I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

Reading today’s big NYT Magazine story made me physically sick

It details how Trump & the men he put in charge of federal research—men like Jay Bhattacharya & RFK Jr—are dismantling cancer research

Not just the US vaccine system—they’re crushing cancer R&D

22 years ago I pivoted from working on antibiotic resistance to pandemic viruses.

Since then, I've argued that if we care about saving US lives in expectation, advance capacity for producing bird flu vaccine offers by far the greatest expected return on investment.

We were so goddamn close.

Trump’s war on science is an attack against anyone who has ever loved someone with cancer.

The American people do not want us to slash cancer research in order to give more tax breaks for billionaires.

According to the CDC, 75% of healthcare dollars goes to treat chronic diseases, most of which are diet related. Our body was not made to deal w/ processed foods, smoking, alcohol, pollutants, lack of activity, chronic stress. Take small steps to get on the path to health.

@squawkstreet.bsky.social Raise Social Security age to 70? People are dying younger. I think 73 is the avg age of death for men. SS is an important source of income for us non-multi-millionaires. Maybe you can think of some other ideas than screwing middle-class retirement.
