@txsalth2o I feel you. My child is the same way. Best of luck to you and your daughter.

@platoscove @unseen1_unseen Not a chance. Not passing it will be the final FU to Trump's base from the ones being ousted.

@NickJFreitas @SenWarren Not to mention the DHS employees who aren't being paid right now. Great job fighting the good fight, @SenWarren.

@VigilantFox @elonmusk I wholeheartedly agree with you. Also, it sounds an awful lot like a communist utopia, especially once the wrong people get into power.

@DavidMucci @GamewithDave Best PC game ever! My husband and I would race to the computer when we got home to play first.

@ConceptualJames None of the above.

@DataRepublican @LeaderJohnThune Republicans do this every f@cking time. Every time, without fail. It's disgusting.

@TheFreelyAshley Absolutely. I accessed them recently to get my STAR ID.

@TheFreelyAshley I had dinner at a friend's house as a kid. I don't know what they served, but it had a white sauce (not Alfredo) and it was horrible, but I ate because that's how I was raised. To this day, I avoid white sauces.

💊ATTENTION: I shared this article yesterday, but it didn't receive the eyes it deserved. I implore everyone to read this. Kim graciously allowed us to republish it from her Substack. You need to take a moment to read it, and follow and support @woodymatters - she aptly states:

"Sometimes our greatest purposes choose us."

Her husband committed suicide after starting Zoloft. Her story is absolutely heartbreaking and incredible.

This is close to my heart, because the same thing happened to my dear friend @GigiBowman who lost her daughter to suicide after starting this medication.

This is just one thing that caught my attention from this powerful piece, and it effectively highlights the corruption within big pharma in a few bullet points:

"Here’s a brief glimpse of Pfizer’s track record for safety and ethics. Many of these occurred during my early drug safety advocacy days and involved issues similar to Zoloft. Unfortunately, this behavior continues today.

🛑In 1996, Pfizer administered an experimental drug during a clinical trial on 200 children in Nigeria, but never told the parents that their children were the subjects of an experiment. Pfizer paid $75 million to settle in a Nigerian court.

🛑In 2004, Pfizer agreed to plead guilty to two felonies and paid $430 million in penalties for off-label promotion of Neurontin for unapproved uses. The New York Times published an article entitled, “Experts Conclude Pfizer Manipulated Studies.” Pfizer delayed the publication of negative studies, spun negative data to place it in a more positive light, and controlled the flow of clinical research data to promote Neurontin before going generic.  Unfortunately, I met several people who lost their loved ones to Neurontin suicide.

🛑In 2009, Pfizer was fined $2.3 billion, the largest healthcare fraud settlement at the time, for fraudulent marketing.  Pfizer pleaded guilty to misbranding the painkiller BEXTRA with “the intent to defraud or mislead.”

🛑In 2009, Pfizer paid $750 million to settle 35,000 claims that its drug, Rezulin, was responsible for deaths and liver failures. Eventually, the product was removed from the US market.  Dr. David J. Graham, the senior FDA epidemiologist, who warned about Rezulin, was also involved in identifying issues with antidepressants and suicide.

🛑In 2010, Pfizer was ordered to pay $142.1 million in damages for violating federal anti-racketeering law by fraudulently marketing Neurontin for uses not approved by the FDA.

🛑In 2010, The New York Times published an article entitled, “Pfizer Gives Details on Payments to Doctors.”  The disclosures were required by an agreement to settle a federal investigation into the illegal promotion of drugs for off-label uses.

🛑In 2012, Pfizer had paid $1.2 billion to settle claims by nearly 10,000 women that its hormone replacement therapy drug, Prempro, caused breast cancer.

🛑In 2013, Pfizer agreed to pay $55 million to settle charges of failing to warn patients and doctors about the risks of kidney disease, kidney injury, and kidney failure caused by its popular proton pump inhibitor, Protonix. In 2013, Pfizer paid $288 million to settle claims by 2,700 people that its smoking cessation drug, Chantix, caused suicidal thoughts, violence, and other severe psychiatric disturbances.  In the legal settlements, Pfizer silenced every victim, never to be able to tell their stories in public.  They also required all Chantix safety advocacy websites to be taken down. I believe Pfizer learned from the antidepressant suicide hearings, where it was victim after victim telling their powerful story in the open public forum. It’s hard to ignore these real-life experiences. So, Pfizer shut them up."

@DWStweets I thought the ACA was supposed to make health care affordable.

@TaraBull808 Any doctor who helped with that should have their license revoked.
