Stuart Murdock show some support for a CFS/ME org
https://www.instagram.com/p/DIKAZTIJKBl


My mother and a friend in DC both have had it for over a decade, yet doctors and the public know little about it, how to diagnose or treat it.  Has gotten a lot of support and funds in the last few years due to its similarities to long covid… unfortunately DOGE has pulled 100s of millions to fund research on it

Stuart also has it

none taken, took my mom almost 3 years to get diagnosed
unfortunately, there is no specific test for CFS (or ME Myalgic Encephalomyelitis)


The primary symptom of CFS is significant fatigue that:
Has lasted for at least 6 months
Isn't improved by rest
Can't be explained by other medical conditions
Significantly interferes with daily activities

seek a healthcare provider who is knowledgeable about CFS/ME

The worse part of this disease is no one believes you
then encourage you to exercise more (which typically can make matters worse the next day)

here are some sites

https://ammes.org/

this one is more of an take action site/Instagram that has organized many protests on the mall/congress

hey, this was good news to me

https://www.governor.state.nm.us/2025/09/08/new-mexico-is-first-state-in-nation-to-offer-universal-child-care/

https://apnews.com/article/universal-free-child-care-new-mexico-ec514c3b828e1100d4e5cd7ab17412db

so many good thing here, even threw a bone to grandparents who are stepping in

Eligibility for child care assistance also will extend to grandparents who are in charge of grandchildren, often because of parents struggling with addiction, with no work requirement.

I'm going to put this in the very small Good News Column

President Bill Clinton and his foundation have brokered a landmark deal to provide a new HIV prevention drug, lenacapavir, at a dramatically lower cost for low- and middle-income countries. This agreement, which could help millions access the breakthrough treatment, is a step toward ending the HIV epidemic

Key details of the announcement:

•The drug: Lenacapavir is a groundbreaking HIV prevention drug that is administered as an injection twice a year.

•Reduced price: The deal, negotiated by the Clinton Foundation and partners like the Gates Foundation, will lower the price of lenacapavir to just $40 per patient annually for 120 countries. This is a significant reduction from its previous annual cost of over $28,000 in the U.S..

•Availability: Generic versions of the drug are expected to roll out starting in 2027.

•Partnership: The agreement was reached in partnership with the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) and other organizations, including the Gates Foundation, Wits RHI, and generic drug manufacturers.

Clinton and his foundation have a long history of negotiating lower prices for HIV/AIDS medications for developing nations.
