Star-shaped cells make a molecule that can ‘rewire’ the brains of mice with Down syndrome – understanding how could lead to new treatments
Down syndrome results in changes to the structure and function of neural circuits in the brain. Delivering a specific protein to neurons could reverse these changes.

They caved. 8 Senators chose saving their jobs over saving lives. Millions lost leverage for health care so they could coast to re-election. #PrimaryThem
🇺🇸 On #VeteransDay I’m grateful for those who served—whose courage gives us peace to dream & build. Today I’m thinking about the future of movement: bullet trains like Korea’s, linking San Antonio, Austin, Dallas & Houston. Fast, clean, uniting Texas. 🚄 #TexasHighSpeedRail bit.ly/TexasTrainPlan
Bullet trains - November 11th, 2025

1/ 🌈 Pride is more than a parade. It’s protest. It began in 1969 at Stonewall when queer & trans people resisted police violence. One year later, they marched for rights & visibility. ✊ #Pride
1/ 💉 Vaccines are one of humanity’s greatest triumphs. They eradicated smallpox, nearly ended polio & slashed measles deaths by 80% worldwide. They save lives. Full stop. 🌍✨
🗳️ Transparency builds trust. San Marcos deserves leaders who open doors, not close them. Here’s where I stand on the Civics Club’s top 5 questions about access, ethics & local control: 👇
I just went on Fox News to tell the truth about the redistricting power grab in Texas. I asked a simple question: “If Republican policies are so popular, why do they need to redraw these maps; why not run on their policies?” He refused to answer — and cut the interview early.
1/ This morning, I had breakfast at Rogelio’s with Lisa Young, the Executive Director of the Hays County Food Bank. Over coffee & huevos rancheros, she shared the incredible work they’re doing to feed over 24,000 people every year in our community. 🧵
It’s official: I’m running for San Marcos City Council, Place 1! 🌟 I’m fighting for renters’ rights, local jobs, flood safety, transparency & a greener, more walkable city. Got an issue I should know about? Want a yard sign? Let me know. 🔗 chasenorris.org #SMTX #ChaseForSMTX
1/ 🧵 Let’s talk about redistricting, the Voting Rights Act, and how proposed changes could silence minority voices in San Marcos. This isn’t just lines on a map—it’s democracy at stake. #txlege #Redistricting
Flaco Jiménez didn’t just play the accordion—he made it dance, cry, & sing across borders. From San Antonio to the world, he brought Tejano soul to the spotlight & proved our culture belongs on every stage. ¡Gracias, Flaco, por todo! 🎶🪗 #TexMex #Legend #FlacoJimenez
1/ 🌾 Today is Lughnasadh—an ancient Celtic festival marking the start of harvest season. Named for the god Lugh, it’s a time of gratitude, labor, and first fruits. Let’s remember its roots. 🧵
1/ Texas isn’t a red state. It’s a 47–53 state. Nearly half of Texans vote Democrat—but Republicans just proposed a congressional map giving themselves 30 of 38 seats. That’s 79% of the power with barely 53% of the vote. 🧵
1/ 🏞️ The cleanest river in Texas flows through San Marcos. It is the Cleanest because we choose to protect it. The San Marcos River stays clear year-round thanks to a powerful coalition of science, stewardship & policy. Here's how we keep it beautiful—and how we go even further. 🌊🧵
Release the Epstein tapes. More information is better than less.
✈️ On this day in 1933, Wiley Post became the first person to fly solo around the world—7 days, 18 hours, 49 minutes of daring, precision, & skyborne solitude. He circled the globe alone. We still follow his flight path into the future. 🌍 #OTD #AviationHistory
1/ In 2013, the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act. Chief Justice Roberts claimed “our country has changed.” But when they threw away the umbrella, the rain came fast. 🧵Here’s what happened—and why we must restore voting rights.
1/ This week marks the anniversary of John Lewis’s death. 🕊️ He fought for one person, one vote. But today, the U.S. Senate still mocks that principle. Let’s say the quiet part out loud: The Senate must be abolished. 🧵 #Democracy #JohnLewis
1/ Puerto Rico has been part of the U.S. for 126 years. Its people are U.S. citizens. They serve in our military. They pay billions in taxes. But they can’t vote for president. They have no voting representation in Congress. This is not democracy.
1/ The Dept. of Education protects students' civil rights, manages $1.6T in loans, enforces Title IX, funds Pell Grants, supports disabled & migrant students, and distributes billions in aid to struggling schools. Trump is dismantling it by executive order. And SCOTUS just let him.
