I join you in being outraged that Spencer Pratt rigged the election to be in 2nd place on election night.

With trump causing high gas prices, grocery prices and housing prices, there is NO WAY trump puppet Pratt could have been in 2nd place in deep blue LA on election night.

Trump is literally passed out slumped in his chair.

Wtf are we doing people

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

Hard to tell if this is The People’s House or an abandoned Six Flags.

[Mark Warner @MarkWarner]

Trump said the quiet part out loud… he picked Bill Pulte because he wants him to investigate our elections.

This is all just a totally bogus attempt to justify interfering in the midterms.

We must stop Pulte.

We must reject this plot.

From the Texas Tribune:

After Mexican officials confirmed case of screwworm in Nov. 2024, USDA, under Joe Biden, closed southern ports of entry to live cattle imports to prevent spread of screwworm into U.S. Move also strained supply of cattle in Texas....
USDA reversed course in Feb 2025, after Trump took office, announcing opening of ports"

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

All the election fraud nonsense from Republicans for 6 years - court cases, airtime, hearings, investigations, conspiracies, audits - all due to one single reason:

Trump has never admitted that he lost a contest in his entire life.

So an entire party must sound like idiots.

Wow, if you read this you might get the impression that trump is getting ready to steal the next election! And you’d be right.

[Jim Stewartson, Decelerationist 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇺🇸 @jimstewartson]

By the time Trump is done, he will have transferred many trillions to the billionaire class—DOGE, the BBB, entitlement cuts, crypto fraud, pardons, total criminal immunity...

The chief enabler & beneficiary is racist conman Elon Musk.

The SpaceX IPO is the final capitulation.

Despite his white supremacist, eugenicist & violent comments, and despite the ACTIONS he’s taken which led to the EBOLA outbreak, the SCREWWORM outbreak & MILLIONS of dead from starvation and AIDS, the entire financial sector has looked the other way.

Venture capital, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, private equity, NASDAQ, FTSE Russell, Fidelity, Google…

They’ve all just decided that a man who lies all day long, and who wants to genetically engineer humanity to be more white, should be able to dump his stock on retirees whether they like it or not.

For money.

I believe we have reached terminal capitalism. We need to fundamentally change the system that sorts sadistic psychopaths to the top of the pyramid.

[Angry Staffer @Angry_Staffer]

You should ask yourself why all of the people who are screeching about election fraud on social media are always unwilling to repeat these claims under oath.

Let me help you: it’s because they know they’re full of shit. The entire purpose is to keep people angry.

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

Dear @SecRollins: You lie. The average life cycle of a Screwworm ranges from 14 to 54 days depending on temperature and humidity.

The trump Administration has been in office over 500 days.

If you can’t accept responsibility, or even apologize for messing up, you need to resign.

I'm a cardiologist. I've held dying hearts in my hands in the cath lab at 3 AM. And I need to tell you something that changes everything about how we prevent heart attacks.

For decades, the entire field was built on one target: lower LDL cholesterol. Statins save lives — that's settled science. But too many of my patients did everything right — took their statins, hit their numbers, lived clean — and still ended up on my table with a ruptured artery.

We were treating the smoke while the fire kept burning.
The fire is inflammation. And the evidence is now overwhelming.

The CANTOS trial proved it first — lowering inflammation independent of cholesterol reduced cardiac events. But the newer data is what keeps me up at night.

AI-enhanced CT angiography can now detect inflamed arteries by measuring changes in the fat surrounding your coronary vessels — the perivascular fat attenuation index. Higher inflammation in the fat around even one artery independently predicts cardiac death. When multiple arteries show inflammation, the risk multiplies dramatically — even in patients whose cholesterol looks perfect.

This isn't theoretical. This is measurable. Right now. On a scan you can get this month.

Low-dose colchicine — a drug that's been around for centuries for gout — is now FDA-approved specifically for reducing cardiovascular events. It works by quieting the inflammatory cascade that destabilizes the plaque sitting in your arteries. A pill that costs pennies is saving lives the statins couldn't reach.

And the next wave is already in Phase 3 trials. Ziltivekimab — an IL-6 inhibitor — targets the central inflammatory pathway driving atherosclerosis. Phase 2 data showed a 90% reduction in hsCRP. The ZEUS cardiovascular outcomes trial is enrolling now, with results expected late 2026 into 2027. If positive, anti-inflammatory therapy will become standard in managing heart disease alongside lipid-lowering. The era of inflammation-targeted cardiology is arriving.
But it goes deeper than drugs. AI is now predicting heart failure and cardiac events 5+ years before symptoms — integrating CT imaging, electronic health records, and genetic data with accuracy that jumps far beyond traditional risk calculators.

And polygenic risk scores — a simple genetic test that flags inherited cardiovascular risk — are now formally recognized as a risk-enhancing factor in the 2026 ACC/AHA guidelines. A single blood draw can reveal risk that's been silently building since birth. Decades before the first chest pain.

Here's what this means for you right now — today:
Ask your doctor for a high-sensitivity CRP test. It's cheap, routine, and measures the systemic inflammation that standard cholesterol panels completely miss. You can have perfect LDL and inflamed arteries that are quietly preparing to rupture.
If your hsCRP is elevated, discuss low-dose colchicine with your physician. It's FDA-approved for exactly this.
Push for a coronary CT angiography with AI plaque and inflammation analysis if you have risk factors. This isn't the stress test your parents got. This is 3D visualization of your actual arteries — with AI quantifying not just how much plaque you have, but what kind it is and whether the surrounding tissue is inflamed.
Consider polygenic risk score testing — especially with a family history of early heart disease. It's now guideline-supported.

And the foundation that never changes: move daily, eat real food, sleep 7-9 hours, manage stress, and know your numbers — ApoB, Lp(a), hsCRP, fasting insulin.
I left Iran as a child with nothing. I rebuilt everything in a country that gave me the freedom to become a physician. I've spent twenty years watching patients get second chances.

The ones who haunt me aren't the ones who died on my table. They're the ones who survived but never acted on what the science was telling them — years before the event that didn't have to happen.

You can have perfect cholesterol and still have a heart attack. Inflammation plus genetics can drive plaque rupture in arteries that look "fine" on a standard panel.
The myth that normal cholesterol means you're safe has cost more lives than I can count.

We now have the tools to detect the fire — not just the smoke. AI to see it. Genetics to predict it. Drugs to quiet it. And the ancient basics — movement, real food, sleep, purpose — to prevent it from starting.

Prevention is the new cure. And the science to make it real is no longer coming.
It's here.

🚨USDA confirms two new cases of flesh-eating screwworm parasite in Texas—the nightmare maggots burrowing into live cattle.

Thanks, Trump. Your admin gutted pest control & border health programs, and now this horror is back after 60 years.

MAGA making livestock great again.🐛🔥

[Jim Stewartson, Decelerationist 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇺🇸 @jimstewartson]

Exactly correct. The billionaire class is an economic tumor that has metastasized to every major organ in civilization in search of growth at all costs. The primary characteristic they share is psychopathy—they see humans as disposable objects. They are eating us alive.

[Rick Wilson @TheRickWilson]

Have the day you voted for.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

You have to read this. 

Trump demolished the East Wing of the White House and replaced it with a private ballroom funded by corporate donors. Now we know what they got for it. 

More than half of the publicly identified donors to that $400 million project won new or expanded federal contracts worth more than $50 billion in the 6 months after they gave. Most of those same companies also had federal enforcement actions against them suspended by the Trump Administration during the same period. 

There is no honest word for that other than corruption.

[tim russ @timruss2]

It was found in Texas. It destroys cattle too. It was still in other countries and the US put in programs to ensure it wouldn’t enter the US again. 60 years of success.
Until Trump cut the funding, and now it’s back in the US. Are we Great Again yet?

This is what the reflecting pool *actually* looked like (at 3:06 and 3:07 p.m.) today, Friday, June 5, 2026, you imbecilic, deranged liars:

[Tom Nichols @RadioFreeTom]

History will not remember either of us. But I know that history will record that the most disgraceful man ever to hold the office of President of the United States stood in Arlington, looked around, and asked: "I don't get it. What was in it for them?"

[Chili Dog @RobertJMolnar]

this is insane
