I’m always for more data. But, be careful using the new Medicaid spending data released by the Trump administration. It’s missing a lot of important details and context. www.kff.org/medicaid/wha...

On February 14, 2026, CMS released a dataset with provider-level spending data that the agency suggests could be used to identify unusual billing patterns for specific services, states, or providers. ...

Pres. Trump issued an executive order aimed at encouraging the production of glyphosate, a weed killer found in Roundup. It’s a blow to the MAHA movement and puts RFK Jr. in a tough position. “This is a man who’s advocated against glyphosate and pesticides for years and years.” Listen for more 🎧

LA folks: what do you think of the @latimes.com reporting on whether Mayor Bass's office directed changes to LAFD's after action report? Something feels fishy to me, as if it's a political hit job. It doesn't make sense to me that Bass, who was critical of the LAFD Chief...

TrumpRx launched tonight. You can use it to search for certain brand name drugs, see the TrumpRx price, and get a coupon, which you can print or send to your phone via QR code to bring to a pharmacy. So far it only features the drugs with a deal negotiated between the Trump admin and Big Pharma.

I am interested to see whether healthcare companies terminate their relationship with Dr. Peter Attia over this. He is an advisor to many healthcare companies including Virta, Moonwalk Biosciences, Eight Sleep as well as supplement companies like AG1.

Oh look, according to Peter Attia MD “pussy is low carb” something that is totally normal for a doctor to say to Epstein, who had previously been convicted of procuring a child for prostitution

OpenAI exec James Dyett calling out the cowardice

I keep thinking about this fact that his last words were are you okay and hers were I'm not mad at you and it feels like a weird coincidence but it's just a reflection of the fact that the people who are coming out to take care of their neighbors are good and the people who are after them are bad

His dying words were asking about the safety of someone next to him Hero

I spent the last year writing a book about the ridiculous demands of what it means to be masculine. But a guy who takes care of people who served our country, asks a woman “are you ok?” When she is in distress and looks out for his vulnerable neighbors seems like a pretty good role model for a man.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social said yesterday we need just 16 Republicans to flip to #defundICE and hold the Trump Administration accountable for these murders. Here are 16 GOP members who could potentially listen to their conscience and flip. If you are a constituent, CALL. EVERY DAY.

People who work in media: What is going on with @latimes.com? Do they think they're a low budget CNN? What is this random live-streaming section? Did they lay off all their designers? I know the billionaire owner fancies himself a tech & media leader but talk about brand dilution. Embarrassing

HSAs and "Consumer Directed" high deductible plans are not the answer to fixing health care in the US kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

Trump’s Idea for Health Accounts Has Been Tried. Millions of Patients Have Ended Up in Debt. - KFF Health News

Republican calls to give Americans cash instead of health insurance subsidies double down on a decades-old strategy of moving people into high-deductible plans with health savings accounts.

Loved the concept of the "reverse salient" from @emollick.bsky.social - the step(s) in a process that hold the system back from being faster or more efficient. These weaknesses are often the most difficult to change, but once a tech/regulatory advancement happens, the whole system leaps forward
