RFK Jr. says AI can offer patients “a second opinion that is much better informed than any doctor in the country” and has the power to “free us from medical tyranny.” He spoke at an industry-backed MAHA Summit, whose sponsors included AI companies. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/29/h...

Apparently Merck is no longer supplying Recarbrio. “In an unexpected move, Merck discontinued an important antibiotic from the U.S. market earlier this month, underscoring concerns about the commitment large pharmaceutical companies are willing to make to a field that is crucial to public health”

Per a memo from House Democrats' healthcare working group, their first recommendation if they gain back the House is to undo Medicaid cuts/work penalties and get ACA enhanced tax credits back. Title is frustrating bc wooing MAHA people doesn't come until section 7. www.politico.com/news/2026/09...

If they win in November, Democrats want to roll back Trump’s megabill, expand access to care, and win over the Make America Healthy Again movement.

i did a little Climate Week postmortem on data centers: co2 emissions are far & away the most alarming part of the buildout. but there hasn't been much of a reckoning beyond climate spaces kind of wondering when it'll enter the larger convo, if at all, and what that may look like

The Data Center Backlash Should Also Be a Climate Reckoning. It Isn’t Yet
Climate groups are latching onto the data center opposition movement, but it remains to be seen if they can get people to care about the facilities’ impact on the atmosphere.

I was explaining this at a political meeting last night. Stephen Miller has smartly decided to fly below the radar after the backlash to Minneapolis, Chicago, and other outrages. But by many measures things have gotten worse.
