@Ike_Saul @elonmusk Thanks for providing this context. If you want to vote for Cuomo you can easily find his name. And, he lost the primary for major parties and is listed with the independents. Elon is doing what he does…getting attention for his interests.

@NatShupe @GavinNewsom @adamcarolla If Rogan would destroy him then why doesn’t he ask @GavinNewsom to be on the show? These dialogues are important. Hate mongering and demonization won’t solve the problems facing the US. Honest, respectful and passionate interaction will yield solutions.

GOP Senator Mitt Romney's statement on President Biden dropping out of the race:

“I’m a classic Republican and he’s a classic Democrat; obviously, President Biden and I usually didn’t see eye-to-eye. I opposed many of his initiatives. But we did find common ground on infrastructure, Ukraine, the Electoral Count Act, adding religious liberty protections to the marriage bill, gun safety measures, and chip manufacturing.

Others will judge his presidency. However, having worked with him these past few years, I respect President Biden. His decision to withdraw from the race was right and is in the best interest of the country. Ann and I send warm personal wishes to the President and First Lady.”

BREAKING: In a strong, defiant, and victorious moment, President Biden reaffirms that he is in this race to win it. President Biden is going to end Donald Trump’s political career. Retweet so all Americans see this.

Bullying backfired! 💥

This is Josh, he is often bullied at his school because of his weight. Out of spite, some students forced him to invite the most popular and beautiful girl in school to go to a dance (with the intention of him receiving a “NO!” for an answer, and being even more hurt)
Josh went to her house with a bouquet of flowers and made the proposal... The girl hugged him and accepted the invitation...
They were the King and Queen of the ball. 👉RT

@fopminui @dom_lucre My children r having a wonderful modern childhood. The younger boy went sledding yesterday for 2 hours, and the older worked out at the gym and went to the mall with a friend. They also played brawl stars and Fortnite for an hour or so. It’s all about choosing the things you do.

Israel has likely found evidence of Hamas hiding behind the Shifa Hospital. Now, seal off the access of Hamas and get out! Provide unprecedented humanitarian support for those dependent on these remarkable healthcare providers. Show the compassion that Israel is capable of.

Very important work to persuade Congress to improve the IRA legislation.

[Peter Kolchinsky @PeterKolchinsky]

Everyone in biotech should watch this Congressional testimony by three remarkable individuals.

Biotech CEOs Steve Potts (@DesertBiopharma) and John Crowley (@CONLEY15941395) defended the biomedical innovation ecosystem, advocated for the insurance reforms that are so essential to making medicines affordable, and pressed for a fix to the 9y small molecule penalty (change 9 to 13). They prepped, they he stood, and they spoke.

They were joined by the remarkable patient advocate John Czwartacki (@CZ), whose testimony, rooted in his own struggle with MS and appreciation of the power of innovation, is almost unparalleled by anything I've heard from anyone (@G17Esiason is in that zone). CZ made the point that we are all patients. He defended the power of the market to reveal what we all value... the pursuit of more and better life for everyone. He asked if the government can really be entrusted to be better than the market at calculating the value not only hope but real progress that transforms the lives of patients like him, like all of us.

It's also worth listening to the inventory of misunderstandings and misinformation that poured from the mouths of every single Democrat... except for Congressman @ScottPetersSD. He was the key leader in the House who stood in the way of HR3, which would have imposed price controls on all medicines at launch. I only wish that his own bill had passed instead of the IRA; he advocated for imposing price controls (Medicare Negotiation) after a drug had a patent-period of reward. Ultimately, his bill shifted HR3 from an extreme to the current "compromise" that gave biologics an adequate 13 years and small molecules a mere 9 years. And unlike any other Democrat who spoke at this hearing, he acknowledged that the IRA could and should be improved.

If only Democrats and Republicans could work together, there could be a majority that would pass the simple fix of changing 9 to 13 and keeping it budget neutral as Steve Potts proposed by just raising the minimum discount after 13 years (it's not like any investors assumes CMS will stick to the minimum discount anyways so the law may as well increase the discount so that the CBO can score those savings).

In the Senate, I think there would then be at least one Democratic Senator who would vote with Republicans to make that fix.

But President Biden would then need to sign it in. Imagine that... imagine a budget neutral fix to the IRA whose only effect was to restore incentives for small molecule innovation, taking more from old drugs to preserve incentives for new ones. Would President Biden shoot that down with a veto just because it was supported mostly by Republicans? Is he that spiteful? So arrogant about the perfection of this first draft of his landmark bill? I only hope we have the chance to find out.
