Channel 4 coverage of the new £4.75M UK government funding for SequenceME. “For decades, many people with ME have been told it is in their heads… But now, a new project will look for the answer in our very DNA, with the world’s first genomic study into ME.” #MECFS

An entirely new security equation will be needed after this war. Won't be easy. GCC dependency on the US is partly why they're in this dire situation. Finding a new relationship with Iran will be difficult, given Iran's attacks. But there is no other way: geography is permanent.

Rep. Moulton: "Trump said that 'people die in wars' but at least we owe them an explanation. Now 3 families are living that nightmare. My heart is with the fallen and the wounded. They deserve better leadership than this. Mr. President, what are you asking them to die for?"

Don’t let these MAGA influencers lie to you or distract you. President Trump’s big ugly bill is taking healthcare away from millions while he uses his DOJ to target his enemies. We see MAGA influencers and politicians will justify anything Trump does to stay in the good graces of Dear Leader.
