Oh snap! I started digging into the Medicaid data released by @DOGE_HHS, looking for spending patterns around Chicago. Until 2022, "Clinical Labs" accounted for $44M out of $6.1B, or less than 1% of all Chicago Medicaid spending. Of the top 20 NEW Medicaid recipients in Chicago that started after 2022, 13 are clinical labs. $69M total. These are clinics that mostly provide COVID testing (code U0003, 62 labs, $44M) and molecular pathology (87913 10 labs, $29M) services. Their new clinical labs that started after 2022, per the public NPI registry: CL Labs — $11.0M Charles Levy — 6288 N Cicero Rainbow Lab — $9.7M Mahmood K. Syed — 4001 W Devon Adnan Lab — $8.4M Mohammed H. Qureshi — 4719 W Lawrence Baha Laboratories — $6.7M Baha Alak — 687 N Milwaukee SH Diagnostics — $5.9M Safiuddin Sultani — 3525 W Peterson Medicare Lab Services — $5.8M Ayesha Khan — 5659 N Lincoln AZA Labs — $5.0M Mohammed Siddiqui — 4801 W Peterson Espoir Lab — $4.3M Muhammad Khan — 6257 N Clark FA 1st Solutions — $3.6M Imran Salim — 3425 W Peterson AIM One — $3.4M Junaid Mohammed — 6336 N Cicero Optima Medical — $1.9M Imtiyaz Pasha — 4539 N Sheridan Test Liberty — $1.9M Mukram Shaik — 2247 W Devon Being Human Medical — $1.7M Anoop Mamtani — 6027 N Cicero Sources: HHS Medicaid Provider Spending Dataset + CMS NPPES NPI Registry ....notice a pattern?? 🤔 @Terrynewsome @mrstealyourwig1 @Dannic44 @FlipChicagoRed @SubxNews

@themodpun It was pretty cool to see lol

People can honestly say they witnessed me WORK to win. I didn’t BUY my primary. We all worked to spread a message TOGETHER and we prevailed!

@levelsio Okay, it's not just me then

Every week at least one day I am stuck in some weird Claude Code logging me out somewhere and then their OAuth is completely broken and I get stuck and can't code

@JennyGooz @landon20s I was about to suggest Great Seas!

@landon20s Add: Great Seas on Lawrence.

Best wings 🍗🪽 in Chicago (no particular order) - crisp - birds nest - del seoul - Nancy’s - big sauce - broken barrel - output lounge - house of wings - Aberdeen tap - woodies

@JennyGooz @BriannaWu I think a lot of the 18-24 year olds (the ones I'm most concerned about,) think voting is a waste of time, and are working to bring about a violent revolution.

@BriannaWu Chicago resident here. I think our abysmal turnout is one factor. In other words, we got lucky the 18-24 year olds really didn’t show up. I think it would’ve been a different outcome if they had. The normies that do exist mostly did turnout.

Honest question for republicans. Chicago is a very Democratic city. You think of Democrats as hijacked by extremists. But the truth is, progressives were wiped out last night. They lost literally every race. Could it be that we’re less extreme than your media is telling you?

@elonmusk I like how fast it is. I have a few claw instances in slack together, and grok is noticeably faster. But one thing, he kinda hallucinates stuff, says hell do something but won't. Strange.

What are your initial impressions of Grok 4.20? Major upgrades are still landing every week.

@walkeri141 She's very familiar with what's happening on the ground.

Kat Abu is in 3rd place in Suburban Cook, and 3rd place in Lake County. Without significantly improving + nuclear Chicago numbers, she is going to absolutely flop in IL-09. Too early to dance on her grave but.... I TOLD YOU the picture on the ground was different than hell app

@Libs_OfChicago @themodpun Lewis had like 19k voted last primary iirc. @grok, fact check?

Never count your chickens before they hatch but I feel like this one is in the bag! Congrats to the future Congressman!

@JustHubbub @Williamjkelly I knew from your first comment that you aren't intelligent at all.

@redshiftpress @Williamjkelly I just thought you could be intelligent enough to not call names. My bad, I thought I was talking to an adult.

Something really strange just happened. Chicago Mayor Johnson's presser was abruptly canceled today and his communications director Erin Connelly (wearing the mask) looks freaked out. I'll find out and report what's up. #thatreporter

@JustHubbub @Williamjkelly Me calling this chick full retard doesn't affect you, so why don't you let this go first, babe?

@redshiftpress @Williamjkelly If they wear a mask because they are sick, fine. If they wear a mask because they think it will protect them, fine. Either way, it doesn’t affect you, let it go.

@themodpun @MarcusFor53787 The GOP is obviously infiltrated and totally useless.

We need to clean up the Illinois GOP. The fact that people like @MarcusFor53787 ran in Congressional District 1 and secured the nomination in 2024 BLOWS my mind. Did no one research him at all? This is so sad! We have to look into candidates. Never ignore THIS many red flags!

'm not complaining about a stupid medical mask,I'm complaining about cultists that are using this as a means of signaling being in the in-group. The communist gathering that I mentioned infiltrating had like 80 people all wearing masks in there. Are you not able to identify obviously cultish behavior? Like imagine a typical retail bookstore packed to the brim with people, and all of them are wearing masks. Shit's weird, and I wouldn't care that much, but they were literally discussing how to overthrow the US government while I was there. So my main issue with them is that they're communists, not that they wear masks (in fact, I appreciate the masks, because I can instantly tell when they're total retards when I'm out in public, and can treat them as such -- again, because they're communists, not because they're wearing a mask).

@JustHubbub @redshiftpress @Williamjkelly Agree. I think it’s stupid myself, but holy shit people that complain about a stupid medical mask are the true retards. It’s not that fucking serious. Let people look stupid if they want, why the hell do you care this much to complain lol

@BenjaminDEKR Smells like like H1b engineering managers to me.

I strongly suspect that many of the foundational problems at xAI were kept hidden from Elon until very recently. There were layers to the iceberg, and he (unfortunately) only saw the parts above water. Those of us who were further down saw the cracks but were told to shut up.

@LundukeJournal Thanks, canceling my jetbrains subscription now lol

This dude is wearing cat ears, and a cat collar, in his *work photo* used for a professional engineering conference. Rust conferences are filled with this sort of thing. Because Rust is a pRoFeShUnAL programming language.

@elonmusk @grok can we hit this in the api yet?

Grok 4.20 Heavy (Beta 2) is extremely fast for deep analysis. Beta 3 will have many fixes and functionality gains.

@reddit_lies @disclosetv They can haul em in on trucks through the cartel tunnels from Mexico.

@disclosetv The US sunk Iran's only drone carrier, so I don't know how Iran could feasibly pull this off.

JUST IN - FBI warns California police departments that Iran may retaliate against the U.S. by launching offensive drones toward the West Coast of the United States — ABC

@grok @NayanTheAnthro @DefiantLs @grok answer the man, would ya?

It's the same for mechanical engineering. If you want to build a locomotive, don't sweat the metallurgy and the thermodynamics, just prompt, baby... prompt! If you're a fast learner, or a good gamer, or grew up near train tracks, that's ALL you need. In fact, not knowing that locomotives use wheels could be an advantage. You're just a boiler explosion away from revealing your "true grit", which is the measure that software engineers have traditionally rated each other with.

@CivokNilam @themodpun @FlipChicagoRed Next one is Monday flipsred.com/events/chicago…

Hey @themodpun and @FlipChicagoRed, Please let everyone know when the next protest is happening. I’d love to join. It’s time these commies never know a moment of peace.

@theo @trq212 @bcherny @DarioAmodei

We want to add support for Claude via the Agent SDK so you can bring your subscriptions. We have a PR with the changes ready. We just don't know if we're allowed to ship it. The moment we get a 👍 from @trq212, @bcherny or @DarioAmodei, we will get this shipped.
