If hepatitis B is contracted in infancy there is a 90-95% chance of it progressing in to the chronic form which results in liver cirrhosis and cancer. As few as 16 DNA copies/mL of blood have been shown to be sufficient for transmission.

This administration is pro-homelessness because the threat of homelessness is will keep Americans working in sweatshops for poverty wages www.cbpp.org/press/statem...

During the campaign, President Trump said, “As soon as I get to office, we will make housing much more affordable.” But his budget proposes a devastating cut to rental assistance — which makes rent affordable for 10 million people — reducing funding by $27 billion below the amount provided in 2025 across five programs. This would cause millions of people to lose assistance they need to pay the rent each month, placing them at risk of eviction and homelessness.

These cuts would likely grow even deeper over time, since the budget would also consolidate multiple rental assistance programs into to a block grant that would be more vulnerable to cuts in the future. The budget also would impose a two-year time limit on rental assistance (apparently except for seniors and people with disabilities), a policy that would abruptly evict or end assistance for many low-paid workers and others who aren’t able to afford market rents after that period.

In addition, the budget proposes severe cuts to other housing programs, such as sharply reducing funding for housing and other services for people experiencing homelessness, cutting housing resources for Indigenous people, and eliminating funding for local agencies protecting people from housing discrimination and other fair housing violations, and block grants that fund affordable housing and community development at the local level.

This is not something the President can decree. Reporting like this makes it seem as if Trump has more power than he does. He does not have the power to do this. His wishes and obscene desires are not, in fact, policy. He’s just talking— essentially braying at the moon like an enraged wolf.

Have we talked enough about how the New York Times broadcast the views of a Holocaust denier with zero pushback from its columnist? Is the paper going to investigate antisemitism in its own building? www.nytimes.com/2025/05/01/o...

This concern that you’re articulating to me is very vague. I don’t actually know what you’re worried about. People have been questioning these narratives for a long time. David Irving has been challenging the Holocaust for a long time. Is it better to not have those conversations? I don’t think it is. I think we should just let it out. It can exist in the world.

Douthat: This is the last thing I’ll say. You started out talking about your sense — I think you would put it this way — that there was anti-white racism at work in progressive politics and culture in the last five or 10 years.
