There were about 35 of us in Oxford, Alabama. We got a lot of traffic and most responses were positive. As I said, even if we pierce the veil of, "I didn't know people were protesting", we've made a difference.

90% of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer die from the disease. That's why the medical community is excited about the results of a small trial in which nearly half of the pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine for the disease remained relapse-free three years later.

Apparently Schumer won’t let you leave a message. So Write to his chief of staff Mike Lynch (mike_lynch@schumer.senate.gov), his deputy CoS (erin_vaughn@schumer.senate.gov), comms director (alex_nguyen@schumer.senate.gov) and press secretary (allison_biasotti@schumer.senate.gov).

Sure hope people don’t use this information to org protests against Neville Schumer.

Meanwhile Schumer is going on a book tour! Here's all the locations and dates. Sorta weird how he's caving just before the book tour starts!

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

🥀In the Murmansk region of Russia, the ruling United Russia party gave gifts to mothers on Women’s Day, whose sons died while trying to occupy Ukraine… Meat grinders. Symbolic, don’t you think?

Mitch McConnell: “We’re in a very, very dangerous world right now, reminiscent of before world war two,” he says. “Even the slogan is the same. ‘America First.’ That was what they said in the ’30s.”
