This action by HHS and RFK Jr is unprecedented in scope.
Never before has the fed. gov. usurped the authority of medical professionals to set a separate standard of care
in an attempt to ban evidence based lifesaving care.

A coalition of 19 states and DC have filed a lawsuit challenging the Kennedy declaration seeking to ban gender affirming care for trans youth by fiat by creating a federal "standard of care" based on pure pseudoscience. https://ag.ny.gov/press-release/2025/attorney-general-james-leads-lawsuit-challenging-federal-attack-gender-affirming

A look at DHS and ICE's social media efforts, which are propelled by the White House's demands to "flood the airwaves" and make use of right-wing influencers (Washington Post)

Inside ICE’s social media machine creating viral arrest videos
Thousands of internal ICE messages show how its public affairs team has coordinated with the White House to satisfy Trump administration demands for viral arrest videos

The first seems underspiced/undercheesed but the second one looks interesting. I am suspicious of any Mac & Cheese recipe that does not require the creation of a proper bechamel-based cheese sauce. The 2 methods here (both basically creating the sauce as part of the bake) make me very nervous.
OTOH, I do like the concept of not fretting over a sauce. I am intrigued by the concept of saucing uncooked pasta before baking… @…

Two of the best macaroni and cheese recipes I’ve ever tried came from a 2006 NYT Food article called “the Winter Cook.” One is a classic mac and cheese casserole with crispy edges. The other is a more unusual creamy mac and cheese casserole that includes cottage cheese and a hint of nutmeg.

Mailbag: Are defensive substitutions a problem? https://www.dallascowboys.com/news/mailbag-are-defensive-substitutions-a-problem

Recently I've traveled next to a person who were apparently studying pseudomedicine while discussing with a friend. She was studying, or rather memorizing, some utter bullshit. She already started practicing too, though she wasn't planning to use homeopathy, because she was afraid to. She complained that her boyfriend (?) didn't take all the supplements she's prescribing him. In her own health problems she stopped taking real medicine already. She also discussed their common friends, making comments related to their Chinese zodiac horoscopes.
No, I'm not going to have an open mind in these matters. And I'm definitely going to speak up when I see that some asshole scammers are making money by creating pseudouniversities and teaching people bullshit.

The offices at John Quackenbush’s lab at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health
were once full of postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and interns.
Young scientists here worked on some of the most cutting-edge computational biology research in the world,
driving new discoveries and the creation of widely used big data tools, including one the National Cancer Institute named among the most important advances of 2024.
Today, the offices are rows of empty comp…

His lab was humming with discovery. After one year under Trump, it’s almost silent
John Quackenbush built a lab that is at the forefront of human genetics research and bioinformatics. Trump administration cuts have put it in danger of collapse.
