Exercise and remission from cancer: A randomized trial found 37% improved survival, 28% disease-free survival. But little is being done to incorporate in practice except @UPMC 1st health system covering "exercise oncology" program. gift link, by @AgrawalNina nytimes.com/2026/10/06/well/…

ALERTA INTERNACIONAL El régimen ha secuestrado en Barquisimeto al exalcalde de Torres, Javier Oropeza. Efectivos del SEBIN lo secuestraron arbitrariamente a plena luz del día. Javier regresó a Venezuela hace apenas dos días, tras dos años de duro exilio forzado por la persecución a la que fue sometido junto a su familia y su equipo de trabajo en 2024. Ésta es la naturaleza de este régimen. Por eso el país entero los detesta. Y por eso, los vamos a derrotar. Fuerza, Javier! Habrá justicia.
#URGENTE La persecución en Venezuela continúa, en manos de Delcy Rodríguez. Funcionarios de la División de Investigación Penal (DIP), cuerpo represor del régimen secuestra a Javier Oropeza, dirigente de Primero Justicia, saliendo del periódico El Informador en el estado Lara. Basta de perseguir y a quienes piensan distinto. Exigimos información de su paradero y su libertad inmediata.

🚨 BREAKING: In an incredible moment, newly-elected Sen. Dave McCormick (R) and Sen. John Fetterman (D) stood together in DC and SLAMMED the Schumer Shutdown FETTERMAN: "Even though we are in a different party. We both want to talk about why we believe it's so important to reopen this government." MCCORMICK: "23 days, 12 votes, Senator Fetterman and I have both voted to open up the government. We agree on that 100%. It's really starting to hurt Pennsylvania. And Pennsylvania's air traffic controllers, border patrol, and also 2 million recipients of SNAP." FETTERMAN: "We both vote to open up our government. We're in a different party. We're on the same team for Pennsylvania and our nation." This is the kind of thing you USED to see before the left turned to mainstreaming pain and violence. Keep it up!

I spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today and thanked him for his warm congratulations to the people of Venezuela on our 2025 Nobel Peace Prize. We Venezuelans deeply value peace, and we know that achieving it requires immense courage, strength, and moral clarity to stand against the totalitarian forces that oppose us. It’s no surprise that the Iranian regime—a key supporter of the Maduro regime in Venezuela—also backs terrorist organizations like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis. This alignment underscores the global nature of the struggle between freedom and authoritarianism. Just as we fight for freedom and democracy in Venezuela, all nations in the Middle East deserve a future built on dignity, justice, and hope—not fear. We hope that the full implementation of President Trump’s visionary plan will contribute to achieving a just and lasting peace in the region. Ultimately, peace requires freedom, and freedom demands courage and strength.
Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado called Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a short while ago.

Que por fin llegue la paz al Medio Oriente. La agenda de la paz la pone la autoridad, no los violentos. Cuando aquí se iba avanzando la vanidosa ambición del Nobel regresó el poder a los terroristas, que hoy controlan. Debemos imaginar y construir una nueva etapa de autoridad, que edifique seguridad y llegue a la paz.
