In Sweden, blood donors get a text message whenever their donated blood is used to save a life. Launched in Stockholm in 2012, this innovative program aims to boost donations by showing donors the real impact of their contribution. Do you think all countries should adopt this approach?
Only in Illinois where just a third of Illinois students are proficient in reading and math can Governor JB Pritzker claim “great strides are being made”. This after spending on average $21,700 per students, $2,000-$8,000 more other Midwest states.
Meanwhile, in Chicago on the SAT just 11 percent of Black students are proficient in reading and 8 percent in math while 18 percent of Latino students are proficient in reading, 15 percent in math. This despite spending $30,000 per student and having ONE staff person for every 7.6 students.
🚨#BREAKING: The NC Department of Transportation confirms it partnered with "Innovative Bridge Company" to build a stunning 37 bridges OUT OF RAILWAY CARS in Western North Carolina!
This is the first time this has EVER been done in NC.
A single bridge can be built in 48 hours.
"There has been no dialogue with the fiancé."
Ellen Greenberg's family has not heard from her fiancé Sam Goldberg, according to their attorney.
Despite 20 stab wounds, her death was ruled a suicide.
But now -- 14 years later -- the medical examiner has changed his mind.
I don’t think @GovernorShapiro realizes how he just self-destructed with one, long, horrible, convoluted, denial of an answer.
It will haunt him.
For a very long time. Guaranteed.
That @GovernorShapiro's response to the recent developments in the Ellen Greenberg case is to tell her family that "Lashing out isn’t going to change the evidence" is disgraceful. If that is truly his attitude, then the man isn't fit to be a dogcatcher in Pennsylvania, much less Governor. (And yes I heard the pablum at the beginning. He might as well have started "with all due respect.")
I don't know if Ellen died by suicide or was murdered. I don't know because the city of Philadelphia performed a shoddy investigation that no one can, or should, trust. All Ellen's parents have ever asked for is an unbiased investigation. Instead they get treated like this, by the same man who washed his hands of the matter when he was attorney general. At the very least, @GovernorShapiro should apologize for his callous and disgusting statement.
I was hopeful about the new investigation, but this attitude just goes to show that some people in power in Pennsylvania are not interested in the truth. I hope @PAAttorneyGen will do the right thing and finally give this case the real investigation it deserves.
Honored that Othram could assist the Toronto Police Service in identifying the suspect in the 1998 murder of 24-year-old of Donna Oglive. The suspect has since been arrested on the charge of First Degree Murder. #dnasolves

Kudos to Brian for confronting @GovernorShapiro about Ellen Greenberg.
A few quick thoughts:
1) I hope on NewsNation tonight we see more questions from Brian where he asks the governor about his connection to Sam Goldberg’s uncle & cousin - (James Schwartzman and cousin Kamian) who Sam called before 911.
Josh Shapiro went to high school with James’ daughter.
James also supported Josh’s various campaigns. James is/was a powerful Philly criminal defense attorney.
With that said, I’ve been in Brian’s shoes and it’s very difficult to ask even close to all your questions— there is pressure to move it along —especially since the presser had nothing to do with Ellen Greenberg.
2) The Governor, I think, is (not so) subtlety gaslighting the Greenbergs — it’s ok “for them to lash out at me” — Greenberg family didn’t want me handling it, again laying blame elsewhere …
And, of course,“need more evidence other than what someone says” …referring to the ME changing his ruling from a suicide to something other than a suicide JUST THIS PAST SATURDAY after 14 years. Anything BUT A SUICIDE.
He’s NOT just someone. Dr. Marlon Osbourne issued the original ME report on Ellen. His word matters.
We need to hear from Dr. Osbourne about WHY he initially switched his ruling from homicide to undetermined to suicide (after a closed door meeting with Philly Police, the ME and others).
Governor Shapiro is very smart and very well aware of ALL these details.
Instead it’s essentially the Greenberg’s “problem” that they’re in this situation where “no parent should have to bury a child”.
3) He has authority as Governor to order an investigation or order @PAAttorneyGen to do so.
Instead, he passed the buck again. He put the onus on @chescoda …effectively still turning a blind eye.
4) His answer is so measured. The Governor is careful with EVERY SINGLE word he says. There is zero genuine compassion in my opinion.
5) He’s very slick. His manner of speaking, gesticulating, even facial movements are eerily similar to President Obama.
6) Governor Shapiro is smooth but this case will come back to bite the Governor in the proverbial ass, as well as his Presidential aspirations.
It’s never too late to step up and do the RIGHT thing.
I’ll be watching NN tonight. And good on them for applying some pressure to the man in charge of PA.

This child victim was abused in ways most of us would never think of by many many man adults in Long Island NY and now she fu**ing suffers this?! Cleaning needs done in that community and in the organizations that are protecting our most vulnerable!
@conlin_lauren@JoeGiacalone Right?! Someone that was on the team to help this child mentally, spiritually, and physically! This is honestly one of the worst cases I have ever seen!
