Trikafta is one of the most inspiring medical advances in decades. Approved in 2019, the drug at first makes cystic fibrosis patients vomit up mucus for a whole day. But while they lose that day, they gain a lifetime–a healthy, *normal length* lifetime. It's a miracle drug.

I was fired yesterday by @RichardGrenell from the John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. One month ago, I was recruited to join the Kennedy Center as a Vice President. My firing came approximately two hours after @CNN sent an email asking me to comment on my past writings and statements about traditional marriage and homosexual influence in the @GOP. Here is the response I sent to @CNN: “It is an honor to work at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and with the many amazing people who are employed here. Comments rooted in my personal Christian views, which I have made in the past, have no impact upon my work here at the Kennedy Center nor do they impinge on my interactions with colleagues who do incredible work for the patrons of the Center. As a Christian I am called to work with others of different beliefs and worldviews. I am honored to work for President of the Kennedy Center, Ambassador @RichardGrenell and Chairman of the Kennedy Center, President @realDonaldTrump . I am united with them in their mission to bring wholesome entertainment showcasing the best of performing arts and music to America. It was truly not my intention to offend anyone with my comments. I have never intended to attack or demean any person in my statements, and have always shared the mission of Jesus, striving to love others unconditionally. The amazing beauty of the MAGA movement is we have people of many different beliefs inside our tent. We are all working together in unity to Make America Great Again.” CNN also contacted @RichardGrenell , who is a professing Christian and is married to a male spouse. As anyone that has followed my x account knows, I am also a professing Christian. I am at times outspoken on public policy, having authored seven books, my latest being CounterPunch: An Unlikely Alliance of Americans Fighting Back for Faith and Freedom. I also frequently speak at churches and Christian conferences. I had met @RichardGrenell during my time as a political organizer in Arizona. I asked for an explanation of my dismissal, and I asked to speak to @RichardGrenell --Both of those requests have been ignored. The only explanation is the one given to me at the time of my firing. “Floyd, you must recant your belief in traditional marriage and your past statements on the topic, or you will be fired.” Needless to say, I refused to recant and was shown the door. My beliefs are much more common to Biblical Christianity. My only conclusion is @RichardGrenell was intimidated by a @CNN story, which hasn’t been aired or published, so he preemptively fired me for my Christian beliefs on marriage.
