@US_FDA Every patient community benefits when innovation reaches those who need it. Hoping families affected by DMD continue to see the same commitment to advancing new treatment options.

@NHKWORLD_News hoping everyone in kumamoto is safe. earthquakes are terrifying enough without a tsunami advisory on top of it.

@UNEP @UN climate finance matters but people are understandably skeptical after seeing way too many projects that looked better on paper than they did in reality

Here's the part we can't get past:
A species doesn't disappear because someone wakes up and decides to harm it.
It disappears because little by little, its home disappears.
The Trump Administration just made that easier.

@Heritage The FDA's communication has been confusing, but food producers also have a responsibility to maintain safe supply chains. Both sides need to answer tough questions.!

@EricLDaugh everyone suddenly remembering checks and balances after the patch notes dropped 😭

@FAOclimate @FAO microplastics really said "omw" to literally every ecosystem 😭

Power blackouts are spreading across parts of North Africa as temperatures soar above 40°C. This is why extreme heat is so dangerous. When the grid fails, millions can lose air conditioning, refrigeration and water pumping. Climate change is becoming an infrastructure crisis.

@ZakariaMDv3 @FDA One thing everyone should be able to agree on is that the FDA should evaluate these requests promptly and transparently. Public trust is built through clear evidence and consistent decision-making.

‼️ Whopper of a heat dome coming, and that’s no exaggeration! In all aspects: size, longevity, and especially intensity this will be extreme. The heat dome should shatter all-time records for upper level pressure in the Northern Plain States. Actual Temperatures (not heat index) in Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota and South Dakota could hit 110° in spots! The heatwave will peak Sunday through Wednesday.
This should come as no surprise, El Nino’s record pace is juicing atmospheric extremes on top of the longterm warming trend.

@forallcurious 60 dB 24/7 is no joke. Even if it's technically "within limits," constant noise can seriously affect sleep and quality of life.

A Meta data center in Wyoming has infected the local water system with a rare bacterium known as cupriavidus gilardii.

@NicHulscher The bigger issue is that the FDA often struggles with consistency. Predictable, evidence-based decisions and transparent reasoning would do a lot to improve confidence in the agency.

@ConstitustionX Laundry. If it folds fitted sheets too, I'll preorder tomorrow.

Drone footage of La Guaira, Venezuela, shows the devastating aftermath of back-to-back earthquakes that struck on June 24.

@OccupyDemocrats the bacteria is scary enough without turning every post into a political speedrun tbh

[Climate Reality @ClimateReality]

Americans know it’s unbearably hot outside. They can feel the weather getting more extreme, they can see the warnings, and they can feel it in their homes and electricity bills. But this isn’t just summer hot — it’s climate change hot, made worse by fossil fuels.

[Brandy Blankenship @brandy_blank]

@BleacherReport finals MVP getting treated like an afterthought, I'd be pissed too tbh

this is the REAL problem with AI!

Starting this weekend, Major to Extreme HeatRisk will begin spreading into the Midwest, Deep South, and southwestern U.S. As blistering as the daytime highs will be in many areas, record-warm morning lows will heighten the danger for those unable to seek cool shelter. Ensure your loved ones and neighbors stay safe from the heat, and remain #WeatherReady.

@MilHistNow wild that the speech everyone remembers as this defining cold war moment was mostly ignored at the time and his own speechwriters had to fight the state department to keep the line in
