I mean, of course there’s another Signal chat
Another Signal group exists for senior Pentagon officials and Jennifer Hegseth, this one with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Sean Parnell, Tami Radabaugh, possibly others. It's to discuss Defense Department comms, though Jennifer Hegseth is not on staff.

He's not on Bluesky so I'm amplifying his message here. The medical neglect towards menopause is very real.
Menopause puts in motion enormous physical and mental health changes, many of which are associated with huge health risks & everybody thinks you should be celebrating cuz no more periods. 😑

It was a world historical fumble that changed the trajectory of America in a way we won't recover from in my lifetime.
Every now and then I just pause and think that … we could have just elected Kamala Harris, and we’d still have an economy that was the strongest in the world; we’d still have an American-led trans-Atlantic order; we’d be assured that our universities would remain the envy of the world; … (1/x)

The alternative to naloxone (Narcan) for a fentanyl overdose outside a healthcare facility - where almost all of them in this country occur - is death. Dead people don’t recover. Fentanyl overdose is the leading cause of death for Americans 18-44. Every single fentanyl overdose death is preventable.
There are few things as cost effective as Narcan, especially in a country where (entirely preventable) opioid overdoses have been a leading cause of death for years. For every 6 kits distributed 1 OD is prevented. The $56M in this grant trained >66K people and distributed >282,500 kits in 2024 alone

But Martin talked about it on his podcast weeks before… and called it “goofing around.”
