Breaking news — Congress has passed The National Plan to End Parkinson’s Act! Passed unanimously by the U.S. Senate today, the bill now heads to President Biden’s desk to be signed into law. This is a historic milestone for the PD community, and we could not have done it without our grassroots advocates who sent over 70,000 messages to their members of Congress urging their support.

We’re also grateful to the 215 senators and representatives who championed this bill, especially its lead sponsors, Senators @SenCapito and @ChrisMurphyCT and Representatives @RepGusBilirakis and @RepPaulTonko. We also extend our thanks to Senate Majority Leader @SenSchumer and Representative @RepWexton.

Learn more and to send a pre-written thank you message to your members of Congress for making this happen. https://t.co/G2mkNggCJT

In 2017, a 10-year-old Florida girl Juliana Ossa fought off a deadly alligator attack by sticking two fingers up the alligator's nose. This forced the alligator to open its mouth to breathe, which freed the girl's leg and let her escape. She said that she learned the trick from Gatorland.

Urgent call to the American public and neuroscience advocates to lobby hard against the 40% cut in @NIH Brain Initiative Funding. Spread the word and get active! Parkinson and Alzheimer’s as well as neurodegeneration diseases will be dramatically affected.
From the Director:
‘The NIH BRAIN Initiative’s success hinges on our ability to serve as good stewards of taxpayer investments. This approach has never been more important, considering this year’s recently passed appropriations bill, which provides $402 million for the BRAIN Initiative. This reflects a $278 million decrease from last year’s $680 million appropriation due to a drop in 21st Century Cures Act funds this year, combined with a drop in the BRAIN Initiative appropriation to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and the National Institute of Mental Health’s (NIMH) budget last year. The Cures Act funding is a congressional supplement designed to boost key innovation programs, such as the BRAIN Initiative, with predetermined, varying annual funds through fiscal year 2026.’

A U.S. Senate committee launched an examination of assisted living, holding its first hearing in two decades on the industry as leaders of both parties expressed concern about the high cost and mixed quality of the long-term care facilities. https://t.co/LRxGCjoq68

The sick evil of Hamas.

For 16 years, the terror group has indoctrinated and trained a generation of children in Gaza to glorify terrorists and aspire to kill Israelis.

Peace for Palestinians and Israelis is impossible with Hamas armed and in power in Gaza.

Important words by Hillary Clinton: “many women and girls were attacked brutally on October 7th. We must respond to weaponised sexual violence wherever it happens with absolute condemnation. There can be no justification and no excuses. Rape as a weapon of war is a crime against humanity. It is outrageous that some who claim to stand for justice are closing their eyes and their hearts to the victims of Hamas”. @HillaryClinton

Pope John Paul and Muhammad Ali had Parkinson's, @billieeilish has Tourette, Katherine Hepburn had essential tremor, Robin Williams and Dudley Moore had PSP, Leon Fleisher and the guy who draws Dilbert had/have dystonia. Guess what: most of the millions of people worldwide who have movement disorders are not celebrities. Everyone should join Victor Fung @movedisorder president on World Movement Disorders day to recognize everyone on the planet living with a disorder of motion. @ParkinsonDotOrg @PdAvengers

“I was going over a list of books that are banned in Tennessee [schools] and… the list was really staggering,” says novelist Ann Patchett. “Yet at the same time, we’re not doing anything to keep our children safe from guns… It’s ludicrous and an embarrassment… It’s a crime.”
