The Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement is a wild card ahead of this year's midterm elections.
President Trump and parts of the Republican Party have aligned his Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement with MAHA and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., hoping to boost GOP prospects.
MAHA helped give Trump an important ally in Kennedy, a longtime Democrat before he endorsed Trump and joined his administration. That gave Republicans access to a new group of voters, which could be key to helping lift the party in a year where Trump's ratings are underwater. |

The Trump administration has put its full backing behind whole milk, with new dietary guidelines explicitly recommending full-fat dairy products and President Trump signing a bill to allow schools to serve whole milk again. And while the focus may seem abrupt, it reflects a growing discourse over our understanding of fat consumption.
The updated 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) mentions full-fat dairy or whole milk five times as recommended foods, recommending three servings a day and lumping it in with healthy fats like olive oil and omega-3-rich seafoods. |

President Trump announced Saturday that he will implement a 10 percent tariff on Denmark and its European allies starting next month, ratcheting up the pressure in his bid to acquire Greenland. "We have subsidized Denmark, and all of the Countries of the European Union, and others, for many years by not charging them Tariffs, or any other forms of remuneration. Now, after Centuries, it is time for Denmark to give back — World Peace is at stake!" Trump wrote on Truth Social. |

Sens. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) on Saturday slammed President Trump's new 10 percent tariffs on Denmark and European allies, saying the tariffs will hurt the U.S. and divide NATO if the president takes Greenland by military force. "This response to our own allies for sending a small number of troops to Greenland for training is bad for America, bad for American businesses, and bad for America's allies," Tillis wrote in a post on the social platform X. "It's great for [Russian President Vladimir] Putin, [Chinese President Xi Jinping] and other adversaries who want to see NATO divided." |

European leaders on Saturday said the trade deal with the U.S. and the European Union is on hold after President Trump announced new 10 percent tariffs on Denmark and other European countries over his growing rhetoric to acquire Greenland. President of the European People's Party (EPP) Manfred Weber said that while there is approval over the trade deal, it will not be approved "given Donald Trump's threats regarding Greenland." |

President Trump's power over the Federal Reserve will be front and center at the Supreme Court next week. The justices on Wednesday will hear arguments on whether Trump can fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook over accusations of mortgage fraud. Looming over it all is the Justice Department's criminal investigation into Jerome Powell, the Fed's chair, which came into public view last weekend. |

The U.S. military conducted a strike in northwest Syria on Friday that killed an Al-Qaeda leader with ties to an alleged ISIS gunman who killed three Americans in an ambush last month, according to U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM). CENTCOM on Saturday identified the deceased leader as Bilal Hasan al-Jasim, an "experienced terrorist leader" with "direct ties to the ISIS terrorist responsible for an ambush which killed two U.S. service members and an American interpreter" in Palmyra, Syria, last month. |

A federal judge on Wednesday temporarily blocked the Trump administration from withholding tens of millions of dollars in funding for Minnesota's food stamp program amid widespread claims of fraud. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins directed Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) in a letter last month to recertify the eligibility of nearly 100,000 households in four counties within 30 days or risk losing federal funding from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. |

Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D) called for unity and pledged to "work tirelessly" for Virginians as she was sworn in as the Commonwealth's first female governor on Saturday. "It is the honor of my life to stand before you and take the oath today," Spanberger said as she stood on the steps of the Virginia Capitol, wearing an all-white suit in an apparent nod to the suffragettes' movement. |

OPINION | Millions of small businesses are discovering that the emergency fiscal help they relied on in 2020 came with a long tail of unintended consequences.
When COVID-19 halted commerce, the Small Business Administration's $387 billion Economic Injury Disaster Loan program was billed as a lifeline. The plan sounded reasonable: low interest rates, long repayment terms, fast relief. In practice, it became a mismatch between government math and business reality. |
OPINION | Having grown up poor in a blue-collar Irish-Catholic neighborhood in the heart of Boston, I have long been a fan of Chris Matthews.
While working at the Reagan White House as a writer in the late 1980s, I read two books multiple times. The first was Donald Trump's book "The Art of the Deal." The second was Matthews's book, "Hardball." I kept rereading Trump's book because it was like getting an advanced degree on how business is conducted in the real world. The same goes for Matthew's book regarding the world of politics. It was brilliant, and it has held up well. |

In November 2002, President George W. Bush signed a bill creating a federal agency devoted to protecting the United States. The country was still reeling from the Sept. 11 attacks on New York and Washington, and the threat of international terrorism permeated public life.
Among the agencies that would be included in the Department of Homeland Security, as it would be called, would be Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection — the parts of the government most responsible for enforcing federal immigration laws. |
Silicon Valley is filled with all sorts of dreams. But one of those wild-eyed ideas, long debated on subreddits and in hacker houses, is becoming a real-life nightmare: Will the AI boom be the last chance to get rich before artificial intelligence makes money essentially worthless?
The argument is that tech companies (and their leaders) will become a class unto their own with infinite wealth. No one else will have the means to generate money for themselves because AI will have taken their jobs and opportunities. |
Europeans were reeling Sunday from U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement that eight countries will face 10% tariff for opposing American control of Greenland.
The responses to Trump's decision on Saturday ranged from saying it risked "a dangerous downward spiral" to predicting that "China and Russia must be having a field day." |

The Arctic is warming around four times faster than the rest of the globe, exposing natural resources, opening up potential shipping routes and prompting an increase in activity among military powers. The changing landscape has created a region ripe for opportunity and potential conflict — factors that may play a role in President Donald Trump's sudden quest to obtain Greenland.
Though he has called climate change a "hoax," part of the value Trump has described in the Danish autonomous territory's location is a result of the environmental shifts. |
