In the age of AI, more and more MDs are beginning to accept and appreciate patient questions. Alas others see themselves as omniscient purveyors of truth not to be challenged. If your doctor is the latter, get a new one.

Bravo, .@mirandadevine, great reporting!
Good to see some accountability for the lies and deception by agents in the FBI.
The great .@mirandadevine named Nikki Floris, back in 2025, for her part in the FBI’s 2020 election interference efforts, by covering up the Hunter Biden laptop …she gave a phony “defensive” to Senators Ron Johnson and Chuck Grassley

Two former senior FBI officials, Nikki Cole Floris and Bradley Benavides, were taken into custody today on charges of allegedly lying to Congress about their involvement in the FBI’s investigations into Hunter Biden.
The charges stem from an ongoing investigation into the since-dissolved FBI Foreign Influence Task Force.
Floris led the FITF as a Deputy Assistant Director from mid-2019 through mid-2022. Benavides was the FITF Section Chief from mid-2019 through the 2020 election. Both testified that the FITF was not involved in the Hunter Biden investigations. Documentary evidence, contemporaneous communications, and witness accounts contradict their testimony.
Floris is also on record privately claiming to be “running a shadow government” during the 2020 election in her role on the FITF.
Lying to Congress by senior FBI officials strikes at the heart of our system. No one is above the law.
The FBI has already dismantled the corrupt CR-15 squad that engaged in political weaponization targeting their opponents, including President Trump.
Thanks to @TheJusticeDept @FBIKansasCity and @USAttyPirro.

Accountability is now finally beginning. First Ms Somalia & now two FBI officials who lied under oath. Don’t forget the Obama DOJ was weaponized to take out a presidential candidate - let’s go there next. What else was Hillary Clinton doing besides paying people, including foreign intel agents to fake a conspiracy? And what else did she do for foreign governments in exchange for money flowing into her foundation? Who else at the FBI was complicit? And what about the CIA?

🚨ALERT: A high-level Democrat whistleblower just blew the lid off what could be one of the biggest political scandals in U.S history! Adam Schiff personally authorized and directed his team to leak classified intelligence to hurt Trump during the height of the Russiagate frenzy.

🚨 BREAKING: THE SUPREME COURT JUST DROPPED A BOMBSHELL 🚨
6-3 EMERGENCY RULING — Trump admin can NOW use the modified SAVE database to VERIFY citizenship and HUNT noncitizens hiding on voter rolls! 🗳️🇺🇸🔥
They tried to STOP it. Lower court BLOCKED it. Then Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson + Sotomayor + Kagan DISSENTED HARD — claiming it might “wrongly flag” lawful voters and “burden” naturalized citizens. 😱
Really?? With elections weeks away they care more about potential data errors than STOPPING illegal votes??
This isn’t about “equity.”
This is about WHETHER AMERICAN ELECTIONS BELONG TO AMERICAN CITIZENS.
The Court said the government has a DUTY to help states clean the rolls. Midterms are coming. They wanted delay. SCOTUS said NO.
Integrity just scored a massive win. ⚖️💥
The dissenters are on the record. History will remember who fought to keep the rolls dirty.

The idea that heart disease is simply a cholesterol problem has never fit the data well. In a registry of more than 136,000 hospitalizations for coronary disease, nearly half of patients had an LDL under 100 mg/dL on admission. This new NIH work points to the artery wall and the immune cells inside it, and that's where insulin matters, because chronically high insulin and glucose damage the vessel lining and drive inflammation. LDL is one number, but a person's insulin is the one I'd want to know first.
TLDR: Cholesterol was never the story, and NIH just put it in writing.
Their new paper in Cell says controlling blood fats has minimally "reduced but not eliminated" heart disease. Mice missing one immune gene, GIMAP6, developed severe artery plaque, heart attacks and early death with normal blood lipids. In humans, damaging versions of the gene were tied to premature heart disease.
The authors also point out that about half of serious heart disease events happen in people without high cholesterol.
Plaque is a glycocalyx, vessel wall and inflammation problem; strongly linked to hyperinsulinemia and hyperglycemia. Your LDL/Apo B number alone doesn't tell you what's going on inside your arteries.

This is incredibly EMBARRASSING … for Thomas Dayspring @Drlipid
Setting aside his repeated mischaracterizations of lean mass hyper-responders, his consistent refusal to engage substantively with the topic, and his assertions that lack supporting evidence (such as the claim that ketosis reduces LDL receptor expression) he seems completely unaware of a fundamental fact:
(1) We, the authors, requested the retraction ourselves, AND this was
(2) Due to many issue with the Cleerly AI analysis and their refusal to perform a fully blinded Quality Control check on their dataset after many issues came to light (post April 7). To be ‘Cleer,’ the reason for our request to retract was clarified to JACC Advances (and Retraction Watch), and there has been NO OBJECTION to that being the SOLE cited reason we provided for retraction.
I would be more than happy to have a conversation with @Drlipid and walk him through the facts.
But this kind of flag-waving rhetoric, delivered with a obvious and persistent ignorance of the critical circumstances surrounding the retraction, only serves to illustrate how poorly informed even prominent voices in cardiology and lipidology can be about developments in this field.
TL;DR: If you want evidence of the profound dogmatism that’s corroding public trust in “the experts” this is an excellent example.
— With all respect due —
Regarding Our Request to Retract the Cleerly Analysis
I’ve recently discussed the news that we’ve had multiple participants from the KETO-CTA study independently resubmit their heart scans (CTA) to Cleerly. (See below)
The results showed notable differences from the original Cleerly analysis. That said, these individual submissions were broadly consistent with the other independent analyses within our study.
Moreover, after publication of the paper, we learned the data provided to Cleerly was not fully blinded. Despite our repeated requests (including offers to cover costs), Cleerly declined to perform a fully blinded re-analysis.
It’s worth emphasizing, as with any other longitudinal study, it has always been the expectation of the research team that all analyses would be fully blinded – this isn’t just standard, it’s vital for the integrity of the study itself.
Given we could no longer stand behind the Cleerly-specific portion of the April 7th paper, we formally asked JACC Advances to withdraw this paper, citing this Cleerly dataset and our concerns regarding its validity.
On January 12, 2026, the journal confirmed a full retraction. We expect its official posting on this soon.
Our primary paper—which includes the HeartFlow and pre-specified QAngio analyses—is currently in peer review. Importantly, the two principal findings reported in the original paper— (1) baseline plaque strongly predicts future plaque progression, and (2) ApoB was not associated with plaque progression—were independently reproduced in both the HeartFlow and QAngio analyses.
We're excited to share these updated, blinded analyses in the peer-reviewed process soon. You can find the preprint linked below.
And once again, thanks to everyone for all your support.

New court documents unsealed reveal Ilhan Omar has been living under a fraudulent identity...her real name is Ilhan Nur Said Elmi.
This could mean every single government document she has ever filled out has been fraudulent. Her whole time in America she has been trying to cover up who she is.
Also interesting to note that her brother’s name is Ahmed Nur Said Elmi.
Her father was a high-ranking lieutenant in Somalia who fled war crimes. Her sister knows who Ilhan really is.
Did her own family turn on her?

🚨BREAKING: New York Police Officer Quathisha Epps made over 400,000 dollars last year with a base salary of 204,000 and another 204,000 in overtime.
She claimed to have worked over 1,600 hours of overtime and is now under internal affairs investigation for allegedly falsifying overtime hours, including self-approving her own time slips.
Despite the probe, she was allowed to retire early and is now receiving roughly 16,000 dollars per month from taxpayers in her pension.
