I would buy this postage stamp set.
looks like we traded generations of healthcare for 4 days worth of missiles
what was medical insurance
“Non-diverse participants” is the euphemism of the year
This escalated fast, in a good way.
Joint venture between #VA & #DoJ is protecting #veterans’ rights by ….. working to take them away.
The idea that the federal gov’t needs to get involved in these proceedings is absurd. Local medical centers are already navigating these challenging situations.
Check on your people.
It’s a lot going on and people are in need of support and fellowship.
people are so extraordinary in what they can do
![screenshot of legal document filed by Trump's FDA with two sections highlighted in yellow, denoted by double asterisks:
Approval Suspension. The provision of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act that specifies the circumstances in which a drug application can be withdrawn, 21 U.S.C. § 355(e), includes authority to suspend an application prior to its withdrawal. In particular, **if the Secretary of Health and Human Services 1 [refers to footnote 1] finds that a drug presents “an imminent hazard to the public health,” he may suspend the approval of the application (including a supplemental application) “immediately.”** 21 U.S.C. § 355(e). The Secretary then must “give the applicant [aka the drug manufacturer] prompt notice of his action and afford the applicant the opportunity for an expedited hearing” on whether to withdraw approval. Id. Approval may be withdrawn if, among other things, “new evidence of clinical
experience . . . evaluated together with the evidence available to [FDA] when the application was approved, shows that such drug is not shown to be safe for use under the conditions of use upon the basis of which the application was approved.” Id. § 355(e)(2).
Apart from the Secretary’s suspension authority, there are no “interim orders” FDA could issue. However, FDA possesses authority to require a sponsor to propose changes to a drug’s conditions of use, including by adding or modifying a REMS requirement related to prescribing or dispensing. The timing of implementation is...
Footnote 1: Although the Commissioner of Food and Drugs generally “execut[es]” the Secretary’s authorities under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, 21 U.S.C. § 393(d)(2), **“the authority . . . to suspend approval of an application”—as distinct from withdrawal of approval—“shall not be delegated” and remains with the Secretary**, id § 355(e) (emphasis added)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4fdfjfnhhyeo4hsmoxpeazsg/bafkreigmbfgslyj2xflilnjlgfcmpvjho7265dbtjexv3vkv4u25kcnvzq)
NEW: The FDA just outlined the ways it could restrict the abortion drug mifepristone during its horseshit "safety" review. The first? RFK Jr. has the power to immediately suspend the approval of drugs that he deems “an imminent hazard to the public health”

Over a million people from around the world travel to Amsterdam each year to see the house where Anne Frank wrote her diary, now the Anne Frank House museum. Now, a rare opportunity to experience the house’s Secret Annex is coming to Chicago.
I also just watched it a few days ago and really enjoyed it

i didn't care for schumer's statement, but if you're going to be angry at him, make sure you're much angrier at thune, who bears this obligation even more strongly than schumer and will absolutely ignore his own duty
I don’t think that we need to think Anthropic are heroes of the resistance or whatever, but I do think it’s illuminating who is able to see a couple years down the road and think “oh shit, I might be held liable for this stuff” in a way that, say, Planatir clearly isn’t.
This guy is dropping truth. Awesome man.
Because of Trump "Big Beautiful bill " your parents and grandparents are screwed. (Please note: the same Trump bill takes 10 years off Medicaid solvency...so thats even worse. )
What's missing? The public. Decisions about whether AI can surveil American citizens or autonomously deploy lethal force are being settled in a contract dispute. No Congress. No democratic deliberation. No accountability. We've outsourced questions about the use of force to a corporate negotiation.
Radiohead is demanding that the Trump administration take down a pro-ICE promotional video featuring a version of its song “Let Down” without permission.
Full statement from the band:
People are always like what’s something you miss from the past and one of mine is antitrust laws

As SCOTUS erodes federal courts’ role in protecting many rights (abortion rights in particular), the power of state supreme courts to interpret and apply state constitutional protections and other state laws matters more than ever. These are the state supreme court races we're watching this year:
For Chicago (esp IL-7) voters:
remember, democrats ended the november shutdown in large part because the donor class was angry they couldn't fly for the holidays. this is a concrete example of how that leadership decision has weakened the party's hand in future negotiations
Indiana Gov. Mike Braun (R) confirms that the Chicago Bears will NOT change their name if they move to Indiana.
