Some of our trip to Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh is a beautiful city. It is built in an area where 3 rivers actually meet. I recall going up there for work years ago, and never forgot it. 😊
idk how vigorous fda refs are. and supplements are , for the most part, are very helpful, if too $$$$. and idk what he has against naturopaths. most will refer you to mds when necessary. i’ve found them helpful in healing. again, tho, $$$$ and since insurance doesn’t recognize much of anything outside of drugs…:

neoliberalism. indeed.

“ Making good trouble and telling radical truths matter. As we build our collective power to tackle the work ahead that we will do together, my heart is full of love for you and our movement. Thank you for the support you gave me in this campaign — my gratitude for each of you is beyond what words can convey. I look forward to seeing you on the road to progress.”

Theres a lot Id do for Bernie but it ends at lifting a finger/putting in any work what some ever to support Newsom.
Newsom is not great but the alternative is wacko Republican Larry Elder who would be infinitely worse on the environment etc and in a position to appoint a Republican successor to 88 year old Feinstein which would mean bye bye to Bernie as Budget Chair.
Fair points, sucks for Bernie to have to pumpup these people meanwhile ‘they’ (the newsom neolibs) do everything they can to hamper Nina, etc.
Larry Elder almost makes DeathSantis palatable. He is a complete far right fruitcake.💩💩🤮
Pritzker may be a billionaire who self-funded his campaign, but overall, he gets good marks as he has encouraged and gotten approval for policies that most Illinoisans support. He has mandated indoor masks again but also added that all state employees need to be vaxxed or else get tested twice a week. I’m not certain if he has any POTUS aspirations. I hope not, but I would vote for him any day of the week over Harris.
