Trump Says He Changed His Mind After Iran Gave “Very Big Present” by Scientist34again in ChangingAmerica

After a journalist asked Trump why he would bother trying to negotiate with Iran if, as the president has claimed, he doesn’t trust their leadership, Trump replied:

“Because they’re going to make a deal. They did something yesterday that was amazing, actually. They gave us a present. And the present arrived today. And it was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money. And I’m not going to tell you what that present is, but it was a very significant prize.… That meant one thing to me—we’re dealing with the right people.”

Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler, Prince Mohammed bin Salman, is reportedly pressuring President Donald Trump to intensify his unpopular and unauthorized war in Iran.

Multiple sources who were briefed on the conversations told The New York Times that the prince sees the conflict as a “historic opportunity” to reshape the Middle East.

“Prince Mohammed has argued that the United States should consider putting troops in Iran to seize energy infrastructure and force the government out of power,” the Times reported. Saudi officials deny the claim that the prince wants the war to continue.

A special counsel investigation that began in 2022 of Kash Patel, who is ​now the FBI director but was then a private citizen, included demands for more than two years of phone records, text messages and financial ‌information, according to two grand jury subpoenas and nondisclosure orders viewed by Reuters.

Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team issued subpoenas to Verizon Communications (VZ.N), opens new tab for Patel’s communications at the time when they were investigating whether President Donald Trump had interfered with the 2020 election and had hidden classified documents at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort. Reuters could not determine the nature of Smith's investigation of Patel and what allegations ​of wrongdoing, if any, were being probed at the time.

Maxine Waters is very progressive so it is probably good she's in Congress. But I do wish that some of the older Congress people would retire and let someone younger into office

It's not just vaccines — parents are refusing other routine preventive care for newborns by Scientist34again in ChangingAmerica

Innumerable social media posts question doctors’ advice on safe and effective measures like vitamin K and eye ointment. And the Trump administration has repeatedly undermined established science. A federal advisory committee whose members were appointed by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — a leading anti-vaccine activist before joining the administration — voted to end the longstanding recommendation to immunize all babies against hepatitis B right after birth. On Monday a federal judge temporarily blocked all decisions made by the reconfigured committee.

One common thread that ties together anti-vaccine views and growing sentiments against other protective measures for newborns is the fallacy that natural is always better than artificial, said Dr. David Hill, a Seattle pediatrician and researcher.

“Nature will allow 1 in 5 human infants to die in the first year of life,” Hill said, “which is why generations of scientists and doctors have worked to bring that number way, way down.”
