The GLP-1 family of drugs is emerging to be potentially transformative for addiction medicine. This new @jclinicalinvest paper succinctly reviews the biology, epidemiology, randomized trials, and the gaps needed to fill in @Lorenzo__Leggio

Outstanding debate at sail.health about whether AI will cause deskilling in medicine and whether it matters. East-West-coast swords crossed and shots fired. And what should medical board certification mean in the AI era?

🧵1/ Our new study on AI and physician reasoning just came out in @ScienceMagazine. As co-senior author, I'm excited about our findings, and I do think AI will reshape medicine. But after seeing some of the discussions, I'm also worried about how our findings may be misinterpreted.

Meanwhile @MarshaBlackburn is predictably and pathetically blaming “DEI” for the Nashville ice storm power outage 🤡
She should be nowhere near the governor’s office

1/ I love reading the annual March MedPAC report to Congress on Medicare Payment Policy
such good, clear data and policy thinking.
kudos to @medicarepayment staff and chair @Michael_Chernew
I'll post some thoughts/highlights as I read through this morning

1. What you see here is clearest illustration why things are so messed up and why it cannot get any better until this asymmetry is addressed.
Put simply: right-wing has narrative dominance.
My org (@mmfa) did this study and been sounding this alarm for years. Some thoughts...

I went to the Senate floor to lay out for my colleagues the stunning story of brazen, open corruption during the first 6 weeks of the Trump presidency.
I think it's a story everyone needs to know.
1/ So a🧵with the highlights from the speech.

This is the most absurd and appalling document to issue from an official government body in the United States in modern American history.
We are losing our country. whitehouse.gov/presidential-…

What just happened in the oval office was a planned ambush, designed to help a brutal Russian dictator and hurt America's security.
Trump has become Putin's lapdog, and America's global power is hemorrhaging as America sides with dictators over democracy. What an embarrassment.
Blackford Middleton retweeted
I love my country with all my heart and I've never been more embarrassed for America than the spectacle I just witnessed in the Oval Office.
Zelensky is fighting for the survival of his country, his people and their democracy.
Trump and Vance appear to be completely aligned with Putin, the invader whose aim has been to conquer Ukraine.
Zelensky should know that millions and millions of Americans still stand with him and his valiant people.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.
If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

1/ After residency at Mass General Hospital, I reported to Atlanta to meet my fellow CDC Epidemic Intelligence Service Officers.
I have never felt so intimidated by my peers
The best and the brightest, they were star clinicians, had served in disaster zones; MD/PhDs and MSF.

All my life I have studied democratization and autocratization. My 1st field trip was to newly democratic Argentina. I then added autocracies to my portfolio: Cuba, Ven, etc. I think I can recognize the stages of transition to authoritarianism. Here are the boxes checked off.
