Why are US medicines so darn expensive?
And can Trump actually do something about it?

W/today's Trump/AZ deal, sharing my still-relevant earlier @opinion.bloomberg.com column on the Trump/Pfizer drug pricing deal. As @dusetzinas.bsky.social told me then, the details really matter & seems possible we'll never get them--and never know if these deals are mainly good for pharma. 🎁link:

We are excited to share a recently published article in @jhppl.bsky.social which investigates the past, present, and future of @fda.gov reforms. As numerous changes occurring at the agency threaten public trust and scientific rigor, there is still opportunity to reenvision the future (1/3)

Lol the Nobels can't even acknowledge women's contribution to discovery. But sure let's acknowledge The Machines.
Headline from an article in Nature this week that states "Prizes must recognize machine contributions to discovery. The future of science will be written by humans and machines together. Awards should reflect that reality."

Want to see a good example of political gerrymandering? My house is the red dot (approximately). People should have representation that reflect their local communities (whatever their politics). Not this mess.

PSA - Canceling AAA coverage is very annoying. If you are successful, you will apparently receive a "Your benefits expire tomorrow" and a "We hate to see you go" pair of emails every day for the rest of your life.

Next year, a lot of folks are going to see their premiums go up $1,000 or more per month because of a Republican policy.

If you start having to pay $1,000 extra every month, what will you stop being able to afford?

This is what Democrats are fighting to stop.
