INCREDIBLE opinion by Wilkinson refusing to stay Judge Xinis's orders in the Abrego Garcia case, condemning DOJ's arguments as "shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear."

🛑Closing down USAID is illegal..

This new NIH policy, despite some shortcomings, reflects growing consensus on ensuring public return from public R&D investments, including equitable global access to publicly funded health tools, and sets a key precedent for US agencies and global public research institutions.
For the first time in a generation, NIH is starting to take responsibility for medicine access & making the tech it develops more affordable.
This is a breakthrough, if limited, which finally creates an expectation that drugmakers relying on NIH patents support affordability.🧵

New report: We find pervasive patent abuses on the drugs selected for Medicare price negotiation, which deprive enrollees of access to affordable alternatives. Medicare will lose $5 billion due to these abuses, almost as much as it will save in the first year of negotiation.
