    YouTube ^ | 4/3/25 | Patrick Rooney
    Dr. Robert Marbut has consulted with more communities and organizations on issues of homelessness than anyone else in the USA. He is a disruptor who understands that the status quo approaches have not been working, and there is urgent need to help communities change how they address homelessness in order to successfully reduce homelessness. Dr. Marbut has worked on issues of homelessness for more than three decades: first as a volunteer, then as chief of staff to San Antonio Mayor Henry Cisneros, next as a White House Fellow to President H.W. Bush (41, the Father), later as a San Antonio...

  • Trump's surprisingly simple tariff math

    Axios ^ | April 3, 2025 | Neil Irwin
    One of the surprises out of Wednesday's big tariffs announcement was that the Trump administration used a surprisingly simplistic approach to calculating these much-hyped reciprocal tariffs. Why it matters: This was not a finely tuned set of import taxes calibrated to exert pressure on trading partners to adjust specific policies with which the U.S. has grievances. Rather, it was some simple arithmetic, based on overall trade data, that became the justification for the most sweeping U.S. duties in generations — a trade-weighted 22.5% tariff, per the Yale Budget Lab, up from around 2.4% last year. It implies fewer off-ramps for...

    Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha says more pressure must be exerted on Russia to agree to a peace deal as he meets NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte stressed on Thursday that any ceasefire or peace deal to stop the war in Ukraine must be "lasting". "I commend of course the American efforts to break the deadlock, that is important. We have to make sure that whenever a ceasefire or a peace deal is reached that it is enduring, that it is lasting," said Rutte on Thursday. Rutte emphasised that the outcome of this war is...

    Congressman David Schweikert (R-AZ-01) raised an alarm about what he believes is the oncoming fiscal demise of the U.S. in a speech from the House floor. Schweikert explained that a simple series of calculations “point to a shrinking labor force, and lack of young people in our society, and the reality that in 8 years, the United States will have MORE deaths than births,” citing the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). CBO estimates that if the debt limit remains unchanged, the government’s ability to borrow using established "extraordinary measures" will probably be exhausted in August or September 2025. https://t.co/xqAdGulBoX— U.S. CBO...

    President Trump’s immigration policy, like most of his foreign policy, is saturated with references to his campaign slogan “America First,” and a federal judge this week said it shows illegal and racist “animus” toward immigrants.Judge Edward Chen blocked the Department of Homeland Security from revoking a special deportation amnesty for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan migrants, at least in part because Secretary Kristi Noem justified the decision by citing Mr. Trump’s “America First” agenda. Judge Chen, an Obama appointee to the court in Northern California, said the term had an “inference of animus given the historical connotation of that phrase.”...

U.S. District Judge Mary McElroy, appointed by Trump in 2019 but first nominated by former President Barack Obama, in Rhode Island said Thursday that she plans to grant the court order sought by 23 states and the District of Columbia.“They make a case, a strong case, for the fact that they will succeed on the merits, so I’m going to grant the temporary restraining order,” said McElroy, who plans to issue a written...

The bill passed the Senate with a vote of 28 to 5, with one member absent. “This important legislation is designed to protect life in West Virginia and stop the practice of abortifacients being sent and...

    On Monday, U.S. District Court Judge Anne Traum lifted the 1991 injunction barring enforcement of Nevada’s requirement that parents be notified when their minor children seek an abortion. In a 27-page decision, Judge Traum ruled in Glick v. Ford that the parental notice provision will go into effect on April 30. Melissa Clement, Executive Director of Nevada Right to Life, which provided vital financial support for the litigation, said “For 40 years, young girls have been exploited in secrecy, their suffering ignored while those in power turned a blind eye. Today, that silence is broken. Parents will finally be involved,...

    A bone-chilling document declassified by the CIA has exposed an alleged massacre by aliens from a crashed UFO who turned an entire military unit into stone. According to the report, Soviet troops shot down a flying saucer hovering over the Soviet military unit in Siberia roughly 35 years ago, and what happened next was truly terrifying. In the document, summarizing a 250-page top secret file acquired by US intelligence agents, eyewitnesses said five aliens climbed out of their wrecked craft, combined themselves into one creature, exploded in a burst of intense energy, and turned 23 soldiers into solid rock.

    Ultra-processed foods are dominating much of what Americans eat. (Rimma Bondarenko/Shutterstock) Study shows the shocking impact that processed foods have on the body — and how a traditional African diet could add more healthy years to your life. In a nutshell * Just two weeks on a Western diet can trigger inflammation and weaken immune responses, even in healthy young adults. These changes may persist weeks after returning to a healthier diet. * Switching to a traditional African heritage diet rich in plant-based, minimally processed foods significantly reduced inflammation, supporting its protective role against chronic diseases. * A traditional fermented...

    A young woman who went into A&E crying woke up to discover her leg had been amputated after she waited 16 hours for surgery. Molly Harbron, 26, said she was in 'a lot of pain' as she made her way to Dewsbury and District Hospital in West Yorkshire. The former carer's foot and leg were left numb and discoloured by blood clots and she knew 'something wasn't right'. But Ms Harbron has now been handed a six-figure payout as doctors admitted they probably wouldn't have had to chop her leg off if she'd had surgery by 9pm the same day....

    “Rampant copper wire theft” is plunging Los Angeles into darkness, leading city officials to install solar-powered streetlights as a fortification measure. Critics say undaunted thieves will just steal the valuable solar panels. They also wonder why Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is focusing on making infrastructure harder to steal instead of addressing theft itself. “This installation is a result of Mayor Bass’ focus on improving city services and infrastructure for Angelenos by finding innovative and new ways to solve longstanding city challenges like rampant copper wire theft,” said Bass’s office in a statement. “Solar lighting disrupts the cycle of vandalism...
