Heart disease is the leading cause of death for Americans, claiming more lives than all types of cancer combined. Key risk factors for heart disease, especially LDL-C, or “bad” cholesterol, and elevated Lp(a) levels, are often sidelined or ignored. Even younger Americans are increasingly affected by cardiovascular disease: A new study from the American Heart Association revealed that over the past decade, deaths from severe first heart attacks among adults under 54 have risen by more than 50%. But policymakers and advocates have a chance to stem the tide. With improved health guidelines, greater awareness and implementation of patient-centered care, and ensuring new, genetically-targeted technologies can come to market, the U.S. can…
As the United States prepares for a historic summer—anchored by the FIFA World Cup and the America250 celebrations—the aviation industry stands at a critical crossroads. As demand is projected to hit record highs and amid increased reliance for air cargo shipments, U.S. airlines are navigating geopolitical instability, fluctuating fuel costs and frequent government shutdowns. While Congress has invested a critical $12B down payment in overhauling the U.S. air traffic control system, and meaningful progress is being made already, the next phase of these critical upgrades remains in the hands of lawmakers. Join The Hill and Airlines for America for this breakfast policy briefing as we bring together industry leaders, lawmakers and…
Clinical trials are one of healthcare's most powerful tools, and one of its most underutilized pathways to patient care and innovative therapies. Yet, they are too often positioned as a last resort rather than a viable care option, limiting patient access, slowing enrollment, and making the path to new treatment options longer. Identifying and matching patients to the right clinical trial opportunity remains the single-largest cause of clinical trial delays, with many trials failing to meet their initial enrollment targets. But meeting an enrollment target doesn't guarantee the right patients are represented, as trials consistently fall short of reflecting the communities that carry the greatest burden of disease. What are the biggest…
President Trump announced a sudden end to his operation to break Iran’s hold on the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday night, hours before reports emerged that Washington and Tehran are closing in on a framework of a deal to end the war. The president again threatened to resume bombing if the deal falls through, but Trump’s moves underline his desire for an off-ramp as economic pain and political pressure mount.

Psychiatry is at an inflection point. And the stakes are high. Mental illness costs the U.S. economy more than $280 billion annually, drives veteran suicide rates, and places mounting strain on everything from emergency rooms to the workforce. Yet many of today’s medicines have not advanced in decades despite the rising prevalence and unmet need. For the one in five Americans living with a mental health disorder and veterans who face disproportionally high suicide rates and do not respond to conventional treatments, the gap between what medicine promises and what it delivers has never been more consequential. But change is underway. A new wave of rigorous clinical science is unlocking the therapeutic potential of psychedelic medicines…
Former New York State Assemblyman Dov Hikind joined “Bianca Across the Nation” to discuss the alarming rise in physical assaults against the Jewish community and Miss Israel 2025’s shocking encounter with the wife of NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani in a New York cafe.
The offices of state Sen. L. Louise Lucas, a Democrat, as well as a cannabis dispensary she co-owns were raided. The exact nature and targets of the probe remain unclear.
Royce White and Professor Penn discuss President Trump’s efforts to end hostilities with Iran, using the media backlash as a sign that the post–World War II liberal order may be losing control. They argue that war functions as both a business model and a form of coercive mind control, where defense contractors profit while ordinary Americans carry the cost. The conversation expands into media propaganda, political manipulation, and what they see as a broader disconnect from reality in American culture. They also criticize modern ideological movements, especially around gender, identity, and public morality, framing them as signs of deeper spiritual and psychological decay. Throughout the episode, Royce and Professor Penn contrast…
