Trump’s promise Wednesday to pay troops a “warrior dividend” bonus is actually a military housing stipend already approved by Congress — not a generous new White House program.
Trump claims credit for military bonus that Congress already approved
The White House’s plans for a “warrior dividend” to reward troops this holiday season are actually housing assistance funds approved this summer.

It really seems like they wanted to declare war on Venezuelan, bailed at the last moment on that, and realized that just canceling the speech would have led to questions about his health?

It’s very funny how they all agree they need to get the president out in front of the cameras more because he can use the Voice to boost their midterm turnout, but they have one big problem: the president is completely insane

Like many others, I’ve been trying to figure out how the team that RFK Jr. just funded to do a randomized, controlled trial of HepB vaccine in Guinea-Bissau is going to get ethics approval.
In this thread, I share what I think they will do to alleviate ethical concerns.

Here is what I think the research team to whom RFK Jr. just gave $1.6 million to do a randomized controlled trial of HepB vaccine in Guinea-Bissau is going to do.
Although the WHO recommendation is to administer the HepB vaccine at birth, infants in G-B usually get it at 6 weeks, not at birth.

As with everything he says, this is wildly uninformed. Formula keeps getting better and saves lives. And modern research indicates that outcomes are roughly the same. There are reasons to breastfeed but your child isn’t suffering if you don’t
RFK Jr: "All of the ingenuity of corporate America has not produced an infant formula that is superior in nutrition and all the qualities that we want to the infant formula that God made, which is the infant formula in a mother's breast."

I'm not an economist but I don't see how this doesn't end in economic collapse. 1. Deporting the labor force that maintains our basic necessities 2. Slashing funding for education, government, and healthcare 3. Massive layoffs across the private sector 4. Destroying relationships with allies.

The US banks want nothing to do with propping up Argentina’s economy. The country has defaulted on its sovereign debt nine times. Yet we entered into a “currency swap” for their pesos that we will never get back.

every time a child dies of a preventable disease in the next few years, that's the payoff for Nuzzis horniness
Nuzzi's fawning coverage of the sociopathic conspiracy crank she was having an affair with aided his rise to political power, which he is using to perpetrate the worst intentional public health catastrophe of our unnecessarily shortened lifetimes, and THAT is the STORY.

A 50 yr mortgage allows interest & fees to accrue over 50 yrs
A $500K payment isn’t significantly reduced beyond $100 -$150 & leaves them house poor.
W/o a $10K sales price reduction per $100K at set interest rates or a rate decrease to lower payments $500-$1K, only the banks win.

So lemme get this straight. You are eliminating the tariffs on tropical fruits, coffee and beef to lower prices since you took the mantel of the "affordability" President today.
I'm a little confused, though. If tariffs weren't paid for by me, then how is eliminating them saving me money? Ill wait.
