Trump’s 28-point peace plan with Russia “is misnamed,” @anneapplebaum.bsky.social argues. “It is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future.”

Very encouraging news about cancer research and mRNA vaccines. An administration that cared about Americans' well-being would be looking for ways to follow up and double down on such efforts. The Trump administration on the other hand seems determined to gut NIH and is hostile to vaccines.
Unbelievable news.
Pancreatic is one of the deadliest cancers.
New paper shows personalized mRNA vaccines can induce durable T cells that attack pancreatic cancer, with 75% of patients cancer free at three years—far, far better than standard of care.
