Some rather stunning quotes from CEOs on market power in my credit bureau piece.
FICO’s CEO, Will Lansing, has noted publicly that his firm has “quite a bit of discretion in whether we want our margins to be higher or lower or where they are.” thebignewsletter.com/p/inside-fico-…
This piece took a lot of research. It's an analysis of how the FICO monopoly and the credit bureau cartel actually work, and why they are driving mortgage bankers out of business. CFPB Director Rohit Chopra and Senator Josh Hawley make appearances. thebignewsletter.com/p/inside-fico-…

#AboutTime
Doctors at a major US insurance company deny tens of thousands of claims a month without even looking at patients’ files.
“We literally click & submit,” a former Cigna doctor told @propublica & @Capitol_Forum. “It takes all of 10 seconds to do 50 at a time.”
The inside story 🧵
One good thing about rain is that it makes rainbows. Even in the darkest days, there can be light. With unity and love, people can overcome anything. And NYC with NEVER be defeated. #NeverForget#ILoveNYC 🌈🗽🇺🇸
Remember the recently detained Yelena Osipova, who survived the siege of Leningrad? She's back in action, protesting publicly in St Petersburg
"🇷🇺 soldier, drop your weapon - and you'll be a real hero!"
Banners are painted by herself.
Don't know about you, but we love her! 💙💛
This is from the NYT photo team, and NYT security is the first to run out the door to help - can't thank the security guys enough for all the work they do. What's happening in Irpin is horrific and clearly direct targeting of civilians trying to flee.
This is crucial, and the quickest way to get at Putin. Sanction every oligarch, and everyone they touch. Seize their assets. Bar their kids from Western universities. Target their business dealings. Stop looking the other way. wsj.com/articles/targe… via @WSJopinion
.@POTUS President Biden, Medicare just proposed to deny coverage of an FDA-approved Alzheimer’s treatment for all but a privileged few. This would be unprecedented across all diseases. Don’t let this discrimination happen under your watch! #EndAlz!
FDA made the right decision for Aducanumab. Check out my keynote speech "Facts and Misconceptions about Aducanumab Approval" at youtube.com/watch?v=OAN_cs… and a related WSJ article "How Biogen Fumbled Aduhelm, Its Once-Promising Alzheimer’s Drug".
Ian MacLachlan led the team that developed the key lipid nanoparticle the Moderna & Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines use to get mRNA into human cells. Few acknowledge his work. This is his untold story. 1/8

As advocates and critics debate the FDA's approval of Aduhelm, and a chorus of experts and patient advocates protest the price, many patients and families are excited about the new drug, hopeful it will stop Alzheimer’s disease from getting worse. wb.md/3r12JeQ
@sharkbiotech@Biohazard3737 The “vote” at the crucial April 26 meeting was 5-1 with one abstention, supporting the Aduhelm approval decision. These were the directors of all the major divisions within FDA. Woodcock was not involved.
my sister’s 6th grade social studies class took a quiz today and......... this is ridiculous.. harmful rhetoric in our education system is exactly why anti-asian hate crimes and racism persist today @CFBISD@BlalackMS do better
