Why did strong financial regulations result from the 1930s while the 2007-08 crisis produced weaker ones? I wrote about the underlying reason for this disparity for @The_OAH @thejamhistory

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. may be a controversial figure but his @Newsweek piece on #glyphosate—and the industry's current attempt to use the US Congress to undercut court decisions and prevent state and local efforts to regulate toxic pesticides—is spot on. newsweek.com/weeds-raises-al…

Statins, Muscle Weakness, and Signs of Gut Permeability and Inflammation
A recent study in the Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology explored the physical performance and various biomarkers in 172 patients diagnosed with chronic heart failure.
Patients taking statins experienced a significant increase in CAF22 (a marker of muscle wasting and sarcopenia), zonulin (a marker of intestinal barrier integrity), and C-reactive protein (a marker of inflammation).
Statin patients also demonstrated reduced hand-grip and gait speed compared to those not taking statins.
"...statin therapy adversely affects the neuromuscular junction and intestinal barrier, which potentially induces systemic inflammation and physical disability in patients..."

President Biden justified his open borders policy as a humanitarian response to the appalling media revelations that the Trump-era Border Patrol had 2,600 “children in cages.” Today there are 12,000 children in cages + 85,000 children have disappeared.

This is your periodic reminder that @SenSchumer has one daughter at Meta and another at Amazon. He has unfailingly supported Big Tech, preventing all potential regulatory bills from getting a floor vote.

Today #NorthCarolina became the first state to change its Residential 1-2 Family Code to the 1-4 Family Code, a reform that opens up:
- lower cost triplexes & quads
- more viable missing middle housing
- more flexible alignment with zoning
It’s potentially revolutionary for affordability. And no one is talking about it.

EPA set to approve chlormaquat chloride on grains. This chemical was prohibited by the very same EPA in 1962 for use on anything but ornamental plants in greenhouses. That was before the agency was captured by industry.

We don’t have free market capitalism in this country. What we have is socialism for the super rich, and brutal capitalism for the poor. Thanks @seanhannity and @FoxNews for the great discussion.
