My take from the Smith hearings: To be a GOP senator today, you have to be a lying piece-of-shit, who puts loyalty to party & our lying piece-of-shit president, above their oaths to the Constitution & their obligations to tell the truth & do what rights to the American people! Repost if U agree

IDK how anyone thinks Paxton is good for Texas. 21 people were murdered in Uvalde, including 19 children. Calling that part of God’s “plan” is beyond grotesque. Some comments reveal more about a politician than any campaign ad ever could. This is one of them.

I'm amazed by new CRISPR findings for aggressive blood cancers (AML/MDS)! Doctors can edit donor stem cells to remove CD33, letting therapies target cancer without hitting healthy cells. In a trial, 19 of 30 patients maintained blood counts. Incredible protection!

Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵
