Ensure that all patients with cancer receive the best care to avoid CV toxicities of cancer therapies. Too many patients survive cancer only to succumb to CV disease. Broader adoption of best practices we believe will improve outcomes

The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens.

Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important".

Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary.

In today’s episode of What Are They Thinking: “If you don’t see a hurricane coming… does it really exist?”

🚨 The Dept of Defense is shutting down its weather satellite program. No more data. No more updates. Meteorologists are scrambling—and we’re heading into peak storm season.

Brilliant timing.

🚨The GOP provision to DEFUND Planned Parenthood is staying in the Big Ugly bill. Clinics will shutter. Women will lose access to cancer screenings, birth control, and basic care.

I will be forcing a vote to try to strip it out.

Fight like hell. We need to kill this bill.

Many others are posting abt this too but this graphic viscerally shows how dire the presidential budget is for NASA 🔭🧪and worldwide astronomy. I can’t express how sad this makes me, as an American scientist. And it’s mostly already paid for projects, so also no logic in terms of saving money.

@cliffordhudis.bsky.social at #ASCO25: ~40% cut to NCI budget in Admin's '26 proposal. We are in a tragic paradox: remarkable science & historic cuts to resources needed to turn these opps into hope for millions of pts. Our advocacy, is more important than ever ➡️ brnw.ch/21wT3U4

CDC Data Are Disappearing The agency has already removed scientific data from public view. More could follow.

This is how autocrats throughout history have endangered the people they govern by erasing factual information vital to health and well being

Great article. I try and get the patient to own it. They need to know their uric acid target, they need to adjust their (usually) allopurinol in 100 mg increments. Give them the tools!!!

A NASA photo of NGC 2264- a cosmic tree that has been named the Christmas Tree Cluster which lives in our galaxy about 2,500 light-years from Earth. It contains baby stars that are between 1 and 5 million years old 🥺
