They could also reshape congressional representation and federal funding allocations. Millions of residents could be excluded from the U.S. census, congressional representation could be reshaped and federal funds could be reallocated across states under changes proposed by the Trump administration. In the proposal posted to the federal register Wednesday, the Census Bureau suggested adding a citizenship question to the decennial questionnaire, which President Donald Trump has wanted since his first term. The proposal argues that the census count should exclude any undocumented immigrants and noncitizens without permanent residency because they are “not true inhabitants, members of the body politic, or...

In the 1970s, psychiatric diagnoses were marked by considerable uncertainty and disagreement. Since then, organizations such as the American Psychiatric Association and the World Health Organization (WHO) have worked to develop standardized diagnostic criteria that psychiatrists around the world can use.These efforts have shaped modern psychiatry by establishing common, criteria-based systems for diagnosing mental disorders across institutions and national borders. However, a new study, led by researchers at the University of Copenhagen, suggests that major challenges remain. In the study, 1,038 psychiatrists and physicians working in psychiatry from 19 countries were presented with nine written patient case descriptions. Each participant...

Rise Collective, a late-term abortion business in Boulder, Colorado, which reorganized under a new banner after the retirement of well-known, late-term abortionist Warren Hern, is following in Hern's footsteps. The business offers "injection only" abortions (feticide to kill the baby) through 34 weeks of pregnancy, which some experts claim can place women at risk. The woman is then advised to see her physician to deliver the dead baby, which some speculate may amount to insurance fraud. But this idea isn't new. In a 2024 New Yorker interview, Hern himself stated that he had lethally injected a preborn child with a...

When Britain confirmed last September that it would recognize a Palestinian state, it was pulled in the wake of France, which had signaled a few months earlier that it planned to take the symbolically freighted step. On Tuesday, almost a year later, Britain was the one to seize the initiative. The British government announced, followed by France and Canada, that it would stop trading with Jewish settlements in the West Bank. It went so far as to accuse some settlers of engaging in the “ethnic cleansing” of Palestinians. This diplomatic sequencing speaks partly to domestic politics in each country. Last...

They want to make sure everything works perfectly." The unusual scene unfolded after Marine One rolled to a stop near the presidential aircraft, with Trump remaining aboard the helicopter, and the slide could be seen extending from the plane. The White...

Cute parody song called Lake America

In a few days, America will be marking the twenty-fifth anniversary of 9/11. The observances will be muted here, because it's too sad: we lost the war, not only in the narrow military sense (the Taliban are back in power in Kabul, etc), but in the broader defeat represented by the post-Motoon surrender on free speech, the nightly invasions by Muslim men of English and Continental ports, the ugly security procedures that now attend the bollard-encircled ancient German Christmas markets, and ultimately the reorientation of the generally useless post-9/11 surveillance state as a tool of domestic control. As I wrote...
