Just a few #T1D advocates fighting for a cure. Thanks to @Usher for using his platform and voice to highlight such a worthy cause. And, on top of that, he’s just an incredibly kind human being. “Let’s get Johnny in this picture,” he said.

To be clear: 48 senators are arguing that it would be a good thing to break the rules so a simple majority can trample on minority party rights while simultaneously arguing it would be a bad thing for a simple majority (+1) to preserve the rules & defend minority party rights. 🤔
