There’s such an easy answer to this “gotcha” question and it’s “Sports are inherently unsafe and unfair and it’s ridiculous to single out trans athletes when we allow 150 pound linebackers to go up against 260 pound linemen in freshman football on a daily basis. Let kids play with their friends.”

weird how they only ever point to Social Security and Medicare as the issues with the US budget... and not the fact that we've slashed taxes for rich people countless times since the 1980s while bulking up our defense budget for no good reason.

So my “I care so much I voted to cut your healthcare” Congressman Juan Ciscomani recently got a $5000 campaign contribution from stuffed bunny hostage taker Max Miller’s PAC. Ciscomani’s office has refused to say whether he will keep the donation. Hey, Arizona, let’s ask Rep Ciscomani about THAT.

Republicans stay mum on whether they’ll return campaign cash from embattled Max Miller
So far, just one House Republican has said he relinquished the contribution.

I have a patient with glioblastoma who got halfway through a clinical trial and was seeing great results, only to have his treatment ceased when the trial stopped.
He then spent $10,000 of his own money trying to use Expanded Access, and was denied.
Now, accessing treatment through Montana's SB535 is his last hope. There are biotechs and manufacturers willing to provide treatment, but only if we can get guarantees they won't be punished by @US_FDA for doing so.
I'll be in Washington D.C. with him on the 19th and 20th of this month, if anyone reading this would like to help, please tag your Senator and House Rep and ask them to make some time to meet with us.
