Isaiah Thomas is crying and so am I at his moving eulogy of Jesse Jackson. He’s not just amazing at basketball.
Not to mention them showing a woman with a child at that line. Before the 1970s women had a hard time opening their own bank accounts or getting their own credit cards without a dad or husband’s sign off.
Whoever wrote this line: “from factory workers in Detroit, to farmers in Omaha, anyone could own a piece of the great American companies” with pics of pre-1970s Black people when they say “anyone” — doesn’t know much about the reality of social or economic history in this country.
And Hassett keeps focusing on how AI and robotics will make us richer as a country… every time @jimcramerpeeps.bsky.social asked about what will happen to the people who will lose jobs.
Hassett literally trying to put a good face on the jobs number between the smiling and cherry-picking data.
Medicare Chief Chris Klomp: "You can like it or you can hate it, but health plans are part of the team and the patient's care journey. And so for the sake of patients, but also for the sake of physicians ... we need more trust," he said.
The HHS Secretary seems to fancy himself a health action figure.
Not sure his MAHA base is buying it …
When pressed by @beckyquick.bluesky.com about WSJ editorial on Dr. Vinay Prasad, FDA Commissioner Dr. Makary says media critics have set out on a “fatwa” of the CBER chief.
President Trump's health plan has more concepts than details. But, while shifting ACA premium tax credits to health care accounts may help healthier people, it's likely to increase costs for people who are sick.
President Trump negotiated lower prices for some drugs on TrumpRx, but discounts only apply to cash paying patients not using their insurance. Many drugs already had big discounts through manufacturers or coupons, and some have generic equivalents that are already much cheaper.
How exactly would “the great health care plan” work? Would love to understand how giving money to directly enrollees bring down premiums?
Bloomberg terminal quote of the day…. #Orwell
On this day in 1954, children at Arsenal Elementary School in Pittsburgh received the first injections of Dr. Jonas Salk's polio vaccine. Dr. Salk displayed his confidence in the vaccine by using it on his family during the trial stage.

This is when a nor’easter doesn’t seem as bad as that getaway to sunny Mexico….
That’s the men’s. The women have a better track record…
The Canadians seem embarrassed to get their silver medals.
Jack Hughes kinda giving his eye-teeth for that 🥇. #worthit
Sublime history rhyme!!!🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
Yaaaasssss!!!!
Phew. Made it past those power plays. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a game where players lose their sticks like this…
I pressed FDA Commissioner Marty Makary about vaccines at @phrma.bsky.social Forum earlier this week. Seems the White House beat me to the punch, according to @politico.com.
GOOD NEWS: Danish study finds HRT does not increase risk of mortality and may even increase women’s chances of living longer.
Asking for a friend: Is there consensus on how long we can use HRT post-menopause? Can you use the patch indefinitely? Can you go back on it if you stop?
Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, the National Institutes of Health director, will lead the CDC until President Trump appoints a permanent director.
Was great to be invited to moderate a session with FDA Commissioner Marty Makary at yesterday’s @phrma.bsky.social Forum. And interesting developments this morning..:
I am so grateful I got a chance to meet Jesse Jackson. He was truly a legend who helped bring about great change. May he rest in peace, and may his memory be a blessing to his loved ones.
