"In Trump’s case, there is little relief in the fact that he himself is checked out and prefers to spend his dotage garishly remaking the White House and accepting gifts that are transparently bribes. That’s because, while Trump may be inactive, his minions certainly aren’t. He’s surrounded himself with a crew of extremists, notably Stephen Miller, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Pete Hegseth, and Marco Rubio."

"It’s bedtime for Bozo—and you’re paying the price. …
Even the mainstream media, which has been negligently reluctant to raise questions about Trump’s physical and mental well-being, has started to take note."

"When Trump starts crashing out, When he starts getting mad, you know where he's going to go. He goes racist and he goes misogynist. Now, to set up this next clip that I'm going to play for you of Trump crashing out, because he's starting to feel the limits of his bucket list adventure that he's having."

Robert Reich's doctor tells him that, at nearly 80 years of age, he should be relaxing more. He replies,
“'I’m sorry that I’m not going to take your advice,' I told her.
'Why not?' she asked, impatiently.
'Because Donald Trump is 10 days older than I am,' I almost shouted. 'And if he can cause this much mayhem every day, for this country and the world, the least I can do is cause a bit of good trouble for him.'”

"Trump appears to be dazed and confused about the substantive aspects of the presidency, and has been for every day of his two terms. At this point, Trump’s only interest in the presidency is continuing the grift that is making his family obscenely wealthy by monetizing US relationships, prestige, and resources."

"On Wednesday, the US seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela. When asked why the US seized the ship, Trump claimed there was 'a very good reason,' but did not appear to know what that reason was. When asked what would happen to the oil on the tanker, Trump replied, 'We keep it, I guess.'”

"At a time when Trump is pushing the country toward criminal wars of aggression and global pariah status abroad while simultaneously immiserating Americans at home with senseless and self-destructive economic policies, it’s fair to wonder whether he’s of sound mind and body. There’s undeniable evidence that something is wrong. And if it wasn’t a big deal, you’d think the White House would come forward with an explanation more plausible than what they’ve offered so far."
"The Epstein files and illegal boat strikes aren’t the only coverups taking place right now in the White House. There’s also something clearly wrong with the president’s health that the administration is trying to conceal from the public."

“The health you enjoy or don’t enjoy today is a function of your environment in the past,” says Ray Dorsey, a physician and professor of neurology at the University of Rochester. Your “environment” could be the refinery a town over, the lead in the paint of your mother’s home, the plastic sheath of the Hot Pocket you microwaved in 1996. It is air pollution and PFAS and pesticides and so much more.

After a century of putting genetics on a pedestal, the geneticists have some surprising news for us: The vast majority of chronic disease isn’t caused by our genes. “The Human Genome Project was a $3 billion investment, and what did we find out?” says Thomas Hartung, a toxicologist at Johns Hopkins. “Five percent of all disease is purely genetic. Less than 40 percent of diseases even have a genetic component.”
"Why are people in #Albany ... so sick when its most powerful institution is a #hospital?
It didn’t surprise me to learn that ... some blamed #Phoebe for mishandling their loved ones’ cases...
What I didn’t expect was how fearful people were to criticize Phoebe on the record and how powerless they were to hold the hospital to account. The same was true of many of the current and former employees of the hospital."

"The #UnitedStates is blessed with one of the most scientifically and technologically advanced #health care systems in the world...
But for all the money flowing in and out, #Americans have more chronic illnesses and shorter lifespans than people in other wealthy nations. When it comes to health outcomes among those countries, the United States ranks last."
