Chabad Lubavitch HQ @Lubavitch - Every baseball journalist knows that you don’t talk to a starting pitcher on the day he is scheduled to make his start. Pitchers typically have very careful, practiced routines, and any disruption might throw them off their game. So even a casual greeting — let alone a conversation — is verboten.

Children’s Health Defense @ChildrensHD - Pfizer’s stock “surged” late Tuesday after CEO Albert Bourla announced an agreement with President Donald Trump to lower its U.S. drug prices and invest $70 billion in U.S. manufacturing.
Critics of the deal say the public deserves to know exactly how the company and the government are collaborating.
Children’s Health Defense (CHD) CEO Mary Holland said it was “troubling” for the Trump administration to keep the details of its agreement with Pfizer confidential. Though arguably legal, the move “completely undermines” the administration’s commitment to transparency, she said, adding:
