This @lenasun.bsky.social story is stunning. The person hired by HHS to investigate vaccine safety not only was sanctioned for practicing medicine without a license ... but also had his previous work described as "uninterpretable" in a major IOM report. See: www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Surreal. US Congressman Mike Johnson who is Speaker of the House of Representatives says of Elon Musk firing the Veterans Affairs Suicide Hotline, "There are going to be some mishaps and mistakes along the way" How do you accidentally fire staff working for a suicide hotline 🤷‍♂️

Tariffs until opioid deaths fall? But they have fallen and and continue to decline. Will the American media resist the urge to confuse the public and spin the narrative? Is this just another ploy to manipulate facts, cause hurt, and claim credit?

@mcuban.bsky.social—does CostPlus have a solution for this? I’m concerned about how long the average diabetic with public insurance can go before anything changes.

Got an email from Threads trying to coax me back with a headline their algorithm thought I’d like. Unsubscribe. And also small moment of satisfaction that toxic platforms are perhaps feeling the departures.

The US switching sides in the world, from pro-democracy and rule of law to anti-both — most immediately seen in helping Europe against Russia to helping Russia against Europe — is the biggest, most profound change to the international system since the USSR collapsed. Immense implications, long tail.
