The Food and Drug Administration rarely uses its authority to pull dangerous medical devices off the market
and is so poorly staffed that it’s sometimes unable to make sure companies are taking critical steps to protect patients during health emergencies,
according to a new report by the Government Accountability Office.
The inquiry by the congressional watchdog was requested nearly two years ago by top members of the Senate
in the wake of an investigation about the 2…

The FDA Rarely Forces Manufacturers to Recall Dangerous Medical Devices, Watchdog Report Finds
Lawmakers requested the report after a 2023 ProPublica and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette investigation revealed that the FDA had received hundreds of complaints over many years about defective breathing machines and never ordered a recall.

Claude 3.7 describes the image as: "The image shows a person in a white outfit seated at a desk or table in what appears to be a stylized, retro-futuristic set with a distinctive geometric wall pattern in the background. The setting features round globe lights mounted on a stand and a light-colored couch or seating area visible to the left. The person has short dark hair and is reaching toward what looks like office equipment on the desk, possibly a communication device. There's also what appe…

Alright, the internet is all too much right now. I'm gonna take a break for a bit and work on some projects. I have some organizing to do and some bugs to find.
The horrible things in the world don't change what we have to do. Our work is and has always been the same. They may make it easier to get other folks on board, they may make it more obvious that we were right all along, but they don't change our job.
We will do our work of building community, supporting each other, and creating the world we want to see. It will take as long as it takes to do. None of the news changes any of that. So I'm gonna take my break and hopefully come back after I've gotten some of that shit done.
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. Remember that when you start to feel guilty about taking a breath.

I saw snippets of this “interview,” how much more does it need to remove Trump from the office as he is clearly unfit? It's much more than “I don’t care.” He won’t face any consequences as he will most probably be declared not responsible for his actions due to his mental-medical status. I just hope someone took the red button away from him and they only let him play with golden Lego bricks all day long

Attached: 1 image The full CBS interview with Trump about the pardon of Binance's Changpeng Zhao is shocking. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/read-full-transcript-norah-odonnell-60-minutes-interview-with-president-trump/ "Why did you pardon him?" "I have no idea who he is. I was told that he was a victim ... They sent him to jail and they really set him up. That's my opinion. I was told about it." #crypto #cryptocurrency #USpolitics #USpol

Over nearly nine months,
the lawsuit challenging Trump’s attempt to slash foreign aid funding
has ricocheted around the federal judiciary
but still has not reached a final resolution.
It has been reviewed by 21 judges,
spawned thousands of pages of filings
and lumbered forward
even after the administration dissolved the U.S. Agency for International Development,
the government office responsible for disbursing much of the contested funding.

The Monthslong Legal Battle to Save Foreign Aid
One lawsuit, underway since February, has sought to compel President Trump to honor Congress’s vision for foreign aid. It still has a long way to go.

SINOFAR: Giroc, Giroc, I need you. You must come here to me now.
GIROC: All right, all right, I'm coming. [Giroc comes in. She is an elderly woman who clutches a six-foot staff of office, carved on it is a humanoid figure climbing toward the ball-shaped tip.] Have a little patience. We of all people should have learnt patience. I'm tired, I deserve some peace.

Claude Sonnet 3.7 describes the image as: "The image shows a close-up portrait with a dreamlike, ethereal quality. The subject appears to be in repose with closed eyes, giving the impression of sleep or perhaps a more symbolic state. The composition has a distinctive artistic style with a cool, blue-tinted color palette. Surrounding the central figure are green elements that resemble foliage or natural textures, along with hints of purple, creating a surreal, almost otherworldly atmosphere. Th…

Claude 3.7 describes the image as: "The image shows a person in a dark interior setting, wearing what appears to be a black outfit or uniform with a v-neck. The lighting is very dim, giving the scene a moody, dramatic atmosphere. The background reveals what looks like a corridor or room in what might be a spacecraft or facility, with light-colored walls visible. The aesthetic has that distinctive late 1970s/early 1980s British television production quality - somewhat grainy and darkly lit. Th…

Claude Sonnet 4.5 describes the image as: "This image appears to be from a television production, showing a scene in an office setting with vertical blinds on the windows.

The woman has short reddish-brown hair and is looking up at the standing figure with an atten…

Over the past five years,
as Trump’s most notorious acolyte in Congress,
#MTG had adopted his unrepentant pugilism as her own.

she told me in her Capitol Hill office one afternoon in early December.
