💔HEARTBREAKING—These twins need a $4.2 million one-time drug to save their lives (Spinal muscular atrophy). Their mother’s health insurance (and her employer) @Mosaic_LifeCare conveniently told the family the drug was cut from their coverage precisely one day after they were born. Total coincidence, my ass.
It’s also a race against the clock to get the treatment Zolgensma for the twins before it’s too late. If Zolgensma is given soon after birth, children may develop no significant disabilities. Children who receive the drug when they are a little older may avoid a feeding or breathing tube, and capable of some movement, rather than a life spent immobile, or death (<2 years usually), if not treated.
Zolgensma is sold by @Novartis. The drug sells for $1 million in Brazil, but $2.1 million in the U.S. Also in Brazil, if the child dies of SMA disease within 4 years, part of the $1 million payment is waived. But not in America. Many patients have had to sue health insurance to get the treatment covered—often at the expense of further disability of the untreated child.
All this is further enrage, when in fact, federally funded NIH research contributed to the development of Zolgensma. ➡️READ: Taxpayer dollars helped create the drug. Now the public is being shafted.

There is a GoFundme but this shouldn’t be the long term solution for other families. @Mosaic_LifeCare & @Novartis both need to be help accountable.

BREAKING: Donald Trump's chances for prison skyrocket as bombshell reporting reveals that he recklessly discussed sensitive intelligence about U.S. nuclear submarines with a foreign billionaire at Mar-a-Lago.
And it gets even worse...
According to source familiar with the matter, Trump shared the submarine information with an Australian billionaire who then shared it with scores of others including at least a dozen foreign officials, his own employees, and even a handful of curious journalists.
This wasn't an intelligence leak, it was a flood.
The stunning allegation was reported to Special Counsel Jack Smith who is currently investigating Trump's illegal smuggling and hoarding of classified documents at his Florida compound.
Prosecutors and the FBI have repeatedly interviewed the billionaire in question, Mar-a-Lago member Anthony Pratt, and he was the one who spilled the beans on Trump.
Pratt claimed that during a conversation with Trump, he mentioned the American submarine fleet. The ex-president then got excited, leaned closer to be stealthy, and told him two crucial pieces of information about U.S. submarines:
1) The exact number of nuclear warheads they carry.
2) Exactly how close they can get to a Russian submarine without detection.
This information would be EXTREMELY useful to America's adversaries and is something Trump should never have revealed.
Pratt then went on to share the information with at least 45 other people via emails and conversations.
Enough is enough. The longer Trump remains a free man, the more secret information he will be able to reveal. It's time to lock him up for good.
Please retweet and ❤️ if you want Trump behind bars as soon as possible — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a “woke” new Twitter competitor that is exploding in popularity because it banned Trump for life and because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: tribel.app.link/okwPIHYCIqb

Alabama has a new, fairer congressional map that gives Black voters an equal opportunity to elect a candidate of their choice.
This is a historic win for voting rights and democracy, and it happened thanks to the hard work of Black voters, advocates, and organizations like @RedistrictFdn.

Transparency will be crucial in the trials of the U.S. v. Donald J. Trump.
It’s why dozens of my colleagues joined me today in urging that these proceedings be broadcast for the public.
If the American people are to accept the outcome, it will be vitally important for them to witness, as directly as possible, the full facts and evidence.

Hey MAGA,
In 4 years, Donald Trump increased our national debt by $7.8 Trillion, he was the worst jobs president since the Great Depression, lost his party’s majority in the House and the Senate, lost his own re-election (yes really) and left office with a 34% approval rate.
He spent $15 Billion of our dollars (taken mostly from our troops you say you support) to build 450 miles of the wall Mexico was supposed to pay for, he didn’t fix your roads or bridges, get you broadband, lower the cost of your meds, didn’t bring back manufacturing, end the opioid crisis or repeal & replace Obamacare.
So, let’s be real here - when you say you “miss the mean tweets”, that’s because you really don’t care at all about what he did or didn’t do.
That’s not what “makes America great” in your eyes is it?
You miss the hateful, racist, intolerant shit he said and let you say too.
Isn’t that it?

Four years ago, I teamed up with @EricHolder to launch @AllOnTheLine. The goal was to take on gerrymandering and make democracy more representative.
Since then, they’ve made incredible progress – including helping secure what is by some measures the fairest congressional map in 40 years, and helping win two landmark cases before the U.S. Supreme Court: Moore v. Harper and Allen v. Milligan.

Kalief Browder was FALSELY accused of stealing a backpack. He spent three years in Rikers Island, one of the worst prisons in the world, awaiting trial, mostly in solitary confinement.
He committed suicide.
Donald Trump has 78 federal and state criminal charges. He goes home every night.
He’s running for president.
