GOOD NEWS! For the first time ever, Huntington's disease has been successfully treated. A groundbreaking new miRNA treatment, AMT-130, slowed the progression of the disease by 75%. These results are likely to support the first approval of a genetic treatment for the rare neurodegenerative condition.

@ruffledbygrace.bsky.social: Grief has a way of both stretching and sustaining gratitude. I have deep gratitude for the foundation you helped me build—my education, friendships and traditions. But I am stretched by the rift between who you were and who you have become.

I had the pleasure of meeting with @magaziner.house.gov (RI-02) this past week. It was a short interview but chock full. On Sept 3 he introduced the “Restore Trust In Congress Act” which would ban congressional stock trading. Now you might be asking, can it pass?

Three wins today, Sept 11, 2025

No matter how you’re feeling right now, it’s valid. You can be scared, anxious, happy, angry, hurt, it’s all valid. The important thing is you work within your current limits and you find a way to keep fighting.
