Lawfare’s Katherine Pompilio found that 97 pardoned J6 insurrectionists — roughly 1 in 15 — have committed more crimes since receiving their pardons.

She tells @Timodc how Trump’s continued messaging has emboldened many of them to keep acting out.

If only there was a Senator who could have prevented RFK Jr from becoming HHS Sec.

@nickmmark @atrupar Geriatrician here. I’ve been saying this for weeks. I wouldn’t doubt that a sleep study has been recommended but he has refused one.

[James Richardson, MD, MPH @DocRock54]

That’s what I’ve been banging on about for weeks. He’s the picture of a patient with sleep apnea. He should have a sleep study (though my bet is that one of his doctors has recommended it and he has refused). #medtwitter

[Jonathan Reiner @JReinerMD]

A glaring omission from the president’s recent physical examination is any mention of his sleep disorder. This is not normal.

Very very good! #medtwitter

@amateursuman performed his 'Anaesthetist's Hymn' at The BMJ Medics' Revue 2026.

@PathogenScribe Reached in Heaven, Louis Pasteur said, "Quelle surprise!" (Pasteur also expressed many sentiments not suitable to repeat.)

[James Richardson, MD, MPH @DocRock54]

So true and so important!

Never leave kids in the car, even for a few minutes. Shade and cracking the window do not help.

@saymaysmith @atrupar @CatherineM0yim I don’t watch @jaketapper any more. Does he ever address Trump’s physical, emotional, and cognitive decline? Maybe his billionaire overlords have asked him to sag off.

[James Richardson, MD, MPH @DocRock54]

@MacFarlaneNews Mikey’s really worried about HIS election.

[Sarah Rumpf 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇦 @rumpfshaker]

Either Ogles posted the tweet himself (and he’s lying) or he is communicating with his staff in a way that made them think that tweet was ok.

Both possibilities are dishonorable and despicable.

RETWEET if you support Scott Pelley after CBS News has just fired him.

The Trump administration is DISMANTLING the network of buoys that help California monitor for major tsunamis and earthquakes.

Cool.

[Prof Peter Hotez MD PhD DSc(hon) @PeterHotez]

Important to call out this statement from HHS in this AM’s NYT article on vaccines for what it is: 1. It’s untrue, 2. It’s manipulative, 3. It’s little more than Soviet-era propaganda: There is zero transparency at HHS, they are spearheading an anti-science disinformation campaign

And now people are refusing tetanus boosters?! I thought my 30+ year-old article might help convince them (The prevention of tetanus in the elderly. Arch Intern Med. 1991;151:1712-17).

“Trump has wrecked it. He has debased the People’s House with the aesthetic sensibilities of a pimp turned bankrupt casino operator and reality television performer, who confuses excess for greatness and spectacle for dignity. It’s appalling.”
