It's that time of year when Americans set up quaint, walkable Christmas villages in their living rooms, dreaming of living in such a cozy place.

​Meanwhile, they'll show up to city council meetings to fiercely oppose any plan that would actually build that kind of car-lite community in real life.

This new gene editing strategy ignores nonsense mutations that produce a truncated protein instead of "repairing" the gene. This allows more patients to be treated.

There is some hope cystic fibrosis & Duchenne muscular dystrophy. This study was #NIH funded.

+ every $1 invested in NIH research returns ~$1.47 to the economy

Every $1 invested in women’s health returns $3! to the economy.

It’s clear who is not valued in this society.
To recap:
•Universal healthcare would save 68,000 lives & $450B annually
•Every $1 spent on SNAP results in $1.80 boost to local economies & small businesses
•The child tax credit decreased child poverty to a historic low of 5.2%, abolishing it increased it by 45%

An uptick in peanut allergies in children around the turn of the century prompted parents to avoid peanut exposure. But updated research showed that early introduction is both safe and effective at reducing allergies.

• Chronic Hepatitis
• Liver failure
• Cancer

Babies are at HIGHEST risk for severe outcomes from hepatitis B if infected.

There's also a weird conventional wisdom forming that the Democratic agenda is toxically unpopular and that Republicans are delivering what voters want.

This is laughably false. Trump is the most unpopular president in modern history and his entire agenda is underwater.
