The good news here - virtually all doctors, most semi-educated people are ignoring RFK, Jr. We’re all getting Flu and Covid vaccines, go out of our way to do so (sourcing from Canada and UK/EU if need be). The downside - the US is no longer the leader in health care innovation.

I’ve stopped relying on US news outlets to accurately report on Trump 2.0 - they’ve all been cowed. But non-US news sources like The Economist, BBC, Sky News, Financial Times, France 24, have no such problem.

Below a very good read, and very non-ideological, from the folks at The Economist
Trumponomics 2.0 will erode the foundations of America’s prosperity
The Big Beautiful Bill is symptomatic of a wider malaise

U.S. and Ukraine Sign Minerals Deal
The Trump administration did not immediately provide details about the agreement, and it was not clear what it meant for the future of U.S. military support for Ukraine.

TRUMP DITCHES FALLEN SOLDIERS' DIGNIFIED TRANSFER FOR GOLF DINNER

Trump won't attend the dignified transfer of 4 U.S. soldiers at Dover AFB who died in Lithuania.

He'll be at his Saudi-backed LIV Golf dinner in Florida instead. The soldiers were honored by Lithuania's president.

Question. Is Donald Trump so relatively poor that he HAS TO DO whatever his largest mega-donor (Elon Musk) says? Sure seems like that…

Bone-dry winds tore across parts of Texas and New Mexico, kicking up dust storms and causing dangerous driving conditions, as forecasters said the risk of fires breaking out in the parched region would persist into Wednesday.
Dust Storms in Texas and New Mexico Raise Fire Risks

So…a Federal Judge said to “turn the planes around”…and they ignored the Judge?

Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, also asserted that the federal courts “have no jurisdiction” over President Trump’s conduct of foreign affairs or his power to expel foreign enemies.

Sen. Chuck Schumer is now irrelevant - for allowing the GOP to roll over the Senate Filibuster. We have to move on from these cowards.

AOC: It is almost unthinkable why Senate Democrats would vote to to hand the few pieces of leverage that we have away for free when we've been sent here to protect social security, protect medicaid, and protect medicare.

That's it. Remove @schumer.senate.gov as minority leader. Enough Quislings.

If Sen. Schumer votes to proceed with the GOP-only budget bill…he no longer deserves to be Minority Leader. Period.

Absolutely, Dems should force the GOP to “own this” shutdown…and showcase GOP cuts to Medicaid, Veterans Programs and all this willy-nilly tariff stuff that is bringing on an artificial (and unnecessary) recession…

Not comforting when the guy CAUSING economic turmoil is saying we may be headed to a US Recession. Right now, that seems like the likely outcome of his erratic policies, but the picture will become clearer in the next few week. Watch the markets…

Wow.

Tonight's speech is an impressive homage to Hitler's 1939 speech to the German Reichstag, just after Germany invaded Poland. Perhaps a bit more grandiose than Hitler's original vision, but a towering speech nevertheless.

Long live the bronze Emperor!

Speaking of absurd. If the Nobel Prize committee even considered this, they would need to posthumously award one to Neville Chamberlin as well. Destroying the post WW2 order is not deserving of anything, except for a shameful footnote in future history books.
