George H.W. Bush kept his assets in a blind trust, as did Bill Clinton. Neither Obama nor Biden traded stocks or bonds while in office. 3,700 trades is probably more than all the trades of all the presidents until now. And he is trading stocks that are affected by his decisions. A walking conflict of interest, at the least, and perhaps insider trading. Just as members of Congress should not be able to trade stocks, so too the president. https://t.co/yDqVXWfDgc

Can't stop thinking about Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive worth $828 billion, spending $290 million to elect Trump, becoming $563 billion richer since Trump was elected and ending humanitarian aid that will lead to the deaths of 4.5 million of the poorest kids on the planet.

Imagine being a scientist investigating vaccines in the U.S. After years of research and millions spent, your study is blocked from publication because your data doesn't support RFK's and the FDA's battle against vaccines. This is why people like me were forced to leave.

US nonprofit hospitals spent $7.8 billion on management consultants from 2009 to 2023, but contracts were not associated with meaningful changes in finance, operations, or quality of care. 🧵

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) remains a chronic, often disabling condition, and current first-line treatments like SSRIs can fall short with slow onset and limited efficacy. A novel agent, TSND-201 (methylone), is drawing attention as a potential rapid-acting option. Read more https://t.co/O8iC0DpOzy

Among patients requiring IM medications for agitation, active substance use was not associated with worse outcomes or safety concerns—and may be associated with longer response to treatment.

More tragedy in southern Lebanon today, with nine paramedics killed in five attacks on health care, taking the number of health personnel killed this month to 51. Seven medics were wounded in the strikes.

March has been the second most deadly month for health workers in Lebanon since @WHO started monitoring attacks on health care in the country in October 2023.

More than 120 health workers have also been reportedly wounded since the escalation began in Lebanon on 2 March, overwhelmingly in the country’s south.

In today's incidents, teams of medics working in five Lebanese villages were struck while on duty in the field.

In Zoutar al-Sharqiya, five health workers were killed in a strike and two were injured, one critically. Two more health workers were killed and three wounded in Kfar Tibnit; one paramedic died in an attack at a health facility in Ghandouriyeh, while another was killed in a strike in Jezzine. Two were wounded in an attack on Kfar Dajjal.

The repeated attacks on health care are severely disrupting the delivery of services in southern Lebanon. Four hospitals and 51 primary health care centres are now closed, significantly limiting access to essential care at a time when it is most needed. Several other health facilities have sustained partial damage and are operating at reduced capacity.

Health workers are protected under international humanitarian law and should never be targeted.

The only way to end these tragedies is to end attacks on health care, NOW!
