So let me get this straight.

Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.

Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.

Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.

Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.

And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”

Please.

To the friends & families of the Rob & his wife, and on behalf of the majority of Americans, I’m so sorry this disgusting felon posted such a disrespectful deplorable evil cruel ruthless statement.

I’m embarrassed to be an American.

@NBCSGiants What is that constant repetitive clicking sound behind Kruk and Kuip tonight?? It makes for very challenging viewing / listening! Please see if it might stop? Thank you!! Go Giants!!

Nothing says @GOP values like taking from the poor to give to the rich.

[Nancy Cole @nanCy]

As someone terrified by the threat to the environment, education, the oppression and freedom of women and girls... I'm grateful to be here in CA.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

California is ready to fight.

I just called an emergency special session to help bolster our legal resources and protect our state against any unlawful actions by the incoming Trump Administration.

Whether it be our fundamental civil rights, reproductive freedom, or climate action -- we refuse to turn back the clock and allow our values and laws to be attacked.

Texas, your women will suffer as OBGYNs move out of state, maternal health becomes litigious, & pregnant women are denied medical attention as a result. The disgusting story of #NevaehCrain is one of many. Her blood is on your hands, @GregAbbott_TX https://t.co/ka9pWrlgRt

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.

I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.

My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California.

That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.

Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.

It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.

I want to tune out.

But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.

And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.

That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious.

For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing.

The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better.

It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!

But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems.

It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.

We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.

That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.

Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us.

And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. https://t.co/eHFZ723I4H

@elonmusk Thank goodness. Who is meant to support unplanned pregnancies? You? The Republican agenda does not have empathy for a child post birth... only control the mother while pregnant (and no accountability for the father). Once born, all concern for the baby vaporizes.

Should government be able to shut down a privately funded clinical trial without cause?

Urgent plea: If you care about people battling mental illness, please help us by signing this petition to keep a government official from shutting down a landmark privately funded inpatient trial of medical keto for schizophrenia in Maryland.

Those of you who know our family's story know how personal this is for us. Our son might not be here today without medical keto therapy, and we desperately want others to have access to trials of this important treatment option. You can imagine how alarmed we are by this news as reported in @baltimoresun today:

https://t.co/G9eDCuI3Lm

In summary, Maryland’s Secretary of Health Laura Herrera Scott, MD, has halted a foundational ketogenic diet study among schizophrenia inpatients at the Spring Grove Hospital Center. The study is being conducted in conjunction with the Maryland Psychiatric Research Center at the University of Maryland. It is led by Professor Deanna Kelly, who has conducted more than 25 NIH and foundation-sponsored trials.

Notably, this landmark trial is the only inpatient study of ketogenic therapy for serious mental illness in the United States. Halting this trial needlessly slows the progress of metabolic psychiatry research and begs the question of who has the authority to decide what science should be pursued and on what grounds.

According to the Sun, the patient population at Spring Grove is “a vulnerable group of people, who often have a history of homelessness and untreated or treatment-resistant mental illnesses. Roughly 70% are Black. Many are from economically disadvantaged families or have fallen from higher socioeconomic levels due to illness or drug use.” We have to ask ourselves whether the Maryland Health Department should have the right to prevent these consenting patients from accessing new treatments through clinical research.

Before the Secretary’s action, repeated attempts were made to discuss the study and its potential with Secretary Herrera Scott. Advocates, patients, caregivers, and legislators also appealed to the Secretary, asking her to reconsider the decision. The Maryland Psychiatric Society, representing 775 psychiatrists in the state of Maryland, formally requested that the research be allowed to continue:

“The prospect of discontinuing essential research programs not only threatens the rights of patients but also undermines the efforts of dedicated healthcare professionals striving to provide the best possible care. The ramifications of such a decision extend far beyond the confines of these centers, impacting disadvantaged and disabled individuals across Maryland who rely on the benefits of esteemed and reliable research and clinical programs for access to innovative treatments and specialized care.”

After a 16-week review, the Health Department found no health and safety concerns and confirmed the keto trial decision was not based on human subject concerns. It was described as a “procedural” decision and appears without clear cause.

I urge you to share this tweet widely and to sign the petition authored by @ChrisPalmerMD which calls on Secretary Herrera Scott to immediately reverse her decision: https://t.co/1QaMWlQHYu

You can also contact the Secretary directly and ask her to immediately reverse her decision:
Social media: Fundin
Email: [email protected]
Phone: [phone] (toll-free, Maryland), tdd: 1-800-735-2258 (toll-free)

Together, I hope we can persuade the secretary to overturn this decision and protect the rights of patients to access cutting-edge research.
