The original federal PA reform rule excluded drugs entirely — biologics, specialty meds, all of it. CMS just proposed fixing that with CMS-0062-P. Comment period closes June 15. Rheumatologists, you know what to do.

I’m horrified by our president’s genocidal threats - I have called, texted and faxed my representatives. Please do the same if you do not believe in the murder of innocent people.

I did a hackathon because, why not??

THREAD: Cherise Doyley was in her 12th hour of contractions at the hospital when a tablet was brought to her bedside. On the screen was a Zoom call with a judge and several lawyers and doctors. She was in court, a nurse told her. The reason? For failing to agree to a C-section.

I made a promise to Alex’s parents to continue to tell his story. An ICU nurse at the VA, an outdoorsman, a deeply generous, compassionate friend and family member, and a true son of Minnesota. Rest in peace, Alex.

I made my calls today, did you?

They think they can provoke us into abandoning our values. They are wrong. We will keep the peace. We will secure justice for our neighbors. And we will see this occupation end.

Every time this post or similar ones come back up on my feed I do tear up. I didn't know Alex, but I remember the nurses in residency who had my back, even when I didn't know anything and they could have just been rude to me for being in the way. I hope others get what a great guy he was.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Some ways to support Minnesota as people are murdered in the street by the government

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

JUST IN: The incident, which was caught on video, marks the second deadly shooting by federal officers in Minneapolis in less than a month.

another Claude Cowork use case! A website for my upcoming presentation!

It takes less than a minute to contact your elected officials!

I gave Claude Coworker access to my computer 😬 and it cleaned up 15 years of files and found a ton of space on my computer. I feel so organized!

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

Resistbot makes it very easy to let your officials know how you feel!

All of the best people are awkward 💗

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

Couldn’t sleep so worked with Claude AI on a citation formatter. Drop any PMID or DOI or already formatted citation and get a quick bibliography or switch between styles. I have citation managers but sometimes you need something quick and easy. Try it here: rheumify.netlify.app

I did a thing! I created a free manuscript (and abstract/idea) tracker for rheumatology researchers in Notion. check it out here! Would love feedback: quartz-keyboard-29d.notion.site/ScriptCycle-...

Colorado voters overwhelmingly supported a pair of ballot measures that increase taxes on wealthy households to ensure every public school child in the state is able to access free meals at school. It also provides support for school districts to buy food that is local, and gives raises to staffers.

More from Claude AI on test taking strategies.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

You found $40 billion to bail out Argentina. But refuse to provide a dime to keep American children from going hungry. Show some leadership, get off the golf course and reopen the government.

It is disgusting that Republicans CHOSE to let SNAP benefits run out today—letting millions of kids and families go hungry for political leverage.  The courts have made it clear that USDA must fund SNAP for November.

BREAKING: Senate GOP just BLOCKED Democrats' straightforward bill to pay our troops. If Republicans still refuse to work with Democrats to reopen the government and prevent health care costs from skyrocketing, they should at the very least be able to work with us to make sure our troops get paid.

The Republican Senate Majority Leader chose to send the Senate HOME rather than hold a vote to fund SNAP. He will force a vote 13 times on a bill he knows won't pass rather than vote ONE time on a bill to fund SNAP we KNOW would pass. Shameful.
