The problem for Trump is that his Department of Justice keeps losing cases that it needs to access this critical data. This humiliating string of defeats threatens to derail Trump’s signature plan to subvert the 2026 midterm elections. https://t.co/kYAo6iLexT

JAMA Oncology meta-analysis: pooled second primary malignancy rate was 3.5% across 2551 pts on bispecifics (NHL + MM), median 17.4-mo follow-up; 1.4% fatal. As bispecifics move earlier, long-term safety surveillance matters for our patients. #mmsm #myeloma #MedTwitter #MedEd

Today, I’m announcing something new to fight back against Donald Trump and his attacks on our democracy. I'm launching Back The Bold to restore accountability in Washington.
The mission is straightforward: to back leaders with the courage to say what needs to be said, do what needs to be done, and hold Donald Trump and his administration accountable. That means supporting Democrats and Independents who refuse to flinch. It's time to be bold.  Join the fight.

Elias Law Group for the WIN!!

[Marc E. Elias @marceelias]

🚨BREAKING: In a MAJOR VICTORY, the 6th Circuit REJECTS Department of Justice lawsuit to access Michigan's voter file. The first appeals court to rule on an appeal in DOJ's 9 defeats.

I am proud of the Elias Law Group team for this critical win! https://t.co/vNk9oMTnTM

A Christian. A Muslim. A Jew.

Three people that certain politicians, pundits, and cable news hosts would have you believe are destined to fear each other.

Instead, they’re laughing together, talking together, and enjoying each other’s company.

Turns out ordinary people are often a lot better at coexistence than the people making money from division. ❤️

[Marc E. Elias @marceelias]

If DOJ cant win before 9 District Courts — including 5 judges nominated by Trump — and it cant win before the 6th Circuit, it is isn’t likely to win any of the 31 cases. A total debacle for DOJ. https://t.co/ZuDEj5n8Yl

Let me be really clear about what just happened.

The head of the U.S. Postal Service sat in front of the United States Senate and said the quiet part loud: no voter list, no mail ballots. Full stop.

You don’t get to look away from this one.

This is a proposed rule. It’s being fought in court. But the fact that it was said — that a federal official openly threatened to withhold your ballot — that matters.

Your vote is yours. Not the administration’s. Not USPS’s. Yours.

Stay informed. Stay loud.

It's real - these m*ther f*ckers WANT a fascist state.

🚨BREAKING: Postmaster General David Steiner told senators that, under a new proposed rule, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) will not deliver mail ballots unless states hand over their voter lists to the Trump administration https://t.co/WA59TUHa59

Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis.

Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention.

So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption.

Guys, I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if someone can jump into the reflecting pool undetected and use a box cutter to cut through 300 ft of rubber coating we were told would last half a century, our problems are much bigger than some f’ng algae.

Just out: Our study using NHANES samples in persons age 10-49 shows that MGUS starts at a younger age in Black people and that there is a markedly higher risk of MGUS in African Americans compared to White people. The 2-3 fold high risk of MGUS in Black people is the reason why Multiple Myeloma is 2-3 fold more likely to occur in African Americans compared to the White population. Study done in collaboration with @DrOlaLandgren over 15 years. This is the third paper and uses highly sensitive mass spectrometry.

Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance (MGUS) is the premalignant precursor of multiple myeloma. The reason age adjusted prevalence of myeloma in African Americans is mainly because they have a 2-3 fold higher higher risk of MGUS and not felt to be due to a higher risk of progression of MGUS to myeloma. This is an important point. Genetic differences in other words predispose to the “polyp” (MGUS) but not the cancer (myeloma).

We believe there is a genetic predisposition to the origin of MGUS presumably due to an aberrant response to antigen stimulation in Blacks in the US and in Western Africa compared to Whites. We don’t think that the disparity in the occurrence of MGUS is due to environmental exposure differences. For one it’s seen in all socio economic strata. Second the higher prevalence is seen in studies we did in Ghana exactly similar to what we see in African Americans. And third, in a study we did in a Southern US cohort where we looked at African American and White women living in the same region with same socioeconomic status, we found a 2-3 fold higher risk of MGUS in African American women. So it’s unlikely to be environmental differences. Our study of other modifiable risk factors in NHANES doesn’t explain the disparity.

We suspect that the disparity we see in African Americans and in studies Western Africa, may or may not be present in Eastern African countries. Which is why we are studying the Somali population in Minnesota currently.

Our NHANES study just published @BloodCancerJnl shows that the disparity in occurrence of MGUS is apparent even at age 30-39 in African Americans compared to White population in America.

I’ve resigned from The Baltimore Sun after 25 years of politics and sports reporting. I was proud to have been there during a long period when our reporting followed the facts wherever they happened to lead. I’m not saying anything readers can’t see for themselves, but The Sun has changed since its purchase by David Smith, executive chairman of the Sinclair Broadcast Group. I no longer fit there. I’m grateful to the sources whose trust enabled me to report responsibly, and to the readers who supported our work. I’m exploring new opportunities inside and outside journalism. My DMs are open.
