For the fourth time, the Trump administration has called off a scheduled meeting of one of the nation’s most influential public health advisory panels. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, which normally meets three times a year, has not held an in-person meeting since March 2025.

The independent panel reviews the latest medical research to determine which screenings, medications, and preventive services are most effective at reducing the risk of illnesses such as cancer, diabetes, and HIV. Its recommendations shape the standard of preventive care across the country and determine what many health insurance plans are required to cover for millions of Americans.

Repeated cancellations mean those evidence-based recommendations are delayed, affecting preventive healthcare decisions nationwide.

This is great news for the anti-education, anti-proven medicine, anti-science crowd.

The rest of us, who use common sense, will follow established as well as new medical recommendations from our medical professionals.

This is unbelievable. A new lawsuit states that the Trump administration shared the names and immigration records of Iranian asylum seekers with the Iranian government, allowing Iranian officials to identify people they wanted returned. According to the lawsuit, this coordination took place before the U.S. went to war with Iran and included asylum seekers who were political dissidents or LGBTQ+ individuals who had fled persecution. This means people seeking safety in the United States had their personal information shared with the very government they were trying to escape. This puts them at risk of imprisonment, torture, or worse if deported.

“No more trade with Spain, please. Including visits. Watch them come running back”.

Every fucking day this POS is embarrassing. Still proud of your vote, ‘Murikkka? And JD Byryder or Lil Marco are our saviours? Holy fuck balls!

If you’re from Spain and here for WC, you might want to self-deport.

Trump: "We have an aircraft carrier which is one of the most beautiful in the world. It's one of the biggest, the Abraham Lincoln. And a few months ago...we had 111 missiles shot by the Islamic Republic of Japan."

I loved the reporter that asked how he was praising the Iranians when the MOU was enacted several days ago and now he says they are evil, etc.

What a fucking dumbass. Such a fucking embarrassment

Feel the swirl. It’s still a long, long way down. From LFAA:

After the U.S. resumed bombing Iran yesterday evening, Iranian forces retaliated early this morning with strikes on U.S. military facilities in Bahrain and Kuwait.

In Ankara, Türkiye, for a NATO summit, President Donald J. Trump told reporters that Iranian leaders are “scum. They’re sick people. They’re led by sick people, and they’re, they’re vicious, violent people,” Trump said in his comments earlier Wednesday. “Far as I’m concerned, it’s just a waste of time dealing with them. They’re liars.… There’s something wrong with them. They’re cuckoo. As far as I’m concerned, [negotiations are] over.”

The U.S. then launched another round of strikes on Iran to “further degrade” its “ability to threaten freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.”

Oil prices spiked over the course of the day, and Trump appeared to walk back his earlier words, saying: “I think anything that happens is going to be over very quickly, and we’ll only make it safer, including for oil. Oil is going to be very free, very easy, and it’s going to happen very fast. We have the Hormuz Strait; the boats have pulled out. I mean there’s a gusher of oil right now, we have a lot of oil.”

As Tom Nichols noted in The Atlantic, the U.S. emphatically does not have the Strait of Hormuz. “Iran, Not Trump, Is in Control of This War,” the title of Nichols’s article reads. It goes on to say that the Iranians are calling the shots in the war and “are routinely humiliating the American president.” The so-called ceasefire was likely intended to calm oil markets, Nichols says; neither side ever stopped shooting.

Like many other observers, Nichols noted that Trump was “incoherent” in Ankara. He referred to Iran as the “Islamic Republic of Japan” and referred to Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky as “President Putin.” In an off-with-their-heads! moment, he also announced he had ordered Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to cut off all trade with Spain.

According to Humeyra Pamuk and David Latona of Reuters, Trump repeatedly complained about Spain, whose leftist prime minister Pedro Sánchez refused to let the U.S. use its bases or airspace to attack Iran even though Spain has been dramatically increasing its NATO spending. Trump then told Bessent: “I don’t want to do any more trade with them, alright? Don’t even talk to them. They’re hopeless. They’re bad people.... They make so much money with us, and we’re going to see that they make a lot less. I want no business with them.”

As economist Paul Krugman notes in his newsletter, cutting off trade with Spain is simply not going to happen. First of all, Trump does not have the authority to do any such thing. Second, the U.S. actually does a lot of business with Spain, and American businesses would not accept any such cuts. But even more, it is impossible because Spain is part of the European Union. As Krugman notes, this declaration is rather like Europe declaring it is going to cut off all trade with Florida.

Trump’s declaration is a “non-event,” Krugman notes. It is “not something that is real.”

What we should take from it, he says, is that the statement was “completely crazy.” “In any kind of normally functioning political system,” he said, “in any kind of normally functioning party environment we would have a massive bipartisan call across the aisle, across almost everybody except for a handful of members of congress who are themselves crazy, to say okay this guy is non compos mentis. We cannot leave the fate of the United States or the world in the hands of somebody who is completely irrational, who is making demands and believing himself to have powers that he does not.”

Illinois governor J.B. Pritzker agrees. He reposted Trump’s reference to the Islamic Republic of Japan with the comment: “Donald Trump is suffering from dementia. Someone needs to step in before it’s too late.”

Meanwhile, Jack Detsch and Paul McLeary of Politico reported that European officials at the NATO summit reacted to Trump’s announcement of new attacks on Iran just a day after he had praised Iranian leaders with the recognition that they can no longer rely on the United States.

A European official told the Politico reporters: “After seeing what’s happening in Iran and Ukraine, we first of all, have to build our own military might, and then everybody will respect us: Americans, Russians, Iranians or Chinese. The more muscles you have, the less political anger you show.”

A German official was more succinct: “Europeans don’t take Trump seriously any longer.”

Meanwhile, Steven Rattner of MS NOW noted today that Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and Trump’s sons have raised about $13 billion in investment capital from foreign governments, mostly in the Middle East, even as Kushner is working for Trump as special envoy to the region.
