How sad is this? The CDC closed its FOIA office, so this story could only be published because a Danish journalist provided Rolling Stone with the documents, after obtaining them through a freedom of information request to the University of Southern Denmark

HHS Gave a $1.6 Million Grant to a Controversial Vaccine Study. These Emails Show How That Happened
Two Danish researchers faced accusations of “questionable research practices” as RFK Jr.’s top appointees made their study a “funding priority.”

Trump’s targeting Minnesota because it’s a walking contradiction to his whole racist, ugly, exclusion-first politics: a place that’s spent decades proving decency, pluralism, and civic responsibility can actually work. A great read:

This — THIS — is the tweet on X that brought two Secret Service agents to the woman’s home to interrogate her about her political leanings and activities. Outrageous.

The markets did everything they could to hold steady in the face of the Jerome Powell subpoenas, but I’m not sure they’ll do well with this news.
Looks like the EU-US trade deal is now dead, with all three major groups in the EU Parliament calling at least for suspension. The downward spiral has already begun.

It seems to be a decent vehicle although max. miles on a charge is low. If 3 things had been different, I think it would have done well here, too. Offer a 1/2 cab/ 1/2 truck bed model like they used to have. Offer a good camper van package. And finally, get the price point closer to $50k from $75k.
The electric minivan didn’t do great in the U.S., but its performance globally has been rock solid.

2025 was the third hottest year on record, and the last 11 years are the warmest ever. Oceans absorbed 90% of the extra heat, fueling stronger storms, heavier floods & marine die-offs.
This isn't "weather", it's our planet screaming. Time to listen.
