Shingles is awful, but there may be another reason to get vaccinated. It may fight dementia
By LAURAN NEERGAARD Updated 10:26 AM CDT, April 2, 2025 WASHINGTON (AP) -- A vaccine to fight dementia? It turns out there may already be one - shots that prevent painful shingles also appear to protect aging brains. A new study found shingles vaccination cut older adults' risk of developing dementia over the next seven years by 20%. The research, published Wednesday in the journal Nature, is part of growing understanding about how many factors influence brain health as we age - and what we c ...

Trump Administration Explores Costly Option For Greenland Takeover: Report
Apr 2, 2025, 09:58 AM EDT The Trump administration is exploring a can-you-top-this financial maneuver if it were to obtain Greenland, The Washington Post reported on Tuesday. The newspaper wrote that one option in a White House cost analysis of a takeover is to essentially “offer a sweeter deal” to the semi-autonomous Danish territory’s government than Denmark does.

Republicans reel as Dem over-performances hit a swing state and MAGA country
(Politico) Republicans emerged from Tuesday’s elections on shaky footing. Over the past 10 weeks, President Donald Trump and Elon Musk have worked to hobble the federal government, pummel into submission the country’s most powerful independent institutions and enact a sweeping nationalist agenda with little regard — and often disdain — for political norms and the Constitution itself. And they’ve done so with near-universal support from the GOP in Washington. Then the voters got the chance to speak.

Adam Schiff places hold on Ed Martin's nomination to be D.C. U.S. attorney
(CBS News) President Trump's controversial choice to be the top federal prosecutor in Washington, D.C., Ed Martin, faces an uncertain future, as a Senate Democrat plans to put an indefinite hold on his nomination. Martin, a "Stop the Steal" advocate and former defense attorney who represented U.S. Capitol riot defendants, is Mr. Trump's nominee to be U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, and Sen.

Waltz and staff used Gmail for government communications, officials say
(Washington Post) Members of President Donald Trump’s National Security Council, including White House national security adviser Michael Waltz, have conducted government business over personal Gmail accounts, according to documents reviewed by The Washington Post and interviews with three U.S. officials. The use of Gmail, a far less secure method of communication than the encrypted messaging app Signal, is the latest example of questionable data security practices by top national security officials already under fire for the mistaken inclusion of a journalist in a group chat about high-level planning for military operations in Yemen.
