When the Pentagon announced a $620 million loan last year to a startup linked to Donald Trump Jr., defense officials and the company tried to tamp down suspicions of cronyism.
We found that the request came directly from the White House.

Rigorous evaluation of medical AI is good for everyone, and we welcome it. Counter to a half-dozen independent studies from institutions such as the Mayo Clinic that were highly positive on OpenEvidence—a lone paper now purports to show that generalized AI beats specialized clinical AI (@UpToDate, @EvidenceOpen). The paper has a massive undisclosed conflict of interest and irredeemable methodological flaws.
Behind the scenes: The study authors run a competing in-house medical AI at their hospital, and asked OpenEvidence for an API to power it — including rights to build a "competing product" with OpenEvidence's own API. OpenEvidence declined. Then, this paper coincidentally appeared.
Point-by-point, looking closely at the datasets used in the study, the disingenuous and fatal flaws become immediately apparent 🧵.
I fear we have a cruel month ahead of us: the future of campaign finance law, the definition of Election Day, the fate of birthright citizenship. While I remain hopeful, I am prepared for democracy to leave this month weaker than it entered. https://t.co/WKWGn1CznF
Here's what you need to know about DOJ's approval of the Paramount deal:
David Ellison gets what he wants -- control over a vast entertainment empire.
Donald Trump gets what he wants -- a neutered CBS and CNN.
Fight back by supporting independent media. https://t.co/bZLgVCQ4Xq
@AliceYYCheng@ADA_DiabetesPro Meaningless performative apologies & 'independent' review. ADA has been near-silent as NIH destruction continued. Its first impulse was to shove aside researchers frantically raising the alarm. Every single ADA exec involved is still employed there. ADA is rotten to the core.
@jflier@AmDiabetesAssn Performative apologies & 'reviews' count for zilch. The very idea that researchers frantic about destruction of the NIH shd be shoved aside speaks to the rot in today's ADA.
The fact that every ADA exec who supported that action still has a job tonight is the ultimate betrayal.
Dear @SecRollins: You keep getting fact checked for your lies. It’s your Administration that cut the Screwworm programs.
Also, the life cycle of a Screwworm is 14 to 54 days. The trump Administration has been in office over 500 days.
If you can’t stop lying, you need to resign.
If you are on the board or among the leadership of the American Diabetes Association - follow the examples of President-Elect Jennifer Green, MD, and Scientific Sessions Planning Committee Chair Mark Atkinson, PhD and resign. Simple.

The condemnations keep coming after five diabetes experts were escorted out of an ADA meeting for handing out copies of an editorial criticizing federal research cuts. https://t.co/gARJRTEQgc
@ChuckatADA@AmDiabetesAssn And because the ADA shamefully bends a knee as the NIH is dismantled, one of these kids' best hopes for meaningful research that makes a difference in their lives turns to dust.
