@GetMeRoss This is not accurate. I lived there during the pandemic. Yes there were restrictions during peak spread, but the restrictions came off just as fast as they went on. Not even close to places like California, Washington and other crazy states like them.
You should never have to fight the government while fighting for your child's life. We are cutting unnecessary red tape, aligning regulation with modern biology, and clearing a path for breakthrough treatments to reach the patients with rare diseases who need them most.
This week, @SecKennedy approved adding Duchenne muscular dystrophy and metachromatic leukodystrophy to the Recommended Uniform Screening Panel for newborns, allowing earlier treatment and more hope for families.
Thank you to @SenatorWicker, @SenKatieBritt, @SenRonJohnson, @RepGusBilirakis, and the many patient advocates who joined the celebration.
.@HRSAgov Administrator Tom Engels: “Without newborn screening, families can spend a lot of time wondering what is going on with their child…Today, we’re going to know from the very beginning what might be happening with that child and give the families hope and opportunities.”
“As my uncle has said, ‘although children may be the victims of fate, they will not be the victims of our neglect.' This action honors that principle. Early screening gives every child a fair chance at timely, effective care, and it delivers families the answers and treatment options they deserve—right when they need them most.” —@SecKennedy

$250 million in taxpayer money blown on DEI at the University of Michigan...
“On its own terms, the DEI project was a massive failure,” Goldwater's @TimMinella writes for @NRO: https://t.co/TikJjHQiS9
I've said this before but it's worth repeating: World history is defined by the following simple rule. There are two groups on either side of a river. Each covets various resources from the other group. The only thing that stops a perpetual conflict between the two groups is the realization by each group that the other will respond in equal measure (or worse) if attacked. Now imagine that the West has decided to throw away this defining dynamic that shapes this fundamental historical reality. Defending what is ours is rooted in our genes; it is a central feature of our human nature. But the West has said that we are so progressive, so empathetic, so enligteneed that we are not bound by pediastrian biology. Hence, we will not defend our culture; we will not defend our heritage; we will not defend our religion; we will not defend our women; we will not defend our children; we will not defend our values. According to our Western leaders, only barbarians worry about such defensive concerns. We are open, tolerant, kind, compassionate, welcoming. No amount of evidence can convince us that other groups might do us harm. And hence, we brainwash our children who become our politicians; we rejoice in the rape of our societies because this proves that we are kind. It is a mixture of what I discussed in The Parasitic Mind and what I'll be presenting to the world in my next book Suicidal Empathy. I frankly am running out of optimism; I'm bereft of hope. I fight every day at great personal and professional cost. But how can you change anything when your society is hellbent on committing orgiastic suicide?
