Originally written for Sonic Grid. Sign up today as the platform launches soon, and we’ll be featuring a lot more in-depth liner notes, new music features, and much more. Some albums hit later on. John Coltrane’s big band instrumentation threw everyone for a loop in ‘61. Fans were craving another Giant Steps or My Favorite Things. Instead they got the mythological tour de force known as Africa/Brass. Downbeat panned it. Most ignored it. Now it’s considered a masterpiece.

While explosive diarrhea ravages the nation and measles cases surpass 2025 totals (threatening America’s elimination status), RFK Jr is focusing on what matters most in health care: chiropractic.

The FDA just green-lit the production of two popular peptides by specialized pharmacies even though there’s not a lot of clinical evidence to support their efficacy. In fact, FDA scientists warned against doing so. As NPR reports: An analysis presented by FDA scientists didn't support easing restrictions on BPC-157, often used for ulcerative colitis, or KPV, a peptide used for inflammation. Fewer than 10 human clinical trials on BPC-157 exist. None tracking use beyond 12 weeks.

I take no pleasure in reporting that Jordan Peterson is back. As he recently posted on his social media handles: I’m pleased to let you know that we’re going to release a lecture a week from my extensive tour archive, beginning this Sunday and then repeating every Sunday after that. This allows me to do something interesting and useful while I’m otherwise incapacitated. My health is such at the moment that I can’t really return to podcasting or public lecturing.

On June 30, the EPA finalized registrations for two novel fluorinated herbicides, diflufenican and epyrifenacil, clearing them for use on corn and soybeans—the two most widely planted crops in the United States. Epyrifenacil also approved on wheat and canola. Neither chemical has ever been sprayed on US soil before which, along with other reasons, has gotten environmental activists and MAHA fans up in arms. Unsurprisingly, the EPA did not issue a press release.

I’ve covered RFK Jr for years, long before a presidential run was a thought in his mind. I’ve reported incessantly on the MAHA movement since Kennedy stole the term and co-opted it for himself two years ago.

This is an edited transcript of an audio version. Listen here. I do not love America, and never have, especially now. With an opening sentence like that, you know you’re in for a ride—and Eddie Glaude Jr does not disappoint. The James S.

On May 12, 2025 RFK Jr co-authored a guest essay for the NY Times entitled “Trump Leadership: If You Want Welfare and Can Work, You Must.” A true family affair, Kennedy shared the byline with Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services; Brooke Rollins, secretary of agriculture; and Scott Turner, secretary of housing and urban development.

This is an edited transcript from the launch of the Conspirituality Book Club. You can listen to the full episode here. The NIH has been a wonderful place because it allows scientists to take risks, form unique collaborations, and do studies difficult to conduct elsewhere. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished and I’m fortunate to have had such wonderful colleagues and scientific collaborators.

Earlier today, The Guardianpublished a troublesome investigation into autistic children being injected with stem cells purported to “treat” their “condition.” The most unsurprising finding is that RFK Jr has been encouraging these treatments. Marketed as “regenerative medicine,” clinics are charging upwards of $20,000 per treatment despite a complete lack of evidence that the treatments do anything for autistic children.
