Trump's GENEROUS model pegs Medicaid drug prices to what other wealthy nations pay. That makes sense for the safety net. Anywhere else, it is a price control that would cost future cures, and the secret deals behind it undercut its own case.

On January 7, 2026, the U.S. Departments of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Agriculture (USDA) released the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2025–2030. Framed by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as a “historic reset,” the new guidelines promise to put “real food back at the center of health.” They arrive wrapped in the language of urgency. “chronic disease, national decline, and runaway health care costs” and naturally tethered to the Trump admin

On January 3rd in the early hours of the day, U.S. military forces entered Caracas and captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife in a coordinated overnight raid. By dawn, the head of a sovereign state was in American custody, en route to Brooklyn to face federal charges. Within days, Washington had endorsed a new interim Venezuelan government and taken control of tens of millions of barrels of Venezuelan oil. The Trump administration described the operation as

For the first time in nearly four decades, Coca-Cola is rolling out a version of its flagship soda in the United States made with real cane sugar instead of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS). Starting this fall, consumers in select U.S. markets will be able to buy 12-ounce glass bottles of Coca-Cola sweetened with domestically produced cane sugar—a formulation last used nationwide in the early 1980s. The announcement arrived with fanfare, political symbolism, and no shortage of

In the small town of Parasia, India, a father carried the lifeless body of his three-year-old child through the narrow streets, clutching a bottle of cough syrup that was supposed to bring relief. The label read Coldrif , a medicine sold over the counter to ease a child’s cough. Instead, it became a death sentence. This month, more than twenty children in India have died from consuming contaminated cough syrups laced with industrial chemicals. Their symptoms were consistent:

America is in the midst of a dangerous paradox. The country that enshrined free speech as its literal first and most sacred liberty is also the country where political violence and political censorship are becoming too alarmingly common. Two of the biggest events in the U.S.- the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk and the suspension of late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel- are perfect representations of this new issue that is plaguing the United States. They expo

On August 27, 2025, President Donald J. Trump shocked financial markets and legal scholars alike by firing Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. The move, unprecedented in American history, marks the first time a sitting Fed governor has been removed by a president. Trump justified his action by pointing to unresolved allegations of mortgage fraud from 2021, which are claims Cook has consistently denied. Within hours, Cook filed suit in federal court, arguing that her dismissal

On August 8, 2025, nearly 200 rounds of gunfire shattered windows and doors across the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) headquarters in suburban Atlanta right next to Emory University's main campus. The attack left Officer David Rose, a 33-year-old former Marine and father of three, dead. It also left behind a workforce of over 10,000 scientists and staff shocked and fearful as their vital workplace devolved into a crime scene. The assailant, 30 year-old Patri

On July 31, 2025, President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order to reinstate the Presidential Fitness Test in U.S. public schools and reestablish the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition. The test, a hallmark of American physical education from the late 1950s until its phase‑out in 2013, will now relaunch under the oversight of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK Jr.), as part of the administration’s “Make America Healthy Agai

When vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK Jr.) was made Secretary of Health and Human Services, Congress took his promises to respect scientific integrity within the existing vaccine infrastructure. Instead, in the span of just a few months, he has unleashed a concerted effort to destroy evidence-based vaccine policy in the United States. RFK Jr.’s attack on water fluoridation was the topic of my first blog post. I doubt this will be my last post about his tomfoolery.

Whether you're chasing heavier lifts in the gym, more focus in school, or just trying to keep your edge as you age, creatine monohydrate might be the simplest, safest, and most cost-effective tool you're not using.

For generations, the rhythm of American life has been a rhythm of work. From the truck stops ruled by truckers to the aisles of supermarkets, from young college alumni climbing the corporate ranks to doctors interpreting complex diagnoses — these are not just jobs about checks. They're about identity, potential, and the shared beat of a nation. But a new player has entered the picture: artificial intelligence. A product once the province of science fiction, AI has emerged rap

If you’ve ever watched videos online or read articles on eating healthier, you’ve probably heard something along the lines of “Cut out carbs.” From keto to Atkins to endless TikTok trends about optimizing health, carbohydrates are often painted as the villain of modern diets. But is the fear of carbs really justified? Carbohydrates are not the enemy. They’re an essential part of a healthy, balanced diet. The key is understanding what types of carbs you're eating and how they

A colonoscopy procedure done in 2008 Colorectal cancer is diagnosed in 153,000 people annually in the U.S. and is the second most common cause of cancer-related death. Historically, CRC incidence rose with age, peaking in those over 65, but over the past three decades, rates in adults under 50 have climbed dramatically, nearly doubling in some populations. In high-income countries like the United States, Australia, and the UK, incidence in younger adults rose while rates in o

A new study released by the CDC’s Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network gave information on the rate of children’s autism levels from research done in 2022. The report stated that the autism spectrum disorder (ASD) affected 32.2 per 1,000 eight‑year‑olds. This equates to approximately one in 31 children. This rate exhibited a 22.2% rise from the one‑in‑36 prevalence seen in a similar study done 2020. ASD remained about 3.4 times more common in boys t

In recent years, there have been increased concerns over the presence of “forever chemicals” in Americans’ tap water. These chemicals, formally called Perfluoroalkyl/polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), have become recognized as a major threat in tap water systems across the United States. Their now apparent presence in tap water, tied with evidence of these PFAS being tied to cancer, displays a concerning problem that could be one of the most prevalent public health challenge
