  "textContent": "Hi All,\n\nIn follow up to this discussion, there is a YouTube video that was posted by StatNews (https://www.statnews.com/) this past week with some brief interviews with former FDA staff:\n\nWhy these former FDA officials left the agency\n\nThe video was part of an article that StatNews posted earlier in the week, however the article is only available via a subscription to their Stat+ content. Although I have followed StatNews for a number of years, I have not yet subscribed. That article is here:\n\nSTAT – 7 May 26\n\n### What was lost at the FDA\n\nWhat was lost at the FDA: A year after DOGE’s cuts, six agency staffers describe the work they never thought they’d leave.\n\nEst. reading time: 12 minutes\n\nI thought that the video would be of interest given the topic that was raised here.\n\nOn a related note, current FDA Commissioner Makary appears to be on his way out:\n\nNBC News – 8 May 26\n\n### Trump weighs firing Dr. Marty Makary as FDA chief\n\nMakary’s tenure as FDA chief has been marked by months of upheaval at the agency.",
