Former federal prosecutor, health care lawyer, & compliance expert. Artist. Believer in the rule of law. Hopeful that justice will prevail.

Scoop: NIH is on a mission to enlist one million Americans to share their genetic data to help with health research through a precision medicine program called “All of Us.” What participants don’t know is that at one research site, Palantir stores the data. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Palantir has a hand in NIH's most ambitious health initiative

The defense tech firm's work with public health data has largely flown under the radar.

Trump may disagree with Pirro, but there are apparently limits to how much she’s willing to lie to propagate his narrative. If DOJ had any evidence, even circumstantial, they would be charging people.

Liz Oyer says she's received deaths threats since testifying against Todd Blanche's nomination for Attorney General — and that Missouri's Josh Hawley and Eric Schmitt have helped fuel the violent threats against her.

Trump: "They always try to blame me for high prices…I had nothing to do with it…The fake news goes, 'affordability, affordability.' I said, 'What's affordability? What's that all about?'"

Trump doesn't care about National Parks because he's never been to one. He's never gone camping or gone on a hike in his life. He's a soft handed, overfed, out of shape, weak man. He's happy to kill our National Parks because he can't enjoy them. He's not fit for this Earth, not fit for leadership.

This is random, but I wanted to extend my gratitude to Democratic Congresswoman Joyce Beatty for her tireless effort in protecting the Kennedy Center from being fully destroyed by a vindictive jealous petty classless criminal. 💙👊

Astonishing. RFK Jr. adds 8 members to a 6 member FDA advisory panel. 6 of them were sellers of peptides, and the 7th a compounding pharmacist. In an 8-6 vote with all 8 votes coming from these new panel members, the panel approved 4 peptides against the objections of FDA scientists.

FDA Panel Supports Lifting Restrictions on Four Peptides (Gift Article)

In an all-day hearing, the agency’s scientists argued against allowing broad access to unproven drugs that the agency had banned three years ago.

🤡: 'is there any scam I haven't tried yet? Let's do it!' Money-grubbing partners in crime: 'come on man, that's too far' "[Grifter-in-chief]’s plan to offer early access to his Truth Social posts in exchange for huge monthly fees has not landed well with Wall Street or the GOP"

Wall Street and GOP slams Trump’s plan to charge for early Truth Social access

One critic warned that the offer amounted to the ‘ability to move markets when you’re advancing information’

Truly absurd headline. And most importantly, grossly factually inaccurate. Beyond any reasonable doubt, Trump is a sociopath; he does not grieve, nor is he capable of grief. Even if journalists are too timid to report that truth, they should not report the contrary as truth.

Buttigieg: The fact that the Trump admin deleted references to 4 American service members killed in action b/c that simple and tragic reality complicates their narrative that we're not at war, when everybody knows that we are, shows how far from reality they are. I think voters are fed up with it.
