Just astonishing good news. We are on the way to end Multiple Sclerosis.

University research delivers. Always has. Now a cabal in the White House is shattering it.
Epstein-Barr Virus #EBV was linked to #MultipleSclerosis - now a plausible cause has been found, misidentification by longterm memory T-cells that pick on the wrong protein, ANO2, instead of the EBV-antigen. Massive inflection towards the elimination of MS!!!

Researchers identified anoctamin-2 (ANO2) as a frequent autoimmune target in multiple sclerosis, with T cell responses against ANO2 occurring in over half of patients. These ANO2-specific T cells shar...

This is the safest, most moderate course of action that offers some prospect of de-escalation. It is the only way for Democrats.

Don't do it and we're on a glide path toward brutal fascist dictatorship or civil war. This isn't going to just stop on its own.
Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

This sounds crazy now, but in 2020, even the conservative-controlled Supreme Court was behind legal protections to trans people. Republicans were calling Neil Gorsuch a traitor. Josh Hawley said the conservative legal movement "over." Then the backlash started. ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

In 2020, the Supreme Court decided a single case that strengthened legal protections for trans people, and the conservative movement's response was to whip up an unhinged moral panic to ensure that Their Justices would never make such a grave mistake again
How the Conservative Movement’s Anti-Trans Crusade Brought the Supreme Court to Heel
Six years ago, the Court issued a landmark decision protecting the civil rights of trans people. Republicans set about making sure that that would never happen again.

The letter from Bill and Hillary Clinton to James Comer explaining their refusal to testify in his Epstein investigation is really remarkable, not like any letter of this genre I've seen. It's signed by them, not a lawyer, and the arguments are not legal ones. Reprinted from their X account:

My quote of the day

The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew.

The law does not (should not) base decisions on how inconvenient fixing your mistake would be. It's about whether you were legally wrong to do it in the first place. Fixing it is your problem.
