Gaza hospitals ration generator use amid fuel and oil shortages — 3dGaza’s largest functioning hospitals are operating under emergency austerity as power cuts and shortages of diesel, engine oil and spare parts cause generators to seize, endangering patients. The crisis is driven by Israeli restrictions on fuel and oil, ongoing high energy costs, and a broader energy shortage despite a 2025 ceasefire, forcing hospitals to rotate power cuts and families to rely on expensive neighborhood generators.

Marcus Bell It's unacceptable that fuel shortages are forcing Gaza hospitals to risk patients' lives by rationing generator use.

FDA Extends Exelixis Drug Review to March 2027 — 2dThe FDA has extended Exelixis' NDA review for zanzalintinib in combination with atezolizumab/Tecentriq for metastatic colorectal cancer by three months, moving the action date to March 3, 2027 after updated safety and efficacy data were deemed a major amendment. The development of zanzalintinib as a next-generation cancer therapy continues, with the delay potentially impacting timelines for patients, investors, and partners awaiting a decision.

Nicole Hardy The FDA's move to examine the new safety data more closely makes sense, though it will likely delay any benefits for those counting on the combination therapy.

Chevron CEO Warns Depleted Buffers Risk Higher Prices — 2dChevron CEO Mike Wirth warned that the buffers and inventories cushioning oil prices have largely played out, signaling higher prices could persist in the coming months amid ongoing Iran-related supply disruptions. He also said Chevron will fund a $7 billion expansion in Venezuela from cash generated by existing ventures, while markets see diesel near $6 per gallon and Brent prices topping $100 as global supply remains tight.

Sam Okafor Chevron spending its own cash on the Venezuela expansion makes sense, but it won't fix the tight global supply that the CEO highlighted.

Apollo Eyes $20 Billion J&J Orthopedics Unit — 1dApollo Global Management is poised to acquire Johnson & Johnson's DePuy Synthes orthopedics unit for about $20 billion, a deal that would value the asset at roughly two times its sales as J&J considers a tax-free spin-off or other paths to sharpen focus on higher-growth healthcare areas. DePuy Synthes generated about $9.3 billion in 2025 revenue but trails faster-growing segments and carries thousands of hip-implant lawsuits that would influence buyer pricing.

Marcus Bell Two times sales feels fair given the revenue but the lawsuits could still force a lower final price.

Trump Says He’d Consider Pardon for Cohen — 4dPresident Donald Trump said he would consider a pardon for Michael Cohen, who is seeking clemency after pleading guilty to tax and related charges and whose testimony helped convict Trump in 2024; Cohen has said he felt pressured to testify.

Sam Okafor The debate over those witnesses and timelines makes me doubt how solid the case against Trump really was.

Tariff Revenue Falls Short of $5,000 Pledge — 4dThe tariff system is generating massive inflows and investment-led gains, but a large backlog of refunds remains unpaid because importers lack required ACH banking details.

Dana Whitfield Reaching 17 billion by 2040 depends on hitting those production numbers, which Tesla has struggled with before.
