“Government advisers are meeting Thursday to decide if COVID-19 vaccines need updating to improve protection this fall and winter — even as a new Trump administration policy has thrown into question who may be eligible for a shot. The Food and Drug Administration’s outside experts have met regularly since the launch of the first COVID-19 vaccines to discuss tweaking their recipes to stay ahead of the virus. Thursday’s meeting is the group’s first since President Donald Trump took office. But it comes just two days after FDA leaders upended the prior U.S. policy of recommending annual COVID-19 boosters for all Americans ages 6 months and older.” (05/22/25)

“Dozens of non-Costa Rican nationals who were deported to Costa Rica by the Trump administration in February say they did not receive an asylum screening interview before being expelled, according to a report released by Human Rights Watch on Thursday. The report alleges that the U.S. government did not follow the ‘minimal, if deficient’ protections around the right to seek asylum and the right not be returned to harm, and kept those expelled in ‘inhumane conditions’ while they were detained in the United States. The report explores one instance of the Trump administration expelling migrants to a country besides their country of origin, a tactic the administration has repeatedly reached for as part of its immigration crackdown. In the report, Human Rights Watch calls on the U.S. government to stop expelling or transferring noncitizens to third countries.” (05/22/25)

Has America been made great again enough for you yet? Personally, I don’t know how much more greatness I can handle. I mean, you got the Salvadoran gulag thing, the crackdown on free speech thing, the threats to suspend constitutional rights because of the latest ‘state of emergency’ (i.e., the ‘invasion’ of America by squads of ‘ren de Aragua assassins’ that Biden conspired with Maduro to unleash on God-fearing heterosexual white families), the luxury resort and theme park Trump wants to build on the ruins of Gaza …. well, I’m sure I’m leaving something out, but who can keep track of all this greatness? But, seriously, I don’t know how much more great again America can be made at this point, unless they decide to go the whole hog and declare Trump ’emperor.’ Which, I wouldn’t put that past them … you know, just to ‘own the libs.'” (05/22/25)

“In the United Kingdom, a mini political earthquake has thrown everything up into the air. At the beginning of May, several local councils held elections for the county, allowing voters a say in how their local services are managed—bin collection, potholes being filled in, local development plans, etc. These elections are not, therefore, the most decisive electoral events of the calendar. But politically, they can be used to send a message, and that is certainly what happened this time. Often seen as a chance for voters to express their discontent, local elections can be taken as a test of the current government’s performance, and this is one they definitively failed.” (05/22/25)

“Dear Jake Tapper, You co-wrote a new book in which you brazenly accuse the Biden administration of orchestrating ‘a cover-up’ to conceal the former president’s cognitive decline. But you were complicit. You played a major role. Why did Democrats and media co-conspirators, like you, keep quiet, downplay and viciously attack those pointing out former President Joe Biden’s obvious cognitive decline — even though his deterioration was an accepted fact behind Democrat closed doors? Easy. Until and unless Biden agreed to step aside, Democrats/media who publicly ratted out Biden’s decline would have given Democrat-generated opposition material and attack lines to his Republican challenger — likely the hated Donald Trump. And you/Dems/media arrogantly considered Trump ‘too fascist/racist/sexist/maniacal’ to win — even against a feeble, stumbling, incoherent Biden.” (05/22/25)

“Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. fingered four potential causes of childhood chronic disease in a bombshell report released Thursday — the first step in the Trump administration’s bid to reverse what it calls ‘a health crisis’ impacting 40% of America’s kids. The report identified poor diet, environmental chemicals, lack of physical activity and chronic stress, and overmedicalization as likely responsible for persistent maladies — including obesity, autism, cancer, mental health issues and allergies — warning: ‘The health of American children is in crisis’. The report cites ‘ultra processed foods’ (UPFs) as among the most likely causes of the chronic disease crisis. While they may have been created with a good purpose in mind, the commission writes, 70% of the diets of American children are currently made up of high-caloric, low-nutrient foods.” (05/22/25)
