So cool. I didn’t realize Hunter Greene is now playing for Washington. That’s great. Glad that I met Phil. He has quite an “ALS resume”. Thanks for sharing and best of luck to Hunter!!

Hope you’re not expecting MAGA voters to understand that number. They probably think it’s a lot. 🤦‍♂️

Wishful thinking. If someone bought in to Trump and his hundreds of unqualified ass-kissers for the last 10 years, it would destroy them to admit they were wrong. Too much rewiring in the brain would have to take place. Lots of fodder for the psychologists and sociologists in the future.

“Advocate” and “Community” member are pretty low on the totem pole. Only $15k and $10k, respectively. Hope coffee and danish come with that.

So true. Do they even get it? You’d think that 2,000 years of a religion would have resulted in something better.

I am surprised that just over 5% of the people were taking edavarone and less than 1/3 were taking riluzol. Is it b/c of cost, awareness, lack of promotion from their HCP, infusion issues, other? Makes me wonder what a reasonable goal is for % of people w/ ALS enrolling in clinical trials.

No integrity. No courage. Bald-faced liars, and they all kiss the ass of one of the worst human beings ever at a North Korean level. They will live the rest of their lives in infamy. Just their money to give them comfort.

Must be a helluva lot of fun to hang out with these guys after work or in the back of the Ryder truck. What assholes! And if there is a decent one in the organization, imagine what that’s like. Wanting to do better but you’re outnumbered.

We're launching our Push for Progress campaign to accelerate ALS research, expand treatment access, & secure $1BN in federal funding over 3 years. ALS is at a tipping point CLOSE to new treatments, but thousands will lose access unless we TAKE ACTION @ iamals.org/progress

I look forward to the future “MAGA/Trump” exhibit that will teach future Americans how millions of people celebrated a dumb, amoral, criminal with hats and flags as he pulled them into his ignorance. Gonna need a lot of space for it. Maybe the White House ballroom?

Good job! What kind of orders are these fat fucks getting when they head out? Do they have no shame? Do any of them think this is not what I signed up for? Enjoy it now; “ICE agent” on a resume won’t get you far in a few years.

Teams of 10 or 20 armed to the teeth to capture non-criminals. Pathetic. Unfortunately, it’s their bosses or bosses’ bosses ordering these performances. My guess is respect is plummeting for these agencies. Deserved for now. Hopefully reversible.

True, the overall math is brutal for a lot of reasons, but this webinar is trying to get more people access to trials while the inclusion window is still open. It shouldn’t be the patient’s responsibility to gain access, but unfortunately it is.

Agree. We don’t deserve it for a lot of reasons. We can host it down the road when everything that’s being fucked up is on the road to recovery. Sorry, might be a while LA.

Everyone is focusing on Ernst, as absurd as she is, but this falls on the majority of Iowans who voted for her and likely would again. You can’t knowingly vote for this and not accept the blame and the shame.

Why do any world leaders come to Washington to visit our POS leader? You can bet they are talking amongst themselves and planning to carry on without the U.S. Too bad for us, but I can't blame them. It will take years for us to recover our reputation. Maybe we don't deserve to.

I’ll play. Let’s say we require Great Lakes freighters to carry a more effective life preserver for the sailors. Add 1 reg, take away 10, and we’ll soon be back to the good ol’ days.
