I’m always for more data. But, be careful using the new Medicaid spending data released by the Trump administration. It’s missing a lot of important details and context. www.kff.org/medicaid/wha...

Pres. Trump issued an executive order aimed at encouraging the production of glyphosate, a weed killer found in Roundup. It’s a blow to the MAHA movement and puts RFK Jr. in a tough position. “This is a man who’s advocated against glyphosate and pesticides for years and years.” Listen for more 🎧
LA folks: what do you think of the @latimes.com reporting on whether Mayor Bass's office directed changes to LAFD's after action report? Something feels fishy to me, as if it's a political hit job. It doesn't make sense to me that Bass, who was critical of the LAFD Chief...

If you don't see your medication on TrumpRx, search Goodrx or @mcuban.bsky.social @costplusdrugs.com
I am interested to see whether healthcare companies terminate their relationship with Dr. Peter Attia over this. He is an advisor to many healthcare companies including Virta, Moonwalk Biosciences, Eight Sleep as well as supplement companies like AG1.
Oh look, according to Peter Attia MD “pussy is low carb” something that is totally normal for a doctor to say to Epstein, who had previously been convicted of procuring a child for prostitution

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

78,000 people attended this @aclu.org training last night. It goes over your constitutional rights to record, whether using whistles could be considered protected or not (tbd - it hasn't been tested in court), and how to de-escalate. Must watch! www.youtube.com/live/zqka9fU...

I keep thinking about this fact that his last words were are you okay and hers were I'm not mad at you and it feels like a weird coincidence but it's just a reflection of the fact that the people who are coming out to take care of their neighbors are good and the people who are after them are bad
His dying words were asking about the safety of someone next to him Hero

@hcrichardson.bsky.social said yesterday we need just 16 Republicans to flip to #defundICE and hold the Trump Administration accountable for these murders. Here are 16 GOP members who could potentially listen to their conscience and flip. If you are a constituent, CALL. EVERY DAY.
People who work in media: What is going on with @latimes.com? Do they think they're a low budget CNN? What is this random live-streaming section? Did they lay off all their designers? I know the billionaire owner fancies himself a tech & media leader but talk about brand dilution. Embarrassing

My top 5 nonfiction books I read this year: Be Ready When The Luck Happens - Ina Garten Georgiana - Amanda Foreman Educated - Tara Westover Co-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI - @emollick.bsky.social Careless People - Sarah-Wynn Williams What were your favorites?
HSAs and "Consumer Directed" high deductible plans are not the answer to fixing health care in the US kffhealthnews.org/news/article...
Loved the concept of the "reverse salient" from @emollick.bsky.social - the step(s) in a process that hold the system back from being faster or more efficient. These weaknesses are often the most difficult to change, but once a tech/regulatory advancement happens, the whole system leaps forward
A House healthcare proposal (Bipartisan Health Insurance Affordability Act) sneaks in a lot of much needed PBM reform 🧵 Mostly takes effect in 2029. Requires pass-through of rebates, disclosure of formulary placement & affiliated pharmacy revenue, no spread pricing @mcuban.bsky.social thoughts?

I know this is an obvious complaint, but we as taxpayers should not accept Congress and the GPO (Government Printing Office) taking 3-4 months or longer to publish Congressional hearing transcripts. No Senate Cmte Hearing transcripts available beginning of August www.congress.gov/senate-heari...
