Dr. Judd Moul, a prostate cancer expert at Duke, says men whose prostate cancer has spread to their bones, “can live 5, 7, 10 or more years” with current treatments.

A man like Biden, in his 80s, “could hopefully pass away from natural causes & not from prostate cancer,” he says.

With the mainstream news attention that will be given to Biden's cancer diagnosis, I hope reporters also focus on the Trump Administration's aggressive cuts to our medical and health research that will inevitably lead to countless preventable deaths. It's happening right now.

“We must dissent because America can do better.” Good to hear Wisconsin Judge Susan Crawford quote Justice Thurgood Marshall in her victory speech tonight.

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent.

“It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up.

“A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.”

The Pentagon just booted CNN, WaPo, and NPR—replacing them with Newsmax, OANN, and The Daily Caller. This isn’t about “rotation,” it’s about control. When the government handpicks its media, it’s not journalism—it’s propaganda. Pay attention.

Measles is not mild. It puts kids in the PICU and NICU and if they survive, they make still lose hearing, experience brain damage, and have their immune system wiped out. That the mortality rate is so low is a tribute to our intensive care units, not a reflection of disease severity.

Happy MLK Day — “The time is always right, to do what is right.”

And with that in mind, you will find me doing anything but listening to a single moment of the inauguration.
