I've been a cardiologist for 25+ years. The last 90 days changed medicine more than the last decade, and almost nobody noticed. Here are the 10 biggest AI breakthroughs, and why you should be excited, not afraid 🧵 1/ 37,000 AI agents. One "virtual biotech." It analyzed thousands of trials, figured out which drug targets actually work in humans, and independently proposed a lung cancer strategy that a major pharma company later pursued. AI isn't a search engine anymore. It's a co-scientist. 2/ The first drug discovered AND designed entirely by AI (Insilico's rentosertib) just entered Phase 3. In patients, it reversed biological age by 3–6 years across six different aging clocks. Read that again! 3/ As a cardiologist, this one gives me chills. The FDA authorized "Queen of Hearts," an AI that reads a standard ECG and catches heart attacks, including the hidden ones doctors miss. 2x the sensitivity. Far fewer false alarms. It pages the cardiology team itself. In a heart attack, minutes are muscle. 4/ EchoNext spots 6 types of hidden structural heart disease from a cheap, 10-second ECG, and it does it better than cardiologists. It already flagged a patient who went on to get a heart transplant. Screening that used to need an echo lab now needs a test any clinic can run. 5/ UpDoc is the first FDA-cleared AI that talks directly to patients. It checks in between visits, adjusts insulin within limits the doctor sets, and documents everything in the chart. Chronic disease no longer has to wait for your next appointment. 6/ An autonomous AI agent called MIRA, with full access to medical records, went head-to-head with ER physicians on hundreds of real cases. AI: 87.8% correct Doctors: 78.1% It ordered the tests, read the results, and wrote the plan. 7/ Google released MedGemma 1.5 and MedASR, open medical AI for imaging and clinical speech that anyone can build on. Every hospital. Every researcher. Every country. Open models mean medicine moves at internet speed. 8/ The FDA authorized Aletta, the first robot that draws blood on its own. It gets the vein on the first stick 94–95% of the time, even hard veins. One technician supervises three robots. The most common procedure in medicine just got automated. 9/ UCLA's SLIViT matches specialists on 3D MRI, CT, ultrasound, and retinal scans, and it's 5,000x faster. It isn't a new model for every organ. One architecture reads them all. 10/ The FDA has now authorized 1,600+ AI medical devices. They cover radiology, cardiology, and surgery, including real-time AI that checks breast cancer margins while the patient is still on the table. This isn't coming. It's here. What this means to you: → Drugs that took 10–15 years are showing human results in a fraction of the time → Heart attacks get caught on a cheap ECG, not after a collapse → Doctors get hours back → Patients get answers between visits → Aging itself is becoming treatable This isn't "AI will replace your doctor." It's AI finally becoming good enough that medicine starts to compound. The next 18 months will feel different. Bookmark this. We're early. Stay positive!!!

JUST IN: US Navy Sikorsky MH-60R Seahawk helicopter has been tracked operating directly over the Arabian Sea, hundreds of kilometres from any known US blockade line, per flightradar24 data. It’s coming amid reports the US Navy has reportedly withdrawn its warships from the blockade line around Iran over the threat posed by anti-ship ballistic missiles.
BREAKING: The US Navy has completely withdrawn its warships from the blockade line around Iran after Iran’s first operational use of the advanced Qasem Basir “carrier killer” anti-ship ballistic missile, with satellite imagery showing no US carriers or destroyers in the Gulf of Oman or Arabian Sea since early September, per open-source intelligence and Sentinel-2 data. The Qasem Basir has a declared range of roughly 1,200 kilometers — enough to cover nearly the entire Gulf of Oman and the US fleet’s previous positions — and is reportedly equipped with electro-optical and thermal imaging seekers designed to track naval targets. SNSC Secretary Mohsen Rezaei said the missile “created hell for the Americans,” while CENTCOM acknowledged US vessels came under attack by hostile missiles but said they were defeated without damage. Satellite imagery shows the USS George Washington, USS George H.W. Bush, USS Tripoli and Arleigh Burke-class destroyers are no longer visible in the designated blockade zone, with the line reportedly pushed beyond the missile’s range. The USS Gerald R. Ford has also left the Middle East after a ten-month deployment, leaving the US with two carriers in the region as CENTCOM prepares “short and strong” strike options against Iran. The blockade remains in place on paper, but the warships enforcing it have reportedly moved beyond the range of Iran’s anti-ship missiles.

Ro-Ro fire north of Mykonos. Crew and passengers all off — zero injuries. That’s the line that matters. Vehicle decks burn fast. Once smoke fills the car deck, time is measured in minutes, not hours. Today the abandon-ship drill was the real thing, and it worked. BLUE CARRIER 2 — 29 crew , 195 cars. Safe. The hull can be discussed later.

There's almost no point if we just give Iran a 'do-over'. They'll recover and happily go back to building missiles and nukes.

Saudi's East-West pipeline is offline. Yanbu loadings remain paused. That crude doesn't disappear. It gets forced back through Hormuz, then parked for ship-to-ship transfer off Oman. The STS workaround off Sohar is reportedly at its limits. Trade sources flag longer queues, more days alongside, less tonnage free for the Asia haul. A VLCC tied up lightering is a VLCC not carrying crude to China. That is the part the market keeps missing: when a pipeline is hit, you don't just move barrels. You lock ships into a holding pattern. Freight feels it before the headlines do.

And the IT jobs lost were overwhelmingly staffed by white men. How many careers were ruined because of the H-1B scam? How many families shattered over the financial stress that ensued? All perpetrated under the lie that Indian workers are better then Americans.
#BREAKING: Over 700,000 U.S. tech jobs were cut and 670,000 H-1B visas were issued to Indians since 2022.

🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia Has A Serious Rocket Force I was looking into Saudi Arabia’s MLRS arsenal and honestly, the scale of its rocket artillery is pretty serious. Open source estimates put the Kingdom at around 327 launchers, although the exact operational number is not publicly confirmed. 🇺🇸 M270 MLRS with 227mm rockets. GMLRS rockets can reach roughly 70 km, depending on the ammunition. 🇧🇷 77 ASTROS II with different rocket types offering different ranges. The range depends heavily on which rocket is being used. 🇷🇺 TOS 1A with a standard range of roughly 6 km, extending to around 10 km with newer rockets. It is built for extremely heavy short range firepower. 🇰🇷 K239 Chunmoo can fire different ammunition, including 131mm rockets reaching 36 km, 230mm rockets reaching 45 km and 239mm guided rockets reaching 80 km. What caught my attention is how this fits into Saudi Arabia’s wider strike capability. The Kingdom can combine rocket artillery with its air force and precision strike weapons, giving Saudi forces another layer of firepower against Houthi positions and military infrastructure. My take is that the real strength isn't simply the number of launchers. It is having different rocket systems with different ranges and capabilities working alongside Saudi airpower. Saudi Arabia has spent years building this capability. Now we are seeing the Kingdom put that firepower to work. 🇸🇦

I was skeptical about Europe’s future, but recent weeks have convinced me Europe is lost. Just let me explain. Elections in Sweden and Berlin revealed two alarming trends likely to worsen, with disastrous effects on Europe’s prosperity, social cohesion, safety and peace: 1. More young people vote for far-left parties, ignoring their history of shooting those fleeing socialism at the Berlin Wall, or their absurd current communist programs. Those who lacked their parents’ drive to study, work or start businesses now have the easy excuse to blame capitalism and “the rich“ for their laziness. 2. Elections are no longer won with reasonable programs. The left ramps up immigration for votes. Supporting militant antisemitism and promising lifelong welfare is sufficient to get enough votes to win. When in power the left opens borders further for new voters. Just see what is happening in Spain. It starts to get really concerning, Europe’s future looks like a slow-motion disaster.

"I could not have given him an easier layup." University of Michigan student Iman Dashti joins @WillCainShow after confronting Abdul El-Sayed with a direct question: "I wanted to ask if you stand unequivocally against the IRGC?" But El-Sayed dodged answering his question. Dashti says he wanted a clear condemnation, telling Will Cain: "Just say you're against the world's largest sponsor of terror." "I think it has something to do with the fact that a lot of his supporters are very supportive of the IRGC. They love the Iranian regime and he doesn't want to alienate them." "He has an extreme base that just agrees with these horrible, horrible ideas that the majority of Americans don't believe in." @willcain
"Do you stand with us?" A young Iranian-American student tells Abdul El-Sayed his family was tormented at the hands of the Iranian regime. He says his cousin was hunted by the IRGC and his uncle was sentenced to death and lashed, then asks him directly: Do you stand "unequivocally against the IRGC"? El-Sayed does not directly condemn the IRGC by name. Instead, the Michigan Democratic Senate candidate warns against U.S.-led regime change and argues that anger toward foreign governments can be used to advance "corporate interests" tied to natural resources. He later goes further, saying regime change can become "a ploy for the interests of our corporations." "You still haven't said it, though," the student responds. "We're dying." See the tense exchange and what happens when the student presses him again: foxnews.com/politics/michiga…

Islamic regime just blocked the Instagram of Setayesh Sadeghzadeh, a 13-year-old Iranian folk singer and dotar player with over a million followers. Her videos were deleted. Official excuse: “criminal content.” She sang traditional music. She also remembered the January martyrs in her songs and posts. The grown men running the Islamic Republic were so afraid of a 13-year-old girl that they needed a court order to silence her. When a child’s voice makes the foundations of the regime shake, it tells you everything about how weak they really are.

He was up working before sunrise in DC. Got on the plane to New York at 6am. Addressed the world at the U.N. Singed America’s deal with Greenland. Negotiated for 3 hours with the Iranians. Hosted 10 Gulf countries for a peace summit. Met with Zelenskyy to end Ukraine war. Met with Venesuela’s President to ink largest oil and minerals deal in world history. Hosted Shield of the Americas meeting with 20 other nations. Dinner at the U.N. with 17 separate pull aside meetings. Fly back to DC at 1AM. Back at work today before sunrise. All this man does is work for America. I don’t care what the media or polls say — I’m proud Trump is my President 🇺🇸
