Hello #MedSky #ScienceSky anybody on here study #vestibular disorders and connections to anxiety/depression or know of some potential promising treatments? Asking for my Dad. Post pubmed links or whatever. Curious about potential of physical therapy and SSRIs to provide symptom relief? 👂🧪🩺

As far as I am concerned they are all “up” whenever the opportunity arises to primary them into the sun if they don’t call for Schumer’s ouster
@politico.com's @jordainc.bsky.social wrote that @kaine.senate.gov was "breaking with much of his caucus to advance the deal on the floor", which is tripe. 8 D votes were needed. The caucus was unified on the deal. The 8 Ds who voted for it were handpicked by Schumer because they're not up in '26.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.
If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?
