Serious question: Why on earth should Manchin be in charge of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee? He’s taken more money from fossil fuel sources than any other member of Congress, including every Republican. Hello?

Big Pharma says they need to charge astronomical prices to pay for research and development. Yet, the amount they spend on manipulating the market to enrich shareholders completely eclipses what's spent on R&D. Today, I confronted a CEO about the industry's lies, with visuals ⤵️

Pipe bombs found and destroyed at headquarters of RNC and DNC. Is that a 1st amendment right? Is this officially considered a coup attempt yet?

In America, you can be teargassed and shot with rubber bullets for peacefully protesting in front of a church.
But you can literally bust down the doors to the United States Capitol and stroll around while police officers watch.

Stop sharing the McConnell quote from 2016 about "The American People" having a voice in picking a new SCOTUS Justice. Just stop it. He doesn't care. He didn't care then, he sure as fuck doesn't care now. He's a traitor. He feels no shame, no pity, nothing.
End the GOP.

Despite its lifesaving benefits, many eligible patients do not participate in #CardiacRehab. Improve participation rates with evidence-based tools from this change package. bit.ly/2EdKeNp #CRSavesLives @AACVPR
Important data showing cardiac rehab is just as good no matter where it happens: in the VA or outside the VA. But just do it somewhere!

Dr. Meeta Shah @msmemesha out on the frontline! Telemedicine is a great tool to improve access during this pandemic.
