After more than a year of dating Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson, Donald Trump Jr. is still having trouble negotiating his girlfriend’s admission into the upper echelons of his father’s MAGA world, according to a lengthy report by the Daily Mail. With her honey-blonde hair and membership to Palm Beach high society, Anderson fits the image of an ideal political partner, but some of Trump Jr.’s family and friends still feel wary about her, and there are several reasons why, according to the Daily Mail. One is that the 38-year-old model and influencer reportedly her sights set on another high-profile Donald Trump ally — who is much, much richer than Trump Jr. — before she started her romance with the president’s oldest son. “She was going for Elon Musk,” a friend of Anderson told the Daily Mail about Anderson’s reported interest in the world’s richest person. The friend asked to remain anonymous out of fear of backlash from Trump World.

A Trump Organization spokesman also did not directly address the Musk issue “in a series of expletive-filled messages.” In recent years, Musk has been the subject of multiple reports about his desire to increase the world’s population. As Musk has publicly warned about global population collapse leading to the end of humanity, he has become the father of at least 14 of his own with four women, according to Forbes. The New York Times reported in 2024 that Musk would love to have all his children and their mothers live together in a compound he has been building outside Austin, Texas, near the headquarters of his electric car company Tesla. A proponent of in vitro fertilization, Musk also has offered his own sperm to friends and acquaintances, the New York Times also reported. The Daily Mail report doesn’t say whether Anderson ever told the SpaceX founder about her reported desire to have a baby with him. But nothing apparently ever happened between her and Musk, and Trump Jr., 47, has told friends of his intention to marry her. Anderson and Trump Jr., reportedly began dating in the summer of 2024, while Trump Jr. was still officially engaged to Kimberly Guilfoyle, 56, a top fundraiser for Trump’s presidential campaign and a former Fox News host. Indeed, Trump Jr.’s relationship with Anderson, who was born into one of Palm Beach’s old-money banking families, became an “open secret” in Palm Beach and the subject of tabloid gossip that summer, according to the Daily Mail. Trump Jr. and Anderson held off going public about the romance until after his father was elected president for a second time in November 2024. After Trump won the election, he announced he had nominated Guilfoyle, the ex-wife of California Gov. Gavin Newsom, to be his ambassador to Greece. Guilfoyle’s nomination was seen by some political observers as a way that Trump could reward her for her political loyalty, while nudging her out of his “immediate sphere” and sending her off to Europe so that his son could openly pursue his new relationship with Anderson. It appeared that Anderson began to gain a place in Trump World when she was invited to be a guest at Trump’s January 2025 inauguration in the rotunda of the U.S. Capitol, though she kept a low profile and didn’t sit with the Trump family. Since then, she has made some appearances at high-profile events, accompanying the president and family members on a golfing trip to Scotland in July and attending a Medal of…

For patients battling relapsed or treatment-resistant cancers, treatment options can feel limited, and the search for effective care can be overwhelming. At Epic Care, a new therapy is changing the landscape. Bispecific antibody therapy, a cutting-edge treatment that harnesses the body’s own immune system to combat cancer, is now available in a community setting, offering patients renewed hope when conventional therapies have failed. Dr. Srikanth Reddy, board-certified medical oncologist, hematologist, and Director of Medical Oncology at Epic Care, explains, “Cancer exists in nature, in part, because our own bodies are not able to recognize or attack cancers. This is because the cancer cell has our own DNA, a matching ‘fingerprint’ that bypasses security. This phenomenon is called immune escape and is a key challenge in fight cancer.” Bispecific antibodies are engineered proteins designed to bind to two different targets simultaneously, typically one on a cancer cell and another on an immune cell, such as a T-cell. This connection acts like a molecular bridge, helping the immune system recognize and attack tumors more effectively. Dr. Rajesh Behl, board-certified medical oncologist and hematologist at Epic Care, with expertise in hematologic malignancies, solid tumors, and cellular therapies, including CAR-T, says, “This therapy allows us to engage the patient’s own immune system in a highly targeted way, providing options where previously there were very few.” The process begins with a thorough evaluation to determine whether the patient’s cancer is eligible for therapy. If it is, the treatment is administered in an outpatient clinic, typically through an injection or infusion. The therapy directs immune cells specifically to the cancer cells, effectively targeting the tumor while minimizing damage to healthy tissue. Patients are monitored closely throughout their treatment to manage any side effects and ensure their ongoing safety and well-being. “What’s exciting about bispecific therapies is not just their effectiveness, but their accessibility,” says Dr. Behl. “Patients can receive these “off the shelf” treatments in the community oncology setting often without the need for any hospitalization, making advanced care more approachable. We’re only beginning to explore the potential of this therapy, and the future looks promising with new combinations and innovations on the horizon.” Clinical results have been promising. In patients with relapsed multiple myeloma who had failed several prior therapies, response rates have exceeded 70%, with nearly half achieving complete remission. Unlike CAR T-cell therapy, another novel treatment which also seeks to overcome immune escape and allow the body to engage cancer cells, bispecific antibodies can be delivered in outpatient clinics, making advanced care more accessible. The FDA has approved several treatments for cancers, including multiple myeloma, lymphoma, and lung cancer, such as Teclistamab (Tecvayli®), Mosunetuzumab (Lunsumio®), and Talquetamab (Talvey®). Emerging treatments, such as Petosemtamab, are showing promise in head and neck cancers, and ongoing research is exploring combinations with other immunotherapies and trispecific antibodies to improve outcomes further. “Bispecific antibody therapy is a game-changer for patients who have exhausted…
