The Don Lemon Show Statement from Anne Lowell, attorney for Don Lemon. Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy awards. Don has been a journalist for 30 years, and his constitutionally protected work in Minneapolis was no different than what he has always done. The First Amendment exists to protect journalists whose role it is to shine light on the truth and hold those in power accountable. There is no more important time for people like Don to be doing this work. Instead of investigating the federal agents who killed two peaceful Minnesota protestors, The Trump Justice Department is devoting its time, attention and wrongdoing in this case. This unprecedented attack on the First Amendment and transparent attempt to distract attention from the many cries facing this administration will not stand. Don will fight these charges vigorously and thoroughly in court. [picture of Don Lemon is at the bottom of the image]

I’m Dr. Ashley Perkins & though I am…daughter, I am also a pharmacist who has had significant experience w/the statin class of meds. Once my mother had the significant side effect of muscle pain after only taking a single dose of Atorvastatin, choosing Rosuvastatin would not have been my choice. I am not sure if u are aware or not but the statin class is separated into 2 groups, ones that have a higher incidence of LDL lowers & the other group has a sig. less percentage of LDL lowering capabilities. We know that the more the statin lowers the LDL level, the inc. chances a pt will experience muscle pain. Atorvastatin & Rosuvastatin are in this former group, high % of LDL lowering w/higher chances of muscle pain. Rosuvastatin actually has a higher % lowering per mg than Atorvastatin. I understand the plan was to have my mom take the lowest dose every other day but even still, Atorvastatin only took 1 dose so I think it’s fair to assume only 1 dose of Rosuvastatin would do the same.

Continued comment thread on TikTok: Anastasiany123: where are they closing. There will still be PLENTY of Medicaid. Which BTW has crap reimbursement Me: you know…I know you won’t but you really do need to just stop bc you just keep dropping biases left & right…you think it makes you look good but in actuality it only shows everyone how much you don’t care about patients
Comment thread from TikTok: Anastasiany123: I’ve been a nurse for 39 years. I’ve worked in a private practice, hospitals and urban clinic. I’ve seen how it works. It’s a mess and needs to change. Medicaid is bankrupting medicine. Me: then this tells me you have a load of biases you need to work through & I can say with my whole chest you are dangerous to your low income patients who deserve the same care [as] your wealthy patients

Screenshot of an exchange on TikTok Stacie: But he [RFK jr] didn’t. If you listened to the entire speech and not just the part the media showed. He mentioned he’s talking about the 25% of profound autism Me: and yet he still dehumanized that 25%…do you think they deserve to be spoken about like that? They are WORTHY no matter how they contribute or don’t contribute to society Stacie: Spoken about like what? That their disability destroys families? It does.
