The Secret Gamble at the #FDA That Exposed Americans to Risky Drugs — ProPublica
▻https://www.propublica.org/article/fda-drug-loophole-sun-pharma
Reporting Highlights
Risky Medications: The FDA has given more than 20 foreign factories a special pass to continue sending drugs to the U.S. even though they were made at plants that the agency had banned.
Troubled Factories: The medications came mostly from plants in India where inspectors found contaminated drugs, filthy labs and falsified records.
FDA Secrecy: The agency did not proactively inform the public when drugs were exempted from import bans, and it did not routinely test the medications to ensure they were safe.

Mondoweiss: URGENT THREAD: Chaos from the U.S.-Israeli Aid Scheme in Gaza
▻https://x.com/Mondoweiss/status/1927412688000307545
Israel has been starving Palestinians for months, cutting off all aid to Gaza since March. Now, thousands of desperate civilians swarmed the U.S.-led, militarized aid site run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) in Rafah. As security contractors lost control, Israeli forces reportedly opened fire on the crowd as people scrambled for whatever aid they could find.
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation was created to bypass existing aid infrastructures run by the UN and other international agencies in coordination with Palestinian-led local groups. From the start, humanitarian experts and aid workers warned the U.S.-Israeli plan would fail, and would result in humiliating and dangerous conditions for people already starving due to the Israeli-engineered famine. Instead of supporting the existing system, Israel and the U.S. undermined it and replaced it with a privatized, militarized operation. Now that system is unraveling in plain sight.
Former UNRWA spokesperson Chris Gunness said the disastrous plan was imposed without community input or planning, “Armchair humanitarianism at its worst.” Al Jazeera’s reporter on the ground described the contents of the aid boxes: 8 lbs of flour, a few cans of beans, dry pasta, and some tea bags. No meat. No dairy. Nowhere near enough nutrition. This is what Palestinians now risk their lives to receive.
Israel and the U.S. dismantled a functioning aid system by defunding, banning, and attacking UNRWA. In its place, they installed a network of checkpoints and foreign mercenaries, not to deliver aid, but to further establish control over Palestinians’ movement and pave the way for pushing them out of Gaza.

Trump Pardoned Tax Cheat After Mother Attended $1 Million Dinner - The New York Times
▻https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/us/politics/trump-pardon-paul-walczak-tax-crimes.htm
As Paul Walczak awaited sentencing early this year, his best hope for avoiding prison time rested with the newly inaugurated president.
Mr. Walczak, a former nursing home executive who had pleaded guilty to tax crimes days after the 2024 election, submitted a pardon application to President Trump around Inauguration Day. The application focused not solely on Mr. Walczak’s offenses but also on the political activity of his mother, Elizabeth Fago.
Ms. Fago had raised millions of dollars for Mr. Trump’s campaigns and those of other Republicans, the application said. It also highlighted her connections to an effort to sabotage Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s 2020 campaign by publicizing the addiction diary of his daughter Ashley Biden — an episode that drew law enforcement scrutiny.
Mr. Walczak’s pardon application argued that his criminal prosecution was motivated more by his mother’s efforts for Mr. Trump than by his admitted use of money earmarked for employees’ taxes to fund an extravagant lifestyle.
Still, weeks went by and no pardon was forthcoming, even as Mr. Trump issued clemency grants to hundreds of other allies.
Then, Ms. Fago was invited to a $1-million-per-person fund-raising dinner last month that promised face-to-face access to Mr. Trump at his private Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Fla.
Less than three weeks after she attended the dinner, Mr. Trump signed a full and unconditional pardon.

Origin and #inspiration: Dechen was inspired to write the article after a personal realization on a plane. She sent apologetic messages to the host, acknowledging past power dynamics in their #friendship and work, having gained new empathy after stepping into more #authority herself. The article flowed from this specific insight, which then "fractaled out" to broader experiences. Key Concepts Discussed:
"Source": They use this term (from Tom Nixon’s "Work with #source";) to describe the person with creative authority in a project. This concept helps clarify power dynamics. Nature of their Collaborative Work: Their collaborations are often driven by art, soul vows, and a desire for #intimacy, truth, and beauty, rather than money. This deep personal investment (...)

The U.S. Economy Is Racing Ahead. Almost Everything Else Is Falling Behind. - The New York Times
▻https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/04/briefing/the-us-economy-is-racing-ahead-almost-everything-else-is-falling-behind.htm
A politically diverse group of scholars — who together have advised every president since Bill Clinton and who work at many of the country’s top think tanks — released a report card yesterday on American well-being. The scholars spent months debating which metrics best captured the state of the nation and ultimately agreed on 37. They then tracked those measures since the 1990s and compared the United States with dozens of other countries on economic performance, physical health, mental health, social trust and more.
The group’s central finding is the one you can see in the charts above: The U.S. economy has outperformed most of its rivals in terms of productive might and innovation. But this success has not led to rapidly rising living standards for most Americans.
“We’re so wealthy but so unhappy,” said Bradley Birzer, a historian at Hillsdale College, a Christian school in Michigan. “It seems like the central question of modernity.” Heidi Shierholz, president of the Economic Policy Institute, a left-leaning think tank in Washington, put it this way: “We are the richest country in the world, but we chronically fail to offer broad-based economic prosperity and security.”
Economic growth in the U.S. has been remarkable, at least compared with growth in other high-income countries. In 1990, per capita gross domestic product in the U.S. — the total value of the country’s output, divided by the number of residents — was only 28 percent higher than in the euro area. The gap is now more than 80 percent.
Yet comparisons in most other realms make the U.S. look much worse.
This country has the lowest life expectancy of any rich country, which was not true for most of the 20th century. The U.S. has the highest murder rate of any rich country and the world’s highest rate of fatal drug overdoses. It also has one of the lowest rates of trust in the federal government and among the highest rates of youth depression and single-parent families. When Americans are asked how satisfied they are with their own lives, the U.S. ranks lower than it did three decades ago.
The committee that released the report did not offer detailed explanations for these trends, nor did it suggest policy solutions. The group was too diverse to agree on many of those questions. But The New York Times invited all 14 members of the group to offer their own explanations, and five themes emerged.

U.S. Military Service Is Strongest Predictor of Carrying Out Extremist Violence
▻https://theintercept.com/2025/01/02/military-veterans-extremism-attack-new-orleans-vegas
From 1990 to 2010, about seven persons per year with U.S. military backgrounds committed extremist crimes. Since 2011, that number has jumped to almost 45 per year, according to data from a new, unreleased report shared with The Intercept by Michael Jensen, the research director at the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism, or START, at the University of Maryland.
Military service is also the single strongest individual predictor of becoming a “mass casualty offender,” far outpacing mental health issues, according to a separate study of extremist mass casualty violence by the researchers.

[…] those groups preyed on the populace with such cruelty that they turned a one-time stronghold of the United States into a bastion of the insurgency. People came to see the militias, and by extensions the Americans, as a source of torment, not salvation.
