Nursing homes falsely label patients schizophrenic to sedate them, OIG says False diagnoses are used to mask inappropriate use of antipsychotic drugs on patients with dementia, a practice called chemical restraint, a government watchdog report said.

U.S. nursing homes are fabricating schizophrenia diagnoses to hide their use of dangerous antipsychotic drugs to subdue dementia patients, a government watchdog report found.

The drugs increase risk of falls, strokes and death.

Bottom line is the house of lords is an anachronism and made worse by cronyism

Get rid and write a constitution....

The EU will soon begin fully enforcing its long-delayed Entry/Exit system meaning digital border checks for Brits traveling post-Brexit.

“The purpose behind the release of herbicide on the villages remains unclear.”

Israel has been dumping herbicides throughout southern Lebanon as part of a concerted ecocide campaign to render the region uninhabitable. This has been going on for months with Lebanese journalists & environmentalists regularly reporting on it.

Sometimes, as patients near the end of life, eliciting and fulfilling a simple wish can lead to acceptance and a peaceful death — a lesson absorbed by a physician during a week of ice cream.

Farage: epic grifter

The Tory media's shift from hysterically claiming that Starmer *did* intervene in the China spy case to hysterically claiming that Starmer *should* have intervened in the China spy case is a thing to behold.

It costs ~$70 to produce a year’s supply of insulin.

Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $18,000 in 2025. A 25,714% markup. That isn’t inflation or supply chain—It’s corporate greed.

Now—California will sell insulin for $11. Make this nationwide!

Because Tylenol is one of the most studied medications in history. The facts remain unchanged: over a decade of rigorous research, endorsed by leading medical professionals, confirm there is no credible evidence linking acetaminophen to autism. Acetaminophen is used worldwide as a first line of defense for pain relief and fever reduction, at the recommendation of independent public health and leading medical professionals and in accordance with the product label. High fevers and pain are widely recognized as potential risks to a pregnancy if left untreated, especially in the first trimester. Remember to talk to your doctor. We prioritize science as the core of how we provide care, and that will never change.

Lib Dems: We have 12x Reform's MPs, can we have the same coverage?

BBC: But Reform has 2x your poll rating. If there were an election tomorrow, they'd be running the country.

Lib Dems: So you're putting their people and policies under scrutiny, right?

BBC:

Lib Dems: Right?

In a moment like this, when tensions are high, part of the job of the president is to remind us of the ties that bind us together.

Hi, immunologist here:

(a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes)

RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation”

That’s NOT how immunology works.

He is an anti-science profiteer.
Start calling him such.

Acyn @Acyn X.com RFK JR: I'm looking at kids as I walk through the airports today...and I see these kids that are just overburdened with mitochondrial challenges, inflammation-you can tell from their faces, movements, and lack of social connection TEXAS "MAKE AMERICA HEALTHY AGAIN" LEGISLATION ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR. Health & Human Services Secretary 0:12 From CSPAN C-SPANG* 15:04 • 8/27/25

wtf is this nonsense? He thinks he can understand kid’s “mitochondrial challenges” just by looking at them?

This is an insane person.

Every American should read this ACLU lawsuit about what is happening in Los Angeles and California. It is the stuff of dystopian nightmares. This is not immigration enforcement. It is positively stuffed with videos and articles documenting racial profiling on a scale unseen since Jim Crow.

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

A question every reporter should be asking Trump and Republicans:

If Trump doesn't trust his own Director of National Intelligence, and by extension, US intelligence, then which country's intelligence is he relying upon?

Juneteenth is the perfect moment to remind everyone of two facts:

1. Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
2. Those who prevent history from being taught are plotting to repeat it.

Read this out loud. Read it again. Then teach it to your kids.

In November 2024 Wes Streeting announced that he was planning to introduce league tables for hospitals.

More than 1 in 5 women experi2nfe a perinatal mental health problem. 70% hide or underplay their illness. Suicide is the leading cause of death within a year of having a baby.

Powerful slide to open the second session of day 2 at #OAA25ASM.

Mental illness is the leading cause of mortality in the first year after giving birth.

Stigma prevents attendance, because people don't access services that make them feel ashamed. This undoubtedly contributes to suicide.

Please no....look at the consequences...for example insulins....
