We’re deeply mired in a serious crisis that is touching all of us and growing worse. It is virtually ignored by our elected officials and popular media—but for their efforts to bury it. It’s a health crisis that encompasses an epidemic of chronic and acute diseases, an explosion in disorders related to Covid and Covid vaccines, historic levels of mental illness, and more young people than ever afflicted by brand-new diseases or those previously unheard-of in children.
We could fix these emergencies, but they are nowhere to be found on the national agenda set by our health agencies and major political figures. They’re too busy spending your tax dollars on their own priorities.
Their priorities include deflecting from the crisis by feeding us a steady stream of propaganda and misinformation. Creating a market for, selling, and defending medicine. And smearing anyone who stands in the way. Why they do this, contrary to all of our best interests, is at the heart of this book. Learn more here.
WASHINGTON D.C. - Volvo on Wednesday announced that it is dropping its goal of making only electric vehicles by 2030, saying it now expects it will still be offering some hybrid models as part of its lineup at that point.
The Swedish company, which has China's Geely as its largest shareholder, and other automakers have seen slowing demand for EVs as price-conscious car buyers turn to hybrids and gas-powered vehicles over affordability concerns as well as access to charging stations.
Volvo and other EV makers are also bracing for the impact of European tariffs on electric cars made in China, a move that follows similar steps in the U.S.
In a statement, the company said it is aiming for 90% to 100% of its 2030 global sales volume to consist of fully electric EVs and plug-in hybrids, with the remaining zero to 10% of its lineup allowing "for a limited number of mild hybrid models to be sold, if needed." Click here to read more.

NEW YORK, NY - (NewsNation) —The city of New York has given 150 migrant families up to $4,000 each to leave city shelters and move into permanent housing as part of a grant program using “leftover” city funds.
The program called Asylee Moveout Assistance was launched in December with little public exposure and attention and is modeled on a similar city grant program that provides up to $4,000 for residents of city shelters to help pay for moving costs called “enhanced one-shot deals,” reported Gothamist.
The one-time grants have been provided to asylum-seeking families and pregnant women who live at 62 emergency Department of Homeless Services shelters and have secured their own permanent housing, city spokesperson Neha Sharma told the outlet.
The funds are coming from “leftover” money from existing budgeted Department of Homeless Services contracts with nonprofit shelter operators, who also run the grant program, Sharma said, according to the outlet. Click here to read more.

DALLAS, TX - Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued the populous Bexar County on Wednesday, alleging its governing body planned to illegally mail out voter registration forms to residents who did not ask for them.
Paxton said recipients of the voter registration applications could include people who are ineligible to vote, such as noncitizens, and that mailing them the forms could increase the risk of voter fraud in the election.
“This program is completely unlawful and potentially invites election fraud. It is a crime to register to vote if you are ineligible,” Paxton said in a statement.
Bexar County includes San Antonio and is one of Texas’s Democratic strongholds. While former President Donald Trump won Texas overall by nearly six points, President Joe Biden won Bexar by 18 points.
In the complaint Paxton filed against the Bexar County Commissioners Court, the Republican state attorney general noted that the court voted to authorize spending hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars for Civic Government Solutions to send the voter registration applications out to Bexar residents.
