Story at-a-glance The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allows U.S. food companies to use nearly 1,000 chemicals banned in Europe, many of which are linked to DNA damage, hormone disruption, or cancer Thanks to a legal loophole called “Generally Recognized as Safe” or GRAS, manufacturers are allowed to self-declare additives as safe without FDA approval, review, or even disclosure on the label Hidden additives are often disguised as “natural flavors” or “spices,” masking substances you'd never knowingly eat but are consuming regularly Ultraprocessed foods make up 73% of the U.S. food supply, designed with chemicals that increase cravings, damage gut health, and disrupt brain signaling Even after hospitalizations and deaths linked to hidden ingredients, the FDA rarely takes meaningful action — leaving your health in the hands of corporations
Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken discuss the biggest news stories in the medical world, starting with a focus on healthy hearts and the use of fish oil, the difference between taking a fish oil supplement and getting fish oil naturally from oily fish, strokes and medical emergencies typical of older adults are at an increase in ages 18-34, and the continued rise of the obesity epidemic. Up next, news of the FDA warning against over-the-counter (OTC) diagnostic tests for COVID-19 as the ones made from CUE Health are at an increased-risk of false results, drugs that reduce the risk of pancreatitis, how weight loss drugs help to curb sugar cravings, dangers of tattoos and an increased risk of developing lymphoma, and a non-invasive test for oral cancer. Lastly, Doug and Dr. Ken address listener questions, including thoughts on whether or not to stay on weight loss drugs after you've lost the weight, what Walgreen's OTC generic version of Narcan is and why it's important, and the importance of knowing how to perform CPR.

This week on High Society Radio, Chris Faga and Chris Stanley are joined by the hosts of GaS Digital Now — Natty Ice and Gay Blind Mike — for an episode that's one part UK slander, one part public bathroom horror, and about ten parts hentai.There's chip buttys in the building, a train-pants-shitting confession, and an all-out debate on whether liking Nirvana makes you gay. Also, Mike might be afraid of pegging, and Nat might be holding that against him forever.
Concrete shifts in U.S. health policy are taking shape as the FDA announces significant changes to its stance on COVID-19 vaccines, moving away from a one-size-fits-all approach. In addition, the agency is committing to an evidence-based overhaul of the long-criticized FDA food pyramid and is now setting its sights on legislative action targeting harmful weedkillers in the nation's agricultural supply.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-highwire-with-del-bigtree--3620606/support.
Marty Makary and Vinay Prasad claim they're going to open the "black box" at the FDA, an agency they're now both employed at. So they started a podcast. It's not the first official FDA podcast, but it certainly fits into the contrarian ethos both men have cultivated since 2020. Derek and Julian listen in to see how much of that box is actually being opened. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this Medtech Matters podcast episode of Mike on Medtech with Mike Drues, president of Vascular Sciences, we're continuing our conversation on off-label communication. In this part, we're examining the downside or negative aspects of this practice. We cover potential concerns and scenarios to avoid. Specifically, the following questions are addressed:Mike, maybe you can kick things off with a very quick overview of what we previously covered in the first part of the conversation.Now getting into that downside I mentioned in my opening, what are the disadvantages of off-label communication? In other words, what's potentially wrong with allowing manufacturers to advertise uncleared or unapproved product claims?Why are some (including some within the industry) opposed to giving manufacturers permission to advertise off-label claims?Do you have any examples you can share?Is it possible to find an appropriate balance between what claims should be vetted through the FDA and those that don't need to be?What happens when a company makes unsupported, deceptive, or completely false claims about a product?In your professional opinion, should we allow a company to advertise unapproved claims that haven't gone through a formal review process? Is it a good thing or a bad thing?What else is important?What are the most important takeaways?Listen to this discussion after you've heard Part 1 and see what you think of off-label communication and the guidance. If you'd like to share thoughts, ask questions, or have a suggestion for a future topic for us to cover, please reach out to me at sfenske@rodmanmedia.com, and we'll see if we want to address your ideas/inquiries/suggestions in a future episode.Send us a textFor more medtech news and information, visit https://www.mpomag.com.
In this Medtech Matters podcast episode of Mike on Medtech with Mike Drues, president of Vascular Sciences, we're speaking about off-label communication. More specifically, we're reviewing a recent guidance from the FDA that offers insights on how off-label communication can be performed in accordance to the regulation. We get a definition of the topic as well as examples of successful off-label communication efforts. During the discussion, the following questions are addressed:Can you first please provide an explanation of what “off-label” is in terms of the FDA?Before getting into the details of this “new” guidance, what is the difference between Off-Label Use vs. Off-Label Communication?What's new in this “final” guidance?What is meant by firm-initiated communication containing scientific information on unapproved uses?If you communicate with an organization about unapproved (or off-label) uses, what will happen?If you send such a communication, are you acknowledging the off-label use and then need to submit it to FDA for a label expansion?Does FDA need to know about the communication?What else is important?What are the most important takeaways?Listen to this discussion and see if you can benefit from off-label communication. Then check out part 2 of this discussion.

In May 2024, the FDA approved vaginal self-collection for HPV as a cervical cancer screening tool. This was limited to health care settings. While this self collection option can help address some of the emotional deterrents to a speculum examination, it fails to overcome the remaining substantial clinic access barriers cited among those who are underscreened, including time off work, arrangement of child or elder care, and transportation. Then, the FDA approved the first at-home cervical cancer screening test on May 9, 2025. This test, called the Teal Wand (FDA-approved prescription device), allows individuals to self-collect vaginal samples at home to test for Human Papillomavirus (HPV). But is at-home testing valid? Does this work? A new publication in JAMA Network Open (May 19, 2025) answers this important question. Listen in for details.
Five months after the wildfires, Palisades and Altadena realtors describe parcels and lots on the market now and their prices. Plus, what are residents’ concerns and challenges about rebuilding?

The FDA also plans to limit eligibility for this fall’s updated vaccine to people only over age 65, or who have certain medical conditions. Critics review the latest film releases: “Karate Kid: Legends,” “The Phoenician Scheme,” “Bring Her Back,” and “Mountainhead.” June is the ninth anniversary of Smorgasburg. Every Sunday, a parking lot off Central Avenue hosts food vendors offering jerk BBQ, Thai street food, vegan tacos, and other specialties.

In Episode 30 of Altered State, hosts Zak “RedPill78” Paine and Brad Zerbo light up a high-energy conversation covering everything from cannabis regulation to border chaos and Big Tech overreach. Kicking off with a look at the FDA's war on natural medicine and psychedelic therapy, they draw connections between pharmaceutical monopolies and the suppression of holistic healing. The conversation shifts to Elon Musk's plans to integrate Starlink with Trump's Truth Social, which they see as a major step toward decentralizing information, and possibly a communications lifeline in the event of a digital blackout. The hosts also tackle America's increasingly unstable border situation, noting the strange silence around potential bio-weapon infiltration and the bizarre secrecy surrounding migrant processing centers. They pull no punches on Trump's stance on tariffs, economic sovereignty, and the weaponization of government against political dissidents. With plenty of tangents, sharp insights, and a dash of classic RedPill78 sass, this episode blends health freedom, tech warfare, and the deep state's ongoing deception into one spicy joint of truth. Whether you're in it for the weed policy or the world-stage geopolitics, Episode 30 delivers a hit of reality you won't soon forget.

These include, for example, orders that terminate federal diversity, equity, and inclusion programs; rescind executive orders that expanded access to reproductive health care; ban transgender people from serving in the military; limit coverage for gender-affirming care; and require federal agencies to recognize only two, “not changeable” sexes. The DOJ has announced that, outside of extraordinary circumstances, it will stop enforcing the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, a law that protects reproductive clinic staff from violence and harassment. HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has directed the FDA to review its approval of the medication abortion pill Mifepristone. We've also seen major funding cuts across several agencies. HHS, for example, has terminated NIH grants focused on LGBTQ+ health issues and frozen millions of dollars of Title X funds, which help provide reproductive health services in low-income communities. Litigation Many nonprofits, as well as state attorneys general, have filed lawsuits challenging the executive orders that seek to curtail LGBTQ+ rights and DEI initiatives. In February, for example, a group of several civil rights nonprofits, along with Crowell & Moring LLP, filed a lawsuit on behalf of Chicago Women in Trades to challenge the Trump administration's anti-DEI executive orders. As a result, a federal court has temporarily blocked the Labor Department from requiring Chicago Women in Trades and other federal contracts or grant recipients to certify that they don't operate any programs that violate Federal anti-discrimination laws, which one of these EOs would require. Many other provisions of these EOs, however, remain in effect as the cases make their way through the courts. The National Council of Nonprofits has a continuously updated chart tracking executive orders that impact nonprofits and their current legal status. Just Security has an even broader resource that is tracking all legal challenges to Trump administration actions. Legislation Congress is currently considering deep cuts to Medicaid. These proposed cuts would lead to an estimated 8 million Americans becoming uninsured, and would eliminate all federal funding to Planned Parenthood, including funding for preventative health screenings and testing. Proposed budget cuts would also further restrict transgender peoples' access to gender-affirming care. In Missouri, the state legislature recently approved a new ballot referendum that, if passed, would repeal last year's voter-approved constitutional amendment guaranteeing a right to abortion. This ballet referendum will appear on the ballot in November of 2026 or earlier if Missouri's governor calls a special election. What can 501(c)(3)s do to respond? As a reminder, 501(c)(3)s cannot support or oppose candidates for elective public office. This means they can't engage in activity that helps or hurts the chances of a candidate winning an election. But here's what they can do: They can engage in an unlimited amount of non-lobbying advocacy, and they can engage in a limited amount of lobbying. Non-Lobbying Advocacy Educate the public about issues of importance to your organization The Center for Reproductive Rights' tool, Repro Red Flags: Agency Watch, which tracks key Trump administration appointments and actions related to reproductive health. PFLAG is tracking and reporting on federal and state legislation and litigation impacting the LGBTQ+ community through its weekly Policy Matters Newsletter and Executive Orders Explainers and Resources web page. The National Women's Law Center has released a report highlighting how the cuts would impact women and LGBTQ+ individuals. Engage in administrative advocacy A March letter sent by Equal Rights Advocates and several other civil rights organizations to Acting EEOC Chair Andrea Lucas urges her to immediately withdraw a series of letters and guidance documents pressuring employers to abandon DEI programs. Hold a rally In April, the Coalition for Inclusive Schools & Communities, Live in Your Truth, and the Montgomery County Pride Family held a rally in support of inclusive education outside the U.S. Supreme Court during oral arguments in Mahmoud v. Taylor. Initiate or participate in litigation In May, a Michigan state court permanently struck down three of Michigan's abortion restrictions, agreeing with Northland Family Planning Centers and Medical Students for Choice—two nonprofits plaintiffs represented by the Center for Reproductive Rights—that the restrictions violate the state's constitutional amendment. Fund advocacy Public and private foundations can fund advocacy through general operating grants or specific project grants. Lobbying 501(c)(3) public charities can engage in lobbying, but they are limited in how much lobbying they may engage in. Under the federal tax rules, most public charities can choose between two tests to determine how much lobbying they can engage in: the insubstantial part test or the 501(h) expenditure test. Under either test, lobbying includes attempts to influence legislation at any level of government. The exact activities that will count as lobbying will depend on which test the organization uses. When engaging in lobbying, remember to track and report your lobbying on your annual Form 990, stay within your lobbying limits, and use unrestricted funds. In addition to the tax rules, federal, state, or local level lobbyist registration and reporting requirements may apply when engaging in legislative and executive branch advocacy. These requirements vary by state and city, so make sure to confirm the types of activities and thresholds that trigger reporting in the jurisdictions where you are lobbying. The IRS considers ballot measure advocacy a form of direct lobbying because the voters act as legislators when they vote to approve or reject a ballot measure, but keep in mind that your organization may also be required to register and report on ballot measure activity under state or local campaign finance laws. Since 2022, 501(c)(3) public charities have helped to pass ballot measures that establish a right to abortion in eleven states.

This week's episode covers the effectiveness of a fixed-dose albuterol-budesonide combination for asthma, new findings on Nerodomelast for progressive pulmonary fibrosis, the FDA's endorsement of a new COVID-19 vaccine targeting the JN.1 lineage, and insights into extended-phase anticoagulation for pediatric venous thromboembolism.
In December 2017, the FDA approved a new injectable drug to treat type 2 diabetes called semaglutide, which you likely know by its brand name: Ozempic. A few years later, during the pandemic, Wegovy, a drug with a higher dose of the same active ingredient, was approved specifically for chronic weight management. Soon after, people taking Ozempic started reporting a dramatic, even “life-changing” weight loss. Ozempic is now a bona fide blockbuster. So what's the science behind these “wonder drugs” that apparently 1 in 10 of us could end up using? They have the potential to have so many positive effects on our lives, from treating Alzheimer's disease and addiction to changing our relationship with consumption but, like with most things, they also come with risks.Send us your science facts, news, or other stories for a chance to be featured on an upcoming Tiny Show and Tell Us bonus episode.

In this episode, we sit down with Cindy Eckert — the trailblazing founder behind Addyi, the first FDA-approved pill for women's low sexual desire. Cindy shares the raw, behind-the-scenes story of what it took to bring female sexual wellness to the forefront of medicine and culture. From navigating regulatory roadblocks to challenging deep-rooted stigmas, she opens up about the fight to get women's desire taken seriously. We dive into the gender gap in healthcare, why sex is still a taboo topic for women, and how Addyi became more than just a pill — it became a movement. Stay tuned to learn more! ADDYI is for premenopausal women with acquired, generalized hypoactive (low) sexual desire disorder who have not had problems with low sexual desire in the past, and who have low sexual desire no matter the type of sexual activity, the situation or the sexual partner. The low sexual desire is troubling to them and is not due to a medical or mental health problem, problems in the relationship or medicine or other drug use. ADDYI is not for use in men or to enhance sexual performance. Your risk of severe low blood pressure and fainting is increased if you drink 1-2 standard alcoholic drinks close in time to your ADDYI dose. Wait at least 2 hours after drinking before taking ADDYI at bedtime. Your risk of severe low blood pressure and fainting is also increased if you take certain prescription, over the counter or herbal medications, or have liver problems. Low blood pressure and fainting can happen when you take ADDYI even if you don't drink alcohol or take other medicines. Do not take if you are allergic to any of the ingredients in ADDYI. Allergic reactions may include hives, itching or trouble breathing. Sleepiness, sometimes serious, can occur. Common side effects include dizziness, nausea, tiredness, difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep and dry mouth.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy has long been a pusher of junk science, especially when it comes to research around vaccines and autism. So it should come as no surprise that he appears open to revisiting the decades-old FDA approval of the abortion drug mifepristone, at least in part based on a report from a conservative think tank that was neither peer-reviewed, nor published in a medical journal. What the report in question conveniently contradicts more than 100 peer-reviewed studies that show mifepristone is safe to use and effective. Jessica Valenti, author of book ‘Abortion: Our Bodies, Their Lives, And The Truths We Use To Win,' joins us to talk about the state of reproductive rights in the U.S. with President Donald Trump is back in power.And in headlines: Trump again walked back his threats for steep tariffs on the European Union, Russia unleashed another massive drone and missile attack on Ukraine, and Republican Senators throw cold water on the House version of Trump's spending and tax plan — a.k.a. the Big Beautiful Bill.Show Notes:Check out Jessica's book –https://tinyurl.com/2zs7jfszSubscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

This week on CodeWACK! Medicare for All is back in the spotlight! With two new bills recently introduced in Congress, what makes these proposals different from earlier versions— and why are some advocates feeling hopeful, even in the current political climate? What would a truly public, universal health care system look like, and how could it help curb the soaring costs, corporate greed, and bureaucracy plaguing our current system? To unpack this, we spoke with Rachel Madley, Director of Policy and Advocacy at the Center for Health and Democracy. A former health policy advisor to Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal — lead sponsor of the House Medicare for All bill — Rachel helped shape and reintroduce the landmark legislation in 2023. She's also a former FDA staffer and holds a PhD in Microbiology and Immunology from Columbia University, where she was active in both Physicians for a National Health Program and Students for a National Health Program.

In this episode of The Psychedelic Podcast, Paul F. Austin welcomes Bryan Hubbard, a prominent advocate for psychedelic-assisted therapies, particularly ibogaine in the treatment of opioid addiction and mental health disorders. Find full show notes and links here: https://thethirdwave.co/podcast/episode-305/?ref=278 Update (May 2025): Days before this episode's release, the Texas House approved a Senate-backed bill to fund ibogaine research through a public-private partnership aimed at securing FDA approval. This vote marks a major milestone in the movement Bryan describes throughout this conversation. Bryan shares his journey from leading Kentucky's Opioid Abatement Advisory Commission to spearheading breakthrough ibogaine research initiatives in Texas. He articulates ibogaine's unique neurological properties, discussing how it can reset brain neurochemistry in 36 hours and potentially treat conditions from traumatic brain injury to Parkinson's disease. The conversation explores the spiritual dimensions of ibogaine experiences, the political landscape surrounding psychedelic medicine, and Bryan's ongoing efforts to medicalize ibogaine through FDA drug development trials, highlighting Texas as the next frontier for this life-saving research. W. Bryan Hubbard is the Executive Director of the American Ibogaine Initiative. He is the first and former Chairman and Executive Director of the Kentucky Opioid Abatement Advisory Commission. He concurrently served as Special Counsel to the Kentucky Attorney General's Office of Medicaid Fraud and Abuse Control and was its prior Executive Director. He served on the Kentucky Judicial Commission on Mental Health, the Kentucky Child Support Guidelines Commission, Mine Safety Review Board, and the Kentucky Office of Drug Control Policy's Recovery Ready Communities Advisory Council. He previously served as Commissioner of the Kentucky Department of Income Support wherein he led the Commonwealth's Social Security Disability and Child Support Enforcement systems. He practiced workers' compensation law representing Walmart, Tyson Foods, and Tennessee Valley Authority for sixteen years. During his practice years, he observed the predacious onset of Kentucky's Opioid Epidemic amid generational joblessness, poverty, disability, and substance use. He was raised in Virginia's coalfields and is the proud grandson of two grade-school educated coal miners on whose shoulders he stands. Highlights: Why ibogaine interrupts addiction instantly The Stanford study that changed everything Resetting brain neurochemistry in 36 hours From Parkinson's to PTSD: Ibogaine's broad applications The spiritual awakening dimension of treatment How pharmaceutical interests block breakthrough medicine Kentucky's lost opportunity: $42 million for research Texas as the new frontier for ibogaine medicalization Matrix pharmacology: Ibogaine's intelligent mechanism The political war over life-saving psychedelic medicine Episode Links Website American Ibogaine Initiative Instagram: @w_bryan_hubbard X (Formerly Twitter): @w_bryan_hubbard Linkedin Episode Sponsors: Golden Rule Mushrooms - Get a lifetime discount of 10% with code THIRDWAVE at checkout

The Courage of a Mother, with Cindy ParseghianCindy Parseghian is actively shaping the future. In 1994, she and her husband Mike founded a foundation dedicated to finding a cure for Niemann-Pick disease type C (NP-C), a genetic, cholesterol storage disorder that claimed the lives of three of their four children. The foundation joined forces with the University of Notre Dame in 2015, and together they fight daily to end this devastating disease. The Parseghian family was blessed with four children: Ara, Michael, Marcia, and Christa. Sadly, only the eldest, Ara, tested negative for the genetic disease. The diagnosis and subsequent loss of her three children brought Cindy indescribable pain, challenged her faith, and altered her life's trajectory. Just two months after receiving the diagnosis, Cindy established the Ara Parseghian Medical Research Foundation. Since then, millions of dollars have been raised each year, fueling significant progress towards eradicating a disease that can affect the brain, nerves, liver, spleen, bone marrow and sometimes the lungs. Symptoms can hit children in a variety of debilitating ways, including losing the ability to walk, vision, hearing and speech loss, and repeated infections. Far too many young lives have ended too soon.But story is evolving. The foundation's work is now funding revolutionary research and providing hope to future parents who may face similar challenges. Recently, the FDA approved two therapies for NP-C patients which sometimes can take place over 5 -10 years as part of the drug trials. These children/patients are able to maintain their quality of life and appear to be living longer. In addition, more young adults are being diagnosed in their early 20s usually after experiencing some form of psychosis (they have a different genetic mutation that is associated with a late on-set form of NP-C.) All of these factors are adding up to a longer life span for NP-C patients and better news for families.Cindy's response to her tragedy is profoundly inspiring. She found purpose and strength amid intense grief and launched a foundation with a dedicated mission to help others, while always keeping her children's memories close to her heart. As you will hear in this warm and enlightening podcast conversation with Bill, Cindy expresses immense gratitude for everyone who has contributed to the cause and become part of the team to end NP-C. We encourage you to learn more about the foundation, the benefits of the research, and consider making a tax-deductible contribution.

Today, I am thrilled to connect with Charles Piller, an award-winning investigative journalist for Science magazine whose work has also appeared in The Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, The Sacramento Bee, and other major publications. Charles is the author of Doctored, and he has been honored with several national journalism awards. In our fascinating conversation, we dive into the trajectory of Alzheimer's from its early framing as a diagnosis to its modern-day research landscape. We explore the concept of publish or perish within academic research, and we examine the dominant amyloid hypothesis, the forces shaping scientific narratives, and the role of institutions like the FDA, NIH, and research publishing in influencing research priorities. Charles shares his insights on the impact of falsified data and the broader implications for scientific integrity of the doctored images published in Nature in 2006. We also tackle the importance of lifestyle and risk factor modification in preventing neurocognitive decline. You will not want to miss this compelling conversation with Charles Piller. His book is a gripping must-read on the fraud, arrogance, and tragedy in the quest to cure Alzheimer's. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How Alzheimer's impacts our society and affects the caregivers of those with Alzheimer's Charles gives a historical overview of Alzheimer's Some typical symptoms of Alzheimer's How the amyloid cascade hypothesis led to the development of drugs that removed amyloid from the brain but failed to halt or reverse dementia How doctored images can support experimental hypotheses and influence research Charles highlights the need for more accountability within the scientific field. How pressure to publish and perverse incentives have influenced Alzheimer's research Why ethical concerns matter when developing potentially hazardous drugs with limited benefits Charles shares the potential benefits of GLP-1s for cognitive decline. Why a multi-factorial approach to understanding and treating Alzheimer's is essential Charles highlights the importance of self-criticism and humility within the scientific community.

Hi friends, happy Wednesday! As a country, America has always had a complicated relationship with dairy. One month we hate it, the next month, some weird cottage cheese recipe goes viral, and we're all over it again. But here's something I thought was a little strange. You never hear about dairy farmers or the dairy industry going bankrupt. It made me wonder why. Turns out… the dairy industry is in bed with the government. Why? Because the government desperately needs them not to fail. And that's just the tip of the string cheese. We've been brainwashed into thinking we *need* dairy from the time we were kids. And there's a wild reason for that. It involves Marie Antoinette, cheese caves, and… Dominoes? Guys… this is a wild one. And I'm not going to lie… you might think twice before ordering your next Taco Bell burrito. Welcome to the Dark History of Big Dairy! I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History. I sometimes talk about my Good Reads in the show. So here's the link if you want to check it out.

As Congressional Republicans try to pass President Donald Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' through the House and Senate, Medicaid is one of the big programs in the party's legislative crosshairs. GOP lawmakers are eyeing upwards of $800 billion in cuts to the safety net health care program over the next decade, in part by imposing new work and eligibility requirements for recipients. But while the president keeps insisting 'no cuts to Medicaid,' the government's calculations suggest the party's plan could cost 10 million Americans their health care coverage. Matt Bruenig, founder of the People's Policy Project, explains why work requirements don't work.And in headlines: Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem got her constitutional rights all mixed up during a Senate hearing, Trump's FDA looks to limit access to Covid booster shots, and New Jersey U.S. Congresswoman LaMonica McIver is charged with assault.Show Notes:Check out Matt's column –www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/opinion/medicaid-work-requirements-pointless.htmlSubscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday
