TLDR: No. But it's worth diving into the data here to see how far off-course this administration has drifted, from day one.

We Can’t Give Up on Ending School Shootings The suspected shooter in last Saturday’s Brown University attack, also the suspected murderer of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor killed on Monday, has been found dead. The discovery ...

Gun violence on school property has exploded since 2016. Why aren't we doing more to stop it? My latest for @opinion.bloomberg.com - gift link www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

NIH Grant Cuts Aren't Saving Money. They're Wasting It. The Trump administration says the canceled funding is about cost efficiency, but data shows that the opposite is happening.

This gets more likely every day that Trump is allowed to defy a court order to bring Abrego Garcia home.

Trump’s tariff equation is nonsense, says @johnauthers.bsky.social. Here’s why 🎥

Cory Booker’s record breaking speech. A decisive victory Wisconsin. An uphill battle in Florida. Are Democrats showing signs of life?

The Surprising Power of Simply Asking Coworkers How They’re Doing A recent EY survey found that more than 40% of U.S. respondents reported feeling physically and emotionally isolated in the workplace. This group spanned generations, genders and ethnicities. People…

People feel a greater sense of belonging when their colleagues check in with them regularly.

For example: St. Jude's will lose nearly $40 million a year in research funding, says Charles Roberts, director of the St. Jude Comprehensive Cancer Center. “This will likely mean fewer new treatments will get to children and therefore that more children will die,” he says.

Trump NIH Cuts Will Devastate US Research and Communities Science, medicine and Americans’ access to high-quality care will be impacted by $4 billion budget cut.

MAGA’s Driving Force Is Christian Nationalism Evangelical votes have mattered to the GOP for decades. But not like this — and not with such extreme views.

You are going to be hearing a lot about Chrisitian nationalism over the next 4 years. What it is and how it took over the GOP: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

What Happened to Black Lives Matter’s Momentum? The criminal justice system still needs reform. But the movement’s energy has dispersed.

What happened to the momentum of Black Lives Matter? A sustained attack from the right, a war in Gaza, and waning attention from white liberals. @franciswilkinson.bsky.social reports: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Fire-Ravaged Altadena Attracts Real Estate Vultures Eyeing Deals Danielle Neal is a fourth-generation resident of Altadena who saw the house she grew up in and the home she rented burn down in the wildfires that swept through Los Angeles County.

Didn’t take long.

“Real estate vultures are circling the middle-class community of Altadena and other burned out parts of Los Angeles, hungry to turn a profit from fire victims still struggling with where they’ll live and how they’ll rebuild their homes and lives.“ www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

In Trump’s Fantasy World, Fish Set Fire to Los Angeles Activists and scientists hoped that once more people experienced the dangers of the climate crisis firsthand, they’d be compelled to act. That’s not working out.

A whole bunch of people on the Other Web Site apparently think the LA wildfire is because of a tiny fish ... or space lasers? www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Keen to get Bluesky's thoughts on a question I'm hoping to tackle in a column. What does America lose if TikTok is banned?

Zuckerberg Wears $900,000 Watch to Announce End of Meta Fact Checks Mark Zuckerberg wore a rare Swiss watch worth about $900,000 in a video explaining his company’s decision to end third-party fact checking on its social media platforms in the US.

The Supreme Court Should Stand Up for Transgender Teens The court's conservative majority appears inclined to uphold a ban on treatment these adolescents need. That’s wrong.

A lot of misleading and downright wrong information made it into yesterday's SCOTUS argument over trans health care. @lisamjarvis.bsky.social responds with actual facts: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Two years in, generative AI’s value to the world is still unclear.

A Third Woman Died Under Texas’ Abortion Ban. Doctors Are Avoiding D&Cs and Reaching for Riskier Miscarriage Treatments. Thirty-five-year-old Porsha Ngumezi’s case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.

Each one of these deaths is so unbearably sad -- and infuriating. And preventable. www.propublica.org/article/pors...

Want Your Best Workers to Quit? Make Them Come In Every Day Amazon, the Washington Post and — if Elon Musk gets his way — the government, are demanding employees return to the office full-time. It will backfire.

Putting in place a 5-day RTO policy to push some workers to quit is a terrible idea -- you'll just lose the talent that is the most employable (my latest for @opinion.bsky.social) www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Sarah McBride Knows How to Handle the GOP’s Anti-Trans Bullies The first transgender member of Congress issued a classy, dignified reply to attacks by her new Republican colleagues.

How to Pay for Million-Dollar Cures New gene therapies for sickle cell will test whether the US health-care system can afford to deliver miracles for the many, not just the few.

How will we pay for the amazing cures scientists are discovering for rare diseases? @lisamjarvis.bsky.social has convinced me we need business model innovation as mind-blowing as our scientific innovation. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/feat...
