Tech bros also forget that biology is not code. Furthermore, they don’t get how little we know and that the only way forward is through the wet lab
The tech mindset applied to pharma falls apart eventually because you can’t “move fast and break things” in the clinic

BREAKING: Trump spent hours with a victim at Epstein’s mansion, according to emails from Jeffrey Epstein to Ghislaine Maxwell that were unearthed by Oversight Democrats.
In them, Epstein calls Trump the "dog that hasn’t barked."

Glad that they are saying it. Best thing that could happen would be to have him sue and explain in court why it is not true.
I honestly understand why the news folks don't want to expose their networks to more groundless lawsuits so I am glad that the Dems are just going out and saying it and daring Trump to sue them for it.
Seth Moulton went on MSNBC and straight up said "the president is a pedophile" and refused to walk it back even after the hosts kept trying to equivocate.

John Fetterman, Angus King, Maggie Hassan, Dick Durbin, Jon Ossoff, Jeanne Shaheen, Kirsten Gillibrand, Catherine Cortez Masto, Mark Warner, Cory Booker, and of course Chuck Schumer. Maybe others not top of mind. Not all responsible will publicly vote for the cave - that's not how this works.

Great messaging. “Appeasement” by Dems is a losing approach. Follow this guy and be confrontational and take the fight to the bully.
