FOLKS!! Juwan Adams is an extraordinary 17 year old in Abington, PA, and is in desperate need of a stem cell donor match to survive Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

Juwan is ALSO on a mission to recruit more African American donors as they are particularly unlikely to find a match.
2/ I'm told African-Americans comprise only 4% of donors -- so Juwan’s chance of finding a suitable match is only 23% as compared to 77% for whites.

Potential donors can text JUWAN to 61474 and send in a cheek swab to potentially save lives.
3/ Doctors at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia says Juwan's only chance to defeat Hodgkin’s lymphoma is to receive a transplant from a close-matching donor as soon as possible.

In his questions for @SecPompeo, Rep. @tedlieu said Mick "Mulvaney told the Conservative Political Action Conference that the coronavirus was the hoax of the day."

That's not what Mulvaney said.

1/
2/ Mulvaney said at CPAC today that 5-6 weeks ago, the admin. held coronavirus briefings on the Hill and only 5 senators & 10-15 congressmen showed up.

He attacked the media for covering impeachment: “We were dealing with it. The press was covering their hoax of the day.”
3/ So what Mulvaney said is ALSO not true.

It's preposterous to assert that by covering an impeachment and impeachment trial of the president the media was covering our "hoax of the day."

Such falsehoods are a huge disservice to the public.

When asked by @mkraju and other reporters, swing district freshman Dem @RepGilCisneros won't say directly if he would campaign or appear on stage with @BernieSanders should he win the Dem nomination.

1/
@mkraju @RepGilCisneros @BernieSanders 2/ Will you campaign with Senator Sanders if he were the nominee?
Cisneros: "We're going to support, whoever the Democratic nominee is and I know the people in my district are going to rally around whoever that is...to make sure that we don't get four more years of Donald Trump"
@mkraju @RepGilCisneros @BernieSanders 3/Would you appear on the same stage as him?

"We don't know who the nominee is going to be yet so... that's kind of forward thinking or too far into the future...whoever the Dem. nominee is,...Democrats in my district I know are going to rally around that individual"

From @kylieatwood:

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo emphasized Tuesday that the US would sign a deal with the Taliban “if and only if” the reduction in violence is successful. Pompeo said the agreement, which would be signed “on or about February 29”...
2/ ...has a timeline “for a conditions-based and phased troop withdrawal and for the commencement of intra-Afghan negotiations.”

He said during the Trump administration’s foreign policy principles of “realism, restraint and respect” underpinned its approach to Afghanistan.
3/ ... Pompeo said the US had to be “realistic,” noting that “we’re proud of our gains but our generals have determined that this war is unlikely to be won militarily without tremendous additional resources.”

The motion is weak and the basis is LOLable, but my suspicion is that the judge will grant it (though likely for less than 3 weeks)

Defendants will argue the burden is on Plaintiff to show good cause (the motion doesn't do that), plus ongoing harassment

Positive for the Defendants. He gives their attorneys lots of usable material

A good rule of thumb as y'all see an assortment of "bUt ThEy LiEd UnDeR oAtH" tweets from conVics is that they're typically projecting – accusing others of the things they themselves or R.Broly have done

Consider these excerpt from the R.Broly deposition...

The water in the pipeline cannot fix the leaks. Contrary to the advice #WomenInSTEM & #POCinSTEM receive, we cannot actually #leanin to solving the problem of #genderbias & #racialbias in #STEM & #academia. Thanks to @NatureEcoEvo & @RoinnAnLuisigh for this chance to say this. 1/
A few months ago, @Nature published a piece with advice on how senior women can confront #genderbias. While the advice contained therein was useful, the title was enraging. nature.com/articles/d4158…. 2/
It led me to rage tweet a thread of statistics on #genderbias in #STEM, and that thread blew up And then I got incredibly lucky when @RoinnAnLuisigh offered me the opportunity to turn it into a column. Working with her was AMAZING! 1000% fantastic 3/

“I simply cannot believe that my government could have done this to these people,” legal coordinator for a Texas nonprofit, under oath, on Trump’s family separation policy.

One of 900+ pages of declarations by attorneys, immigrants and others recently made public.

Thread.
“G and her mother said goodbye to each other while crying, but G’s mother comforted her, saying she was going to visit her wherever she was going. Only later did G realize this was not true.”

Declaration by an investigator inside Washington AG’s office.
“I have seen separated families struggle with the Office of Refugee Resettlement’s (ORR’s) requirements for reunification.”
