Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman told Trump Saudi Arabia is willing to expand its US trade and investments by $600 billion over 4 years, the state-run news agency. said. That's 55% of the country's GDP. Guess opportunities for ROI are better in the US. https://t.co/lXVDZuIymC

I didn't realize there were naming rights for bodies of water.

A hot take on a polar plunge (my start to 2025). https://t.co/vQQ33BVMoo

This is dark: One week after the murder of UnitedHealth executive Brian Thompson, Americans were able to bet on the fate of his alleged killer. Some people, including financial regulators, may have a problem with that https://t.co/manOVt5ABf via @markets

Sunscreen. Dry shampoo. Acne medicine: so many items to make us healthier, happier, smell better, live longer. But some contain compounds that are unequivocally harmful. Gift link to help navigate the hidden minefield in American drugstores. @annaedney https://t.co/JLE3KnHJbS

Lilly’s weight-loss shot Zepbound won approval in the US as the first drug to treat sleep apnea. Don't worry, those attractive masks are still in: combination therapy works best. Hopefully snoring is out https://t.co/3EfM9HgpcQ via @business

Such an important story from @livcarville about the dangers of fentanyl, and how its intersection with kids and overdoses and Snapchat may change the internet as we know it. Gift link here gives you seven days to read it https://t.co/HM8ibIkNJk

More lamentations around the loss of Twitter and drug development peeps. This time: Novo. What's with highlighting the per protocol over the intent-to-treat results? And the spin. I mean, it must work, otherwise companies wouldn't do it. But I certainly don't get it.

I am so damn sad that X isn't what Twitter used to be. Where am I supposed to go to laugh with "friends" at how Vertex handled its pain drug trial results? Can someone please tell me how one controls for the placebo effect (like, isn't the placebo supposed to be the control?).

The first sign something was amiss at UnitedHealth's investor day was when Brian Thompson didn’t show up to a hair & makeup appointment. The attack has since spiraled into a crisis for the co with 440k employees and a $500 billion market cap https://t.co/937nOOQo6K via @business

Tensions between the US and China are high. That's not stopping cross collaboration in the pharmaceutical industry, where dealmaking is a rare bright spot. We'll see if Trump - or the Biosecure bill - changes that https://t.co/cXJvst0L7F via @business

You realize the scope of Bloomberg when you read a story like this, less than 24 hours after the shocking news. Bribery charges against Gautam Adani send his empire into a tailspin, but the indictment will be felt globally https://t.co/RFC9AIGHbp via @business
