For those of you who have a terminal illness, a chronic condition, or debilitating health issue, there is new reason to have hope.

New treatments are arriving that buy more time for the next to arrive. Even for the most vicious of diseases, for example, metastatic pancreatic cancer.

The recent breakthrough, daraxonrasib, nearly doubled overall survival, 6.7 to 13.2 months, with fewer side effects than chemo. It's hard to overstate the significance of this.

In a slow world, a few months doesn't matter much. In a fast world, that could mean the difference to make it to the next life-extending therapy.

We are on a long arc of getting increasingly better at solving disease.

In 1919, Elizabeth Hughes was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. The only treatment was a starvation diet, which she did for three years. Her weight dropped to 45 pounds at age 14.

Then insulin arrived in 1922. It allowed her to live to 73.

And recently, Sid Sijbrandij used AI and existing biotech infrastructure to fight a recurring osteosarcoma that standard medicine had given up on. Today he has no evidence of disease.

A new era for life is here. It won't appear overnight. Nor will it be all sunshine and rainbows. But we are at the inflection point where hope can dare rise as the sun for those who have been stuck in the darkness.

Jeff Bezos: "If we ran Amazon the way New York City runs their school system, packages would take 6 weeks to arrive, we would charge you a $100 delivery fee and when the package did finally arrive, it would have the wrong item in it."

🇪🇸 Mariano Barbacid, Spaniard biochemist, announced a triple-therapy that wiped out pancreatic tumors in mice without resistance.

While Spaniard PM Sánchez prioritizes legalizing 500,000 migrants, the government failed to fund this research, so citizens stepped in, raising €841,000 from 18,000+ donors in under 24 hours.

Now it has 1.7M.

@NYCMayor You’re advertising a program as yours that has existed for years in nyc.

BREAKING: A Venezuelan man is going viral for clearly explaining why Nicolás Maduro needed to be overthrown.

The Communists, Islamists, and woke right look dumb.

“Venezuela has already been invaded.”

What amazing sight. In Nepal, citizens storm the Communist Party headquarters, tear down hammer and sickle flag. I stand with Nepalese who are fighting against their corrupted communist politicians. Pay attention, NYC!

@ericadamsfornyc Narcissistic corrupt dumb piece of shit

[John Stossel @JohnStossel]

A socialist will likely be my next mayor!

I don’t often report on local politics, but I make exception for Zohran Mamdani because people BELIEVE in him. He got a record number of votes in the primary!

Yet what he believes is just so STUPID.

Here’s why:
