The “law and order” regime is gonna do what?
A Jan. 6 rioter was caught on video encouraging insurrectionists to "kill" police officers. Now he has a job in Trump’s Justice Department.

U.S. inflation rose slightly last month as grocery prices ticked higher
The figures suggest inflation remains stubbornly above the Federal Reserve's 2% target, which makes it less likely that the central bank will cut its key short-term interest rate.

Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise."

Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That's specifically *why* vaccine trials don't use placebo arms.

Ethical violation as POLICY.

U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr intends to shift the way vaccines are tested, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday, citing a spokesperson from the HHS.

I met a Trumpy woman in Florida (not out reporting, just out for a walk) who said she was "looking forward to not paying anything."
One angle I'm always thinking about is how much free stuff Trump promised. There are people currently expecting 1) no income tax under $200k, 2) free IVF, 3) a baby bonus, 4) a $5000 "DOGE dividend." And there is no plan to do that stuff! Just campaign rhetoric.
No, writes @ddale8.bsky.social, Trump did not warn voters during the campaign that his tariffs would require a “transition period.” He said they would make voters “so rich” and are “not going to be a cost to you,” with none of his current rhetoric about temporary issues. www.cnn.com/2025/05/01/p...
