At least 11 federal agencies targeted by the Trump-Musk firings and cuts “have more than 32 continuing investigations, pending complaints or enforcement actions into Mr. Musk’s six companies”

Trump, Elon, and their allies are calling all spending they don't like "fraud." Spending on things like consumer protection, Social Security, and medicine for sick kids.
But just calling something "fraud" doesn't make it so. Here are the actual facts 🧵⤵️
🎙️ Caught on tape
"Kim Jong Un speaks and his people stand up at attention. I want my people to do the same."
This alone should be a disqualifying statement for someone seeking to be President.
🗞️ From our charity’s Advisor @zalaly:
“research into #LongCovid treatments is proceeding at a “snail’s speed…You have this huge problem & you’re addressing it with these small Band-Aid solutions. We need a much more robust much more comprehensive & much more ambitious effort””
"Major media outlets ensured that the top “Long COVID” results on Google that day would be minimizing, unscientific propaganda instead of news about activists, their work, their message, and their illness."
Sums up how #LongCovidAwarenessDay was hijacked

"People who had had #Covid were performing less well, particularly in executive function.”
Strange isn't it how we're told #LongCovid doesn't exist and it's just like the flu?
Yet after each infection - even mild - we are all measurably losing cognition

It is very apt that on #LongCovidAwarenessDay our latest #research position comes out to advert :-)
We have a fixed-term (initially) senior research post to support our #LongCovid anti-viral project:

Please share!!
Today on #LongCovidAwarenessDay 2024 we publish our Bill of Rights
We’re calling on the government, NHS, & research funders to guarantee these basic rights for everyone with #LongCovid
Too many have to self-advocate for care and support every day

🚨📹 Our peer support group has nearly 65k members from 100 different countries!
Our friends from around the world wanted to help raise awareness of #LongCovid on #LongCovidAwarenessDay … in their own words.
(We’ll do a longer version soon, as so many have wanted to help!)
"Damn you #Covid - you've stolen my energy and my mind. You've taken so much but you're not having everything....one day 'me' will return"
Thank you Hilary

Some things you should know if you don’t suffer from a chronic illness
We hate canceling plans or calling into work sick and we feel guilty when we do.
No matter how much you tell us you understand, in reality, you don’t, and you never will until you experience it.
We want your support and most days we really need it.
Unless we ask, we don’t want your suggestions or unsolicited advice on what we should do or try.
Every day is different for us, we have good days and we have bad days. A good day doesn’t mean we a “cured”.
Just because we look “fine” on the outside doesn’t mean we aren’t battling pain and challenges within.
From our Patron @EmmaSamms1:
“Every time I’ve worked since I’ve had Long Covid, I’ve had to have a dressing room close to the elevator, a nearby bathroom, a stunt double and a body double for anything strenuous”
