        Not to pile on, but while we’re tallying transgressions against ex-U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who was fired by President Donald Trump recently, we should not forget the often-overlooked death of another American citizen who was killed by an ICE agent under her watch.

            The Case for Expanding Access to Weight-Loss Medications | Alison Sexton Ward

              Alarmed by rising rates of obesity, public health officials have urged Americans for decades to eat better, move more and make healthier choices.

                The rapid adoption of GLP-1 weight-loss medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy and Zepbound represents one of the most striking cultural shifts in weight management I’ve witnessed in nearly 30 years of studying and writing about body image.

                      Politicians are trying to control the press | New York Times

                        The shadow of press repression is spreading around the world.

What started as a crackdown first by dictatorships and then by illiberal democracies is expanding to onetime bastions of civil liberties.
