HMM: Are GLP-1s the New Statins? “As their popularity grows, so does the number of health benefits that reach beyond the scale. The most consistent and robust findings seem to be for the heart. In fact, GLP-1s appear to have similar cardiovascular results to statins—a well-established cornerstone of cardiovascular care for decades. But there is one glaring difference: people actually want to take GLP-1s. Despite the expanded use of statins among younger folks, they have grown an unpopular reputation for their potential muscular side effects. Given that the most promising recent cholesterol drug didn’t actually work, is the next pivot toward GLP-1s? And will Ozempic and Mounjaro soon usurp the reign of statins as the go-to heart drug?”

As a wise woman once wrote, “Altruism declares that any action taken for the benefit of others is good, and any action taken for one’s own benefit is evil. Thus the beneficiary of an action is the only criterion of moral value—and so long as that beneficiary is anybody other than oneself, anything goes.”

MESSAGE SENT:

Tak wyglądało wczoraj wejście do budynku Parlamentu Europejskiego w Strasburgu. Grupa rekonstrukcyjna z Polski przypomniała o tym, że 12 września 1683 r. Jan III Sobieski uratował Wiedeń przed Turkami. Tu mój tekst w @euronews o tym: https://t.co/zsz0iIXzbv pic.twitter.com/oJTft2o6q0

Translation: “This is what the entrance to the European Parliament building in Strasbourg looked like yesterday. A reenactment group from Poland reminded us that on September 12, 1683, Jan III Sobieski saved Vienna from the Turks.”

YEAH, NO: Republican Rep. Massie moves to impeach Defense Secretary Hegseth over Iran war.

Congressman Massie, a long-time critic of the Trump administration, read the articles of impeachment aloud from the House floor just after the chamber convened at noon. Massie alleges that Hegseth has waged the Iran war illegally, among other “high crimes and misdemeanors.”

Massie alleges that Hegseth initiated the conflict unlawfully, defied Congress’ order to withdraw from the conflict and incurred unnecessary civilian casualties.

Massie has repeatedly clashed with members of his own party in recent years and is ending his time in office after losing his primary to an opponent backed by President Trump. Massie’s clashes with Trump extend beyond the war with Iran. Working alongside Democrat Ro Khanna of California, Massie led the successful effort to compel the Trump administration to release files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Republicans in theory have enough votes to defeat the proposal, though it could be a complicated vote for their members in competitive elections districts.

It’s weird how NPR’s Eric McDaniel put in that last point without ever mentioning that Massie just got primaried out by Republican voters fed up with his TDS.
