So not a question of if, but when
A paragraph from the article says: But the debate inside the administration has shifted recently, from whether it makes sense to invoke the act to more deeply exploring how and when it might be invoked, both people close to the White House said.

Today in the garden: an all-white nasturtium leaf, a garden friend, and a funky looking cuke. 🌱

Today in the garden: It’s been hard to get a pic that really does the marigolds and nasturtiums justice - so much beautiful color as we head into autumn. A few more of the cream-and-red nasturtiums bloomed, and it looks like we still have a few cukes on the way. 🌱

Lots of flowers in the garden this week! The black-eyed susan and globe amaranth have recovered and bloomed again (I cut them way back after a storm flopped them over), the marigolds are back to red (is it the cooler nights?), and the roses continue to grow like crazy. 🌱

This weekend in the garden: still harvesting cucumbers, jalapeños, and volunteer cherry tomatoes; lots of honeynut squash to look forward to; and the patio moss rose finally bloomed! 🌱

A small orange cherry tomato, a bunch of small yellow-orange jalapeño peppers, and three shiny green cucumbers on a lattice black metal table. I think the tomato is a sungold. The peppers are pumpkin spice variety, and the cucumbers are diva variety. Three small honeynut squashes hanging with vines on a wooden trellis. The squashes are shaped like butternuts, and are orange with green streaks. A moss rose flower with spiky green leaves growing between bricks. The flower is bright yellow with small red spots near the center.

I wish incontinence on all of them.
A paragraph for the article says: “The government said the A.I. screening tool would focus narrowly on about a dozen procedures, which it has determined to be costly and of little to no benefit to patients. Those procedures include devices for incontinence control, cervical fusion, certain steroid injections for pain management, select nerve stimulators and the diagnosis and treatment of impotence.”

Because once again it’s been too long: sunny nasturtiums, lots of peppers on the poblano plant, a pretty peach moss rose, and a katydid hanging out on a cucumber leaf. 🌱

Also, the article seems purely speculative at this point … lots of “could” and “might.” The paragraph below says Americans SAY tariffs and inflation are why PS stuff is more expensive. Based on what? Articles like this suggesting it’s so?
An paragraph from the article that says: A new report from Empower found that 44 percent of Americans say tariffs and inflation are making pumpkin-flavored items cost more, and 39 percent agreed the "pumpkin spice tax" is real.

Based on what, vibes? I know tariffs are affecting things, but this is the only reason companies need to make pumpkin spice stuff more expensive:
A paragraph from the article that says: Across the board, 39 percent of adults prefer seasonal versions of their favorite products even if it costs more, and 43 percent said pumpkin spice makes a product seem more premium or exclusive.

Basing medical decisions on influencers, of course
A paragraph from the article reads: At the pool, Ms. Pitman told Ms. Borchers all the reasons she does not trust vaccines, referring her new neighbor to some of her favorite influencers who shared her views.
