WOW. Having worked in this field, I cannot overstate how remarkable this is. Glioblastoma is one of the most aggressive, deadly brain cancers we know. THIS is why we fund science.
Massimo@Rainmaker1973

A single dose of a new cancer drug made a brain tumor almost disappear – in just five days. Doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital reported “dramatic and rapid” tumor regression in the first patients treated with a next-generation form of CAR T-cell therapy for glioblastoma, one of the most aggressive brain cancers known. The therapy, called CARv3-TEAM-E, was developed to overcome a major hurdle in treating solid tumors: their ability to hide from the immune system. The personalized treatment reprograms a patient’s immune cells to attack the tumor, and in one extraordinary case, nearly eliminated the cancer within just five days. This novel therapy is designed to target multiple features of the tumor at once, a strategy that may help overcome the common challenge of treatment resistance in solid tumors like glioblastoma. Although the tumors eventually returned, the early outcomes were described as unprecedented. One patient saw a 60% reduction in tumor size that lasted for half a year—an impressive result in a cancer known for its aggressiveness. The trial’s success marks a major step forward for immunotherapy in brain cancer and raises new hopes for long-term control or even a cure. Researchers are now working to refine the treatment and extend its effects, with the ultimate goal of turning a once-terminal diagnosis into a survivable condition.

NEWS via @CBSNews: An Iranian drone attack in Kuwait that killed U.S. service members in the early hours of the war with Iran was more severe than previously known, with dozens suffering injuries that included brain trauma, shrapnel trauma and burns, per sources. More than 30 remained in hospitals yday with battle injuries — one at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, 12 at Walter Reed, and about 25 at Landstuhl in Germany, sources said.  Of those, about 20 arrived on a C-17 military transport aircraft at Landstuhl on Tuesday with injuries the military designated as “urgent” and requiring evacuation. More than 100 medical personnel were sent to Landstuhl to assist. Report here from @ellee_watson @JimLaPorta and me. cbsnews.com/news/strike-in…

As US troops deploy to the Middle East. As gas prices spike. As 92,000 jobs vanish in a single month. As scores of children die in elementary schools. As acid rain falls over Tehran. As Switzerland breaks 200 years of neutrality to call it a war crime. As Iran announces a new Supreme Leader. As the Epstein files stay buried. Donald Trump is playing golf. At his own resort. With his billionaire friends. This is the man who said he’d lower your cost of living on day one.

Got it. There's plenty of funding to send troops into harm’s way, but not to take care of their health afterwards. This is shameful.

Dear @WhiteHouse: PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE SEND @RobertKennedyJr TO EVERY SWING HOUSE DISTRICT WHERE HE CAN TELL AMERICANS TO EAT LIVER OR CHEAP CUTS OF MEAT TO COPE WITH SURGING INFLATION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
FactPost@factpostnews

RFK Jr. suggests Americans can more easily afford groceries if they start eating liver instead of beef: "Most of the cheap cuts of meat are very inexpensive. ... You can buy liver or the cheap cuts."

Donald Trump just bragged that he “lifted 2.4 million Americans off food stamps.” No — he cut them off. He didn’t raise wages. He didn’t lower rents. He didn’t fix healthcare. He stripped food from struggling families and called it “success.”

Trump claims progress on health care affordability. But his health care cuts are leading to far fewer people being insured. One study estimates that as a result of declining insurance coverage under Trump, an extra 51,000 Americans will die annually: nytimes.com/2026/01/03/opi…

The “no tax on overtime” is a complete farce. It only applies to the premium portion of OT - the time and a half, not the full hourly rate. #SOTU

Today, on the 4th anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Ukrainian cinematographer, filmmaker and member of the Khartiya corps Ilya Mikhaylus releases a 4½-minute documentary short film inspired by U2’s “Yours Eternally” from their Days of Ash EP, released last week. The film was shot during the Winter of 2025 while Mikhaylus and his crew were embedded alongside the @khartiiabrygada in Ukraine. It captures the extraordinary daily lives of Alina and her fellow soldiers fighting on the frontlines of the war. Yours Eternally documentary short film now available on YouTube: U2.lnk.to/yourseternally Days of Ash EP available now. Read Propaganda: u2.komi.io

Yours Eternally sees Bono and The Edge joined on vocals by Ukrainian musician-turned-soldier Taras Topolia, as well as Ed Sheeran. In the spring of 2022, following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Bono and The Edge traveled to Kyiv to busk in a metro station at the invitation of President Zelensky. A couple of days prior to that, Ed connected @TarasTopolia, and by extension his band @antytila_offic, with Bono. Bono, Taras and The Edge met for the first time on that subway platform and have been friends ever since. Taras is the inspiration for ‘Yours Eternally’, a song written in the form of a letter from a soldier on active duty with a bold, mischievous spirit to match Ukraine’s. Tomorrow, on the 4th anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, a 4 1/2-minute film documenting the lives of Ukrainian soldiers on the frontlines that uses Yours Eternally as a soundtrack will be released. Days of Ash EP available now. Read Propaganda here: u2.komi.io

A boy about 12 years old rang my doorbell this weekend & shyly said he was raising money to support soldiers in Ukraine. He had made small gift bags and asked if I would buy one. This month marks 4 years since Russia invaded. It warms my heart to know this war is not forgotten.

Trump just declared, "glyphosate-based herbicides are a cornerstone of this Nation’s agricultural productivity and rural economy." And he's declaring glyphosate weedkiller to be a federally-protected critical resources. This is insanity. He is now pushing the mass poisoning of American food crops and groceries with cancer-causing deadly weedkiller chemicals that will be sprayed all over the food crops. Trump just declared chemical warfare on the American people. It's all here in black and white: whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…
