PBS NewsHour: Trump warns of ‘bloodbath’ if he isn’t reelected at Ohio rally for Senate candidate Moreno
“If I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole — that’s going to be the least of it. It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country,” he warned, while talking about the impact of offshoring on the country’s auto industry and his plans to increase tariffs on foreign-made cars.
Biden campaign spokesperson James Singer accused Trump of doubling “down on his threats of political violence.”
“He wants another January 6, but the American people are going to give him another electoral defeat this November because they continue to reject his extremism, his affection for violence, and his thirst for revenge,” Singer charged in a statement.

FreeThink: FDA approves weight-loss drug Wegovy to treat heart problems

Weight loss and…? Wegovy has been approved as a weight-loss treatment for people with obesity or overweight and certain other health conditions since 2021. (Previously, a different dose of the same drug was approved under the brand name Ozempic for diabetes.)
Because the drug helps people lose weight, it was reasonable to assume it may also treat problems related to carrying excess weight, such as heart issues. However, because the trials Novo Nordisk used to get the drug approved as a treatment for obesity in 2021 didn’t prove anything more than weight loss, that’s the only indication included on its label.

In November 2023, Novo Nordisk published the results of SELECT, reporting that Wegovy reduced the risk of “major adverse cardiovascular events” (MACE) — heart attacks, strokes, and death from heart disease — by 20% compared to the placebo group. Deaths from any cause were also 19% lower in the treatment group.
