gonna guess there high probability that the FAA grounding all flights in the US is related to an $875m AI tool it built called SMART that will “assist in managing air traffic across the entire national air system” that the administration started rolling out….yesteday

@RyanTomasella @richoleque @ericweinstein 'hey dude i barely know who you are and don't know these folks well but bruh they seem excited to fly you to the place you hate, you down?'

[The Guardian Duck @TheGuardianDuck]

@richoleque @ericweinstein This is EXTREMELY WEIRD.

[The Guardian Duck @TheGuardianDuck]

@ericweinstein The most surprising thing here is that you + "wealthy American Israel supporters" thought flying Ian Carroll + other loud Israel critics over to Israel would magically make them think Israel is great.

Seriously?? It doesn't make any sense.

I deleted my previous post because I don’t want to come across as an anti-vaxxer. I’m 100% pro-science and pro-vaccination. But today was one of the scariest experiences I’ve had as a first-time mom.

My almost 10-week-old baby, who barely ever cries and is usually all smiles, suddenly started screaming bloody murder after he received his 2 months routine vaccines. The kind of screaming that makes you think your child is in excruciating pain. I was absolutely hysterical.

At 7 p.m., I found myself calling 911 and the pediatrician, terrified something was seriously wrong.

Here’s what made it so frightening: the rotavirus vaccine carries a very rare risk of intussusception, a potentially life-threatening condition where part of the intestine slides into another, causing severe abdominal pain. One warning sign is sudden, intense crying in waves and that was exactly happening.

At the same time, his thighs were red, swollen, and extremely painful from the injections. He was screaming, kicking his legs, and appearing to have cramps. Was it intestinal pain or pain from the injections? I had no idea.

After nearly an hour of trying to comfort him, he finally calmed down. We suspect his legs were hurting, but we can’t know for certain without an examination.

What would I do differently?

I would discuss spacing the vaccines about a week apart with our pediatrician, while still following the recommended age limits and completing every vaccine.

Not because I question vaccines or their benefits, but because experiencing several possible side effects simultaneously made it incredibly difficult to understand what was happening to my baby.

I understand that giving vaccines together is well studied and recommended as safe, and that spacing them out isn’t proven to reduce serious reactions.

But after today’s experience, I want to have that conversation before his four-month vaccinations.

@Matt06884451 @RenzTom Clearly not.

Tom is pointing out that RFK is not MAHA because he's much more than okay with Susie.

@burnyourbinder @JLCederblom "they’ve probably lost about half of their participants to follow up by now."

you were right. 🎯

[Claire 🦎 @burnyourbinder]

the study I’ve been talking about conducted by the clinic which transitioned me as a middle schooler has come out, 51% of the initial study cohort was lost to follow up and they continue to act as though their conclusions about “regret” and “harm” are meaningful in any way.

[Claire 🦎 @burnyourbinder]

I want y’all to know ahead of time that the study being done by the former dallas GENECIS clinic on longitudinal outcomes for patients who were transitioned as children contains one question about regret, none about detransition, and has two whole survey sections in which every single question begins with the assumption that the study participants all currently identify as trans. the researchers are obviously biased towards a single outcome, I have complained about this several times and nothing has been done.

[Leor Sapir @LeorSapir]

A classic in the genre of medical disinformation. 👇

A new JAMA study uses surveys to assess regret among those who received hormones as teens.

42.5% did not return the surveys.

The authors nevertheless conclude that regret was “rare,” without acknowledging the 42.5% non-response in the limitations, and their conclusion is that gender Rx should not be restricted for youth (a non-sequitur). JAMA, apparently, sees this as worthy of publication.

The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) then uncritically reports the new study’s findings, also without any mention of the 42.5%.

This study will almost certainly be citation laundered, cited again and again in medical literature, media coverage, and legislative hearings, until its “findings” become “well-established truth.”

@KatieMiller You cannot make America healthy again while continuing to inject millions of children with mRNA. 7 million children have received a covid shot under current administration. I’m willing to bet you aren’t injecting your own children. Please speak up.

@lifebiomedguru @solari_the Claiming there is no feud or fault lines within MAHA isn't a good look.

[Mary Talley Bowden MD @MaryBowdenMD]

Calley Means is a con artist.
@jimmy_dore explains it perfectly.

[The Guardian Duck @TheGuardianDuck]

@lifebiomedguru @solari_the No, not everyone. But you? Yeah. You've been kissing the MAHA ring.

[James Lyons-Weiler @lifebiomedguru]

There is no "feud" within MAHA. Nor are therey"fault lines". Wiles was never MAHA. She's gone. We are about to see the real MAHA. @tonylyonspub @RobertKennedyJr @calleymeans @AaronSiriSG @ChildrensHD @delbigtree @sayerjigmi They number in the millions. Detractors who detractor for attention and the spotlight are not building agendas or action plans. Rational criticism has its place, but you buried the lede, @thehill.

Permanent vision loss is now part of the warning patients must receive about Ozempic.

The FDA is requiring new warnings across GLP-1 drugs about a potential increased risk of an eye condition that can permanently damage sight.

I previously covered the vision-loss lawsuits. Here’s how this fits into the larger Ozempic story. 🧵

Did Susie Wiles Really Block MAHA?

RFK Jr.’s daughter-in-law is now a lobbyist at the same firm Susie Wiles worked for.

Amaryllis Fox Kennedy joined Ballard Partners in July.

Her clients paid Ballard nearly $2 million in just 3 months.

And she still sits on two of Trump’s intelligence boards.

Bookmark this.

Amaryllis Fox Kennedy is a former CIA clandestine services officer.

At Ballard, she now lobbies for:

AI companies.

Big Tech giant Anthropic paid Ballard $380,000 in Q3 2026.

Defense tech companies.

Sempre Inc., a company building data tech resistant to EMP weapons, paid Ballard $60,000 in Q3 2026.

AI data center development and equipment companies.

NorthPoint Development paid Ballard $70,000 in Q3 2026.

Solidigm Inc. paid Ballard $50,000 in Q3 2026.

This one has a wild story.

Bancrédito Holding Corp. is the parent company of a Puerto Rican bank that was forced to surrender its license and pay a $15 million fine for Bank Secrecy Act violations.

The bank was founded by billionaire Julio Herrera Velutini.

Velutini was charged in 2022 with bribing Puerto Rican Governor Wanda Vázquez Garced to remove the regulator investigating his bank.

He plead guilty.

Then, Trump pardoned him in January 2026.

Amaryllis Fox Kennedy served as Trump’s Deputy Director of National Intelligence for Policy and Capabilities from July 2025 to May 2026.

And as Trump’s Associate Director of the Office of Management and Budget for Intelligence and International Affairs from February 2025 to May 2026.

Then, she joined Ballard as a partner and co-chair of the Emerging Technology and AI Practice Group in July 2026.

In September, she appeared on Ballard’s own podcast, 13th & Park.

She said:

“I still sit on the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board and the Intelligence Oversight Board.”
