- Packets of creatine
- Beef tallow potato chips ($79 for a 6-pack!!)
- Mouth tape
- RFK Jr's biography
- Beef protein bars

A strange mishmash of influencers, anti-ageing entrepreneurs, Big Business leaders (Walmart, Google) and top govt officials gathered at the ritzy Waldorf Astoria in DC.

Notably absent were any academic researchers or clinicians. Instead, panelists criticized the medical establishment all day long.
There's an exclusive, closed-to-media MAHA summit tomorrow. Here's the full agenda I was leaked

In attendance will be JD Vance, RFK Jr, Bhattacharya, Makary, actor Russell Brand (who is facing rape and sexual assault charges), and dozens of other MAHA influencers and people in Trump's orbit

/11 Trump is what he is: an increasingly demented jumble of personality disorders prone to barking out whatever angry stupid thing pops into his head. And he’s the “leader of the free world.”

But many politicians who took an oath to uphold the Constitution will echo his lawless dreck.

/8 There is no remotely plausible argument that it’s treason or sedition to point out that the military need not follow illegal orders. It is unquestionably protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.
