GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.

The Kansas chief justice is going to retire in early 2026.

That'll give the Democratic governor an appointment—but major caveat that the 'merit system' significantly constrains the governor's choice in this state (for now), so don't expect a major upheaval.

The damage is lasting. Vaccine development pipelines are slower. Expert committees are sidelined. Public confidence is fractured. When oversight becomes manipulation, health policy becomes hostage to ideology.

Prasad also pressured FDA scientists to withdraw a vaccine study that was still under peer review. The paper, which supported vaccine efficacy, was forced into silence before it could be published. The message was clear: evidence that contradicts power will never see the light.

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.

His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."

He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.

There's a roughly $80 trillion hole in the US economy, that began growing in 1975, as a result of serial tax cuts for the wealthy and stagnated wages for workers.

It's possibly the greatest act of theft in human history.

People need to acknowledge that all of the loud voices on the "Dems have to move to the center" team are paid by a Super PAC with the express purpose of electing more moderate Dems. They are not putting impartial empirical research out there. it's just Super PAC fundraising masquerading as "data"
none of these people (inclusive of UK labour) seem to understand that voters want their leaders to *lead* them, not reflect their own ill thought preferences back at them

A huge night for Democrats:

—They flip Miami's mayorship.
—They flip a state House district in Georgia that had voted Trump by 13%.
—They keep Albuquerque's mayorship, while the liberal faction flips city council.
—And they get big overperformances (+18 & +22) in 2 Florida specials.
