"President Donald Trump, who once declared he had 'saved' flavored vapes, grew his stock holdings this year to as much as $1.64 million in tobacco giant Philip Morris.
He also had holdings in Altria and a third leading tobacco company, though an apparent discrepancy in his disclosures clouds the extent of his investments."

The New Republic | Turns Out a Massive Bribe Was Behind the FDA’s Vaping Decision by Finn Hartnett
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
The page reports a series of recent controversies surrounding President Donald Trump, beginning with a new investigation that links a $5 million donation from Reynolds American to the FDA’s decision to ease flavored‑vape restrictions—a move critics say benefits the tobacco industry and undercuts youth‑vaping controls. It also details growing Republican backlash against Trump’s proposed “ballroom” at the White House and his $1.8 billion “slush fund,” with senators such as Bill Cassidy publicly questioning the project’s cost, transparency, and the legality of the fund. Additional coverage includes Trump’s inaccurate claims that artificial‑intelligence is creating jobs and that oil prices will fall despite rising gasoline costs, his executive order forcing banks to scrutinize customers’ immigration status, a federal judge’s order enforcing the Presidential Records Act against Trump’s attempts to destroy documents, and a U.S. indictment of former Cuban leader Raúl Castro for alleged 1996 crimes. Together, the articles portray a pattern of Trump‑driven policy shifts, alleged corruption, and mounting opposition from both Democrats and some GOP members.

…About 1 in 6 #US adults reported currently taking #SSRI #medications, which are widely available in generic form, acc/to a 2026 study in the medical journal BMJ #MentalHealth. The American Psychiatric Association considers #SSRIs a first option, evidence-based treatment for #depression.
The #FDA has authority over their use, & any new restrictions would require strong scientific evidence of a risk to patients that outweighs their benefits. Reviewing new evidence could take months or years….

…Experts in #pharmaceutical #regulation said the #FDA doesn't have the authority to unilaterally impose a #ban on #medications that have already received #US approval & have long been available without new evidence of a safety problem or finding that the original application seeking approval contained false statements. The FDA can ask a drugmaker to withdraw a #medicine, but the company can refuse.

Digital health founders are systematically optimistic about the FDA. Are you prepared for the reality? 📉
When a pitch deck claims a "6-month 510(k) pathway" or a "simple wellness classification," how do you independently verify it?

“A nation ignorant of the equal benefits of liberty and law, must be awed by the flashes of arbitrary power: the cruelty of a despot will assume the character of justice; his profusion, of liberality; his obstinacy, of firmness” — Edward Gibbon (who wrote ‘The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire’)

FDA declines to review Moderna application for new #mRNA flu #vaccine
“US regulators will not review #Moderna’s request to license a new, potentially more effective #Flu shot – even though the US Food and Drug Administration (#FDA) previously gave the green light to the project – in a decision that could have implications for all new and updated vaccines in the US.”

The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica built the Rx Inspector tool to show you.
Now a proposed bill would also require manufacturing location information on packaging for both generic and brand-name drugs.

Last month, we released Rx Inspector, a groundbreaking tool that lets you find the factories where your generic drugs were manufactured.

There is a reason we have the FDA and regulations. Safe Food!!!
I often wonder if my wheat issues are more related to pesticides. In particular ones banned by the EU. If the food is EU safe, I can eat it.
