Forbes: Here’s The Full List Of Trump's Reciprocal Tariffs Announced Wednesday
President Trump announced a comprehensive tariff package affecting over 180 countries, introducing "discounted reciprocal" tariffs that vary by nation. Key trading partners, including the EU and UK, are preparing responses amid concerns of escalating trade tensions.

The Western Journal: Three GOP States Find 300,000 Bad Voter Registrations Along with Hundreds of Non-Citizens Registered to Vote
Three Republican states—Missouri, Idaho, and Iowa—have identified and removed nearly 300,000 problematic voter registrations, including deceased individuals and non-citizens. Missouri alone eliminated over 18,000 deceased voters and more than 133,000 inactive registrations.

The need for comprehensive voting security reform is emphasized as essential for maintaining the integrity of elections.
Front Page Magazine: Please, AOC, Save the Democrats (and Run Against Schumer)
Rep. Jasmine Crockett has suggested that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer may be vulnerable to a primary challenge from the left, reflecting a growing divide within the Democratic Party. She and others in the progressive wing, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, are pushing for a more radical agenda, distancing themselves from moderates.
This internal conflict highlights a potential shift towards more extreme policies, with calls to replace established leaders with figures who align more closely with far-left ideologies. The article argues that such a move could alienate mainstream voters and ultimately lead to a backlash against the party.

The Democratic Party's approval rating has plummeted to 27%, following significant electoral losses in 2024. Donald Trump made notable gains among Hispanic and Black voters, while Democrats have aligned with extreme leftist movements, prioritizing globalism and open borders over mainstream concerns.
In response to their electoral challenges, Democrats have escalated aggressive rhetoric and actions against opponents, including violent threats and attacks on figures like Elon Musk. This shift towards extremism and hostility may be indicative of their internal struggles and declining influence.

The Trump administration has suspended $210 million in federal grants to Princeton University amid an investigation into allegations of antisemitism on campus. Princeton President Christopher Eisgruber confirmed the funding freeze and stated the university's commitment to fighting antisemitism while defending academic freedom.
The investigation stems from a civil rights complaint filed by a Campus Reform editor, claiming Princeton failed to adequately address antisemitism following the October 7 Hamas attacks. This funding pause follows similar actions against other Ivy League institutions like Columbia and Harvard.

Breitbart: Peter Schweizer: Following the Money on RFK's Top Targets, Pharma Ads & Soda
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., head of the Health and Human Services department, is targeting both pharmaceutical ads and the use of food stamps for sugary drinks as part of his "Make America Healthy Again" initiative. His push to ban soda purchases through SNAP is facing opposition from the beverage industry and the Agriculture Department.

The debate extends to pharmaceutical advertising, which is prevalent on U.S. television, raising concerns about consumer health and the influence of media companies that profit from these ads.
Fox News: Sugar substitutes can cause brain changes that increase appetite, study says
A study from the University of Southern California found that sucralose, a common sugar substitute, may increase hunger by activating the hypothalamus, particularly in individuals with obesity. This suggests that artificial sweeteners could confuse the brain's signals regarding hunger and fullness.
The research indicates that unlike sugar, sucralose does not elevate hormones that promote a feeling of satiety. While the study has limitations, experts recommend caution with noncaloric sweeteners, suggesting they may lead to increased cravings over time.
