Today, we honor the men and women who have served and sacrificed in defense of our country. Their courage, commitment, and dedication deserve far more than a single day of recognition, but it is a meaningful reminder to reflect and express our gratitude. Thank you to all who have served.

Thanks to @PharmExec for the chance to discuss the major U.S. policy changes our industry is facing, and the growing role of states in driving them. We cover state policymaking's expanding influence on drug pricing, PBM reform, and translating policy wins into lower out-of-pocket costs for patients. Take a listen. pharmexec.com/view/states-ta…

Two weeks removed from PhRMA's 2026 State Advocacy National Meeting, I'm still reflecting on the thoughtful discussions and perspectives shared by speakers and attendees alike in Charlotte. The issues are complex, but our focus is simple: patients are counting on us to get it right. Proud to work alongside such a talented team.

Thank you, @NC_Governor, for spending time with us at our National Meeting in Charlotte. Your keynote set a strong tone for the event, and our attendees greatly appreciated hearing your perspective firsthand. We were honored to host you and are grateful for your leadership and commitment to ensuring North Carolina remains a national leader in innovation and one of the country's premier hubs for the life sciences and biopharmaceutical industries.
North Carolina has built one of the nation’s strongest life sciences industries, creating good jobs and driving innovation across our state. But as the industry grows, we also have to make sure people can afford the health care and medication they need. It was great to share this message with @PhRMA in Charlotte. I look forward to continuing to grow our life sciences economy, lower health care costs, and expand access to care.

Big hospitals, clinics and their for-profit partners captured $142B in profits from 340B medicine markups in 2025 alone. The rapid growth of the program, now with patients and payers spending $244B in one year alone, is driving up costs for patients, taxpayers and employers. A safety net program should help low-income and uninsured patients access to affordable medicines, not boost the bottom lines of big hospital systems. Congress must reform 340B.

Eric is well respected among policy leaders in Washington and around the world, with a long track record of working effectively across the political spectrum in support of biomedical research and patients’ access to medicines. He joins PhRMA at a pivotal moment for America’s biopharmaceutical industry. Read more: phrma.org/resources/phrma-se…

I was glad of the opportunity to spend some time with our summer intern cohort at @PhRMA last month. Internships played an important role in shaping my career, so I’m always glad to pay it forward. We had a talented group this year, like every year, and I wish them all the best as they begin their next chapter.

The biopharmaceutical industry is making huge investments in U.S. manufacturing, creating 100,000+ jobs. Through dedicated workforce pipelines, companies and educational institutions are supporting supply chain resilience and regional economic growth that benefits us all.

Great trip last week to Portland, Seattle, and Olympia to spend time with members of our team on the ground. Appreciated the time spent together and grateful to be working on a team full of thoughtful and dedicated professionals.

Quorum Health, a private-equity backed hospital chain, announced they're converting to nonprofit. A top reason? $11 million a year in projected 340B “value.” This is what the 340B program has become: a business growth strategy for private equity. It’s time for lawmakers to ask whether 340B is still serving vulnerable patients, or just hospital bottom lines. Read our blog: phrma.org/blog/private-equit…

Love the love for Titi
West 50th Street and 6th Avenue in Manhattan has been renamed to honour Thierry Henry. It’s not exactly the most creative spin, with the New York street simply rebranded as “Thierry Henry Way” for the duration of the World Cup. Due to his punditry, the former New York Red Bulls star was unable to be there in person, but made a rather bizarre speech appearance on FaceTime to express his gratitude. 🔗 nyti.ms/4oqausn

Big progress vs cancer, folks. The kind of event curves from randomized trials that we've not seen before for a couple of the most deadly cancers. Congrats to the oncology research community for getting these trial done. #ASCO26, @ASCO
