Forever DNA

🧵Earlier this week, I questioned RFK Jr. on Marty Makary’s incompetent leadership of the FDA. RFK Jr. could not defend Marty Makary. The commissioner needs to be fired. Here’s why:

Scientists under political pressure from Makary have shared their concerns through my office’s whistleblower channel. Here are a few: "I was pressured into withholding a recommendation for approval for a drug that was intended for a rare disease by Dr. Prasad and other FDA leadership"... "Direct lobbying to the Commissioner's office [is] a smart and productive business practice for companies to get what they want."

& while you're all at it- medical hallelujah meeting, How about fixing all those awful rare Dx mistakes FDA made- $QURE $CAPR $SRPT You're hurting rare disease families every day. Somebody w a lot of views quick phone up trump. Kids & people needlessly dying too soon rfk & makary

$XBI $GHRS $CMPS So just like that? Rogan calls Trump, who texts him back & boom- psych FDA approval? While RFK stands there stiff as a board & Makary is just a bad prop. Scientific process, data, AdCom, stnd review, AA or most ridiculously political FDA in history? Unbelievable!

@KampnerSam That's fake news. Q- When was the last AI blockbuster drug big pharma put out? A-There haven't been any. Almost all pharma growth is from biotech acquisitions $XBI Big pharma R & D is a joke using AI or not & it's not moving the needle much at all if any.

$XBI $RXRX People simply don’t understand how impactful AI has become for drug discovery. The $XBI is up 80% in the last year. AI has cut early discovery/preclinical time by 30–70% and costs by 40–80%. The primary gains have been achieved by replacing brute-force screening with smart predictions using AI simulations. This allows researchers to make much smarter predictions on how R&D is gonna pan out before going down a dead and research rabbit hole. This new model is another step in that direction.

@Longroaderstar What a joke for a while now Since RFK Makary & Prasad took over. They all love to podcast & videos of their nonsense

$xbi #xbi So this is what US FDA is fighting for - to boost your libido LOL. What a joke now

@viatoCEO @DrMakaryFDA But that's what MM knows how to do & likes doing - selfies and podcasts. Not the actual work of leading FDA & hiring the best staff. Self-promotion is his gig !

@DrMakaryFDA Enough with the press releases… Just give $QURE AMT-130 a fair review if you want to make a real difference in the lives of 50,000 patients in the US alone. Listen to the experts. The treatment works.

Cell and gene therapy developers shouldn’t have to guess about what safety studies FDA wants to see. Today, FDA issued clear draft guidance that will save developers millions of dollars and years of effort, accelerating treatments to patients. Every effort to move more efficiently here is worth it.

@BIOTECHSCANNER @IovanceBio He's a great man. Kind man. Inspiring. I say this with all due reverence as he fights this next battle - Dickie V - you need a TIL, baby!

$IOVA - @IovanceBio please reach out to the legendary Dick Vitale to see if he is fit to receive Amtagvi! Time is of the essence! Thank you. espn.com/mens-college-b…

I played Ultimate for 30 yrs. I can say for sure just from these pics that he wasn't a good player. Godawful form trying to throw, you need to pivot both ways around a defender & you don't stand there to catch. You run as hard as you can to open space. So it's just a photoshoot

@ManaByte This guy ended the flat earth theory awhile ago. youtu.be/Hz2F_S3Tl0Y?si…

Definitely. Give us two decent choices this time. Sick of these shitty candidates both sides run out there. & how about more options, more new parties in the debates. This two Lousy Party US system we have today is an utter failure !!

Female octopuses are actively throwing objects at males that won’t leave them alone. This unusual behavior has been observed in the wild, where females use shells, silt, and debris to push away persistent males. Researchers studying these interactions suggest it may be a defensive response to unwanted mating attempts, showing surprising control, awareness, and intentional behavior in these intelligent marine animals.

He took his Chinese girlfriend on a burger date and it was a wild ride 😂 I wonder how they can't unwire their brain from doing that thing at the end of words. Even if they hear you saying it directly.

Never thought I'd see the day when I agree with Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Marjorie Taylor Greene... ... but they're ALL calling for the 25th Amendment to be invoked to remove trump from office. What a bizarre moment in time.

"We got here thanks to Bibi Netanyahu, Micro Levin and Lindsey Graham" Thank you Megyn Kelly. 100% true.

🔴 Le New York Times vient de publier le récit le plus accablant sur Trump depuis le début de la guerre. Et c'est une bombe. Jonathan Swan et Maggie Haberman, deux journalistes de la Maison Blanche, révèlent comment Trump a pris la décision d'entrer en guerre contre l'Iran. Ce qu'ils décrivent est exactement ce que j'analyse dans Le Pantin de la Maison Blanche. Voici les faits. Netanyahu a vendu un rêve. Le 11 février, dans la Situation Room, le Premier ministre israélien a présenté un scénario en quatre actes : tuer le Guide Suprême, détruire l'armée iranienne, déclencher une révolution populaire, installer un nouveau régime. Il a même montré une vidéo de montage avec les "futurs dirigeants" de l'Iran. Trump a répondu : "Sounds good to me." En une phrase, il venait de sceller le destin de la région. Le lendemain, la CIA a dit que c'était du vent. Les parties 3 et 4 du pitch de Netanyahu, la révolution populaire et le changement de régime, ont été qualifiées de "farce" par Ratcliffe lui-même. Rubio a traduit : "In other words, it's bullshit." Le général Caine a ajouté : "C'est la procédure standard des Israéliens. Ils survendent, et leurs plans ne sont pas toujours bien développés." Trump a entendu. Et il a quand même dit oui. Vance a tout vu. Le vice-président était le seul dans la pièce à s'opposer frontalement, avertissant que la guerre pourrait "détruire la coalition politique de Trump", que le Détroit d'Ormuz était le vrai point de vulnérabilité, que personne ne pouvait prédire les représailles iraniennes quand la survie d'un régime était en jeu. Il a dit : "Tu sais que je pense que c'est une mauvaise idée. Mais si tu veux le faire, je te soutiendrai." Ce n'est pas du courage politique. C'est de la déférence. Susie Wiles a regardé. La cheffe de cabinet, qui avait des inquiétudes, a estimé que ce n'était "pas son rôle" de s'exprimer sur une décision militaire devant les autres. Elle a "encouragé les conseillers à partager leurs vues." Elle s'est tue. Le général Caine n'a jamais dit non. Il a exposé les risques : diminution des stocks de munitions, Détroit d'Ormuz, pas de voie claire vers la victoire. Puis il a dit : "Si vous ordonnez l'opération, l'armée exécutera." Trump, lui, "entendait seulement ce qu'il voulait entendre." Et Trump a signé à bord d'Air Force One, 22 minutes avant la deadline fixée par son propre général : "Operation Epic Fury is approved. No aborts. Good luck." Voilà comment on entre en guerre au XXIe siècle. Pas avec une délibération solennelle. Pas avec un vote du Congrès. Pas avec une stratégie de sortie. Avec un slide show de Netanyahu, un "sounds good to me", et une note envoyée depuis un avion. Dans Le Pantin de la Maison Blanche, j'écris que les vrais décideurs sont ceux qui préparent les présentations que Trump regarde. Netanyahu l'a compris mieux que quiconque. Il a mis en scène une heure de spectacle visuel dans la Situation Room avec Mossad en fond d'écran, des vidéos de "futurs dirigeants", une promesse de victoire rapide et propre. Et Trump a dit oui. Pendant que Vance, Rubio, Wiles et Caine regardaient. Voici l'article du New-York Times : nytimes.com/2026/04/07/us/… 📖 Le Pantin de la Maison Blanche → amazon.fr/dp/B0GPCCMS68/

@TraderNorway That's essentially what I posted today too: This is just psychotic. Today's stock market is not investing based on any company's fundamentals or valuations. It's pure gambling based on social media posts from one wackjob with tons of power. So sad that it's gotten to this point.

$OCUL $CLPT $QURE $XBI Who knew investing in 2026 was about doing research on Trump and his possible twitter rage posts and TACOs. And not the actual companies you invest in 🤣

@RevShark This is just psychotic. Today's stock market is not investing based on any company's fundamentals or valuations. It's pure gambling based on social media posts from one wackjob with tons of power. So sad that it's gotten to this point.

The TACO trade is powerful

One last look at Earth before we reach the Moon. This view of the Earth was captured on April 5, the fourth day of the Artemis II mission, from inside the Orion spacecraft. The four astronauts will reach their closest approach of the Moon tomorrow, April 6.
