This is a big one. A newly uncovered document has revealed the existence of a mystery Epstein investigation. It was spearheaded by the DEA and involved drug trafficking and money laundering. Epstein was one of 15 targets. The other 14 names are redacted. I've got questions.

Fertility Preservation in People With Cancer: current evidence-based recommendations about #fertilitypreservation for people recently diagnosed with cancer #ayacsm

SCOTUS on Wednesday unanimously rejected a private prison company’s effort to grant it an expansive new authority whenever it is doing work for the government. The loss for GEO Group in a lawsuit over ICE detention is a victory for accountability that is especially important right now.

“…bag of dicks, vibroduffle, whatever you want to call it. We can’t say we have any evidence; let’s just say the vibes seem right.” {insert my juvenile snicker here} 🤭

We filed an FTC complaint against Casey Means for not consistently disclosing that she has received payments for promoting WeNatal. Sen. Murphy brought this conflict of interest to light. Congress must not confirm this wellness influencer as Surgeon General.

“We need to ensure that… increased life expectancy goes along with a high *quality* of life, including cognitive health.” (emphasis mine) #neurology #geriatrics #medsky

TLDR “ICE is now able to tap into the entirety of the $45 billion to award contracts to private prison operators and other contractors to start work on the warehouses it has purchased almost immediately, without any normal bidding process, and with potentially far less transparency than normal.”

The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica did it instead. Use information from your prescription label to locate the factory and see if the plant has a history of inspection violations.

People in the U.S. are being charged up to 16x as much as peer countries for the same treatments. This is absurd. As generics manufacturers are expected to begin selling GLP-1s in Canada for less than $100 soon, we're calling on HHS to authorize generic competition for GLP-1 drugs.

🚨 Does health misinformation do grave harm? Yep. It also very very costly. 👇 Study: Misinformation about COVID-19 Vaccines Cost the United States $2 Billion from Hospitalizations in 2021 academic.oup.com/healthaffair... #VaccinesWork

As a #patientadvocate I want to stress how important this is! It’s not condescending! Sometimes it means incorporating graphics because *numeracy is key* to making treatments decisions, for example.

The Epstein Files and the Hidden World of an Unaccountable Elite 🎁 I suggest we begin labeling co-conspirator Maxwell as a “disgruntled former employee” of the Epstein Child Sex Ring. Keep the negations open, but put her credibility in proper perspective

FFS I’m appalled that these two failed to include ANY gender analysis in their lengthy discussion — even as they scratch their heads, wondering “what do all of these #Epstein-adjacent men have in common? How did our society participate in letting this come about????” UGGGGGG! 😤

Policy changes involving ICE enforcement and CMS data sharing with immigration authorities have raised concerns about reduced #Medicaid participation and limited health care access among immigrant patients. Learn more in the JAMA Medical News podcast: ja.ma/467BG7p

It’s not very often I’m awake to see the dawn. I will milk this for all its metaphorical worth.

“The real concern isn’t A.I. itself,” said Dr. Leo Anthony Celi, the clinical research director of M.I.T.’s laboratory of computational physiology. “It’s that A.I. is being deployed to optimize a profoundly broken system rather than to reimagine it.” #automatingthedysfunction 🎁
