A case of active tuberculosis has been confirmed at a Florida high school, according to state health officials. Dozens more have latent TB. Kansas is currently dealing with the largest documented outbreak in US history. There is a vaccine, but it hasn't been needed in the US, at least for now.

In 2011, a man experimented on autistic children by injecting them with puberty blockers. He was charged with practicing medicine without a license.

RFK Jr. has hired that man and is giving him taxpayer money and access to your children's records, whether you like it or not.

The Education Department will begin collecting on student loans that are in default next month, including the garnishing of wages for potentially millions of borrowers, officials said on Monday. https://apnews.com/article/student-loan-debt-default-collection-fa6498bf519e0d50f2cd80166faef32a

Quality reporting models reason, asking questions, consulting multiple sources, and talking to the people you're talking about. Propaganda models simplistic, emotion-driven thinking that never challenges its fantastic claims and never presents the whole story.

People who were once critical thinkers turn into avid supporters, convinced their neighbors are genocidal maniacs despite evidence to the contrary.

While Putin's approval ratings may be inflated, he does have genuine domestic support. Despite his country's declining state, his 20 years spent taking over the media means he shapes their reality.

Most dictators don’t rule despite the people—they rule because enough people support them. Propaganda, fear, and grievance don’t just silence dissent—they mobilize consent—whether it's based on reality or not.

An essential lesson from Germany's history is that the German public was not uniquely vulnerable, foolish, or evil. They were human. The biggest mistake you can make is believing that you are immune.

This is the power of state-controlled media. It doesn't necessarily require direct state control. When an outlet chooses to align with the state of its own accord—more common than you might think—the effect can be the same. Over a decade, it changes people. It will change you.

Both influence their consumers' perception. It affects their mood and their relationships.

France gave us the talking to that we sorely needed.

If this is true, it should itself be a war crime. "We have reason to believe that the data (on stolen Ukrainian children who were being tracked at Yale) has been permanently deleted."

DOGE killed the program last week.

The state of Christianity in the US right now.

Mapping the epidemiology of wine consumption onto an election map would be interesting.

Investors are trying to read this uncertainty as they also watch growing evidence of a slowing U.S. economy. Unbridled Tariff Man was always going to be a big economic risk in a second term, and here we are."

Is this how the new Republican Party plans on helping working-class voters?
Mr. Trump is volatile, and who knows how long he’ll keep the tariffs in place. Retaliation that hits certain states and businesses may also cause him to reconsider sooner than he imagines.

Mr. Trump also objected when we reported an analysis by the Anderson Economic Group that the 25% tariff will raise the cost of a full-sized SUV assembled in North America by $9,000 and a pickup truck by $8,000.

His taxes will hit every cross-border transaction, and the North American vehicle market is so interconnected that some cars cross a border as many as eight times as they’re assembled.

Wall Street Journal: "We’ve courted Mr. Trump’s ire by calling the Mexico and Canada levies the “dumbest” in history, and we may have understated the point. Mr. Trump is whacking friends, not adversaries.

Turns out I don’t dislike alpha males. I just can’t stand the self-professed ones obsessed with tracking your cycle who have meltdowns over oat milk. More actual masculinity, please.
