Marc Elia and his company @Invivyd are giving so much hope to those of us suffering form #longcovid 🙏🏻 (I’m an investor in the company because I believe so much in what they do)

@geoffroth The bald guy with the anger problem at short had a ton

@ThatBenSheehan What about that all Jewish team we used to play in softball?

It’s because Democratic SuperPACs spend their money on deeply out-of-touch consultants with no clue what they’re doing and (even rich) people don’t want to support that anymore.

“Fun” fact on Tax Day (per NYT): Undocumented people pay $20 billion in income tax. But the IRS may be sharing their info with DHS, so those taxpayers worry about filing. Our draconian crackdown on undocumented people is costing the government money well beyond the cost of enforcement.

@robert65968 What’s the difference between this and regular plasma apheresis?

Blood results back after 2nd DFPA therapy. Spread the word. Doctor McCairn is helping people. A friend of mine got accepted as a patient today after 5 years in the USA healthcare system. God Bless the people helping me here.

@ZdenekVrozina So would plasmapheresis be an option to clear this?

Patient-derived IgG in Long COVID appears functionally pathogenic - and in some cases, this autoreactivity persists for years🧵

@RepLuna The SAVE Act is not popular. But you’re right about the Senate stopping popular legislation — that was kind of its point!

The American people are witnessing a full blown breakdown in the Senate. We have a piece of overwhelmingly popular legislation that still can’t get passed thru. This entire ordeal has exposed the failures of our system to truly represent the voters. It’s all so corrupt.

@BasedMikeLee It’s not a lie. It’s true. But you could also just use a passport.

This Is A Lie

@ryangrim I genuinely feel dumber for listening to this

Ok this is legit funny

The paid grifters, partisan hacks, and bots are out in force—misleading people about the Constitution and the law—to defend Trump’s unconstitutional war. Here’s an important Iran war PSA: Contrary to what you may have heard about the War Powers Resolution (50 U.S.C. §§ 1541–1550), it does not allow the president to take military action for any reason for 60–90 days without congressional approval so long as the president notifies Congress within 48 hours. Section 1541(c) of the War Powers Resolution states clearly: “The constitutional powers of the President as Commander-in-Chief to introduce United States Armed Forces into hostilities, or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances, are exercised only pursuant to (1) a declaration of war, (2) specific statutory authorization, or (3) a national emergency created by attack upon the United States, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces.” Of the three cited authorities, not one indicates a presidential power to take unilateral (without Congress’s approval) offensive military action. The first two authorities allow the president to take offensive military action but only with Congress’s express approval (Article I of the Constitution grants Congress the exclusive power to declare war). The third authority allows the president to take defensive military action without Congress’s approval in the event of a specific type of national emergency, a sudden unforeseen attack on the United States (happening too quickly for Congress to meet) necessitating immediate action to protect Americans. It’s for this last situation (or for situations in which the president introduces forces into hostilities unlawfully) that the War Powers Resolution provides for the oft-mentioned 48-hour report to Congress (§ 1543) and 60-day (up to 90-day) timeline (§ 1544). If there’s an attack in progress on the United States (i.e., currently happening), we expect the president to respond swiftly to neutralize the attack and protect Americans—and then we will hold the president to account. The Framers of the Constitution agreed at the debates in the federal convention of 1787 that the president should have the “power to repel sudden attacks” but not the power to otherwise introduce forces into hostilities without congressional approval. The War Powers Resolution does not confer any new authority on the president to take offensive military action without congressional approval—nor could it under our Constitution. It instead checks the president when, as the Framers contemplated, the president introduces our Armed Forces into hostilities to repel a sudden attack. The fact that previous presidents have violated both the Constitution and the War Powers Resolution does not—and cannot—change the law or make any present military action lawful.

As yet another preemptive war is begun in the Middle East, John Quincy Adam’s words of wisdom still ring true: “Wherever the standard of freedom and Independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions and her prayers be.” Like most Americans I have sympathy for the plight of the Iranian people and all subjected people around the globe, from North Korea to Tibet. But as Adam’s wrote, America:  “goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.” The Constitution conferred the power to declare or initiate war to Congress for a reason, to make war less likely.   Madison wrote that “the Executive Branch is the branch most prone to war, therefore, the Constitution, with studied care, delegated the war power to the legislature.” As with all war, my first and purest instinct is wish Americans soldiers safety and success in their mission.   But my oath of office is to the Constitution, so with studied care, I must oppose another Presidential war.

@brndxix Cringe city.

Zohran Mamdani proved that Gen-Z wants to be talked to like actual adults and not just won over with shitty memes, the dnc’s response to that is an account with 67 in the @

An obvious question political reporters should be asking Schumer et al is why does DHS need a “short term” spending bill when Congress gave them $170,000,000,000 in mystery money a year ago to spend at their discretion? Are the lights at risk of turning off? The gas bill overdue?

@SenAlexPadilla Thank you Senator.

ICE and CBP's budget was already tripled last year. And how have they used those resources? To harass and terrorize our communities and kill U.S. Citizens. I'm headed to the Senate floor to speak out against funding Trump's ICE and CBP any further and for putting some guardrails on these rogue agencies. Tune in.

@jholb51 @breezyCLE Everyone who cares about the 2nd Amendment should be furious the government disarmed and shot a lawfully carrying gun owner.

@breezyCLE @ThatBenSheehan No thanks. The American people had a election. They voted for ICE to do their job

We the people, it’s time to step up. This is the phone number to call your Senators (202) 224-3121 Tell them your name, the state you reside in and urge them to filibuster the the upcoming Homeland Security appropriations bill unless: cred @ThatBenSheehan

In case there’s any confusion this is the guy behind ICE’s chaos and violence.

@PattyMurray Vote against the bill you just publicly touted.

This looks like an execution. There must be an investigation. There must be accountability. Joining ICE does not give you license to murder. The President is escalating the situation—and I have no faith he will stop. The Republican Congress must join us to end this. Enough.

Must watch: NYT just released a damning forensic analysis of the ICE shooting in Minneapolis. It flatly refutes Trump administration claims — confirming the motorist was driving away, not toward the officer, and the officer was not hit by the vehicle. nytimes.com/video/us/10000…

@0hour1 Propaganda account

Renee Good a professional protester out of Missouri was killed. She had no rights in Minneapolis Minnesota. Looks to be a paid pro activist.
