were anywhere but in a coma for the last decade, this makes absolutely no sense.
