“Doctronic does not believe the prescription renewal bot qualifies as a medical device regulated by FDA because the practice of medicine is overseen by states. But nine policy and legal experts consulted by STAT disputed the certainty of that characterization.”

Today, Patrick Driessen (@pdriessentax.bsky.social) explains how Big Pharma uses the threat of relocation to secure outrageous tax breaks.

The result: Big Pharma booked $400 billion in U.S. drug sales in 2022, yet reported close to zero taxable income.

Turns out dealmaking doesn't deter Trump attacks on law firms after all. Friday, FTC sent warning letters to 42 firms (incl Paul Weiss) of potential antitrust liability for participating in a popular program (based on NFL's Rooney rule) that encourages consideration of diverse candidates in hiring.

Our Patient Navigators across the nation meet on Monday for training and learning better ways to support patients, but they're only really focused on one thing...getting money back into households 📝🕵️‍♀️
an uncomfortable reality: functional democracy needs shared social virtues. once scoundrels take the tiller and theres no enforceable punishment mechanisms, the entire institutional project tips over like a house of cards. you can redesign institutions, but purging depravity from public service? oof

I long for the day when our child prisons are measles free.
Excited to announce the publication of my new book – Chinese Global Environmentalism – later this month!

The environment was once one of China's greatest weaknesses. It is now becoming a pillar of China’s global power.

I genuinely have no idea how to convey this to the American people, but I think the biggest impediment to any kind of immigration reform is that people are convinced that "legal" and "illegal" are immutable, intrinsic categories instead of a rapidly-shifting arbitrary constellation of regulations.

The last twenty years, damn near everything bad politically across the western world had been planned by evil child rapists. Im actually unsettled, these people need to be buried, now.

Yeah this made me go back to my Foucault where he says the Nazi State is one where “we have an absolutely racist state, an absolutely murderous state, and an absolutely suicidal state…The three were necessarily superimposed.”

The issue isn't whether "Melania" is a good movie or a bad one. It's that one of the richest men in America, with business interests affected by public policy, gave the President's family $75 million to make it. Like that's somehow legal.

This judge says:
- refugees must be released in the next 5 days
- Returned to Minnesota. Not released onto the streets of Texas, which is what's been happening.
- ICE must alert the refugees' lawyers so they aren't released into dangerous cold without someone to meet them
REAKING: A federal judge in Minnesota has barred the Trump administration from arresting / detaining the state's 5,600 refugees while they await lawful permanent resident status. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
"ICE is not a law unto itself," Judge Schiltz says, scolding it for violating 96 court orders. "ICE has every right to challenge the orders of this Court, but, like any litigant, ICE must follow those orders unless and until they are overturned or vacated." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

"Every social theory undergirding Trumpism has been broken on the steel of Minnesotan resolve...The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In MN, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once."

Lest you think your individual senator voted no and is therefore fine, every single one of them fast tracked her nomination by unanimous consent.

They got tired from having to work a Friday with Hegseth's nomination so they quickly wrapped hers up.
we are witnessing historic backpedaling here
