Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, our analysis shows.
As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed.
No one knows why he was detained.

Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.

Clearly the economy folk need to be blunter. You can't restore the factory jobs of the 1950s because technology has changed, and manufacturing has changed. They weren't actually the golden era anyway. Least of all for consumers.

Trump’s Big Bet: Americans Will Tolerate Economic Downturn to Restore Manufacturing
The president offers many reasons for imposing tariffs, including revenue, leverage over competitors and job creation. But history suggests a more complex history.

I know this is going to sound naive or earnest, but I genuinely find myself shocked by how little people seem to be upset by the levels of corruption we're seeing. Is that the median voter assumes everyone is corrupt already? Or isn't actually getting stories about the corruption?

Really difficult to square this with economic reality. Of course there were warts, but the latest issues over recession, stocks, trade barriers is all Trump (and the whipsaw over trust in longstanding allegiances, military and economic)
Leavitt: "We are in a period of economic transition. We are in a period of transition from the mess that was created by Joe Biden and the previous administration. Joe Biden left this country in an economic disaster."

Not lost on me how funny it is that Trump put a 10% tariff on Canadian electricity and it was good and based but when Doug Ford put a 25% export tax on electricity it was an evil attack on America’s basic security and freedom that needed to be retaliated against.

Mark Carney wins 85.9% of the votes for a decisive first ballot victory. He is the new Liberal leader and prime minister designate. He will officially become PM likely later this week. The first PM in Canada to have never held elected office. Expect an election soon.
