Postcode lottery for new cancer treatments, doctors warn

Experts say bureaucracy is

Unless GB News becomes as successful as Fox News (and BBC/ITV/Channel 4 disappear), #Reform UK will never break the 40% ceiling and will never govern. #Populism absolutely relies on lies and disinformation. The appalling and woeful US media allowed it, but the British media won’t

Come on @ASCO, it’s time to speak out and condemn what is happening at the #CDC and department of health and human services under RFK Jr. It’s not just US public health & scientific research at risk here - there are global consequences & implications. #medtwitter #medonc #radonc #ASCO

We are in very dark times. It’ll take an entire political/social movement, an overwhelming rebuke at the polls, and a new vision of governance to unstick this country from whatever this collapse is.

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.

This is a real photograph of Washington, DC this week, where the United States president has ordered military occupation in peacetime, and ordered the display of colossal portraits of himself. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Is the faculty going to condemn what is going on in the US #CDC under RFK Jr leadership? This is a public health emergency and you should be speaking out @fphuk.bsky.social

I’m British, but the US mid-term elections will be the most consequential in my lifetime. If #Trump consolidates power then a US authoritarian autocracy is nailed on. A disaster for the US and the entire world.

Trump’s Terrible Tariffs

Trump’s tariffs not only hurt American consumers but also do long-term damage to American national security interests.

Why has #Elon #Musk spent hundreds of millions of dollars to try and deport himself?

Did Musk not realize he was just paying to keep Trump out of prison?

This is extraordinarily corrupt. But I still think he’s far more malevolent and sociopathic than merely corrupt.

NEWS: Stephen Miller owns a six-figure stock in Palantir, a company profiting off deportations, per @POGOwatchdog report migrantinsider.com/p/stephen-mi...

The other 6 #G7 leaders should demand that #Trump publicly apologizes for his mistake on blaming @JustinTrudeau for Russia’s expulsion from the #G8. Stephen Harper was the Prime Minister at the time. Trump is a dangerous Russian asset

If someone tells you this charade was to celebrate the military show them this photo. Who and what do you see at the center. This propaganda shot cost millions of dollars to produce. Every element is intentional.

Meet the Pentagon’s new press secretary

❗️BTOG / NLCA ‘State of the Nation’ webinar on 15th May❗️ The National Lung Cancer Audit has been instrumental in improvement of lung cancer outcomes in UK Come and hear about our successes and challenges. Neal Navani always gives a beautifully clear and concise talk. 👍

‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’ One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.

RFK Jr. asks CDC for new measles treatment guidance amid his unfounded claims

Kennedy claimed that drugs like budesonide and clarithromycin "have been shown very effective" for measles, but doctors say they don't fight the infection itself.

So Navarro here is expressly admitting that it was Trump’s tariffs that caused the economy to contract in the first quarter of 2025.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last yr.

Peter Navarro on CNBC reacts to the shrinking GDP number by insisting it's actually good news because if you strip out the effect of tariffs "you have 3 percent growth. So we really like where we're at now."

No country in the world will take the US seriously as long as a completely ignorant liar is president.

When the moment came, Harvard didn’t hedge or flinch—it stood up. A reminder that integrity isn’t complicated, it’s just rare.

The continued blindness of most of the US population to #Trump’s election denial and insurrection is something that historians will find hard to find answers to. It’s absolute lunacy that this man was allowed to stand again for the highest office of the land. I remain gobsmacked
