CNN — Trump emergency management officials are discussing reforms that would make it much harder for communities to qualify for federal disaster assistance, honoring President Donald Trump’s executive order to shift more responsibility for disaster response and recovery to states rather than the federal government. A memo from acting FEMA administrator Cameron Hamilton, a Trump appointee, obtained by CNN, outlines a long list of recommendations for Trump to follow that could drastically reduce the number of emergency declarations the president approves and the amount of federal assistance doled out to cities and states hit by natural disasters. Such a change…
CNN — Measles could become endemic in the United States if routine childhood vaccination rates continue to decline, with up to 51 million illnesses over a 25-year period, according to a new study. Although the disease is endemic in some other countries – meaning it happens regularly within an area or community – it was declared eliminated in the US in 2000 because of vaccination efforts with the highly effective measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine. Nearly 900 measles cases have been recorded in the US this year, with more than half of states reporting at least one case, according to a CNN…

CNN — President Donald Trump has expressed some interest in the idea of giving new parents a $5,000 “baby bonus,” and a new CDC report shows the US fertility rate is hovering near a record low as younger people rethink parenthood. But there is also a disconnect between the vague idea of spending taxpayer money to spark a baby boom and the drastic cuts in government spending and mass deportations the Trump administration is actively pursuing.

New York CNN — America’s largest companies say President Donald Trump’s erratic trade policies are leading consumers to spend less on airline tickets and burritos, raising costs for businesses and making it impossible to plan future investments. PepsiCo, American Airlines, Chipotle, IBM, Procter & Gamble and other companies announced quarterly earnings this week, giving investors their first public comments on the impact of Trump’s tariffs. They all signaled that the import taxes are hurting consumers and the economy. “We expect more volatility and uncertainty, particularly related to global trade developments, which we expect will increase our supply chain costs,” PepsiCo…
CNN — In an abrupt reversal, the US Department of Health and Human Services said Thursday that it no longer plans to cut funding for the Women’s Health Initiative, a groundbreaking research project focused on preventing disease in older women. The move comes after a wave of concern and criticism about the threat to the longstanding study. For decades, the initiative – conducted by the National Institutes of Health – has tracked the health of tens of thousands of women to understand how to reduce the risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis and more in women after menopause. Seminal findings…

Buenos Aires, Argentina CNN — Pope Francis never returned to his native Argentina after he became head of the Roman Catholic Church. But some of the faithful here believe he sent a final message home, in the unlikeliest but perhaps most appropriate of ways. Francis was a lifelong soccer fan — and occasional youth goalkeeper — and a card-carrying member of his favorite club, San Lorenzo. And it’s the number on that card that’s become the talk of Buenos Aires. “It has to be destiny,” said Ramiro Rodríguez, who arrived wearing a rosary over his team shirt at a small…
Editor’s Note: Elon Musk gave Republicans hundreds of millions of dollars to retake control of Washington, DC. President Donald Trump gave Musk the job of dismantling much of the federal government. This is Part 2 of an in-depth, contemporaneous look at the first 100 days of Trump’s second term. CNN — When the man in black charges onstage swinging a chainsaw while he whoops and hollers, the moment could be mistaken for a scene from “The Hunger Games.” The screaming crowd makes it seem even more so. “This is the chain saw for bureaucracy!” Elon Musk shouts, grinning behind dark…
CNN — It’s perhaps a bad day for President Donald Trump when even Fox News is suggesting things may not be going so well. The president took aim at Rupert Murdoch and two of his media holdings on Thursday after Fox News published a poll highlighting Americans’ concerns about inflation and economic uncertainty resulting from Trump’s chaotic tariff rollout. In a late morning Truth Social post, the president burned Murdoch, Fox News, and the Wall Street Journal, saying that the nonagenarian media mogul “has told me for years that he is going to get rid of his FoxNews, Trump Hating,…
