We've been raising concerns about this customized compounding strategy since February. Novo's statement to us in February seems quite similar to the language in the press release it issued today. $HIMS

I read Teva's answer to $CORT's motion to dismiss last night. I thought the legal analysis of why Teva needs access to Optime was pretty good. That's one of the big arguments I've struggled with. Would love to hear any views on the legal merits of the argument.

Three weeks ago, we publicly launched The 51st, and the immediate outpouring of support and enthusiasm for worker-led local news floored us. Now, we have one week and $55,000 left to go before The 51st can be a reality. Can you help us get there?
