Billionaire political spending was about $16 million in 2008. In 2026, it could reach $2–3 billion. Whatever your politics, that’s a staggering shift in who has the financial power to shape American elections.

AP: The Council of Europe said Tuesday that the US formally notified it a day earlier that it would leave the Group of States against Corruption, or GRECO. Only two other countries have left GRECO before — Russia and Belarus. This comes as a surprise to no one. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

Chemotherapy is usually standard treatment for cancers. But they are not necessarily tailored to each patient. Vaccines are a game changer b/c they can be applied to all cancers, since they involve genetic mutations. They harness the patient's own immune system. 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...
