It’s worse than that… Our bases in Germany protect the continental US from the possibility of Putin, striking with a nuclear weapon. During his 90 minute phone call with Putin they discussed giving Iran’s enriched uranium to Putin… Now we’re gonna help Putin make nuclear weapons to attack the USA?

We all want to age well. To me, this means:
- having loving, respectful relationships
- living with meaning & purpose, consistent with my values
- being emotionally, cognitively & physically healthy
- making choices that benefit my community, family & me
- being resilient despite stressors of aging

Ppl we do cognitive exams to follow TBI/TIA/CVA/post surgery ect. Sometimes for families concerned if grandpa is safe at home without starting the house on fire. For my pts if they schedule & get to their apt, understand their meds, I just chart ‘cognitively intact’. I ask why Trump has so many?

Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social
Secretary of HHS and others make some big claims, social scientists say "we can test that." No, fluoride *does not* reduce your IQ. A neat bit of social science from @pamherd.bsky.social and colleagues. www.usatoday.com/story/news/h...

🧵 Today, a federal appeals court ruled that abortion seekers can only get mifepristone in person at a health center, in another attack on abortion access that has nothing to do with safety and everything to do with control. www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...

Weirdly I think Biden did neither well nor poorly on Covid. He inherited a country that was mostly masking/distancing but already growing restive, supervised an orderly vaccination rollout, supported public health, and led a decent economic recovery.
Bean & Sprout's Mom@beansproutsmom.bsky.social
No. Biden (Jan 2021 to Jan 2025) did not do well on COVID. He did well on *pretending* it was gone. To be fair, he was in good international company. But he deserves no credit. The image below is US COVID infections to Apr 24, 2026 as modelled from wastewater data, by @jpweiland.bsky.social.

One of our C4 Community Advisory Council members (Michael Frierson) recently did a podcast about colorectal cancer and the warning signs in those under 45 that should be promptly followed up rather than dismissed.

Intriguingly, and perhaps a little scarily- given the ability of AI to outperform humans in specific arenas, AI may become recommended or even mandated standard of care eg. monitoring for deterioration.🤯 And that will need to be balanced against patient consent and privacy.

Rhea Liang@liangrhea.bsky.social
Chelsea Gordon, AI Legal Lead @minterellison.bsky.social , brings balance to surgical futurism by noting the many and overlapping regulatory requirements already being tested by case law. It will be the *clinician's* responsibility to meet these requirements. #RACS26
