“at a cancer meeting in May, oncologists stood up & applauded — and, according to people in the room, some wept — when the clinical trial data was presented showing a doubling in survival times.”🧪🛟 www.nytimes.com/2026/08/26/s...
“The pancreas, a gland deep in the abdomen, helps regulate blood sugar and digestion. Pancreatic cancer kills more than 50,000 people in the United States a year. Only 3 percent of patients whose pancreatic cancer has spread to distant parts of their body live for five years after being diagnosed. The few available treatment options, typically grueling chemotherapy, do little to extend life. For years researchers had despaired of even finding a more effective treatment for this cancer.”

A 5-year-old Texan just spent the first day of school in an ICE detention center. ICE kidnapped Liam Tadeo on his way to a soccer game with his dad. Liam should be in kindergarten. Instead, our government has thrown him in a prison camp hundreds of miles from home.
