In this week’s edition of InnovationRx, we look at we look at Reed Jobs’ cancer-focused VC fund, Midi Health’s latest fundraise at $1 billion-plus valuation, and more.
My God... All levels of political professionalism has been abandoned by Trump. Everyone standing by him, ought to be ashamed of themselves.
"But what about China?" has been a throwaway comment made many times to justify inaction on climate change or criticise decarbonisation policies.
Well China is now by far the world's largest manufacturer, installer, and user of clean energy technologies.

How Federal Cuts to SNAP Are Already Roiling State Governments
The challenge of shouldering more of the burden of administrative and program costs is falling on state lawmakers, who now face difficult decisions on what to fund.
Kaitlan Collins: “Tulsi Gabbard’s hunt for the president's long sought but never found evidence of widespread voter fraud now extends beyond the state of Georgia—
When it comes to who exactly asked Gabbard to be there, the level of finger pointing has almost taken on a SpideMan meme-like quality”
This is where we're at in American society today. And its 100% the truth, Republicans are predators.

Trump will forever be envious of the Obamas. They never had a marital scandal. They’re both highly intelligent. Graduated from reputable universities. Produced graceful children. Legally won the Nobel Peace Prize.
And, more importantly, will never be an intricate part of the Trump files.

He is a total piece of shit now, always has been. Trump is so blatantly racist, I never understood how anyone who is not a privileged white could endorse him. I use privlage literally here because he hates low income, no matter the color.
#TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #Enough #ResistMarco Rubio ... who'd of guessed?
American racism ...
#cdnpoliHonestly if the White House press corps had any guts they’d print that out and hold it up to propaganda Barbie tomorrow and go “WTF??” and then walk out.
Sure, that’s not gonna happen, but I’m a dreamer that way.
This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no ‘misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.

Russia committed a terrorist campaign targetting polls in swing states on election day 2024 after committing illegal acts of war in previous elections. ICE terrorists will no doubt be swarming polls during the coming midterms.

Let's keep fighting corporate greed.
