The Trump administration’s 2025 spending bill makes cuts to Medicaid for US citizens and US hospitals. Some hospitals, especially ones in Republican districts, may have to decrease the medical services they provide to US citizens or they may have to close altogether because of these cuts. 🇺🇸 Instead of cutting Medicaid for US citizens to save money, it would be better for Americans if Congress cut defense spending instead of increasing defense spending which is what they are currently planning to do. Contact your Republican and Democrat members of Congress at 202-224-3121 to voice your concerns, more than 80% are up for reelection next year and should hear from concerned American citizens. 🇺🇸

This is interesting because generally a politician won’t unexpectedly go viral on centralized social media without right wing extremist billionaires paying bot farms to manipulate the algorithms, which looking at the bots’ comments on Instagram that’s what it looks like happened, at least on Instagram. It’s interesting to consider why right wing extremist billionaires might do this, it seems based on the bots’ comments this was done to try and increase polarization among Americans. That’s not to say Mamdani couldn’t have won the NYC mayoral primary without going viral on centralized social media, he may have won because of his in person campaigning. 🇺🇸 It’s also interesting to consider if the NYC mayoral election results in November will impact Democrats’ chances of winning the majority in the 2026 House and Senate elections. 🇺🇸 Generally Americans outside of New York aren’t that interested in the NYC mayoral election but looking at the bot farms commenting about this election on conservative sites & accounts, the bots are certainly trying to convince Republican voters across the country the NYC primary election is a sign that the Democrat Party is leaning into communism, which is wrong as this is only one local election. This seems to be an attempt to distract Republican voters from some of the Trump Administration’s recent unpopular decisions. 🇺🇸 https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/25/politics/zohran-mamdani-viral-videos

Since the Trump administration took office the stock market has basically been stagnating, but inflation continues to be around 2.4% so essentially if you had your money invested in the US stock market, you are net negative since the Trump Administration started because the US stock market has not kept up with the cost coming from US inflation because of the Trump Administration’s economic policies (Nasdaq +0.74%, Dow Jones +0.14%, S&P 500 +1.71%). 🇺🇸 The 2025 spending bill currently being debated in Congress will increase inflation further over the next few years in addition to escalating prices from tariffs which are raising prices in many categories.🇺🇸 Contact your Republican and Democrat members of Congress at 202-224-3121 to voice your concerns, more than 80% are up for reelection next year and should hear from concerned American citizens. 🇺🇸 https://www.investing.com/news/economy-news/feds-barkin-says-tariffs-will-push-inflation-higher-4112723

AI software systems are now at a point where they can give preliminary reads on echocardiograms to make reading echocardiograms faster and more efficient for cardiologists. Study: Complete AI-Enabled Echocardiography Interpretation With Multitask Deep Learning. ln this study, an AI system that automatically interprets echocardiograms maintained high accuracy from complete and limited studies with multitask deep learning. This study included 1.2 million echocardiographic videos from 32265 TTE studies of 24405 patients across YNHHS hospitals and clinics. The AI system performed 18 diagnostic classification tasks with a median (IQR) AUC of 0.91 (0.88-0.93) and estimated 21 echocardiographic parameters with a median (IQR) normalized mean absolute error of 0.13 (0.10-0.18) in internal validation. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2835630
