NEW: The state of California allowed a home health agency in Riverside to bill Medicaid over $30 million even though the business failed to file mandatory reports for five years in a row. The agency has also been suspended by the the tax board since 2025.

Nathan Ogbatue, the CEO of the home health agency bought millions in California real estate and is credited with providing the funds to build a new palace in Nigeria. We spoke to fraud experts who told us the home health agency's billing raised red flags. More here: https://t.co/1RLMdKPe0l

This is such an insane story!

This story unfolds like a Netflix documentary -- millions in taxpayer Medicaid dollars, mansions, name changes, and more 👇.

According to federal data, California's Medicaid program paid a respiratory equipment company called HeroCare $40 million between 2020 and 2024 -- about 85% of it was paid out between 2023 and 2024 alone.

HeroCare's owner, Curtis Kurkova, lives in a $28 million mansion that he signed the mortgage papers for earlier this year. In 2023, he legally changed his last name, and he and his husband, Christian have multiple high-dollar properties in the Los Angeles area.

One since-deleted Instagram post shows the couple on a rented private jet, captioned "It's giving Narcos, but the money's clean!" But is it?

We asked fraud experts to analyze HeroCare's billing patterns and they said it raises some major red flags. Read the full story here: https://t.co/UmpUghJ6Vi

The LIPID GODS are at play: On NATIONAL LIPID DAY, less than a week after attaining Master of the NLA Status (MNLA), not only does the world's leading Lipid Organization post a podcast of me (interviewed by the famed lipidologist Peter H. Jones) but I also attained 100,000 followers on Twitter (X). That is unreal for a site devoted only to solid lipid and cardiovascular science. I am so honored that so many enjoy and trust my material. THANK YOU ALL @nationallipid @society_eas @aspc @escardio @atherosociety @foundationofnla @FamilyHeartFdn @fhpatienteurope @MenopauseOrg

A Mayo Clinic-developed artificial intelligence (AI) model can help specialists detect pancreatic cancer on routine abdominal CT scans up to three years before clinical diagnosis. It identifies subtle signs of disease before tumors are visible, when curative treatment may still be possible. The findings, published in Gut, mark a milestone in Mayo Clinic's multiyear research effort to enable earlier detection of one of the deadliest cancers.

@Maddie_Rowley_ @madeleinekearns What a beautiful story! Thanks for sharing, and congratulations to your colleague and her husband on the birth of their daughter!

My colleague and friend @madeleinekearns wrote a spectacularly moving piece about what she went through to meet her daughter (born just four days ago!) I learned so much about infertility and what it sometimes takes to get to the root cause of it. https://t.co/mhd1g5ngb8

Thank you for sharing this extremely disturbing post @TheFP. I think you are correct that no one else is sharing this story.

After years of oppression under Assad, the Christian population in Syria hovers around 2%. What’s next for Christians under Al-Jolani, the leader of the Sunni Islamist rebel group that took control of Syria over the last 12 days?

Jimmy Lai, who rose in Hong Kong from child laborer to media baron, now faces up to life in prison on sedition charges https://t.co/Jd2c501MKg via @WSJ

A long message was posted on Gwyneth Ho’s Facebook page on Tuesday after the former journalist was among 45 pro-democracy figures jailed over their roles in a primary election. Ho was sentenced to seven years in jail.

“Prosecuting democratic politicians and activists across the spectrum, the case was seen as the turning point at which Hong Kong became a lost cause. People were scared into silence and forced to give up hope for democracy in Hong Kong,” the post read, adding that Ho chose to fight the best fight she could.

“What really defines our identity is not the suffering itself, but the way in which we face it. It is in action that one defines oneself, and only people who truly know who they are can open up, make new connections in the most unexpected circumstances, and bring about change,” it continued.
