I'm not going to link to it but the oligarch-owned LAT ran a piece about the Democratic Party being in shambles. They interviewed James Carville, Rahm Emanuel, Ro Kanna and Ruben Gallego. It was that bad

Yipes. He's using LAT to help his healthcare enterprises earn him more money. How much is enough for a billionaire?

Behind torrents of press releases, his record is a hallucinatory plummet through wild claims (ie, he didn't cure diabetes), predatory marketing of generics, vertical integration, Medicaid bilking, pump & dump stock moves, & self dealing charities. Recently RFK was plugging an S-S activity app on CNN

He doesn't need money now but he has to keep moving before the empire is all shown to be smoke and mirrors, ruined hospitals, and absolutely tragic wealth extraction from extremely sick people

Over the years, Stat, WSJ, the NYT, the old WaPo and NYer have shown up parts of his long game. At one point, a Barrons analyst saw it. Funnily enough, a massively syndicated LAT piece about PSJ in the early 90s potentially having curing diabetes laid the table for his playing of the biotech boom.
