May the fourth be with you

Maybe not front-page news, but @DrMakaryFDA is heading up some recent wins for rare & chronic patients, including game-changing pathways like RDEP and "plausible mechanism" approvals. @US_FDA deserves great praise. This is what progress looks like—let's keep up the good work! @WhiteHouse

A milestone day for clinical trial innovation. We’re announcing the first real-time clinical trials, where @US_FDA can see data signals and endpoints in real time. A quick explainer:

My recent defense of free flowing medical information. ⁦@WLF⁩ wlf.org/2026/04/28/wlf…

Medicaid fraud is a problem everywhere, but it's off the charts in New York.

There’s undoubtedly no lack of waste, fraud and abuse in NY’s Medicaid program, but most of that excess is honest excess—i.e., the program is deliberately intended to be this costly—which in a way is worse.

NEW: The Trump DOJ just told France it won’t help with its criminal probe of X. France and its EU partners use the DSA to squeeze American companies, fine them for resisting speech controls, and turn censorship into a revenue stream — all while European firms operate freely in the U.S.

🚨 The Senate has stalled long enough. It’s time to move on the CLARITY act now. The House already did its job. The White House has worked through the concerns. What’s left is a last-ditch pressure campaign from big banks trying to protect their turf.

President Trump and First Lady Trump's vision for foster care is one family for every one child. Currently, there are two children for every available foster family because the Biden Administration was excluding an entire class of foster families due to their religious beliefs. This is unacceptable, and we are changing that.

As @rclong1997 on @DCEKGpodcast notes, hospitals have been using the same inaccurate 340B equivocation for years. The reality is that 340B doesn’t help low-income or uninsured patients — it merely funnels extra taxpayer dollars to big hospitals for wealthy execs to pocket.

Patients deserve more than a cursory appointment. Jeanette knows that getting the most out of her care means coming prepared. When a new treatment is publicized on TV, it gives her something to bring to her doctor. A name. A question. Her part of the conversation. That's the kind of partnership better care is built on - and it starts with protecting access to information.

It's easy to dismiss ads when you don't have skin in the game. For a patient like Tina? She wants to see more. Not because drug ads are perfect - but because for someone navigating a new diagnosis, an ad can spark a conversation they didn't know how to start. It can introduce a doctor's visit, an option, a possibility they hadn't considered. That's the breath of fresh air patients deserve.

🚨 BREAKING: Incredible moment as Artemis II pilot Victor Glover shares the Gospel mere MOMENTS before reaching the back side of the Moon, losing communication with Earth "Christ said, in response to what was the greatest command, that it was to love God with all that you are." 🙏🏻 "And he also, being a great teacher, said the second is equal to it, and that is to love your neighbor as yourself." "And so, as we prepare to go out of radio communication, we're still going to feel your love from Earth, and to all of you down there on earth and around earth, we love you from the moon." ❤️

Watch as Gene Simmons calls America the promised land and says he's never had a bad day in his life since moving to America. @genesimmons It's a beautiful and moving interview. His love for his Mother and our great land, America, is immense. ❤️🇺🇸

Exactly. A great development. @YouDecideHealth

I’ve done a few more “Blue Monday” “New dawn fades” “SHA” “The Killing Moon” My music taste seems to influence my oil paintings.

He is Risen.

@SeanD174 @Sachinettiyil I killed Him. We killed Him. He forgives us. Hallelujah!

@Sachinettiyil There is no proof the Church of the Holy Sepulcher was built on Jesus' actual tomb as it was built in AD 324. There is no evidence outside the Gospels Jesus was ever buried in a tomb and as a disgraced criminal the Romans would have dumped him in a mass grave.

Karl Marx's body is in his grave, London. Nietzsche's body is in his grave, Lützen Muhammad's body is in his grave, Medina Buddha's body is in his grave, Pingliang But, if you travel to Christ's grave in Jerusalem, it's empty, & has been for 2,000 years.

Truly incredible stuff here. This is such an egregious error for the A section of the NYT (not a typo, genuinely not knowing what NATO stands for) that it should lead every piece on the decline in journalism

It’s not retarded to ask what you are hoping to accomplish? By silencing the ability to promote a FDA approved medication that is already required to meet strict standards about how it can be described? Even then, people can’t just buy it, you just have data to bring to your licensed physician. If Washington says we the people can’t be trusted with even knowing about it, what happens when Washington doesn’t think we can be trusted to know about other legal products like gas powered vehicles, soda, or a Mel Gibson movie? You think that they won’t? Remember how the government silenced voices during COVID if they said uncomfortable things? But for people who don’t read medical journals or have a doctor who has more than 6 minutes to talk, but their lives would change if they knew enough to ask about treating their IBS or a new chemo to help their wife battling breast cancer to live just a few years more. I would want you and everyone to have this unique American freedom to know about it.

@CZ @Policy_Solution You’re retarded if you think that’s the same.

.@CZ’s story says it all: diagnosed with MS when there were no treatments, he saw firsthand how drug ads helped inform him and his doctor about new options that changed his life. That’s the real impact of DTC ads. They empower patients with information, spark conversations, and help people take charge of their health.
