Today, I signed the Momnibus — a package of bills to improve healthcare coverage for moms and babies. No mother should have to fear dying from childbirth. We have the highest maternal mortality rate of any high-income country, and we know Black women are at greatest risk.

“People of African descent have a right to knowledge of their history," Verene Shepherd told @UN the Permanent Forum on People of African Descent, adding that Western institutions should return such cultural heritage to African and Caribbean nations as part of reparatory justice.

Today marks 58 years since the Civil Rights Act of 1968 was signed into law by Lyndon B. Johnson, prohibiting discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of housing. It combated practices like redlining, which denied Black Americans access to mortgages and homeownership. While the law was effective in combating the worst discriminatory practices, today the Black homeownership gap is wider than it was in 1968. Housing is expensive for everyone. We need a President and leaders in Congress who will fight to bring housing costs down. Instead, Trump and Republican congressional leaders are more interested in fighting senseless wars.

Kindness is contagious. Leadership starts with example.

That black and gold “G” has always meant something. It’s meant marching bands that shook stadiums. Championship banners. Alumni who carry Grambling pride into every room they enter. Now, after decades of legal back-and-forth, Grambling State officially owns it. And this isn’t just about a logo. It’s about leverage. Federal trademark protection means control over licensing, partnerships, and how the brand shows up in the marketplace. In an era where HBCU culture moves fashion, music, and sports... ownership matters. This is about protecting the legacy and positioning it for growth. When HBCUs own their marks, they don’t just protect tradition. They protect opportunity. Tap the link for more 🖤: bit.ly/4dDnbwH

🦔A researcher invented a fake eye condition called bixonimania, uploaded two obviously fraudulent papers about it to an academic server, and watched major AI systems present it as real medicine within weeks. The fake papers thanked Starfleet Academy, cited funding from the Professor Sideshow Bob Foundation and the University of Fellowship of the Ring, and stated mid-paper that the entire thing was made up. Google's Gemini told users it was caused by blue light. Perplexity cited its prevalence at one in 90,000 people. ChatGPT advised users whether their symptoms matched. The fake research was then cited in a peer-reviewed journal that only retracted it after Nature contacted the publisher. My Take The researcher made the papers as obviously fake as possible on purpose. The AI systems didn't catch it. Neither did the human researchers who cited it in real journals, which means people are feeding AI-generated references into their work without reading what they're actually citing. I've covered the FDA using AI for drug review, the NYC hospital CEO ready to replace radiologists, and ChatGPT Health launching this year. All of that is happening in the same environment where a condition funded by a Simpsons character and endorsed by the crew of the Enterprise was being presented as emerging medical consensus. The people making these deployment decisions seem to believe the pipeline from research to AI to patient is more supervised than it actually is. This experiment suggests it isn't supervised much at all. Hedgie🤗 nature.com/articles/d4158…
