It’s well known that I was on The Apprentice. We were all covered by NDAs at the time, but mine has now expired. And do I ever have some tea to spill. I’ll post it later today after consulting once again with my attorneys.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

AOC is right: we don’t need more Democrats who play defense—we need brawlers who fight. Trump has a war cabinet. We need a war room. If we’re going to stop this agenda, we need leaders who actually know what side they’re on—and aren’t afraid to throw a punch.

Weeks ago, I predicted PubMed would go down—and now it has. The impact on scientists worldwide is profound.

This is our life’s work, including countless publications funded by taxpayers, and it’s devastating that a malicious group of individuals has taken it offline. The public should be outraged.

I'm struggling to get over what we saw today.

The amount of gaslighting, cruelty, ignorance, abject cowardice, arrogance, indifference to human life, and deceit we saw from Trump and Vance...we saw behavior we associate with enemies of the United States inside the Oval Office.

That's traumatizing.

Here's the latest variant picture for Europe (excluding the UK).

The XEC.* variant is dominant, and appears to have fended off the challengers, rebounding to around 63%.

The recent resistance from the JN.1.* + FLiRT variants appears to have faded of late.

This scrum of pot-bellied, sunken-chested betas trying to bully an all-black clad badass Eastern European wasteland survivor while dressed like Men’s Wearhouse mannequins is peak cinema.
GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.

Patients risk surgery complications because there is no Covid testing in some hospitals. The BMA called for ffp3 masks in December 2023 and still we have no interim decision from the Covid inquiry. We are not following the science

Some folks only think those still masking are overly anxious because they aren’t aware most vulnerable have no vaccine access or antiviral access and the guidance is all wrong. Thats just the tip of a very large iceberg of omissions.

The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.

If we’re talking about COVID and other respiratory diseases…Europe usually runs 6-12 weeks ahead of us.

Anything that needs to be sequenced…look to Africa. They’re pretty much the gold standard.

Bird flu…UC Davis and any university in CA with a veterinarian program.
