Here is a rough guess: maybe he had heart failure symptoms but echo was normal so they did a cardiac MRI. Unless they’re lying the MRI didn’t show a cause either. Not gonna speculate beyond that right now

A lawsuit previously alleged that David Gentile—just pardoned by Trump— was an associate of Russian organized crime figure and oligarch Michael Cherney.
A business news outlet found that Cherney’s daughters benefited from some of Gentile’s earliest dealings.

Seems like a good day to revisit why I chose this screen name a little over seven years ago. A 🧵
It was about a week after Jamal Khashoggi was murdered, and the first time (that I know of) that Trump was asked about it.

1/ Open enrollment for Obamacare (ACA) kicked off this weekend, during which more than 20 million families will shop for health insurance coverage. There's some sticker shock though: prices are up ~30% this year if tax credits aren’t extended. Here’s what else is happening in #publichealth 👇

1/ Happy Halloween! 🎃
If you’re a parent, you probably have a few #candy questions rattling around in your head, and as a mom to two energetic girls, I’ve wondered the same things. So I asked our YLE dietitian, Megan Maisano, for answers — and her insights were too good not to share.👇

Look at the drastic cuts President Trump asked Congress to throw at the CDC.
He wanted zeroing out of all funding for chronic diseases, birth defects/developmental disorders, and injury prevention, and occupational health and a 65% reduction for environmental health at CDC...
