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...

TrumpRx launched tonight. You can use it to search for certain brand name drugs, see the TrumpRx price, and get a coupon, which you can print or send to your phone via QR code to bring to a pharmacy. So far it only features the drugs with a deal negotiated between the Trump admin and Big Pharma.

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.

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

Here's what ICE is up to in Northeast Minneapolis today. Absolutely heartbreaking. Warning: video is hard to watch

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...

OpenAI exec James Dyett calling out the cowardice

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

I spent the last year writing a book about the ridiculous demands of what it means to be masculine. But a guy who takes care of people who served our country, asks a woman “are you ok?” When she is in distress and looks out for his vulnerable neighbors seems like a pretty good role model for a man.

@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

NEWS: The Wegovy pill (Ozempic for weight loss) is now available. If you've been hesitant to try a GLP-1 medication out of fear of the injection, the pill may be a great option for you. Plus it's way cheaper than the shots at $149/month (up to $299 for the highest). 🧵 for best options:

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...

If you live in California, have you returned your Prop 50 ballot yet? Yes on redistricting!

The @politico.com exposé on Young Republican state leaders shows they are comfortable typing racist and anti-Semitic words because they have heard the most powerful people in the world say: it's ok. Lack of moderation in social settings doesn't mean hate dies in the sunlight. It means hate blooms.

Charlotte lost her sister to measles. She has a hard time watching today's outbreaks.

Great reporting by @jcubanski.bsky.social on BMS/Pfizer's new cash price for blood thinner Rx Eliquis. You can get it for $10 if you have commercial insurance using a coupon, but not if you have Medicare/Medicaid or uninsured. The cash price is now $346 - compared with avg $76 internationally.

A company called Truemed, owned by a close RFK Jr associate, Calley Means, is essentially committing tax fraud by writing doctors notes for high-end wellness purchases like $9,000 saunas, exercise bikes, and bone broth. This is basically a tax break that disproportionately benefits the wealthy.

The new #Medicaid work requirements are basically a giveaway to federal contractors like Deloitte, Accenture, and Maximus. Likely to end in super expensive systems that won't work well. GA spent $100M at a cost of $13k per enrollee. 👎 www.axios.com/2025/07/14/m...

Dozens of journalists were assaulted by law enforcement in Los Angeles this weekend. The press were just doing their job -- a sacred one explicitly protected by law. Press rights orgs will follow up collectively tomorrow. Tonight, I emailed evidence to local/state/federal officials. My sign off:

I switched to Asana. Clickup support gave me a free trial after 3 rounds of back and forth with them about the new limits of clickup's "unlimited" plan. That was long enough to export my data and ask for a refund. If I could give clickup a zero on an NPS/satisfaction survey, I would!
