A study from JAMA Pediatrics compares states that have permissive gun laws with others that have strict regulations. The states with tougher rules did not see a rise in gun deaths among children and teens.
Guns are the leading cause of death of kids and teens, and state laws matter

For decades the NIH has led a public health campaign credited with saving thousands of babies from dying in their sleep. The administration's cuts come as sleep-related infant deaths have been rising.

This is driving me crazy too. Not long ago 10% universal tariffs were considered the worst-case scenario, something even Trump wasn’t crazy enough to impose. Now have those PLUS 125% tariffs on China. Together, these raise raise inflation by about as much as original “Liberation Day” tariffs did!
why is *every* newspaper/programme running with the headline "tariffs are paused" when they haven't been.
What's happened is that every country (except China) gets a flat rate of 10% for 90 days.

Climate change is impacting kids now.
Heat. Smoke. Floods. These cause stress, respiratory distress, pain, illness, & school closure. They all cause learning loss that disproportionately affects poor & marginalized kids, 240+ million of them.
We can’t wait to act on climate. Our kids need us.

The U.S is the wealthiest country in the history of the world. We should not have the highest rate of child poverty of nearly every major country on earth. We should have the lowest.

The firing of the top Army, Navy, and Air Force lawyers who provide legal and ethical guidance to military leaders is alarming. They are known as the conscience of our military.

Minnesota and 21 other states went to court to prevent the admin from slashing medical research—and won. This would have canceled life-saving research into organ transplants, cancers, Parkinson’s disease, and more.
