Cortez Masto and Rosen too. No wonder there was a flurry of sudden activity. They clearly got the green light to vote however on this one since it was already passing.

Sinema voted for Warner's amendment so that should be the ballgame.

Update/more info on yesterday's shooting: This is heartbreaking. A child has to grow up without a mother now because of this asshole's stupidity. and why in this day and age are people pointing guns at others as a "joke"? Article said he did it lunch but it was the training gun, then while feigning exasperation due to her delaying the pic he picked up the real one to do it again? JFC people.

elle, it looks like the study the original tweeter is referring to was a 2013 study? I hope this is new news but it might not be.

My dad has MS (albeit a very mild case). He’s had it since I was 4. We’ve been super fortunate that for most of my life it’s been super mild and in control. But in the past few years we’ve noticed an uptick in symptoms. News and studies like this gives me so much hope.

This is very similar to DD1s cancer treatment. They took her T cells out of her body. Genetically engineered them in a lab to attack all B cells in her body. Then they put them back in so they attacked all her B cells. (She has zero B cells and since leukemia forms on her B cells there is no place for it to form)

This is great. My dad has progressive MS and I’m pretty sure is advanced enough that this wouldn’t help him. But hopefully this will help others not be in his situation.
