In fact, the messaging so far has been largely the opposite: The White House has attempted to paper over the severity of the bombshell revelation, even though President Donald Trump and his administration have long claimed to have no tolerance for anything that could jeopardize national security.\n\nThe scandal was revealed when Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, published a March 24 article in which he said he had been added to a chat on the messaging app Signal that involved 18 high-ranking administration officials, including Hegseth and national security adviser Michael Waltz. The group chat included details about an attack on Houthi rebels in Yemen that has since been carried out, including times, types of aircraft, and targets. The Atlantic reported that the National Security Council authenticated the text chain.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nSome of the messages were set to automatically delete one to four weeks after they were sent, a function that must be manually turned on by the creator of the chat, even though the Federal Records Act requires officials to preserve their communications.\n\nIt was an objectively stunning leak. But the White House raced to downplay the report.\n\nTrump has said Waltz, who added Goldberg to the Signal group, “learned a lesson.” Waltz himself echoed the idea that there had been “lessons learned” when he appeared on Fox News, and admitted: “We made a mistake.” He also said, “We’re not going to use Signal anymore.” (Politico reported last week that there are at least 20 Signal chats that officials use to discuss sensitive foreign policy work.)\n\nOfficials have painted the whole incident as a somewhat unremarkable error, with several brushing off what it meant that information about a military operation had been shared in the venue and delving into the semantics of whether it was classified.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nTrump and his allies in the Republican Party are known for loudly clamoring for probes — and punishment — when it comes to the handling, or alleged mishandling, of sensitive information by their perceived enemies. In 2016, a cornerstone of Trump’s presidential campaign was going after opponent Hillary Clinton for her use of a personal email server while she was secretary of state. (The FBI investigated her, and she was never charged with any wrongdoing.)\n\nMore recently, just 10 days before Goldberg published his report, Gabbard devoted an entire thread on X (formerly Twitter) to the need to stop leaks that can compromise national security. She specifically lamented leaks that come from “within” the intelligence community.\n\nEven if the information in the chat was not technically classified, some experts told HuffPost that does not change how risky the conversation was: Sensitive details about a strike that had yet to occur were shared on a messaging platform that could have been infiltrated by political adversaries or hackers.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nIt remains to be seen what, if any, punishment those involved in “Signalgate” may face. But legal experts and former members of the military said the U.S. has a long history of unequal punishments when it comes to security breaches and information leaks — and high-ranking officials are actually the ones who are most likely to avoid reprimand.\n\n‘Need-To-Know’\n\nIt’s unclear how much appetite there actually is for consequences, or even answers, within the administration.\n\nPreviously, FBI Director Kash Patel declined comment to Congress when asked if he would open a probe into the incident, and Attorney General Pam Bondi expressed scant interest in pursuing an investigation. During a press conference at the Justice Department, she instead offered commentary about Clinton, former President Joe Biden and Hunter Biden. (Both Clinton and Joe Biden came under investigation for their handling of classified documents, but were never charged.)\n\nAdvertisement\n\nBut the administration is not the only channel by which the public can get answers.\n\nThe public watchdog group American Oversight is suing the administration, alleging violations of the Federal Records Act. The group says the Signal chat amounted to a secret back channel, and the judge overseeing the lawsuit has ordered the Defense Department to preserve all records as the case plays out in Washington, D.C. A status hearing in federal court is slated for this week. American Oversight also filed Freedom of Information Act requests for information on Signal usage at 25 federal agencies.\n\nThe lawsuit over the text leak focuses on retention and transparency. But Liz Hempowicz, deputy executive director of American Oversight, said the whole ordeal also appears to be a “textbook case of what the Espionage Act was written to prevent.”\n\nThe Espionage Act makes unauthorized retention or distribution of sensitive information illegal and is punishable by fines and imprisonment of up to 10 years. Critically, the prosecution of those charges does not depend on whether the information that is disclosed is classified.\n\nAdvertisement\n\n“If a junior enlisted service member had leaked strike plans to unauthorized recipients, they’d already be in custody,” Hempowicz said. “But when it’s a Cabinet official, the White House shrugs — and history suggests that will be the end of it.”\n\nAlaina Kupec, a retired U.S. Naval Intelligence Officer with experience planning strategic missions in Yemen and Iran, said her time in the military taught her that the type of information Hegseth disclosed is generally only shared on a strict “need-to-know basis” in order to protect the mission. Not everyone on the Signal chat, especially aides (not to mention Goldberg, who apparently no one realized was in the group), would need to know the precise timing of strikes, she said.\n\nHegseth and Waltz have defended the use of Signal for their group discussion, citing a need to move quickly. Typically, classified or sensitive information is disclosed in what is known as a SCIF, or a sensitive compartmented information facility. SCIFs are rooms that are kept secure and private, often with some sort of guard or official who has assessed the space for outside surveillance. Communications are classified and then are passed through SCIF devices. Calls, including group calls, can be held on secured lines, and a secure email system is also available.\n\nAdvertisement\n\n“Before planes take off, that circle should be closed as tightly as possible, whether it’s time-sensitive or not,” Kupec said. “There is a government system created for them to communicate on. … Even if Signal is encrypted, there’s no system that isn’t plagued by eavesdropping concerns.”\n\nShe said the claim that officials were in a rush sounded like an excuse.\n\n“As I read the chat, at the end of the day, this was the secretary of defense showing off to his friends that he knew information and he wanted to look cool. That’s all that was, pure and simple. That was his first time dealing with something very sensitive and he was giddy and excited and sharing it with his friends,” Kupec said. “Like a child on a school ground having this secret he wanted to share with his friends. You just don’t share that level of information with that broad of an audience in an insecure way.”\n\nKupec said not everyone could act so carelessly without significant consequences.\n\n“Had that been me, as a junior officer who did that, my career would have been over and I would have been prosecuted. Without question,” she said.\n\nAdvertisement\n\n‘Different Spanks For Different Ranks’\n\nModern history has shown that there is indeed a disparity in how people at different levels are treated when they go against protocol or leak sensitive information.\n\nRetired Major General John Altenburg, the former designated senior ethics official for the Army and a former prosecutor with decades of experience in national security and oversight matters, said there are often “different spanks for different ranks” in the military.\n\nIn the case of Signalgate, he said he was “no apologist” for anyone involved in the chat. But a leaker’s intent can make a big difference in how they are prosecuted or punished, Altenburg told HuffPost.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nHe noted that both Waltz and Hegseth have said that looping in Goldberg was an accident and an error, and therefore he doesn’t believe the Espionage Act — which does not differentiate between accidental and intentional leaks — should apply.\n\n“Once the strikes occurred, it was OBE, or overcome by events,” he said. In other words, once the strikes happened, any concern that Hegseth may have jeopardized national security or inadvertently exposed U.S. interests was a moot point.\n\nBut in other cases involving the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information, even when disclosures were made well after the relevant missions were undertaken or military strategies were deployed, the federal government has extended stiff penalties. And while not every case of leaking can be compared one-to-one, it is notable, Hempowicz said, how often “high-ranking officials face minimal consequences, if any.”\n\nAdvertisement\n\nTake, for example, the case of Daniel Hale, a former U.S. Air Force intelligence analyst who leaked top-secret documents to a journalist about America’s drone strike program in Afghanistan after he left the military in 2013.\n\nIt had been his job to track and coordinate drone killings of enemy combatants, but what he saw was the rampant, often indiscriminate killing of civilians caught in drone crosshairs. Hale’s attorneys said he leaked top-secret information out of altruism, not to boost his ego or glory.\n\nThe U.S. government didn’t see it that way. It charged Hale under the Espionage Act for disclosing information without authorization. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to four years in federal prison.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nNow consider James Cartwright, the former vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during President Barack Obama’s first term. Cartwright was accused of leaking top-secret information to reporters at Newsweek and The New York Times about a joint cyberwar attack mission being led by the U.S. and Israel against Iran’s nuclear facilities. Details about the operation ended up in a journalist’s book. The government said Cartwright lied to investigators when asked whether he had discussed classified details of the operation with another reporter. Emails showed that he had, prosecutors said, but after a lengthy investigation, he was never charged for disclosing information without authorization.\n\nBut he wasn’t charged under the Espionage Act. Instead, he was charged with making a false statement. He pleaded guilty to lying and insisted his “only goal in talking to the reporters was to protect American interests and lives.”\n\nCartwright remarked in 2016 after pleading guilty: “I love my country and continue to this day to do everything I can to defend it.”\n\nAdvertisement\n\nProsecutors sought two years imprisonment for Cartwright. His defense attorneys asked for a year of probation plus community service. In 2017, Obama pardoned him before he could be formally sentenced.\n\nMeanwhile, former intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning spent seven years in prison after she was convicted of sharing state and diplomatic cables with WikiLeaks and its founder Julian Assange. Manning would have been in prison for 35 years, as prosecutors recommended, but her sentence was commuted in 2017. Assange was hit with over a dozen charges under the Espionage Act and pleaded guilty last year to receiving and publishing secrets. As part of his plea deal, he was allowed to return home to Australia without serving time in the U.S.\n\nContractors and analysts like Reality Winner and Henry Frese have been sent to prison for leaking sensitive information to the press. Winner, who leaked a top-secret report about Russian meddling in the 2016 election, was sentenced to five years in prison but was released after two years on good behavior. Frese, once a civilian counterrorism consultant for the Pentagon, was sentenced to a little under three years in prison after he was convicted of sharing sensitive secrets about foreign weapons programs with reporters, one of whom was a girlfriend he was trying to impress, according to his lawyers.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nAlternatively, in the case of one high-ranking official, former CIA Director David Petraeus, Petraeus avoided Espionage Act charges altogether after he was investigated for disclosing classified information to his biographer, with whom he was also having an affair. Petraeus gave his biographer access to binders packed with sensitive and classified information including old military strategies and notes on discussions with the president.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nAround that same time, John Kiriakou, a former CIA counterterrorism officer who exposed the Bush administration’s torture program and revealed the name of a covert agent to a reporter, noted the double standard.\n\nHe had been charged under the Espionage Act and sentenced to just under three years.\n\n“Both Petraeus and I disclosed undercover identities — or confirmed one in my case — that were never published. I spent two years in prison; he gets two years’ probation,” Kiriakou told Vice in 2015.\n\nThis is the paradox that has always plagued the military, Kupec said.\n\n“There’s always a double standard for those that are in higher authority. They have the political connections and capacity to excuse themselves and wash away their sins. The White House considers this case closed on their part but this is why we have a separation of powers. [The White House] should not be the final arbiters of what’s legal or not,” she said." + }, + { + "title": "Supreme Court Lifts Order Blocking Deportations Under 18th Century Wartime Law", + "url": "https://www.huffpost.com/entry/supreme-court-alien-enemies-act-deportations_n_67f459e0e4b0743a1e466f9d?origin=top-ad-recirc", + "text": "LOADINGERROR LOADING\n\nWASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Monday allowed the Trump administration to use an 18th century wartime law to deport Venezuelan migrants, but said they must get a court hearing before they are taken from the United States.\n\nIn a bitterly divided decision, the court said the administration must give Venezuelans who it claims are gang members “reasonable time” to go to court.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nBut the conservative majority said the legal challenges must take place in Texas, instead of a Washington courtroom.\n\nIn dissent, the three liberal justices said the administration has sought to avoid judicial review in this case and the court “now rewards the government for its behavior.” Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined portions of the dissent.\n\nThe justices acted on the administration’s emergency appeal after the federal appeals court in Washington left in place an order temporarily prohibiting deportations of the migrants accused of being gang members under the rarely used Alien Enemies Act.\n\nAdvertisement\n\n“For all the rhetoric of the dissents,” the court wrote in an unsigned opinion, the high court order confirms “that the detainees subject to removal orders under the AEA are entitled to notice and an opportunity to challenge their removal.”\n\nThe case has become a flashpoint amid escalating tension between the White House and the federal courts.\n\nAttorney General Pam Bondi called the court’s ruling “a landmark victory for the rule of law.”\n\n“An activist judge in Washington, DC does not have the jurisdiction to seize control of President Trump’s authority to conduct foreign policy and keep the American people safe,” Bondi wrote in a social media post.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nThe original order blocking the deportations to El Salvador was issued by U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg, the chief judge at the federal courthouse in Washington.\n\nPresident Donald Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act for the first time since World War II to justify the deportation of hundreds of people under a presidential proclamation calling the Tren de Aragua gang an invading force.\n\nAttorneys from the American Civil Liberties Union filed the lawsuit on behalf of five Venezuelan noncitizens who were being held in Texas, hours after the proclamation was made public and as immigration authorities were shepherding hundreds of migrants to waiting airplanes.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nBoasberg imposed a temporary halt on deportations and also ordered planeloads of Venezuelan immigrants to return to the U.S. That did not happen. The judge held a hearing last week over whether the government defied his order to turn the planes around. The administration has invoked a “ state secrets privilege ” and refused to give Boasberg any additional information about the deportations.\n\nTrump and his allies have called for impeaching Boasberg. In a rare statement, Chief Justice John Roberts said “impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision.”\n\nWe Don't Work For Billionaires.

Morgan Chase, made a grim warning about the impact of President Donald Trump’s tariffs, saying they threaten to drive up prices in an already slowing economy and do long-term damage to America’s alliances.\n\nIn his annual letter to shareholders, the head of Wall Street’s biggest bank said a recession is a serious possibility following the aggressive import taxes Trump slapped on China, the European Union and dozens of other countries whose products help keep U.S. consumer goods affordable.\n\nAdvertisement\n\n“The recent tariffs will likely increase inflation and are causing many to consider a greater probability of a recession,” Dimon, one of the most influential figures in the financial services space, wrote. “And even with the recent decline in market values, prices remain relatively high. These significant and somewhat unprecedented forces cause us to remain very cautious.”\n\nTrump may have some legitimate reasons to impose the tariffs, Dimon continued, but in “the short-term, we are likely to see inflationary outcomes, not only on imported goods but on domestic prices, as input costs rise and demand increases on domestic products.”\n\nAdvertisement\n\nThe tariffs present potential retaliation from other countries, wrote Dimon, who said his “most serious concern is how this will affect America’s long-term economic alliances.”\n\n“America First is fine,” wrote Dimon, echoing one of Trump’s rallying cries, “as long as it doesn’t end up being America alone.”\n\nThese potential impacts on the economy would also drive up interest rates, he noted.\n\n“All of these cross currents and turbulence may take years to play out,” he said. “It is almost impossible to confidently put them into a quarterly or even annual forecast.”\n\nAdvertisement\n\nDimon’s letter comes a day after billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman issued a similar warning about the tariffs Trump announced last week, writing on social media that it’s akin to launching “economic nuclear war on every country in the world.” If Trump doesn’t pause the planned tariffs to allow for some negotiations over them, “we are heading for a self-induced, economic nuclear winter, and we should start hunkering down,” Ackman wrote.\n\n“[W]e are in the process of destroying confidence in our country as a trading partner, as a place to do business, and as a market to invest capital,” Ackman added.\n\nWe Don't Work For Billionaires.

It is unclear whether the event would feature heavy military equipment, such as missile launchers or planes, as Trump once desired during his first term.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nThe parade logistics are reportedly still being hashed out but, according to Takis Karantonis, chair of the Arlington County Board in Virginia, the board received a “heads up” from the White House on Friday about the anticipated festivities.\n\nKarantonis told HuffPost in an emailed statement that neither the police nor fire department in Arlington County had received a formal request from the federal government for assistance with any military parade as of Friday.\n\n“Arlington is the proud home of tens of thousands of Veterans, active military and civilian personnel, and the Pentagon. We are a 9/11 community. U.S. Army history is Arlington history,” Karantonis said. “At this time, it is not clear to me what the scope of the parade would look be, but I would hope the Federal Government remains sensitive to the pain and concerns of numerous active military and veteran residents, who have lost or might lose their jobs in recent federal decisions, as they reflect on how best to celebrate the Army’s anniversary.”\n\nAdvertisement\n\nDuring a press conference focused on local businesses in Washington on Monday, a reporter asked D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser whether the administration had contacted her about Trump’s parade.\n\nAt first, the mayor said, “I don’t know if it’s been characterized as a ‘military parade.’”\n\n“Maybe it has. I haven’t been directly involved in it yet. I think it was Homeland Security, maybe the White House, reached out to our special events task force, which is what most people wanting to do a parade do in the District,” she continued. “Yes, they have reached out. I don’t know if it’s being characterized as a ‘military parade.’”\n\nBut moments later, she acknowledged that if the parade starts at the Pentagon in Arlington and works its way into D.C., it would seem to be a “military parade.”\n\nAdvertisement\n\nTrump has long wanted a showy display of military might to descend on the nation’s capital.\n\nAfter he won his first term, Trump wasted no time asking staff at the Pentagon to send him photos of military tactical vehicles he could use for his inaugural parade.\n\nEmails showed the Pentagon was hesitant to comply, citing concerns over exorbitant costs. In the end, he didn’t get his parade, but there was a 20-plane flyover.\n\nPentagon officials said in 2018 that the cost to put troops and tanks in the streets of Washington then was an estimated $92 million. That price tag did not account for the estimated $21.6 million in additional costs to the District of Columbia for merely hosting the event. (Trump had initially said the parade would cost just $12 million.)\n\nAdvertisement\n\nOn Monday, Bowser said if tanks were used in June, it “wouldn’t be good” for D.C. streets but if the administration insisted, then the tanks “should be accompanied with many millions of dollars to repair the roads.”\n\nA White House official said no military parade has been scheduled. It is unclear whether that means the White House is considering one.\n\nCol. Dave Butler, a spokesman for the U.S. Army, told HuffPost in an email Monday: “There hasn’t been a decision yet on whether or not we are having a parade. It is the Army’s intention to hold a national level event to build pride in America’s Army and America itself. June 14th will mark the Army’s 250th Birthday, we want America to celebrate with us.”\n\nAdvertisement\n\nDuring Trump’s first term, he was inspired to plan a parade after attending a Bastille Day event in Paris where France’s jets, tanks and other heavy military equipment were on display.\n\nFormer U.S. military officials noted then that extensive military parades, especially with tanks rolling down U.S. roads, are not really in the American “style.”\n\nWe Don't Work For Billionaires.

Behind the scenes, however, she says she grappled with the possibility that living as her true self would cut her acting career short, given the scarcity of opportunities for trans performers in Hollywood.\n\nFour years later, the Georgia-born actor is in the midst of a career resurgence after shifting her focus to the New York stage. Last fall, she made her Broadway debut alongside Kit Connor and Rachel Zegler in director Sam Gold’s production of “Romeo and Juliet,” breaking box office records. On Monday, she’ll tackle her most complex role to date when her new play, “Becoming Eve,” opens off-Broadway.\n\nAdvertisement\n\n“I wasn’t sure I was still going to be acting after transitioning, even though I knew it was in my blood and in my spirit,” Dorfman said. “Now that I’m acting again, I’m insatiable. As a kid, all I wanted to do was theater, so having that dream realized made the times that were more challenging in the process insignificant. It’s given me an opportunity to reconnect with my voice and my body and my creativity.”\n\nDirected by Tyne Rafaeli and produced by New York Theatre Workshop, “Becoming Eve” is an adaptation of Abby Stein’s 2019 memoir of the same name. It follows Stein ― known globally as the first openly transgender female rabbi from a Hasidic background and an LGBTQ+ rights activist ― as she reflects on her upbringing in an ultra-Orthodox Jewish enclave in Brooklyn, New York, and, later, her marriage and rabbinical ordination.\n\nAdvertisement\n\n“Becoming Eve” begins as Stein ― identified in the play by her middle name, Chava, and played by Dorfman ― is preparing to broach the subject of her gender identity with her stern father (Richard Schiff of “The West Wing”), also a rabbi and descendant of the Baal Shem Tov, the founder of Hasidic Judaism.\n\nTo prepare for “Becoming Eve,” Dorfman and her cast mates ― including Tony winner Brandon Uranowitz and four-time Tony nominee Judy Kuhn ― met extensively with Stein, now a part-time rabbi at a progressive Brooklyn synagogue.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nAnd though Dorfman rarely leaves the stage during the show, playwright Emil Weinstein incorporates life-sized puppets to portray younger iterations of Chava before her transition. It’s an effective and surprisingly poignant choice meant to “articulate this idea of a body and soul in mismatch,” Weinstein explains.\n\n“Part of what the play posits is this idea that we all contain multitudes within us, so there’s something beautiful about watching how hard it is for four people to operate a single body,” he said.\n\nThe off-Broadway premiere of “Becoming Eve” this week feels auspiciously timed, given President Donald Trump’s efforts to roll back LGBTQ+ rights at the federal level. Though the production was originally slated for New York’s Connelly Theater, it was rejected by that building’s landlord, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, in October before landing at Abrons Arts Center.\n\nAdvertisement\n\n“I was really, really disappointed, even if I wasn’t exactly surprised,” Weinstein recalled. “It affirmed a lot of the fears we were feeling in the community as to where we were heading, which was disturbing and scary. But it also made everyone, especially on the producing side, even more passionate about doing the piece.”\n\nDescribing “Becoming Eve” as “inherently political in the way I think all good art is,” Dorfman added: “The politicization of trans people in this administration is inescapable, as are the complexities of being Jewish. My hope is that it cracks open some new ideas about peace, love and forgiveness for anybody who has the opportunity to see it.”\n\nAdvertisement\n\nAt present, “Becoming Eve” is scheduled to run at Abrons Arts Center through April 27. Exactly one month later, Dorfman will unveil her autobiography, “Maybe This Will Save Me: A Memoir of Art, Addiction and Transformation,” in which she chronicles her own path to self-acceptance.\n\nThough Dorfman is tight-lipped about what her next stage and screen projects may be, she says starring in “Becoming Eve” has already been a transformative experience.\n\nEnjoy HuffPost Entertainment — Ad Free\n\nWe're bringing you the exclusives, scoops and hot takes on the news all your friends are talking about.

If I want to run someplace quick and don’t feel comfortable without some makeup, a little of this across the bridge of my nose and cheeks and what a difference! It’s really beautiful.

While some parts of the holiday were better as a kid (spending the morning hunting for candy), one thing I don’t miss is the disappointing taste of certain Easter chocolates. You know the ones — waxy, bland and weirdly crayon-like.\n\nAccording to Erica Gilmour, a chocolatier and founder of Hummingbird Chocolate in Almonte, Ontario, that chalky texture often comes from fillers like palm oil or soy lecithin, a sign that the brand you’ve chosen is cutting costs over creating a creamy, craveable confection.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nHuffPost spoke with experts about the three red flags that may make you reconsider when shopping for Easter chocolates. Here’s what they had to say.\n\n1. Physical Cues\n\nBefore you grab that chocolate bunny, take a second to give it a once-over. A little visual inspection can save you from biting into something disappointing.\n\nAdvertisement\n\n“If the chocolate is dull, soft or cloudy, it may indicate the chocolate is lower quality or not tempered correctly,” said Bill Brown, chief chocolate officer and owner of William Dean Chocolates in Florida. Instead, look for a shiny, almost glossy exterior — this indicates the chocolate has been properly tempered. Not only does it make for a more tempting-looking treat, but tempered chocolate has a smooth, silky texture when you bite it.\n\nWatch out for bright pink or red confections — Red dye No. 3 has been linked to health concerns. “One additive to be on high alert for this year in Easter chocolate is Red dye No. 3,” said Denise Castronovo, a chocolate maker and owner of Castronovo Chocolate in Florida. “The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has banned the use of Red dye No. 3, but food manufacturers have until January 2027 to remove it from their product.”\n\nIf you can get close enough to a bonbon or bar, give it a sniff. “Does it smell like chocolate?” asked Ron Sweetser, a cocoa sourcing and quality manager at Dandelion Chocolates in San Francisco. “It should! Not just sweet.”\n\nAdvertisement\n\n2. Ingredients To Avoid\n\nYou don’t need to be a food scientist to spot bad chocolate — just flip the package over.\n\n“High-quality chocolate has few ingredients [and] cacao (i.e. cocoa beans) is the most predominant one instead of sugar,” Castronovo said. “Dark chocolate only needs two ingredients: cacao and sugar.”\n\nThe same is true for milk or white chocolate. Castronovo explained, “High-quality milk chocolate has four ingredients: cacao, sugar, cocoa butter and milk. High-quality white chocolate should only be made with cocoa butter, sugar, milk and possibly real vanilla.”\n\nAll food products list ingredients in order of quantity, so if sugar or sweeteners come first, the chocolate likely has very little actual cacao. According to Gilmour, this makes for an easy tell: “If sugar or an alternative sweetener are the first or second ingredient, the chocolate does not have very much cacao in it and is low quality.”\n\nAdvertisement\n\nSome mass-market chocolates contain ingredients you’d expect to find in a candle, not a candy bar. Cheap chocolate is often loaded with fillers like vanillin (a synthetic vanilla substitute), paraffin (a food-grade wax) and palm oil — ingredients that help manufacturers cut costs but don’t do your taste buds any favors.\n\nGilmour said, “Any type of palm oil or other oils (aside from cocoa butter) are being used as a cheap filler or alternative to real cocoa butter. This is a sign of a low-quality chocolate.”\n\n3. Suspiciously Low Price\n\nIf you’re scoring a deal and not shopping the after-Easter discount rack, you should be suspicious. While price doesn’t guarantee that you’ll get lower quality, with historically high cocoa prices, chocolate has also gotten more expensive.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nGilmour shared, “Although you can’t trust that chocolate is good quality because it’s expensive, you can be sure that very inexpensive chocolate is not good quality. So a low price is an immediate giveaway.”\n\nWe Don't Work For Billionaires. We Work For You.\n\nBig money interests are running the government — and influencing the news you read.

Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) as “street” while criticizing the congresswoman’s remarks about Attorney General Pam Bondi.\n\nDuring a Wednesday segment of “The Ingraham Angle,” Ingraham and Fox News contributor Raymond Arroyo each took jabs at the representative as they discussed her comments at a House Judiciary Committee hearing earlier that day, in which Crockett accused Bondi of attacking her right to free speech. (Bondi had previously told Crockett to “tread very carefully” when it comes to her criticisms of Elon Musk — and Crockett wasn’t having it.)\n\nAdvertisement\n\nArroyo unabashedly labeled Crockett, who is Black, the “Madea of Capitol Hill” — seemingly a reference to filmmaker Tyler Perry’s famous boisterous Southern character, who is also Black. He also referred to Crockett as a “Desperate Housewife.”\n\nIngraham then said that the congresswoman had communicated in a “very different” way with her during a past interview.\n\n“And now she’s going very ... street,” Ingraham said as she swayed her head side-to-side. “I’ma do this, and I’ma do — it all seems like just a TikTok challenge or something. It’s very odd.”\n\nAdvertisement\n\nPeople have long labeled Black people with anti-Black coded terms like “street” or “ghetto” when the intention is to express something unpleasant — regardless of the target’s socioeconomic class. Those labels are also often used in a classist way to suggest that people living in poverty-stricken areas are inferior and violent, among other stereotypes.\n\nAs Jared Blake, senior producer at MSNBC, said in 2023, the term “ghetto” is often “used to describe something that is of lesser worth.”\n\nAnd the problem with coded terms — like the word “ghetto” — is that\n\n“it’s very difficult to disassociate it from its use to characterize low-income African Americans,” Mario Luis Small, professor of social science at Columbia University, told BBC News in 2016. “Thus, when ‘ghetto’ is used as an insult, it often sounds like a racial insult.”\n\nAdvertisement\n\nPeople on X, formerly Twitter, have slammed Ingraham and Arroyo’s remarks since the segment aired.\n\n“The moment they can’t find a good excuse, they start being racist,” one X user wrote.\n\n“This was filled with so much racial undertones. For a party that hates identity politics it’s always the first thing they go to,” wrote another.\n\nTabitha Bonilla, an associate professor of political science and human development and social policy at Northwestern University, told HuffPost that she thinks it’s disappointing that so much public dialogue — like Arroyo and Ingraham’s Fox News segment — has “decreased in substance,” but has increasingly invoked more “discriminatory and demeaning language.”\n\nShe said that she agrees with those online critiquing Ingraham and Arroyo, adding that their choice to label Crockett as “street” and to reference Perry’s Madea character “feels overtly racist.”\n\nAdvertisement\n\n“Dog whistles tend to be subtle — you only understand them if you know what to listen for,” she said, pointing out that the comedic Madea character is meant to be laughed at and not taken seriously.\n\nThese are “not subtle references,” Bonilla said, adding that their conversation about Crockett’s remarks also felt dismissive.\n\n“There is no question in my mind that Ingraham and Arroyo are inciting racial stereotypes in their characterizations of Crockett,” said Deepak Sarma, Inaugural Distinguished Scholar in the Public Humanities at Case Western Reserve University.\n\nAdvertisement\n\n“In so doing they are, quite obviously, stoking the fears of their (already biased) viewers,” they continued. “I am not surprised and it is similar to the rhetoric put forth by [President Donald] Trump to dehumanize people who are not ‘white.’”\n\nSarma later added: “Using words like ‘street’ is akin to calling her a thug. Ironically, when GOP members such as Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene speak in derogatory ways they are always excused and often lauded.”\n\nMany of Crockett’s critics appear threatened by the way she speaks — and her presence overall, experts say.\n\nCrockett is often ridiculed for the way she speaks. Many of her most ardent critics online spew inflammatory remarks — usually rooted in anti-Black stereotypes — about her cadence or her use of African American Vernacular English (AAVE) by calling her names like “ghetto queen” or “hood rat.”\n\nOthers have made attempts to argue that Crockett is disingenuous because the way she speaks doesn’t align with their views of how a member of Congress or someone who attended private school should speak.\n\nCrockett herself addressed some of these attacks in a TikTok video last month, saying it’s absurd that her critics have said her so-called “accent” is “fake” because she went to private school.\n\nAdvertisement\n\n“I don’t have an ‘accent’ ... if anything it’s Texan, maybe mixed with a little bit of St. Louis,” she said. “And then determining that my ‘accent’ is fake because of the types of schools I went to ... seriously, y’all?”\n\nThe congresswoman said that the outrage over how she speaks proves that there are no real issues her critics could dig up about her.\n\n“By focusing on her expressions they are exemplifying just how deeply entrenched their historically dominant language game, which, is being threatened,” Sarma said about those criticizing the way Crockett speaks.\n\nAdvertisement\n\n“Crockett’s critics are offended by her very existence, and her language is just one part of this,” they later continued. “The rise of MAGA and Trump have revealed that many Americans continue to see Black people as second-class citizens. Blacks in public and prominent positions threaten these derogatory stereotypes.”\n\nWe Don't Work For Billionaires.

Two processes are being studied for their role in aging: one is cell senescence and the other is damage to the telomeres on your DNA.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nIn cell senescence, a cell stops dividing normally and just hangs around, creating inflammatory chemicals that can harm surrounding cells. Telomeres, which are like little caps on the end of your DNA, fray and shorten as you age, which is associated with declining health. Both processes are affected by lifestyle, and can be decreased with good food choices.\n\nWe spoke with four nutrition experts to recommend the top snacks for slowing down the aging process. Here’s what they suggest snacking on.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nRaw Veggies\n\nRaeanne Sarazen is a registered dietitian, chef, culinary nutrition consultant, and author of “The Complete Recipe Writing Guide.” She stressed “the importance of other lifestyle factors besides diet that contribute to healthy aging — that includes exercise, adequate sleep, minimizing alcohol consumption and stress management.” But in terms of foods to snack on, Sarazen recommends snacking on raw veggies.\n\nAdvertisement\n\n“Keep in mind, there’s no magical anti-aging snack, but reaching for whole foods like colorful veggies, which are rich in fiber and antioxidants, can help,” she said. Studies show the nutrients in vegetables prevent cell senescence.\n\nBoiled Eggs\n\nSarazen is also a big fan of nutrient-packed eggs, which are full of protein, vitamins and eye-protecting compounds — all of which can make a difference to your health as you age. “[Boiled eggs] are simple, nourishing and delicious choices,” she said. Eggs are notable for their lutein, which protects eyesight, plus choline, omega-3 fats and protein.\n\nDark Chocolate\n\nAccording to registered dietitian Barbara Ruhs, “Dark chocolate is a delicious anti-aging food thanks to antioxidants, flavonoids and other bioactive components found naturally in plant foods.”\n\nAdvertisement\n\nNot to mention, cocoa flavanols have been shown to slow the progression of dementia and protect brain function.\n\n“To maximize its benefits, choose dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa and consider products that contain other plant ingredients,” Ruhs said.\n\nWhole Grains\n\nPicking whole-grain snacks, like low-sugar granola bars or popcorn, is a great way to protect yourself from aging.\n\nAdvertisement\n\n“Whole-grain snacks are vital for a long and healthy life,” Ruhs said. “Whole grains are a source of dietary fiber, B vitamins and minerals — all of which add years to live and life to years. Look for the word ‘whole’ in the first three ingredients, if not as the first ingredient.”\n\nYogurt\n\nStudies show that consumption of live cultures is positively associated with cognitive ability. “Yogurt cups are a convenient and an economical way to maximize powerful anti-aging nutrients including calcium, vitamin D, magnesium, zinc, B vitamins and probiotics,” Ruhs said. “Consumed for thousands of years, yogurt is a staple in the Mediterranean diet.”\n\nAdvertisement\n\nFermented Foods\n\nRegistered dietitian Maya Feller, founder of Brooklyn-based Maya Feller Nutrition and author of “Eating from Our Roots: 80+ Healthy Home-Cooked Favorites From Cultures Around the World,” recommends eating live-cultured fermented foods, like fermented pickles, sauerkraut and kimchi.\n\n“Fermented food contains spermidine a natural polyamine that plays a roll in balancing the health of cells,” she said. “It’s also involved with improving mitochondrial function, and animal studies have found that spermidine may play a role in longevity.”\n\nDried And Smoked Fish\n\nIn Japanese, Korean and Southeast Asian cultures, snacking on dried anchovies is a popular and tasty way to add calcium and protein to a diet, and if you are unfamiliar with that, you can always try fish jerky or even open a can of sardines.\n\nAdvertisement\n\n“This study looked at all small fish including dried fish and found that eating small fish was significant in terms of cancer risk reduction and all cause mortality in Japanese women,” Feller said.\n\nNori\n\nRegistered dietitian Jill Nussinow said, “Nori seaweed is one of my favorite easy-to-eat and lower-calorie snacks. Sea vegetables contain important minerals, especially iodine.” Studies show that seaweeds have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and can help to modulate aging-regulated pathways.\n\n“I recommend the little packages, called niru or seaweed snacks,” she added. “You can also use large nori sheets to make nori rolls, putting other high-nutrition items inside such as vegetable sprouts and avocado.”\n\nAdvertisement\n\nBerries\n\n“Berries are on my list of foods that help with inflammation, as one of the highest sources of antioxidants,” Nussinow said.\n\nStudies show they have anti-inflammatory effects, which help protect your cells. “People usually think of blueberries but all berries such as strawberries, cranberries, raspberries, blackberries, huckleberries and more, are all important to include daily, if possible,” Nussinow said. “Dried berries are very easy to use and eat, but fresh or frozen work well, too, especially when it’s not truly berry season.”\n\nNuts And Seeds\n\nNuts and seeds have been found to have significant effects on cell health, preventing cell senescence and protecting your telomeres. They also contain omega-3 fatty acids, which slow cognitive decline." + }, + { + "title": "This Trader Joe's Condiment That Was Distributed To 17 States Has Been Recalled", + "url": "https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trader-joes-condiment-recall_l_67ed6345e4b0b937ab8f4358", + "text": "Certain bottles of a condiment distributed to a number of Trader Joe’s locations have been recalled due a “labeling error,” since it does not list “allergen callouts for peanuts, soy, sesame or wheat,” according to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.\n\nTrader Joe’s and Fresh Creative Foods, a food supplier for the grocery chain, announced over the weekend a voluntary recall for the Trader Joe’s Hot Honey Mustard Dressing.

But when faced with an encyclopedia of fish options, it’s hard to know what to choose.\n\nThere’s long been a rumor that when you order tuna at some sushi restaurants, you’re actually just getting a worse-quality fish dyed red with food coloring. So it’s no wonder diners often feel wary when perusing a sushi menu.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nWe spoke to sushi chefs across the United States about what they look for when they order nigiri, sashimi and rolls, plus the biggest red flags to avoid before you pick up your chopsticks.\n\nColor Is Everything\n\nAll of our sushi experts agreed that the color of the fish is the No. 1 indicator that something’s not quite right. For chef Takeshi Ikeuchi, executive chef of Morimoto Asia in Disney Springs, Florida, it’s the first thing you should consider before taking a bite. “Diners should avoid anything that is dull or discolored,” he said.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nChef Masatomo “Masa” Hamaya, culinary director of O-Ku and Junto in Bentonville, Arkansas, confirmed this is the biggest dealbreaker. He explained, “When it comes to any kind of fish, when you see the color changing or any discoloration, it’s a red flag because it’s oxidizing, which isn’t a good sign.” Once a fish oxidizes, it begins to break down fatty acids and turn rancid.\n\nIt Shouldn’t Look Dry\n\nFish should have a natural sheen and luster, like it’s straight from the dock to your dish. Mitsuhiro Eguchi, corporate sushi chef at Nobu Chicago, said, “Dry fish means there is a loss of freshness.” The same goes for the rice. Eguchi said, “If the rice is too hard or dry, that means the balance is off. That’s a sign of poor rice quality.”\n\nIt Should Smell Like The Ocean, Not Like Fish\n\nThere’s nothing worse than a fishy smell emanating from atop your rice. However, sushi chefs note there is a major difference between an “ocean” smell and a “fishy” smell.\n\nHamaya said, “Fish should exude the flavor of brine or the ocean. If you’re tasting the ocean, it’s full of umami because most fish have umami, and that’s normally a great sign. If it’s more fishy-fishy, then it’s about to be rotten.” And if the restaurant itself smells fishy, then it’s time to turn around and find a new sushi spot.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nIt Actually Shouldn’t Be Cold\n\nYou may think a cold piece of fish means it’s being properly refrigerated, but it’s a big sign the sushi chef isn’t a pro. Eguchi said, “Good sushi is served at a warm, human-touch temperature.” If there is a mismatch in temperature between the rice and the sushi, that’s how you know the chef’s sushi skills may not be up to par.\n\nAlways Judge The Display Case\n\nPerusing the clear display case stocked with fish is part of the fun of going out for sushi. But chefs urge you to take a good long look at the products inside to decide the freshness and quality of what’s being served. “A well-organized display case and fresh-looking fish with a natural sheen are good signs,” Eguchi said. If the display case is left open for long periods or looks messy, it’s a sign the chef may not be taking hygiene and organization seriously.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nCheck Out The Actual Restaurant\n\nThe cleanliness of the actual restaurant was another unanimous must from the sushi chefs we spoke to. “Restaurant cleanness is definitely among the most important aspects when ordering sushi. It shows the chef values the condition of his restaurant and the quality of the dining experience for guests,” said chef Masa Shimakawa at Soko in Santa Monica, California.\n\nEguchi added, “When I’m checking out a sushi place, I pay attention to a couple of things. First, how clean is the counter? And what about the chef’s hygiene? If the chef is constantly wiping their hands, I feel much better about the food.” No one wants food poisoning or, worse, a trip to the hospital.\n\nTop Ordering Tips\n\nWe’ve shared a lot of red flags and “don’ts,” but our experts have plenty of “do’s” for picking the best type of fish next time you’re out for sushi. Eguchi’s go-to is maguro (lean tuna) because it’s simple yet fundamental. He said, “Freshness and handling directly affect the taste.”\n\nAdvertisement\n\nTuna is also a favorite of Shimakawa. “I love to order different cuts of tuna, as this is a great indicator of the quality of a restaurant. A good sushi restaurant always has high-quality tuna available,” he insisted.\n\nWe Don't Work For Billionaires.

It has a lengthy preparation process, including a marinating period in vinegar, and can be difficult to execute well,” he said.\n\nWhen Hamaya orders sushi, he switches between a classic tuna nigiri and mackerel or sardines because “sushi chefs always cure them,” he said. “In order for them to cure it correctly, some sort of technique is required. The way chefs cure is different from chef to chef, and I can tell by eating their mackerel or sardines just how great their culinary technique is.”" + }, + { + "title": "The Most Reviewer-Endorsed Items On Amazon To Get Rid Of All Your Aches And Pains", + "url": "https://www.huffpost.com/entry/best-amazon-products-for-aches-pains_l_67edb7f1e4b0a2e93c20034f", + "text": "" + }, + { + "title": "Experts Say A UV Mattress Vacuum Can Help Disinfect Your Mattress", + "url": "https://www.huffpost.com/entry/clean-disinfect-mattress-germs-ano_l_67f04271e4b0bb67eb7af890", + "text": "This Handheld Tool Can Make Your Disgusting Mattress A Little Cleaner\n\nPart vacuum, part UV sanitizer, this cleaning device can help reduce allergies and kill germs in your mattress.\n\nIt’s accurate to assume that germs are lurking everywhere in your home, but your mattress is one particular place that harbors untold microorganisms that many of us prefer not to think about.\n\nIn fact, mattresses are more disgusting than you might ever have imagined, according to Manal Mohammed, a medical microbiologist and senior lecturer at London’s University of Westminster.\n\nAdvertisement\n\n“An average mattress can have thousands of dust mites that produce millions of droppings,” Mohammed said. She explained that these mites feed on particles like dead skin cells, saliva, sweat and even wayward food crumbs.\n\n“Many people can develop allergies to dust mite droppings,” Mohammed said. “And after prolonged exposure, some people, especially those with asthma, might develop severe symptoms and complications.”\n\nIt’s not just dust mites that you might be sharing a bed with. Due to how prone mattresses are to moisture and warmth, Mohammed warned against fungi, mold, viruses and bacteria such as E. Coli, MRSA and other serious contaminants that pose real risks to our health.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nBefore you throw your mattress to the curb in advance of the recommended six-to-10-year time frame, Mohammed said there are some steps you can take to reduce the number of germs that you’re exposed to, including using a mattress-designated vacuum with a built-in UV sanitation light. Although she didn’t cite any model in particular, we found a highly reviewed mattress vacuum on Amazon that fits her guidance.\n\n“Vacuums with ultraviolet radiation will sanitize your mattress by killing germs [because] UV light will break apart their nucleic acid so they cannot reproduce and will subsequently die,” Mohammed said, adding that this step should be done at least once a month and can be especially important if you have allergies or pets.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nThe Housmile lightweight handheld mattress vacuum at Amazon claims to offer a powerful suction specifically designed to attract dust and mites, plus a drying function for eliminating bacteria-causing moisture. The device uses a twice-activated carbon filter and a HEPA filtration system, which Mohammed said is an important requirement when looking for mattress vacuums.\n\nThis vacuum cleaner has also been outfitted with a UV light, a method that, according to some studies, is proven effective in reducing pathogenic microorganisms in the way that Mohammed described.\n\nOf course, there are supplemental ways you can keep your mattress clean. Mohammed recommended things like bathing before going to bed, investing in a mattress cover that you can wash on a regular basis, avoiding eating in bed and changing your sheets and bedding once every two weeks.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nA complete germ-free existence is not realistic (nor entirely necessary), but hopefully by following Mohammed’s advice you can rest easier knowing that your exposure is as reduced as possible, at least when it comes to your mattress. Keep reading to learn why some reviewers believe this mattress vacuum helped them do just that, or read even further to shop a list of some other great bed vacuums with similar germ-fighting features.\n\nPromising Amazon reviews:\n\n“I love this thing. I didn’t really know how to clean the couch other than a sticky roller and I am paranoid about sharing vacuums that are also used on the floor. I have had this for a few weeks and am really pleased. You can see particles collecting immediately. It passes smoothly over surfaces and isn’t very heavy. There is a button to be pushed for the roller to rotate so be sure you have that on. I was unsure if the UV light was functioning at first but it is a very dim light you can see through the collection chamber if you look closely. I believe it only comes on when flush to a surface. It takes a minute to heat up but I also like that feature for germ killing. The filter is easy to remove, rinse and replace into the collection bin. In addition to the couch I have also used this on pillows, mattress, chair and comforter. This product helps me feel more comfortable.” — Aubrey\n\n“I was skeptical, but desperate. I started to have really bad allergies which led to purchasing air purifiers, but I felt like there was more I could do. I saw a TikTok about this product and figured it wouldn’t be a bad thing to try. I have a cat and dog, so I was expecting to see a lot and I sure did! I’ve used this on pillows, mattresses, couches, rugs and have noticed a significant difference with my allergies! It picked up the small dust and allergens that I needed gone! I also have long hair, which is very easy to get off the rotating barrel inside - I’d recommend vacuuming first before using this product.” — Joelle V\n\n″This product has really made a difference in my battle with my allergies! I really thought that using a regular vacuum on my mattress and sheets was a good thing but this bed vacuum really made a difference and almost embarrassed me as I saw what it was picking up. Now I use it daily! In addition, I’m no longer waking up with itchy eyes and stuffy nose. I’m still taking meds and all other precautions and not claiming this to be a “miracle cure” but it’s really made a difference not only for me physically but mentally as well, as I’m now feeling that I’m taking the extra step and it’s making a difference.

HuffPost spoke to hair experts, including trichologists and a hair stylist, to learn all about split ends, including what causes them, how to prevent them, and what to do if you have them.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nWhat are split ends?\n\nTake a look at the ends of your hair. If you notice that they’ve frayed or split into two or more parts, you have split ends. The root cause? According to Kerry E. Yates, trichologist and founder of Colour Collective, split ends occur when the protective outer cuticle of the hair is compromised. “Without this protective layer, the inner cortex becomes exposed, causing the hair to weaken and separate at the ends,” she said.\n\nSara Hallajian, a Los Angeles-based trichologist, said there are four different types of split ends. A basic split is a “Y-shaped split where the cuticle has begun to separate,” she said. A feather split is when there are multiple splits along the same strand, indicating severe cuticle damage. A tree split refers to several small splits coming from one point, often due to extreme dryness. Finally, a knotted split is when a single strand forms a knot, which Hallajian said is common in curly or coily hair types.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nWhat causes split ends?\n\nThere are several factors that can contribute to the damaging of the outer layer of hair. Unsurprisingly, heat styling is a culprit. As Yates explained, excessive heat from styling tools like flat irons, curling wands and blow dryers can weaken hair, leading to split ends. (Not to mention, the exposure to high temperatures strips hair of its natural moisture, making it dry.)\n\nAdvertisement\n\n“When heat is too intense or used too often without protection, it can literally cook the hair from the inside out, causing the cuticle to crack and exposing the inner cortex — this breakdown makes hair more prone to fraying, breakage and split ends,” Yates said.\n\nWhile all hair lengths can get split ends, if you have a shorter style, you’re likely less prone to them due to the frequent trimming you get to keep up your style. This removes damaged ends before they have a chance to fray, Yates said.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nAll hair types (straight, wavy, curly, coily) are prone to split ends, too. “The degree to which someone experiences split ends depends on their hair routine and exposure to damaging elements of heat styling and harsh chemicals,” said Paulina Raciborski, a hair stylist at NYC The Team hair salon.\n\nSplit ends can also be caused by mechanical or chemical damage. Mechanical damage refers to damage that occurs due to physical stresses put on the hair. This can be anything from rough brushing, wearing tight hairstyles often or using hair accessories that pull on the hair. “All of these factors weaken the hair over time, creating damage that leads to split ends,” Raciborski said.\n\nChemical damage, on the other hand, occurs when hair treatments like coloring, lightening and hair relaxing break down the hair’s natural structure, making the hair dryer and weaker. “Both types of damage — mechanical and chemical — wear down the protective cuticle and increase hair fragility,” Raciborski said.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nCan split ends be “sealed”?\n\nThe short answer: No, split ends cannot be sealed. “Split ends are the splitting of one single hair shaft, and when there’s internal hair shaft damage, nothing can seal it,” Hallajian explained. The only real treatment for split ends is to get them cut. Raciborski recommended getting a trim every eight to 12 weeks to prevent split ends but noted that if you frequently heat style or get chemical treatments, getting a trim every six to eight weeks is ideal.\n\nWe Don't Work For Billionaires.

Incorporate deep conditioning masks into your routine one to two times a week, limit heat styling and tight hairstyles, and brush the hair gently, especially when it’s wet (as this is the time when hair is the most fragile)." + }, + { + "title": "Can Orgasms Make You A Better Parent?", + "url": "https://www.huffpost.com/entry/can-orgasms-make-you-a-better-parent_l_67e6a8d5e4b086a4e8de577f", + "text": "LOADINGERROR LOADING\n\nIt was a typical weekday afternoon when Catherine S., a mother of four and part-time office clerk, decided to start taking her pleasure seriously. “I was stressed, tired … and didn’t feel like making dinner,” she recalled. Glancing over her calendar, she felt even worse.\n\n“It wasn’t that I didn’t love my life, because I did,” she added. “It was just becoming obvious that I needed to do something to feel a little better.”\n\nAdvertisement\n\nSo she started listening to spicy podcasts during her work commutes. Soon, she felt inspired to put her own erotic pleasure on her to-do list. “My goal wasn’t to have orgasms, exactly, but I gave myself 15 minutes with my vibrator once a week, which is how I [climax] easiest,” she said.\n\nCatherine nearly skipped her first session due to a headache. But when her phone alert sounded, she raced to her bedroom and went for it. “My headache was better after [my orgasm],” she said, “and so were my moods.”\n\nNow, several months of weekly sessions later, she often anticipates the practice as much as her morning coffee. The most dramatic benefit, she said, came as a surprise: “Orgasms have made me a more patient, less stressed out, and more loving mom.”\n\nAdvertisement\n\nResults like Catherine’s aren’t surprising to sexuality experts. While orgasms can’t alleviate all parenting-related challenges, they offer a range of advantages worth embracing.\n\nMore Pleasure, Less Stress\n\nOrgasms flood your system with feel-good chemicals like dopamine and oxytocin, explained board-certified sexologist and sex coach Lanae St. John. “Basically, they’re a shortcut from wired and overwhelmed to calm and content,” she said. “If stress has you clenched up like a fist, an orgasm is the unclench … the kind that makes you think, ′Why don’t I do that more often?’”\n\nIf you do up the frequency, even better. “When orgasms become a regular part of your routine, they’re not just reactive stress relief — they’re proactive emotional maintenance,” she said. “Think of it like watering your nervous system. Don’t wait until the plant’s wilted.”\n\nAdvertisement\n\nEmotional Regulation And Patience\n\nIt makes sense that erotic releases help Catherine feel more patient with her kids. Beyond stress relief, orgasms can guard against a short emotional fuse.\n\n“Orgasms help regulate the central nervous system, calming you down,” said Nicolle Dirksen, a sex and couples therapist and clinic owner at Clover Counseling. “This can help you respond to parenting challenges with a calmer, cooler head.”\n\nAdvertisement\n\nImproved rest from orgasms may help your emotional health, too. A study using Fitbit technology showed that women who orgasmed before bed slept longer than women who didn’t. Given that sleep loss interferes with the parts of your brain that regulate your moods, more sleep can mean fewer angry, anxious and irritable moods.\n\nModeling Body Positivity And Self-Love\n\nWhile your little ones obviously won’t be around for your orgasms, they can benefit from any emotional strength they facilitate.\n\n“Kids are sponges, soaking up all of the vibes you give off — even, sometimes, those feelings you hold about yourself,” Dirksen explained. “Prioritizing your own pleasure can help reinforce positive feelings about your body, which means you can model for your children self-love and a positive relationship with your body.”\n\nAdvertisement\n\nCatherine feels that her orgasmic play is bolstering her body confidence, and that her kids reap benefits. She especially appreciates that her nonbinary teen, who recently went through appearance-related bullying, will increasingly see “someone who’s unafraid to be in their body … without looking like a model.”\n\nImproved Partner Connection\n\nIf you’re coparenting with a sexual partner, shared orgasmic forays may deepen your bond, according to Dirksen.\n\n“Regularly orgasming with a partner increases and improves intimacy and connection, two things that [tend] to decline once you become parents,” she said. “This increased connection can help remind you that you’re teammates, something that can be super important during those tougher days of parenthood.”\n\nAdvertisement\n\nCatherine and her husband often feel like “sliding doors,” she said, given their contrasting schedules. When she told him about her orgasm sessions, they decided to plan occasional pleasure dates. “We may or may not have sex,” she said, “but we make time, even 20 minutes, to connect … where we both get to have pleasure.”\n\nWhen Pleasure Feels Out Of Reach\n\nPrioritizing your pleasure can be challenging while child-rearing. And your mindset can play a big role.\n\n“Parenting often comes with a lot of guilt … especially about anything we think might be self-serving,” Dirksen explained. “Self-pleasure feels like a luxury, saved only for the perfect circumstances: enough time, privacy, energy … things parents have very little of.”\n\nAdvertisement\n\nTo turn that around, she suggests a reframe: “Focusing on and prioritizing your kids’ needs makes you a great parent. But making time for your own needs and pleasure is also a sign of a great parent.”\n\nAnd when time runs scarce, incorporate delight into the mundane. “Wear something that makes you feel sexy or listen to music that moves you while you wash the dishes or do the laundry,” she said. “Savor your morning coffee, distraction-free.”\n\nGiving Yourself Grace (And Pleasure)\n\nLastly, don’t stress if sex doesn’t appeal to you like it used to, which is common during baby years and for moms (and any parents) who bear the brunt of caregiving. That may change as your kids gain independence or you gain support. Regardless, there’s no sexual epitome to strive for.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nFor many parents, it’s challenging to “switch seamlessly between the roles of caregiver and sexual being,” according to Jillian Amodio, a licensed therapist and author. “It’s OK to be exactly where you are, to explore the ‘why’ behind these changes, and, if desired, to take steps toward reconnecting with your sensual self in a way that feels authentic to you.”\n\nWe Don't Work For Billionaires.

Sometimes it’s three minutes of quiet. Sometimes it’s dancing in the kitchen. Sometimes it is a quick solo sesh before bed, because you know it’ll help you sleep.”" + }, + { + "title": "This ‘Normal’ Advice Is Secretly Making Parents Feel Like Failures", + "url": "https://www.huffpost.com/entry/worst-parenting-advice_l_67db274de4b0bf3b3e87a237", + "text": "LOADINGERROR LOADING\n\nIn the self-checkout, my 3-year-old son Joey insists on helping me scan our groceries. He moves in slow motion, his tiny hands fumbling with the bag of clementines, the fruit snacks, the milk. The line behind us is growing. I can feel the weight of impatient eyes, hear the exaggerated sighs.\n\n“We have to hurry up, Joey. People are waiting,” I say, reaching for the next box he’s trying to grab.\n\nAdvertisement\n\n“I can do it by myself,” he screams.\n\nI check my frustration, taking deep breaths with a clenched jaw as we make our way through the last few items. When we finish, an older man walking past smiles at us and says, “I miss that age. All mine are grown. Enjoy every minute — goes by too fast.”\n\nI smile, but in that moment, the last thing I feel is enjoyment. Instead, I feel like I’m failing. Like I’m missing something that other parents seem to have — some endless supply of patience, some innate sense of ease, some certainty that they were born for this role. And that I wasn’t. At least, that’s how it feels.\n\nBut not every moment is like this. There are plenty that fill me with joy, moments that remind me why this love is so deep, so all-consuming. Like when Joey grabs my face with both hands, presses his nose to mine, and whispers, “I love you, Mommy.” Or when he climbs on top of our dog, Sundae, giggling as he asks me to take a photo. When he belts out “I’m Still Standing” from “Sing,” his tiny pointer fingers stabbing the air to the beat, completely lost in the music.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nAnd my favorite — when he asks me to rock him to sleep. We listen to the playlist I started when I was pregnant, and he fades away to the same sounds he’s heard since before he was born. These are the moments I wish I could freeze. These are the moments I feel I’m right where I belong.\n\nOne night, after a particularly rough bedtime battle, I found myself at my desk, my face buried in my hands as I choked back tears. My fingers traveled under my hair and I yanked hard, as if trying to scalp myself — peeling away a version I’m ashamed of, a version I can’t stand. I was reliving 10 minutes ago — me snapping at my restless little boy, raising my voice, frustrated he wasn’t lying down as I asked. I saw his face change, his lip moving into a pout. I heard his fragile voice tell me, “You’re making me sad.”\n\nAdvertisement\n\nHis words echoed in my mind, and the feeling I got inside my body was how I imagine it must feel to wake up during surgery because your anesthesia ran out. I could feel them slicing through me — going deeper and deeper and deeper.\n\nI was destroyed. Crippled with shame of my actions, hating myself for the hurt I caused him. And I thought: Maybe I wasn’t meant to be a mother. What kind of mother yells at her kid for not wanting to sleep? He deserves so much better than me.\n\nThe guilt was suffocating. I should go back in, I told myself. I should apologize, kiss his forehead, whisper in his ear that I love him so much. But I didn’t move. Because I didn’t feel like I deserved to. Like I didn’t deserve his forgiveness. Like I didn’t deserve him. Because in that moment, I felt like the worst mother in the world. So I sat there, stuck in my own self-hatred, convinced that I was failing at the most important thing I will ever do.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nIn therapy, I confessed this to my counselor, Meaghan Grabowski, who at this point feels like the only person I can be brutally honest with about these types of feelings. When I interviewed her for this story, she shared some advice.\n\n“How is it possible to enjoy every moment of anything, let alone something so challenging and complex as parenting?” she asked. “That being said, the fact that you feel guilt about it is extremely normal.”\n\nGrabowski says difficult emotions do not equal bad emotions. “Do we say the same thing about our careers? About school? About marriage? Every experience comes with challenges, and it doesn’t do anyone any good to deny the reality of those challenges.”\n\nAdvertisement\n\nAnd yet, mothers are held to a different standard. “It’s supposed to be the most important, most amazing, most fulfilling thing that you do,” Grabowski said. “We don’t give that same messaging to fathers. Mothers are somehow supposed to make everything about their children and also not make everything about their children, which is an impossible contradiction.”\n\nThat contradiction breeds shame. When someone tells me to “enjoy every moment,” what I hear is: If you don’t, you’re ungrateful. If you’re frustrated, if you’re struggling, if you’re counting the minutes until bedtime, you’re a horrible human being.\n\nGrabowski says self-esteem issues and perfectionism play into this, too. “If you are a perfectionist, you’re going to struggle with anything that feels like criticism. Whether it’s meant to be a criticism or not, an unprompted piece of advice telling you how you should feel about a moment with your child — or even just about being a mother in general — is going to feel like a criticism and a comparison that you’re not measuring up.”\n\nAdvertisement\n\nAnd that’s exactly how I feel — like I’m never measuring up. Like no matter how much I love my son, I will never be a “good mother.”\n\nThe pressure to feel a certain way about motherhood isn’t unique to me, of course. Amy Klein, author of ”The Trying Game,” has been there, too. After enduring four miscarriages and years of infertility treatments, she felt added pressure to be thankful for every second of motherhood. “For the first six months to a year, I felt like I couldn’t complain,” she told me. “I felt like I had to be grateful all the time.”\n\nAs mothers, we often say, I should feel this or I shouldn’t feel that. “I try to tell people, you should just feel what you feel,” Klein said. Her wish is that every mom and mom-to-be will allow themselves the full range of feelings — even the difficult ones.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nMelissa Petro, author of ”Shame on You: How to Be a Woman in the Age of Mortification” has written extensively about how shame is weaponized against mothers. “Our whole economy really relies on mothers doing all of this work without complaint,” Petro said. “If we internalize our struggle rather than externalizing it, then we’re more likely to just try harder than to fight back against the forces that are just so utterly out of our control.”\n\nFor parents drowning in guilt, Petro recommends finding someone you can be totally honest with. “Finding that just-right friend — that person who can listen and reflect back the truth of your experience — is just so powerful and important, especially when we’re struggling. And especially when we’re struggling through something that’s so mystified and misunderstood as mothering,” she said. “Finding people who really reflect the truth of your experience — those are the people that are going to embolden you and empower you.”\n\nWe Don't Work For Billionaires.

She dealt with postpartum anxiety, and when people told her to “enjoy every moment,” it only made her feel worse. She told me, “I was trying to apply all these efficiency things — all the things that had made me so successful at work — trying to apply it to this baby, which obviously doesn’t work. And it would just send me into a tailspin.”\n\nAdvertisement\n\nNow a mother of two, Finney Harden has made it her mission to provide a more realistic voice in motherhood, using her social media to tell struggling parents, “If you actually think this is terrible and you can’t stand when people say ‘enjoy every moment,’ come talk to me.

From frequent hand-washing and sanitizing to face masks, there are many ways people can practice strong hygiene and ward off disease when they’re on the road.\n\nBut after returning home from vacation, there’s another step many still overlook: cleaning their suitcases.\n\nAdvertisement\n\n“There are two types of people in this world — one who unpacks as soon as they get back from a trip and one who leaves it sitting there for a few days,” Jamie Adams, the “cleanfluencer” behind Jamie’s Journey, told HuffPost. “But how many people take the time to clean their luggage when they get back?”\n\nExperts recommend giving your suitcase a good cleaning between every trip you take.\n\n“Your luggage picks up more dirt and germs than you might realize, from conveyor belts to hotel rooms,” said Courtney Landry, a product development manager with Norwex. “The exterior of your suitcase becomes a host to millions of bacteria as it travels, collecting dust, dirt and debris.”\n\nAdvertisement\n\nCleaning your luggage when you return home is not just about keeping dirt away but about protecting your health by warding off bacteria and other harmful pathogens. Microbiologist Jason Tetro, aka “The Germ Guy,” emphasized that a piece of luggage can be a vehicle for the spread of infection.\n\n“Put it this way ― ask yourself if you have cleaned your hands before you touched your face,” he said. “Most likely the answer is no. What was on that handle that could potentially make you sick? You won’t know. No one can, really. So, it’s best to take the precaution and ensure that you are not putting yourself at risk. Luggage touches everything on the journey, so the best thing to do is keep the surface clean and safe.”\n\nDon’t forget that suitcase interiors can also get dirty.\n\n“The shoes and clothes we wear can bring in dirt and bacteria ― and in some climates, bugs ― inside the suitcase,” Adams said. “So make sure to add cleaning the inside of your luggage to your post-trip un-packing routine!”\n\nIn addition to protecting your health, cleaning the inside and outside of your luggage will also keep it fresh and help extend the lifespan of your suitcases.\n\nAdvertisement\n\n“Luggage is quite an investment, so I want to take care of it,” said Patric Richardson, author of “House Love: A Joyful Guide to Cleaning, Organizing, and Loving the Home You’re In.”\n\n“I want the suitcase to last, and it’s just nice to have a clean suitcase,” he added. “It makes going on vacation and getting home more pleasant.”\n\nHow To Clean The Outside\n\nLuggage manufacturers typically offer cleaning guidance for their products, which customers should consult, but if you can’t find specific instructions, the experts who spoke to HuffPost also offered their best practices.\n\nAdvertisement\n\n“The best way to clean the outside parts of luggage would be to get some soapy water or a multi-purpose cleaner and a scrub brush,” Adams said.\n\nShe recommended getting a bowl or bucket of water and mixing dish soap like Dawn or any multi-purpose cleaner like Mr. Clean with water.\n\n“Then, gently scrub the entire exterior with the soapy water,” Adams advised. “Pay special attention to the handle and wheels! The handle is a main touch point that can harbor a lot of bacteria.”\n\nAdvertisement\n\nIn addition to scrubbing the handle and wheels with soapy water, she also recommended running a disinfecting wipe over those areas, as well as the zipper and any other spots you want to treat.\n\n“For the most part, the outside parts are like your hands, except that instead of a sink, you can use the tub,” Tetro said. “Soap and water is really all you need to keep them clean and safe. If you would rather not use the tub, then you can always use a disinfectant. Make sure you leave the product on the surface for a minimum of three minutes.”\n\nThe soap and water approach works for both hard- and soft-shell luggage, though you might want to use a little less water if your suitcase exterior is made of fabric.\n\nAdvertisement\n\n“The great thing about suitcase fabrics is they’re really durable,” Richardson said. “I dip a towel into a mixture of dish soap and water, and I just kind of wipe it all down. Then I take another towel with clear water and wipe it down again to rinse it.”\n\nBe prepared to use some elbow grease on visible spots that require extra care.\n\n“There’s no worse feeling than picking up your suitcase from baggage claim and spotting a big scuff or dark stain,” Landry said.\n\nShe suggested using multipurpose cleaning solution on a damp microfiber cloth. Cleanfluencer Sharon Garcia is a fan of Fabuloso for tougher stains or dirt buildup.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nAt the end of the process, consider putting your suitcase outside for quick drying if it’s warm out, or just let it air out in your house for a bit before putting it away. Do what you can to keep your luggage clean and fresh until you need it again.\n\n“I always store my clean luggage in giant trash bags in the garage to protect it from dust and pests,” Garcia said. “This ensures my luggage remains clean and ready for the next adventure!”\n\nHow To Clean The Inside\n\n“The best way to clean the interior of a suitcase is to first use a blow dryer or a handheld vacuum to get rid of dirt or sand that may be sitting in the bottom of the suitcase,” Adams said. “Then scrub the inside with a damp, soapy microfiber cloth.”\n\nAdvertisement\n\nAs with the exterior, use disinfecting spray or wipe the interior down with a disinfecting cloth.\n\n“Nothing beats a disinfectant wipe for this purpose,” Tetro said. “It’s quick, reliable and fast. Just make sure that it is compatible with the fabric. You can also spray rubbing alcohol onto the surfaces and let it dry. Alcohol is a great sanitizer for both hands and fabrics.”\n\nIf you’ve spilled your travel shampoo or soap, try to attack those spots as well.\n\n“I use vinegar and water and spray it thoroughly until it’s very damp,” Richardson said. “Then I wipe it clean with a dry towel. Vinegar can cut through soap. And if there’s a moldy smell or anything from packing your suitcase with damp items, that will help as well.”\n\nAdvertisement\n\nWe Don't Work For Billionaires.

While living there, they decided that we should all become Canadian citizens. I don’t know what compelled my parents to go through the process of gaining citizenship for all of us in a country we didn’t plan to live in very long, but I’m glad they did. Through the years, it’s always felt like a safety net for me, especially as anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment here in the United States has increased.\n\nLast summer, as the presidential election loomed, my wife and I talked frequently about what it would look like if we decided to take our two kids and leave the country. We understood, and still do, that we’re “protected” here in New York, but when you’re an LGBTQ+ family, it doesn’t matter where you live, or how safe you feel: You must always have a plan.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nAfter Nov. 5, my plan was to cry. All the time. But I had to make dinner for my kids and do the laundry. I also had a deadline for an article I was writing, and I needed to get in touch with my sources.\n\nI have a professional acquaintance in the Midwest who, like me, is queer, married, and raising two kids. I had an unusually difficult time getting her on the phone for our early November interview. “I know this is a challenging time,” I texted, “just let me know when you’re free.” When I finally did get to speak with her, she confessed why she’d been so busy. It wasn’t simply the exhausting aftermath of an election that devastated much of the queer community; she and her trans husband were moving their family abroad.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nI was impressed. I don’t know a single person in my queer community who hadn’t considered their own exit strategy in the wake of a Trump administration. I also didn’t know anyone who was actually going through with it. Gina, who requested to withhold her last name for her family’s safety, told me, “I don’t want to live here feeling angry and hurt. It’s not good for my mental well-being, feeling betrayed by people everywhere I go.”\n\nGina and her husband put their house on the market immediately following the election, and it sold right away. Then, they had to face the harsh logistics of moving their family abroad. She told me that the planning was difficult, but that staying would be worse.\n\n“It’s hard just to be in public. I look around and I think, half of the people in this room voted to hurt us, and did that because they are either ignorant, or they hate us,” she said.\n\nLeaving the place they call home is emotional for Gina and her family, but she wants to keep them safe. “If we live somewhere where our rights are protected at a federal level, that might feel like a relief,” she added.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nThe logistics of moving abroad\n\nGina introduced me to Jess Drucker, founder of Rainbow Relocation, a nationwide organization founded to “empower queer folks and their families to move, live, and thrive aboard.” Drucker told me that previously, she worked with individuals and families who were looking for an adventure abroad. In November, she was inundated with requests for help.\n\n“The increase is definitely threat-based and fear-based,” she said.\n\nDrucker is also working more than ever with trans people, she told me. “That’s the group that feels the most under threat and has the most rush on their paperwork for gender markers, gender identity and passports. That’s much more complex,” she said.\n\nI inquired about which countries people were looking into, and Drucker confessed, “I’m a bit of a dream-killer.”\n\nAdvertisement\n\n“People are looking at the world as a buffet of country options,” she told me, but what they actually need to consider is their own value. If you’re wealthy, you might consider a European Golden Visa, which offers foreign investors a temporary residence permit if they maintain an investment – usually real estate – within the country. Some nations offer temporary residence to highly skilled migrants, which are foreigners with advanced degrees or specialized professions who will bring their skills to the nation’s workforce.\n\n“If you don’t offer professional value, you can still offer something to economically insecure countries,” Drucker explained. There are volunteer opportunities in countries that are queer and trans friendly, like Nicaragua or Bolivia.\n\nShe was also clear that it is extremely difficult for LGBTQ+ Americans to seek asylum.\n\n“Going [abroad] and hoping to get asylum status comes at great financial peril should that claim get rejected and you have to move back to the US,” she said. “If you are going to move your life — a costly endeavor, of course — you might as well become as informed as possible how to do that with intention, on visas that you can qualify for, in countries that are safe.”\n\nAdvertisement\n\nMany are taking a ‘wait and see’ approach\n\nMike Garda, a New York-based therapist who specializes in LGBTQ+ issues, told me that initially, he had many conversations with his patients about moving. “I’ve observed a pretty steep decline in discussions about leaving the country, as folks have had more time to process, receive community care, and at times confront the reality of how difficult it would be to move abroad,” he said.\n\nOnce the initial shock had worn off, Garda was able to shift conversations to what was within his clients’ control. “I helped many of my clients identify things they felt were possible to complete promptly and preemptively, such as name changes, gender marker designations and renewing passports,” he said. “I don’t think these conversations are over, and I expect that as we see new legislation roll out, folks will continue to mourn and look for a way to escape the pain of being marginalized and systematically oppressed.”\n\nEven Garda admitted that he had considered leaving, but ultimately he didn’t feel it would be right. “I think it would be incredibly privileged to move to Europe and continue to work virtually with clients who are unable to exert the same mobility. I think this is a time for queer resistance whether that is through activism, coalition-building [or] simply existing as we are,” he said.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nFor many in the queer community, we will simply have to wait and see what happens. “I would love to be wrong,” Gina told me. “I would love to end up looking foolish for going abroad with our children for a couple of months or years. Wouldn’t that be the best-case scenario?”\n\nWe Don't Work For Billionaires. We Work For You.\n\nBig money interests are running the government — and influencing the news you read.

I can’t imagine leaving my loved ones, even as I mourn the future that I wanted for my children and the rights we stand to lose. Every LGBTQ+ American is faced with a choice right now about how to stay safe, how to move forward and how best to embody our own queer resistance. It’s okay if that resistance looks like a relocation abroad, engaging in activism or just simply existing as usual and living our everyday lives.

This would be an opportunity for me to live my values, really make a difference and also meet a long-held dream of living in New York. I wanted to say “yes.” But my wife, Pat, and I lived in New Hampshire, and I needed to have some long talks with her before I made a move.\n\nWe’d been practicing “intentional” decision-making for 30 years, and this decision was going to be a tough one. On one hand, our kids were grown and out of the house, the med school I had been working for was in a bit of turmoil, and I was ready for a change. On the other hand, Pat loved her job and her garden and had no desire to move. I proposed a plan that I buy a hybrid car, return home every weekend to help with house and dog chores, and call every day.\n\nAdvertisement\n\n“Darling, I’d really like to try this, 80-20,” I told Pat. “I’m excited but frightened. 80-20.”\n\nWe talked it over for days.\n\n“I’m in favor, too,” Pat eventually told me, “55-45. I’m nervous, too, but you should go for it. 55-45.”\n\nDone. The decision was made. But what just happened?\n\nOur numerical negotiation routine started when we first began dating. We were both interns in a family medicine residency in upstate New York, working about 80 hours a week, and on call every third night. Two weeks after Pat and I began to go out, we had a rare free evening and had to decide between eating Mexican or Chinese food. We had heard good things about the Mexican restaurant, but we also enjoyed the Chinese joint where we had our first date.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nThis question — where to eat? — quickly turned into a meta-question: How do the two of us decide where to eat? If we chose to deliberate, we knew that each would try to please the other, to figure out which restaurant the other person favored. We were aware that the initial steps in a relationship are important, and we were both committed to equity and equality. This decision, then — Mexican or Chinese — became a touchstone and metaphor for us. How could each of us express what our preference was without stepping on — or simply influencing — the other?\n\nPat suggested that we each independently decide which restaurant we preferred, and then compare our choices. We had to agree to be honest and stick to our choice. “But wait,” she reflected, “that won’t work. What if I say Chinese and you say Mexican? Then all we have is conflict, not a decision.”\n\nWe pondered this for a few seconds, and then — since we were both comfortable with numbers and quantitative thinking — I proposed that we add a weighting to our preference. If Pat preferred Chinese because she really wanted to reinforce those “first date” pheromones, it would be a lot stronger than if she just wanted to check out their moo shu chicken. Similarly, she couldn’t know if I wanted to go to Mexican just for a change of pace, or if I had secretly arranged for a special mole sauce for the enchiladas.\n\n“Let’s do it this way,” I proposed. “Not only do we each have to quietly commit to our preference, but we have to say how strongly we feel about that choice.”\n\nAdvertisement\n\nWe agreed to use a scale of 0 to 100. Preferring a choice 60-40 would be a modest preference for the former choice over the latter, 90-10 would be a very strong preference, and 50-50 would mean an honest “I truly don’t have preference” between the two options.\n\nThen — as if playing rock-paper-scissors — we each would state our preference and weighting. The restaurant that had the higher combined weighting would win our business. It was simple!\n\nAdvertisement\n\nSo, just as our relationship was beginning, we decided we would each have to be honest about our own preferences and needs. In this case, Chinese won. I like noodles and she likes eggplant!\n\nClearly stating our preferences — and especially the meaning of a 50-50 — had another important resonance beyond suggesting that either choice would be OK: 50-50 indicated the equality we sought. Both of us identify as feminists and came up strong in anti-war and civil rights movements, and we felt moral injury if the wishes of one of us would systematically hold sway over the other. So, with a smile, we’d say “five-oh-five-oh” as a mantra to renew the commitment to our ideals.\n\nA problem that soon arose was that we could each feel more strongly than the other about different small things. I prefer to wash dishes. Pat prefers to brush the dogs. I prefer to do mechanical repairs, and she prefers to iron and sew. The fact that some of these preferences fell along traditional gender expectations was an irony that we appreciated. But the thoughtful and explicit balance of those household chores was a potential fork in the road.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nWe saw other couples implicitly divide up the responsibilities, just as they implicitly made the decisions about what to have for dinner. We also saw other couples begin to drift apart, and we figured out that under that drift was, actually, resentment.\n\nResentment can build from one person seeming to get their way more than the other. It can lead to feeling that you are owed something in the relationship. If a partner doesn’t get what is owed, that may be what triggers the drift. Since we were both in favor of clear communication — as family doctors, we specialized in listening — we decided that resentment about what was unfair or unsaid could be averted by being up front and explicit all of the time.\n\nWell, OK, most of the time.\n\nWhen Pat came home from her 36-hour shift completely exhausted — both physically and emotionally — I knew to greet her with a hug and a cup of tea, and not remind her that she had agreed to not leave her knitting projects on the dining room table and the hall table. I’d raise that later. But it would be important to let her know at some point soon. Otherwise, my tendency to obsessively tidy our surfaces would bother both of us and lead her to resent my putting her piles away as much as I resented her making those piles.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nSo we began to use the 0-to-100 scale to describe how much we liked or disliked various behaviors as well as choices. If her piles were only upsetting me 55-45, I could live with them. If they were really bothering me, it’d be 80-20, and I’d have to find a way to say something. It was my job, not hers, to know how I felt and to express it clearly. And if I procrastinated in fulfilling my promise to fix the tangle of computer and television cords in the living room — and this made her gnash her teeth every time she passed through — she’d point at it and quietly say “70-30.” Then I would bump that chore up to the top of my to-do list.\n\nAlthough household duties and dinner preferences were just the small things, we — then and now — try to end each week with a pretty reasonable balance. We each get what we want about 50% of the time. And if things begin to feel out of balance — if I begin to feel that Pat is “winning” more than I am — well, whose fault is that? If she is 70-30 a lot and gets her preference, maybe it means that I need to be clearer and more certain. Maybe I need to be 75-25 rather than 60-40. If I do not get what I want, it is my fault, not hers. And if we are both escalating our preferences to 80-20 and 90-10, maybe there are some real problems. To cover that eventuality, we agreed to go see a therapist if necessary, and we did have to do that once.\n\nThe system works most handily with quick decisions — which couch to buy, which charity to support, when to give up on a long line at the coffee shop. The test of the technique came with the big decisions. With the passing years we had to decide when and where to vacation, buy a larger home, get married, move, have children, move again.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nAs the stakes became higher, the need for clarity and honesty also grew, and it was useful to have our numerical system to help us. Pat felt very strongly that our “forever” home should have places for her to garden (“80-20”), and this desire readily outweighed my desire to not have a lot of lawn to mow (“60-40”).\n\nHow would we know without a language? We love each other, but neither of us is a mind reader. Love does not mean precisely knowing what the other person wants or needs at all times. It means respecting the other person to fully honor their wants and needs without sacrificing our own. And it sometimes means asking.\n\nSome of the big things were tougher to rectify, and the numerical system did not always magically work or feel appropriate. If one of us enjoyed sex more than the other — and, yes, that happened — the decision about when, where and how became a bit tougher. If she comes into the bedroom with a spring in her step and a little grin on her face, I might think that the odds of a good night were pretty high. At that moment I am not going to whisper steamily into her ear, “Yeah, honey, 90-10 to go ahead, how about you?” And making decisions about raising our children required consensus more than instant resolution.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nNow, as we age, as our bodies grow slacker and slower, and our minds are not as sharp, we have to be even kinder with each other, so there are fewer instances of 90-10. And even though “five-oh-five-oh” remains a central theme of our marriage, we still are careful to be honest when we truly have a preference.\n\nWe Don't Work For Billionaires.

We would have had a full semester on the right way to do laundry, run the vacuum and set out the recycling. Or we’d have had to take an Advanced Placement test on how to load the dishwasher, which for most of us would have helped our daily life more than knowing how to find the length of the missing side of a triangle.\n\nBut we live in a world where trigonometry gained dominance over home economics. No wonder we can’t all get along, with everyone quarreling about which direction silverware should face in the little flatware basket. With the goal of restoring a modicum of domestic harmony, we talked to home and cleaning experts about all things dishwasher related.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nThe experts offered reassurance that the struggle is real.\n\nMorgan Eberhard, a leading principal scientist for Procter & Gamble’s North America Home Care business, hears the bickering all the time. “It’s one of the most argued-about chores between partners and roommates,” she said. “Everyone feels like their way of doing it is the right way.”\n\nHome and lifestyle expert Jill Bauer, who is a frequent contributor on the “Today” show, said questions on dishwasher loading “are usually at the top of the list” from her fans.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nJust in time for tonight’s after-dinner cleanup, here’s the latest on crusty pots, smeared glassware and even which way the flatware should face. No AP test required.\n\nLoad With ‘Water Reach’ In Mind\n\nAre you always the first one to bend way over and stick that dirty cereal bowl into the far reaches of the newly empty dishwasher, thus clearing the way to more easily load the next bit of crockery? And are you expecting a medal for this?\n\nAs important as your contributions are, Eberhard said the focus on front or back pales in significance to the “water reach” issue. Considering where the water comes from is the key to proper loading, she said. “The water source rotates outward from the center of the machine through the spray arms, and you want as clear a path as possible between water spray and dirty dishes.”\n\nInstead of worrying about front or back, she said, “You need to prioritize proper placement to ensure water reach. Larger items are often best placed toward the back or sides of the lower rack, as this is less likely to block the detergent dispenser or spray arm.”\n\nAdvertisement\n\nWhat’s On Top: Cups, Mugs, Bowls And Glassware\n\nThe top rack is the place for cups, mugs and bowls. “Put them face down, between the prongs, to prevent rattling. This way they’ll also get cleaned better and won’t collect water,” Eberhard said.\n\nWhen it comes to items like wine glasses and other delicate glassware, she suggested leaving them a finger-width apart on the top rack or using the stemware holder if your dishwasher has one. Anything that’s made of plastic belongs on the top rack, she said. “Temperatures typically remain cooler on the top rack, which will prevent melting,” she said.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nWhile we’re talking about placement, you might want to take a look at the cabinets above your dishwasher and load with an eye to where the clean items will eventually go, said Becky Rapinchuk, cleaning expert and founder of Clean Mama: “Group items like glasses, cups, bowls and plates together, so it’s easy to grab a stack and put them all away at once.”\n\nFlatware And Pots: Don’t Spoon Your Spoons\n\nWhile Eberhard suggested always putting the dirtiest part of a utensil facing up in the flatware basket, there are different viewpoints. Rapinchuk does it this way: “I prefer to load dirty forks tines-down and dirty spoons bowl-down, so when you’re unloading, you’re not touching what’s going to be put into someone’s mouth.”\n\nFor Bauer, it’s important to mix things up in the flatware basket. “You want to spread out how many are facing up and down,” she said. “Don’t load all of your spoons together, because you don’t want your spoons to ‘spoon’ each other and hide the dirt.”\n\nAdvertisement\n\nPots are bottom-rack placement only, Bauer said, citing the “water reach” issue that Eberhard mentioned earlier. “The key is making sure that on the bottom rack, your dishes are facing the water source, which is in the middle. She said to avoid putting them face down, and to place them on their sides instead.\n\n“Otherwise, they’ll hog all the water, which will spray just up into that pot and not be able to disperse and spray other dishes,” she said.\n\nWhat Can’t Go In There\n\nWhile most things do fine in the dishwasher, there are a few no-go items. Rapinchuk cautioned against putting nonstick pans in the dishwasher. “The high heat can disintegrate nonstick surfaces,” she said.\n\nAdvertisement\n\n“I’m wary of putting fine china into the dishwasher,” Bauer said. “The force of the water could cause damage, and the detergents could dull the finish on some of the metallic accents of a pattern.” She did point out that some dishwashers have a gentle/china setting. “If you feel comfortable using that cycle, just don’t overload the dishwasher, as you don’t want the dishes to rattle against each other and potentially chip,” she added.\n\nAnother no-no is anything sharp, she said. “I always think it’s best to wash knives by hand. The heat can do damage to the handles, and the way the knives jiggle around in the utensil basket can eventually cut through the basket’s bottom.”\n\nEberhard mentioned a few more items that should never see the inside of a dishwasher: anything made from aluminum, cast iron or wood, plus any insulated travel mugs or homemade ceramics.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nScrape And Rinse? Or Fuhgeddaboudit?\n\nWars have been fought over less, but Rapinchuk diplomatically agreed that, when it comes to scraping and rinsing (or not), “the topic is controversial.” She herself scrapes off excess food, does a quick rinse and then loads items into the dishwasher. “I prefer to do this because I feel like everything gets cleaner, and it’s less work for the dishwasher and filter,” she said.\n\nBauer agreed, with a clear definition. “Scraping and rinsing doesn’t mean washing the dishes by hand before loading,” she clarified. “But you definitely want to get all of the loose food scraps off so they don’t clog your dishwasher filter and cause problems with the way your machine functions. If you’ve left something in your sink that is really caked on, let it sit with some hot water on it for a few minutes before loading, to soften the residue a bit.”\n\nAs you’re getting ready to hit the “on” button, consider this pro tip: “Before you run the dishwasher, start your kitchen faucet running on hot water, and then press ‘start,’” Rapinchuk said. “It’ll heat up the dishwasher more quickly.”\n\nAdvertisement\n\nHow Full Should The Dishwasher Be?\n\nYou don’t want to overload, Eberhard said: “Because you want the water to reach every dish, it’s important not to overpack the dishwasher or stack dishes on top of one another. If it’s too full, you might be preventing the water and detergent from being able to reach all of the dirty parts of the dishes.”\n\nWe Don't Work For Billionaires.

Does the paint color look too dark? Is the living room too crowded? Does the ambience feel positive and welcoming?\n\n“Having a well-balanced space not only enhances the look and feel … but it also creates a psychological impact,” said Scheherazade Lunn, a certified interior decorator and founder of Lunn Interiors. “Just like [how] a clean home creates a sense of calm … the same can be said about a well-designed space.”\n\nAdvertisement\n\nWe talked to interior decorators and designers about the one thing they avoid doing when decorating their own homes — and why that makes a difference in creating a space that makes them feel comfortable and happy.\n\nMistake #1: Selecting The Paint Color Of A Room First\n\n“One [mistake] I always see people [make] … is they [choose their paint color] right away,” said Natasha Habermann, interior designer, decorator and owner of Natasha Habermann Studio.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nShe suggests this should actually be the last step when decorating your home. Because there are thousands of paint color options, she advises first picking out the decor and accessories you really love and then choosing the paint based on that. For example, even if you know you want a light blue room, it’s easier to match the exact shade once you already have the bedding, rugs and other decorative items you want for the space.\n\n“[Otherwise] you’ll just always be fighting the paint rather than getting the paint to work with everything else that you’ve already selected,” she said.\n\nBeyond looking at the decor and accessories, she also recommends thinking about how you plan to use the room you’ll be painting.\n\n“It’s really about what sort of ambience you’re trying to create in the room,” she added. “Think about the time of day that you’re living in the space.”\n\nAdvertisement\n\nYou may want a more “bright and upbeat” color for a room where you spend daytime hours, like a kitchen, and a more “cozy” color for where you spend time in the evening, like a bedroom, she said.\n\nMistake #2: Incorporating Too Many Trends\n\n“I firmly believe in prioritizing timeless pieces over fleeting trends when decorating my home,” Lunn shared. “Trends can be fun, but they shouldn’t be the focal point of your space.”\n\nShe recommends adding trends through smaller items that you can refresh later on if you decide, such as decorative throw pillows, lamps and coffee table accessories.\n\nAdvertisement\n\n“Larger investment pieces like sofas tend to draw a significant amount of attention in a room, so it’s essential to choose furnishings that will withstand the test of time,” she explained.\n\nTimeless pieces are usually “classic styles with historical significance,” whereas trendy items may have a unique, modern take.\n\n“By blending timeless design with trendy accents, you can create a space that is both stylish and enduring,” she said.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nMistake #3: Overcrowding The Space With Furniture And Accessories\n\n“You never want to overstate the aesthetic of the room by having too much,” said Ron Renner, founder and president of Certified Interior Decorators International (C.I.D.). “Keep it simple with understatement in mind because too much decor, even beautiful decor, can cause stress and confusion.”\n\nSo how do you know if you have too much stuff in one room? If it’s difficult to move around without running into furniture or it looks cluttered when you enter, that is a good indication, Renner explained.\n\nIt’s also key to avoid overcrowding the space with certain colors and patterns. For example, using too many dark colors can make you feel tired or even depressed, he said. Also mixing a lot of different patterns can create chaos, Lunn added.\n\nAdvertisement\n\n“It’s best to limit the number of patterns and find that perfect balance between solid colors and fun patterns,” she advised.\n\nMistake #4: Ignoring The Functionality Of A Piece\n\nWhen you’re looking to add a piece of furniture or other item to your home, it’s important to not only think about how it will look but also what purpose it will serve.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nMargarita Bravo, interior designer, decorator and owner of her own design studio, explains her thought process when selecting a new piece.\n\n“For example, [for] something as simple as the living room sofa … I want to make sure that it’s comfortable, that it has the right back support [and] that it … fits the entire family,” she said. “Also I want it to be high-performance, so it’s easy to clean and will last.”\n\nAfter considering the functionality and durability, she also checks that it reflects her style and personality.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nMistake #5: Underthinking Lighting Options\n\nFrom light fixtures and floor lamps to candles and string lights, there are so many lighting options when it comes to decorating your indoor and outdoor areas.\n\nRaquel Renner, a certified interior decorator and director of membership for C.I.D., said she avoids relying on traditional or standard lighting in her own home.\n\n“Unique lighting fixtures, much like a unique piece of artwork or furniture, add a pleasing aesthetic to a room’s ambiance … beyond just simply providing light,” she said.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nFor instance, she loves the feel of a chandelier in a kitchen or bathroom or a beautiful pendant light (a single light fixture that hangs from the ceiling) over a nightstand instead of a typical lamp.\n\nMistake #6: Focusing On How Your Space ‘Should’ Look\n\nA common mistake when decorating is playing it safe and just replicating what you’ve seen at your friends’ houses or trends you’ve seen online, said Holly Hickey Moore, an interior designer, decorator and owner of Holly Hickey Moore Design.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nWe Don't Work For Billionaires.

Her daughter and son-in-law “knew I couldn’t do it for free” and agreed to pay her $50 a day as a result, Barnes said.

But as a widow, Bowlby said the money made a difference.\n\nIf you want to guarantee a hot debate, ask your friends and loved ones the following question: Should a grandparent be paid for taking care of their grandchild?\n\nAdvertisement\n\nThe perennially polarizing question is like kicking a hornet’s nest because it hits so many sore spots for American families around money or cultural expectations of what a grandparent should do.\n\nWhen HuffPost surveyed its readers about whether grandparents should be paid for babysitting grandchildren, one grandparent said, “My payment is every hug and kiss that I can get from them.” Another reader answered that the notion of paying her parents for child care “would be offensive and even comical” because “children for them are viewed as a treasure and a joy, not a job.”\n\nThe resentment that might be simmering underneath all of this? The idea that, if a grandparent really cares about their grandchildren and their adult children, they step up and take care of their grandchildren for free.\n\nAdvertisement\n\n“What if Grandma and Grandpa can’t afford to or simply don’t want to do this help for free?”\n\n“There are many grown children who, the minute a parent says no to anything, thinks, ‘They don’t love me,’” said Jane Isay, a grandparent and the author of “Walking on Eggshells: Navigating the Delicate Relationship Between Adult Children and Parents.”\n\nBowlby said she takes personal offense to people who are proud of parents who refuse to take money “because they love their grandkids.”\n\nAdvertisement\n\n“If my children could not have afforded daycare, I would have still been there in a heartbeat because I love my children and grandchildren,” Bowlby said. “But they could, and at the time, the extra money helped me out.”\n\nOne big reason why many parents turn to their parents for child care duties is because day care is so unaffordable for many Americans. The market rate price for just one child per year can range from $5,357 in smaller towns to more than $17,000 in 2022 for larger cities, according to a 2023 Labor Department report across 2,360 U.S. counties in 47 states.\n\nThese prices represent up to 19.3% of a median American family’s income per child and are the reason why “childcare prices are untenable for families across all care types, age groups, and county population sizes,” the report stated.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nJust this month, Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance suggested that one solution for lowering the cost of day care lies with grandparents: “One of the ways you might be able to relieve a little bit of pressure on people who are paying so much for day care is ... maybe Grandma and Grandpa wants to help out a little bit more.”\n\nBut what if Grandma and Grandpa can’t afford to, or simply don’t want to do this help for free?\n\nAs Audrey VanScyoc, a parent in Tucson, Arizona, put it to HuffPost: “Money is tight for everyone right now, including grandparents. They may not want to take money for babysitting their grandkids, but they should,” she said.\n\nIf these U.S. families lived in Sweden, all of these questions would not need to be so personal. The decision on whether or not to pay grandparents would not have to be a fraught discussion between families ― it would be government policy.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nIn Sweden’s trailblazing law, grandparents can get paid for taking care of grandchildren.\n\nAs of July, Swedish grandparents are eligible for up to three months of paid parental leave for a grandchild’s first year. Under the new law, parents can transfer a maximum of 45 days from the Nordic country’s generous paid leave policy to a grandparent, while a single parent can transfer 90 days, which will help a grandparent “strengthen the ties to their grandchild,” said Anna Tenje, minister for older people and social insurance in Sweden.\n\nTenje told HuffPost that the new law will particularly benefit single mothers and families in which several adults are involved in raising children. She said the ability to transfer paid parental leave to grandparents “increases the possibility for parents of young children to combine working life with family life in periods of life that require more flexibility.”\n\nCould this ever happen in the U.S., which remains one of the few countries in the world without any form of national paid leave? Not anytime soon, said Richard Petts, a professor of sociology at Ball State University and an expert on parental leave.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nIn the U.S., “our childcare infrastructure is quite poor, and we don’t subsidize childcare nearly to the extent we should ― families are expected to manage this themselves and not be supported by public policies,” he said. Adopting Sweden’s paid caregiver model would require Americans to value care much more than they currently do, he said.\n\nAlthough the Nordic country’s grandparent leave remains a far-off fantasy for Americans, it’s the kind of law that could help make paying a grandparent for child care a less judgmental conversation.\n\n“Policies that recognize the value of carework would certainly help to de-stigmatize various forms of compensation for this labor,” Petts said.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nU.S. grandparents, for one, would welcome the idea. “I think Sweden is on to something,” Bowlby said. “It would be a great way to earn a little extra and give us an opportunity to fill a need.”\n\nHow to talk about paying a grandparent without making it awkward and tense for everyone.\n\nUntil there is nationwide change, the conversation about whether to pay a grandparent for caregiving will continue to be a sensitive topic for U.S. families. But it doesn’t have to be such a contentious debate ― if both sides are willing to table their assumptions.\n\n“This arrangement cannot be made out of anger. ‘Well, I’ll pay you,’” Isay said. “It requires a lack of ego on both sides.”\n\nAdvertisement\n\nLose the harmful and judgmental belief that if grandparents want or need to be paid, it means they love their grandchildren ― or their adult child ― less.\n\n“My feeling is that if you donate your time to your grandchildren or you are paid, you are doing it out of love,” Bowlby said.\n\nInstead, grandparents should be direct about what this money could do to help them, and adult children can be proactive about offering ways to reimburse their parent for their time.\n\nAdvertisement\n\n“It’s not about, ‘Oh, you can’t love me if you need the money,’” Isay said. “It’s, ‘How can we make this easy for everybody? How could we make it so that we’re sharing the children and the love and the sacrifice?’”\n\nFamilies can use the cost of child care in their area as a starting measure for how much they should pay a grandparent. Bowlby said in her own talks with family, “I told them to find out how much it would cost if they had to pay a child care facility, and I would charge them one-third of that cost,” she said.\n\nReimbursement also does not have to be a regular check to be meaningful. Bowlby, who still drives her youngest grandchild around, said her family gave her the surprise gift of $500 spending money on a cruise as a way to thank her. “They still tell me constantly how much they appreciated what I did and how they needed me,” she said.\n\nAdvertisement\n\n“It's not about, 'Oh, you can't love me if you need the money.'”\n\nAdult children who want to compensate grandparents should also be sensitive about whether their offer of payment might be a blow to their parent’s ego. So if you want your parent to accept the money, be respectful.\n\n“As grandparents age, our authority leaks out like a hole in one of the water towers. It’s like drip, drip, drip,” Isay said. “And taking money from your children to take care of the grandchildren might be an assault on that authority.“\n\nAdvertisement\n\nFor both parents and grandparents, it helps to tune out the noise of what other people expect you to do for caregiving. Many people also hold entrenched ideas of what a grandparent should be doing with their free time, which contributes to the ongoing stigma against paying grandparents for caregiving.\n\nFor adult children, it helps to remember that it is not realistic to keep your parent constantly on reserve for free babysitting duties ― unless this is an explicit agreement you both have accepted.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nThe most important piece of advice is to have the conversation. Barnes, for example, said she and her daughter talked for almost a year before Barnes quit her job about what her caregiver role could look like. Now that it’s her reality, Barnes sometimes wishes she could just be Nana instead of her grandchild’s disciplinarian, but she said the good days outweigh her bad ones.\n\n“When he tells [me], ‘Nana, I have so much fun with you,’ that outweighs the ‘Nana, I don’t want to do what you tell me right now,’” Barnes said.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nAnd, as Barnes’ story shows, the decision about when to accept payment can be nuanced. Barnes decided that when she watches her grandchild over the occasional weekend, she does not ask for payment, because it’s when she and her husband “can be Nana and Papa” and just have fun.\n\nWe Don't Work For Billionaires.

Officials cited what they described as his “prominent role” in the MS-13 gang, which the Trump administration had recently designated a foreign terrorist organization. He was placed on a deportation flight three days later, on March 15.\n\nAccording to ICE official Robert Cerna II, Abrego-Garcia had not been on the original manifest for the flight but was listed as an alternate. As other individuals were removed from the flight, Abrego-Garcia’s name was moved up, and he was added to the final passenger list. The manifest, Cerna said, failed to indicate that Abrego-Garcia had legal protection from removal to El Salvador.\n\n“Through administrative error, Abrego-Garcia was removed from the United States to El Salvador,” Cerna said in the filing. “This was an oversight, and the removal was carried out in good faith based on the existence of a final order of removal and Abrego-Garcia’s purported membership in MS-13.”\n\nAbrego-Garcia’s lawyers have argued that there is no credible evidence linking him to MS-13.\n\n“Defendants have claimed—without any evidence—that Abrego Garcia is a member of MS-13 and then housed him among the chief rival gang, Barrio 18,” she wrote.\n\nXinis also rejected the administration’s claim that the court had overstepped its authority, finding that Abrego-Garcia’s deportation was illegal and that the government could not now avoid responsibility by claiming that it lacked the power to correct the mistake.\n\n“Having confessed grievous error, the Defendants now argue that this Court lacks the power to hear this case, and they lack the power to order Abrego Garcia’s return,” she wrote. “To avoid clear irreparable harm, and because equity and justice compels it, the Court grants the narrowest, daresay only, relief warranted: to order that Defendants return Abrego Garcia to the United States.”\n\nIn its filing, the Trump administration warned of sweeping consequences if the lower court’s ruling were allowed to stand.\n\n“The United States cannot guarantee success in sensitive international negotiations in advance, least of all when a court imposes an absurdly compressed, mandatory deadline,” the government wrote.\n\nThey said the court’s order simply requires U.S. officials to correct their own error—not compel foreign action.

It does not,” DOJ attorneys wrote, arguing that the administrative process is sufficient and that plaintiffs are seeking relief in district court merely for convenience.\n\n“Defendants assert unfettered authority to deport noncitizens to countries that were not previously designated in immigration proceedings without providing any notice of which country, and thus without any meaningful opportunity to seek protection from persecution or torture in that unidentified country,” attorneys for the plaintiffs wrote.\n\nThey added that a motion to reopen is not a practical remedy for many would-be deportees, especially those who are detained, unrepresented, or unaware of where they are being sent until it is too late to act.\n\nThe Justice Department did not respond to a request for comment on the appellate court’s decision by publication time.\n\nThe case now returns to the district court, where Murphy is expected to hold a hearing on the plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction in the coming days. The outcome of that hearing could determine whether the restrictions on third-country deportations remain in effect for the duration of the litigation." + }, + { + "title": "Day in Photos: Remembering Rwandan Genocide, Flooding in Midwest, and Fire in Paris", + "url": "https://www.theepochtimes.com/article/day-in-photos-remembering-rwandan-genocide-flooding-in-midwest-and-fire-in-paris-5838236", + "text": "A look into the world through the lens of photography.\n\nDay in Photos: Remembering Rwandan Genocide, Flooding in Midwest, and Fire in Paris\n\nA look into the world through the lens of photography.\n\n|\n\nApril 07, 2025Updated:April 07, 2025" + }, + { + "title": "Why US Has Upper Hand Over Beijing in Tariff Standoff", + "url": "https://www.theepochtimes.com/china/why-us-has-upper-hand-over-beijing-in-tariff-standoff-5838158", + "text": "News Analysis\n\nAs reciprocal tariffs on U.S trading partners are set to take effect on Wednesday, President Donald Trump has focused much of his attention on the Chinese regime.\n\nSeveral experts say that while many world leaders will eventually meet U.S. demands after the initial kicking and screaming, Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leader Xi Jinping will not—even with the added ultimatum.\n\n“Xi has sold himself domestically and internationally as the guy standing up to America, and people that want to stand up to America should get in line behind chairman Xi,” Christopher Balding, a senior fellow at the Henry Jackson Society, a UK-based think tank, told The Epoch Times.\n\n“It would be catastrophic for Xi to be seen as caving in to Trump in any way,” he said.\n\nExperts also said the CCP cannot and does not want to give the United States what it wants: for China to control its fentanyl precursor exports and open up its market.\n\nThe current U.S.–China tariff standoff is more than a trade conflict, according to Yeh Yao-Yuan, a professor of international studies at the University of St. Thomas in Houston.\n\n“It’s a more aggressive decoupling because escalated tariffs will cause the bilateral trade to drop further,” Yeh told The Epoch Times. “When the decoupling persists, it will lead to a cold war.”\n\nChina expert Alexander Liao thinks the current situation will eventually become a contest between Trump and Xi. Trump depends on the might of the U.S. economy, while Xi relies on support from the communist regime’s tight control system.\n\nGiven this, Liao said Xi is disadvantaged because he has little policy room to maneuver.\n\n“Washington has many cards. Beijing has few,” he told The Epoch Times.\n\nWhile China was at the top of the list, it didn’t receive the highest rate. Other Southeast Asian countries that Chinese companies use for transshipping, including Vietnam and Cambodia, received nearly 50 percent levies.\n\nHowever, Balding said that the administration’s real target was China.\n\n“I think they want to be much more aggressive with China, but they want to do it very quietly,” he said.\n\n“They did it almost, in a way, to shield China,” he added, referring to the administration’s approach of announcing sweeping global tariffs so the levy on Chinese goods didn’t stand out as much.\n\nBalding noted that Trump applies tariffs differently to other countries than he does to China. In the case of the U.S. tariffs on other nations, the rates are set to encourage negotiations. However, Balding remarked that the tariffs imposed on China are so high that negotiations are very hard for Beijing.\n\nThree countries were on the receiving end of the earlier 25-percent fentanyl tariffs: Canada, Mexico, and China.\n\nThe two North American countries were exempted from last week’s reciprocal tariffs. The White House said Canada and Mexico will remain on the fentanyl tariff regime and move to the reciprocal tariff regime after they reach a bilateral agreement with the United States.\n\nBy comparison, China received a reciprocal levy in addition to the fentanyl tariffs. Most Chinese imports are now subjected to a more than 60 percent levy; the amount Trump talked about on the campaign trail.\n\nAccording to Balding, such a steep tariff at the start of the negotiation makes it very difficult for Xi to reach any deal. The Chinese leader, he said, would have to make a lot of concessions to the United States—compromises that Xi isn’t willing to give—for Washington to cut the rate by half. Even if that were to happen, the remaining half would still be too high for China to bear, Balding added.\n\n“What does Trump want? It seems to me he is basically saying, ‘Let’s just decouple everything as much as we can from China,’” the expert said.\n\nSince Trump returned to the White House, many of his foreign policies have been directly and indirectly driven by China.\n\n“Basically [Trump] said, ‘I can’t let any part of the world be a place where China or other countries can ship through them,'” Lutnick said.\n\nSecretary of State Marco Rubio visited Panama as part of his first official foreign trip. Shortly after, Panama said it would not renew its agreement with China’s Belt and Road Initiative, a geopolitical platform for the CCP to expand its global influence.\n\nDuring the first administration, Trump took two years to negotiate and sign a “phase one” trade deal with China. Eventually, Beijing did not fulfill its pledge to buy an additional $200 billion in U.S. products over two years.\n\nLiao said the CCP’s strategy is to draw things out. For example, it may take two years to reach an agreement and another year for Washington to discover that Beijing hasn’t made good on its promises.\n\nUnder this cycle, the United States bears the cost of such delays.\n\nThis time around, by imposing the tariffs upfront, Trump has immediately put the cost on Xi, Liao said.\n\nBalding agrees.\n\n“If you want to draw this out for years and years—go ahead,” Balding said, describing Trump’s approach. “We’re going to impose enormous amounts of pain very early on so that if you want to draw it out, you’re drawing out your pain.”\n\nThe U.S. trade deficit with China was about $300 billion last year. That means the negative impact of a 34 percent tariff will be felt much more sharply in China than in the United States.\n\nThat’s partly why Trump has been pursuing critical minerals in Ukraine, Liao said. Eventually, when the prices of these raw materials for weapons and electronics are no longer kept artificially low due to China’s monopoly, he added, more companies will join the processing businesses.\n\nAccording to U.S.-based economist Davy J. Wong, the United States and China are not in a trade war, but a battle for resetting the international trade protocol and even the world order.\n\nFor Xi, the resilience of the communist political system is the key, according to Liao. Chinese people will become poorer and more dissatisfied. However, if the communist apparatus keeps a lid on the people, Xi could hold out.\n\nTrump’s pain would come from the U.S. economy, Liao said. If the economy can survive the initial shock and voters don’t lose patience with Trump, he can remain focused on standing firm against the CCP.\n\nThe U.S. stock market experienced large drops last week, driven mainly by the uncertainty of the global reciprocal tariffs. With the biggest three-day decline since the summer of 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, more than $6 trillion in value evaporated in the equity market.\n\nThe stock market upheaval has added pressure on the White House and Trump, who has often credited the administration’s work for the rise of the stock market.\n\nBalding said Trump will most likely hold out while the stock market adjusts because the U.S. government is prioritizing national security, which is different to Wall Street’s focus on business profits.\n\nThe president has also tied the U.S.–China trade imbalance to national security, saying that Beijing uses its massive surplus with the United States to fund the military.\n\n“We don’t want that. I don’t want them to take $500 [billion], $600 billion a year and spend it on their military,” Trump said in the Oval Office on April 7.\n\nBoth Balding and Yeh believe that if Trump can negotiate agreements with key countries—such as Vietnam, South Korea, and Japan—to significantly reduce tariffs within the next month, businesses will gain more certainty. This would contribute to stabilizing the stock market.\n\nWashington holds more cards, Liao said.\n\nIn addition to further hiking tariffs, Liao said the United States could apply more pressure to the CCP by uniting with China’s neighbors who don’t like the regime, such as Vietnam and India. The United States could also take a human rights approach and release a report about the origins of COVID-19 or publicize evidence of the forced organ harvesting of prisoners of conscience and ethnic minorities in China.\n\nAndrew Moran and Luo Ya contributed to this report." + }, + { + "title": "US: China to Face 104 Percent Total Tariff If It Doesn’t Stop Retaliation", + "url": "https://www.theepochtimes.com/epochtv/us-china-to-face-104-percent-total-tariff-if-it-doesnt-stop-retaliation-5838302", + "text": "President Donald Trump is upping his tactics to counter the Chinese regime.

It was something that, you know, you come in, you see the commercials, you see the people outside, but it opens up this whole cultural heritage that you didn’t know existed with the old age in China, and it gives a different perspective on what’s going on over there now, and what’s going on over here, and how it reflects,” Mr. Dellapolla said.\n\n“I’ve performed for decades, and to see these guys out there doing every show, my mom was saying, she was amazed at how they can go on stage and do that so consistently, so precisely, so beautifully. It is a massively ballad, wonderful, deep, and important artistic statement,” Mr. Dellapolla said.\n\nMr. Dellapolla, who has performed at the same David H. Koch Theatre he attended Sunday afternoon as well as the MetOpera theater next door, is married to a ballet dancer and his son is a dancer as well, “so for us, as classical dancers, this is just amazing.”\n\n“Their skills are impeccable, they’re classically trained,” he said, remarking on the beautiful technique he saw. “The feet are beautiful, the women have that incredible extension and the ability to control and move.\n\n“But it’s, you know, you can’t look at just one thing. You have to look at the overall package. The artistry is complete, right? It’s a very complete package,” Mr. Dellapolla said.\n\nHe said the dancers were able to express and project the stories they told, from across thousands of years of Chinese history, so that anyone from any background could understand.\n\nMr. Dellapolla said that what he and possibly many others don’t realize from only watching Shen Yun commercials is that what the artists are sharing is not “only Chinese.”\n\n“It is the expression of a more ancient cultural Chinese sense of Buddhism, religion, heritage, free [from] communism, which I think for a lot of us in this country now is important because this country has become so dry and so devoid of spirituality and too easily taken in by socialism, communism, that they really need to learn how important, how pristine, how deep things were before communism.\n\n“That was one of the better messages in the show, I think. A lot of the people in the West would be surprised because they wouldn’t have that knowledge of what’s coming in.

Since then, the practice has spread to more than 100 countries around the world. Despite this, in China, the practice has been subjected to extreme persecution by the Chinese Communist Party.\n\nThen what accounts for this? Here is the reason. The greater universe and the multitude of systems within it had reached the last phase of the cosmic cycle of Formation, Stasis, Degeneration, and Destruction. And as everything headed for the terrifying prospect of final annihilation and oblivion, the Creator decided to endeavor to save all lives.\n\nThe reason the greater universe and the numerous universes within it had reached the stage of Destruction is because they as well as the countless lives within them—including the many lords, sovereigns, and divine ones in each of the universes—had become, over the very long course of the Formation, Stasis, Degeneration, and Destruction cosmic cycle, inferior to how they were during the early days of the Formation stage. Or to put it another way, after all of those ages, they no longer met the standards for their respective planes. This was the inevitable trajectory of the course of existence.\n\nAnd so, for the purpose of rescuing lives, the Creator made a world outside of the greater universe. It would be utilized to save the innumerable lives of the greater universe, and was called the “Three Realms.” Within the Three Realms, there are three planes of existence. The beings in the lowest of the three are powerless and without higher insight or wisdom, existing in an environment that is the most taxing and difficult to see through. And that is the human world. The people and beings in the second plane surpass only humankind in insight and wisdom, so they can see only how things are in the human realm and where they themselves are. Humans have referred to them as “heavenly beings” or “demigods.” The beings that are yet one plane higher can see how things are for beings in the two realms below them as well as where they themselves are, and their powers of insight and wisdom are the greatest of all those within the Three Realms. People here in this world have generally referred to these beings as “deities” or “celestial beings.” Yet none of the beings in the Three Realms have the power to see the universe as it truly is, nor to see the kingdoms and paradises where divine beings reside further above.\n\nHumankind thus lives in a state of unknowing, having the least insight and wisdom, and being incapable of seeing the essence of things. This was brought about by the Creator, and it was done in order to allow for beings’ redemption on the eve of the final destruction. It gives them a chance to avoid that fate, as long as they manage to hold fast to the goodness inherent in them, even in this delusory and trying world. It is indeed very hard: The only way to make it through is for lives to endure suffering and work off their karma at a time when lives are slated for elimination during this end point of the Formation, Stasis, Degeneration, and Destruction cycle—and to preserve their innate goodness. Only then will they be deemed “worthy of the future.” When the final cosmic phase arrived, the Creator gave his approval for the greater universe’s multitude of divine beings, sovereigns, and lords—and the still more massive divine and enlightened beings overseeing each of the greater universe’s different domains—to descend to the world and incarnate in human form. Here, however, all of their higher wisdom, powers of insight, and divine abilities would be sealed off. And in this most trying of places, without their powers or wisdom, closed off completely in a human body, they would have to go through adversity to work off their karma while relying on positive and virtuous thoughts and keeping alive the goodness within. Only then would they be acknowledged by the legions of divine ones above as well as the Creator, and earn a place in the future. Those who have managed to gradually work off their karma over the course of their many incarnations in this world, and who have grown in virtue and goodness along the way, are sure to be chosen for salvation. They will certainly be delivered by the Creator to the new universe when salvation unfolds at the end of the last days. What this means is that the state of ignorance and unenlightenment in which humankind lives is part of a unique world and way of existence that was made to be such by the Creator for the purpose of redemption. That is why any attempts by a human to ask another being to shatter this state of unknowing would prove futile. No beings in this world or beyond would dare to undermine this setting that was made for salvation.\n\nThere are always those in this world who consider spiritual beliefs to be unfounded. So some say that they only believe in what they can see, and don’t believe otherwise. As a result, some people do wrong without any concern for the consequences. If a divine being, however high his stature, incarnates as a human—for having a human body means one is human—he will assume the human state of unknowing, along with his human body. And so some, being in this state, create karma here. The reason the Creator made the Three Realms was for beings to diminish their sinful karma by experiencing adversity, with the essential purpose being the elevation of their moral level. Only a being free of sin or karma can be delivered home to Heaven. And the principles of the greater universe dictate that karma must be paid for. Human beings live in a state of ignorance, and so they are apt to create sinful karma in this human realm. And naturally, it must be paid for. If it isn’t paid for in one lifetime, it must be in the next. Many people have an enormous amount of sinful karma, in fact. And so the Creator has borne some of their suffering for them, so that they may gain salvation. This is the greatest form of compassion, and the greatest form of love, for these lives. The fact is, a person’s life will truly be extinguished if his karma amasses to a certain point. So the real purpose of your coming to this earth was to work off all of your karma and thus be able to return to Heaven. When each person incarnated into this world, they made a vow to the Creator. Yet it is of course hard to pay for one’s karma. Karma makes people contend and fight with one another, and it causes war, disease, toil, hunger, poverty—and thus pain and suffering. Some have more karma, and some less. And this is why there are both rich and poor in this world. If one can stay good and kind even in this state of unknowing, one will create less karma! And life will be easier!\n\nAll of this is to say that people’s state of unknowing was made this way for their salvation, and to save the greater universe and vast numbers of universes. Since there are such incredibly significant reasons behind this state, the spell of delusion absolutely cannot be broken to suit human wishes. Some may wonder why the many supernatural beings on this earth don’t do as man desires and lift the veil. The fact is, they wouldn’t dare! That is because it was made to be this way by the Creator for the purpose of saving the greater universe and the multitude of beings. It is to allow for the redemption of these lives!\n\nTeacher Li Hongzhi" + }, + { + "title": "‘A Wake-Up Call,’ by Falun Gong Founder Mr. Li Hongzhi", + "url": "https://www.theepochtimes.com/falun-gong/wake-up-by-falun-gong-founder-mr-li-hongzhi-5665020", + "text": "After Mr. Li introduced the practice to the public in China in the early 1990s, an estimated 70 million to 100 million people started practicing. Since then, the practice has spread to more than 100 countries around the world. Despite this, in China, the practice has been subjected to extreme persecution by the Chinese Communist Party.\n\nA rather serious issue is that some of you are often making personal attacks on important figures in government. But we are here to help people elevate spiritually and deliver them from danger, not make enemies. Truth be told, you shouldn’t be launching personal attacks on anyone, no matter how bad the person may be (with the exception being the Chinese Communist Party’s sinister, now-deceased despot, Jiang)—and particularly not on important figures in the United States’ two major political parties. Everyone is here for the Way, and all, on some level, are awaiting deliverance from this world. Yet personal attacks tend to breed strong resentment. And once that kind of intense feeling has formed, it is hard to undo. So how are you going to get through to people, in that case? And what’s more, doing that is likely to cause retaliation. Haven’t there been plenty of lessons along these lines? Most of us are outsiders here, and we aren’t deeply rooted in this society. We came here to escape persecution by the CCP, moreover. So we should be grateful, for the United States has opened its arms to us.\n\nWhen you write or speak, you should do so with the intent to help others elevate spiritually, and do so with love for your fellow man. Every Dafa practitioner—and not just those in the media—should ask themselves whether they are doing what someone who does spiritual practice in Dafa ought to. I can’t help but feel worried, looking back at how you’ve done. Many people have been lax in their spiritual practice for quite some time, and have been going about things just like anyone else in the world. That is hardly the spiritual state of someone who practices Dafa, right? You really need to take this problem seriously. Many of you who are involved in various media platforms need to start connecting your work with raising awareness and helping to free people from danger to their souls. If your only aim is to increase your click rate, that’s hardly the spiritual state of a Dafa practitioner. You are wasting large amounts of the limited time that is meant for rescuing people in these final days! You are going to regret that one day! A Dafa practitioner’s responsibility is to bring people out of peril, but if you carry on like this, your compassion is going to completely wither away! How is that anything like someone who leads a spiritual life? Think about the things that have happened: How could they not be related? There are higher beings protecting Dafa practitioners. When things go wrong, isn’t it a divine warning? Why haven’t you snapped out of it? And if something goes terribly wrong, isn’t it a matter of divine punishment? If you no longer have compassion in you, if you’ve lost sight of your responsibilities and mission, and have even forgotten about your spiritual goals, then you are bound to be just like everyone else in this world. And if the lines between Dafa practitioners and others are blurred, what will become of you as a group? Is that not frightening? And yet we are beings shouldering the greatest responsibility in the universe!\n\nI have always taught that you should not be involving yourselves in politics in the role of a Dafa practitioner, nor get involved in rivalries between political parties. The Democratic Party and the Republican Party are both just worldly entities. Every individual is someone whom the divine wants to save from this world. You have no business thinking that you will only try to help individuals who belong to one political party, and not the other. They are all my people! I as well as multitudes of divine beings wish to save them! It’s a different story, of course, if on some level a person doesn’t want to be saved. But as Dafa practitioners, you cannot pick and choose. Each and every person is divine by nature, and everyone came to this earth to learn about Dafa and gain deliverance.\n\nAlso, when you are commenting on things [with your media platforms], you should focus your discussion on the matter at hand, not on the individuals involved. Perhaps some individual handled something wrong in some regard, but is great with things in other regards. Some people’s thinking and beliefs are rather different, but it doesn’t mean they are bad people. To be able to regard anyone and everyone with compassion, to have love for all people, really isn’t something the average person can achieve. Harder still is it to have a sense of compassion toward all living things in everything you do. But that is something practitioners of Dafa have to be able to do! Spiritual development is a process, and so what I described might not be doable at the moment for those who are newer to the practice; but with time, as you develop further in your spiritual practice, you must manage to do that. Veterans of the practice need to do this now. This is something dictated by your historic mission, and it is something that every Dafa practitioner who aspires to spiritual greatness must achieve in their practice!\n\nYour Teacher, Li Hongzhi\n\nJune 6, 2024" + }, + { + "title": "‘The Ordeals Our Spiritual Discipline Faces,’ by Falun Gong Founder Mr. Li Hongzhi", + "url": "https://www.theepochtimes.com/falun-gong/the-ordeals-our-spiritual-discipline-faces-by-falun-gong-founder-mr-li-hongzhi-5663316", + "text": "After Mr. Li introduced the practice to the public in China in the early 1990s, an estimated 70 million to 100 million people started practicing.

When you try to save beings, the karma they made over their past lives gets triggered, and demonic entities will likely make use of it to cause disruptions and do harm anywhere, anytime. While Dafa practitioners follow their teacher and strive to save lives, they are working toward their own spiritual liberation and working off their own karma. Demonic entities try to exploit Dafa practitioners’ karma, however, and to block their efforts to save lives. Since those who are being saved cannot atone by themselves for all of their sins and karma from the past, divine beings have to compassionately absolve them of a portion of these, while leaving a portion for them to bear for themselves. I have to bear a portion of it for them, too. And so the more lives that are saved, the more I have to endure. You yourselves will meet with adversity if you are even just a little bit careless as you work to end the persecution.\n\nThe trouble that the practitioner-founded media company is now facing mainly owes to practitioners not doing well, though factors from other dimensions are also at work behind the scenes.

But that was your own thinking. You thought that it would be justifiable since you were using that money not for other ends but to fight the persecution, given that live organ harvesting is happening and people are dying from the persecution every single day. But you mustn’t forget that Dafa practitioners need to always act with integrity, or there will be problems.\n\nI know that in fact 15 percent of the karma still remains to be dealt with as we go about saving lives. That is what’s left after 20-some years of working to save lives. It is a huge amount, I know. And for this reason, things that spell enormous pressure for me, as well as burdens for me, will keep coming, one after another. Saving lives is difficult; it’s not as simple as it sounds. And that is why we are even seeing those saints in Shen Yun Performing Arts who are saving lives being plotted against.\n\nOur Dafa practitioners have been up against the CCP’s evil, enormous, and fierce propaganda machine, and they have seen the regime use the force of an entire nation to attack them in every aspect of their lives. The Dafa practitioners outside of China are few in number, so those who are parents have found ways for their children to help combat the persecution. To effectively support this cause, Fei Tian Academy of the Arts and Fei Tian College have seen to it that their students not only do well at academics, but also develop into artists who counter the persecution in nonviolent ways. They have shown the world what China was like before communism, helped people to see the CCP for what it is, exposed the persecution, and conveyed the message that the Divine is saving lives in the end times. During the performances, positive energy is used to dispel the adversity that people have in store for them, and this has benefited Americans along with the rest of the world. So each member of the Dafa community has been engaged in countering the persecution.\n\nIn China, all practitioners, children and adults alike, have been subjected to ordeals. Even young children have been imprisoned or died as a result of the persecution. Shen Yun gives some students a chance to perform with the company through a practicum arrangement. Their parents had hoped that they might be able to help combat the persecution while getting their education, and that was why they sent them to Fei Tian. During the admissions process, students have always been asked by the school why they wished to attend Fei Tian, and they have invariably responded that they wanted to help their teacher in the cause of saving lives. They yearn to one day perform with Shen Yun, expose the CCP’s persecution, and help rescue their brethren in China. All of us, young and old alike, feel a sense of responsibility for saving lives and countering the persecution. Some of the younger students are remarkably determined, in spite of their age. Working against the persecution is what we strive to do in our spiritual community. There is no government or corporation doing this alongside us. Be that as it may, there are still people trying to incite others to go after Shen Yun by claiming that young students who are minors are being used as performers, when they are in fact just participating in their practicum studies. It is only natural that all members of our community have felt compelled to do their part to counteract the persecution, given its unprecedented nature. If those are grounds for going after Shen Yun, then what has America come to?\n\nThe truth is, we shouldn’t expect to not face ordeals as a spiritual discipline just because we are in a certain location; it’s just that they assume different forms. And during these ordeals, lives are being chosen to either remain or be sifted out in the end, and just as much is at stake for our Dafa practitioners.\n\nYour Teacher, Li Hongzhi\n\nJune 5, 2024" + }, + { + "title": "Article by Falun Gong Founder Mr. Li Hongzhi", + "url": "https://www.theepochtimes.com/falun-gong/falun-gong-founder-mr-li-hongzhi-publishes-why-creator-seeks-to-save-all-life-5201909", + "text": "Mr. Li is a four-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee and was nominated by the European Parliament for the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought.

He furthermore used His own divine body to reduce and resolve the sinful karma of the multitude of lives! He has given everything of His in order to save all life.\n\nOver the course of those 200 million years, the Creator reincarnated with multiple bodies, countless in number, and laid the foundation for humanity’s culture in this world while overseeing and guarding humankind’s morals; this was done so that people might, one day—when, during the End Times, the age of salvation would come—meet the standard set for them by divine beings. People’s souls have reincarnated repeatedly over the long and drawn-out ages of history, and spent tens of millions of years in waiting. Over time, the true bodies of the souls of most of the world’s people (and this holds true for all ethnicities and races) established some form of familial tie with the Creator. This led the Creator to love the world’s people, His people, only more. With the arrival of the End Times, it became forbidden for lives without such a tie to become human; this was done so as to ensure that the task of salvation could be better fulfilled. By that time, the true bodies of the people on this Earth were all those of His people. And so too were the divine beings that people believe in, who incarnated as human beings and served to impart spiritual teachings. Their mission was to, while assuming human form, lay the cultural foundation intended by the divine for man’s salvation, in the end, by the Creator. The virtuous and authentic religions they left to this world have carried on in order to uphold morality as people await their eventual salvation by the Creator.

This includes a campaign of hate propaganda and censorship by the CCP, both in China and in the West. The Epoch Times, on the occasion of the Chinese New Year, is honored to provide a platform to Mr. Li.\n\nMr. Li is a four-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee and was nominated by the European Parliament for the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought. He is also the recipient of Freedom House’s International Religious Freedom Award.\n\nNew Year’s would normally be a time for sharing a few pleasant remarks about the occasion. But I am seeing imminent danger approaching humanity, and have been called upon by divine beings to pass along, for this reason, several things to everyone in this world. Each of what I am about to disclose is a higher, closely guarded secret, and these are being shared to provide a true picture of affairs, and to give people another chance at salvation.\n\nFirst is the question of how humankind came about. From the dawn of its creation to its final days, the universe has gone through an exceptionally long passage of time consisting of four stages: Formation, Stasis, Degeneration, and Destruction. When the final point of the Destruction stage is reached, the complete obliteration of everything in the greater cosmic body—which includes the universe in which we exist—takes place instantaneously, and all living things perish!\n\nWhen a person dies, it is just a matter of his physical body declining and breaking down, while his true soul (which is who he really is, and which does not die with the passing of his physical body) will continue on in a next life, being reborn. So just as the universe goes through formation, stasis, degeneration, and destruction, so too do human beings go through birth, aging, illness, and death. These are laws of the universe, to which even higher beings are subject, only the time span is longer, with the process being more drawn out in proportion to how great the beings are. Life and death are not painful for them, and they remain cognizant throughout these processes—to them, it is as if but changing outfits. Put differently, normally, lives do not really die. When the universe and the cosmos disintegrate at the final stage of the Formation-Stasis-Degeneration-Destruction process, however, lives will not be reborn, and there will be no more existence of life or matter, with all turning to dust and there being only emptiness. Currently, the human world is experiencing the last period in the Destruction phase of the Formation-Stasis-Degeneration-Destruction progression. Everything has changed for the worse in these end times, as fated, and destruction is thus imminent. And it is for this reason that the world is so troubled. Good thoughts are rare, people’s minds have become twisted, debauchery and drug abuse are rampant, and people subscribe to atheism. These are inevitable in the last stage of the cosmos, and bespeak of the time at which we have arrived!\n\nThe Creator cherishes all of the heavenly beings that exist as well as all of the lives that are good and kind, and all of the glorious creations in the cosmos. So at the beginning of the Degeneration stage, the Creator led a number of divine beings to the outermost plane of the cosmic body (known generally as “that which is outside the Divine Realm”), a place where there are no divine beings, and created Earth. But Earth hadn’t the capacity to exist independently; it needed for there to be a corresponding cosmic structure with which it could form a circulatory system involving life and matter. For this reason, the Creator made a larger expanse outside of the Earth, which higher beings refer to as the “Three Realms.” Before the final time of salvation arrived, no higher beings, however great, would be allowed to enter or exit this expanse without the Creator’s permission. The expanse of the Three Realms comprises three major realms: the Realm of Desire (yu), which is made up of the lives on this earth, including humankind; a second realm, the Realm of Likings (se), which is above it; and a third realm, further above, known as the Realm Without Likings (wu se). Each successive realm is higher and more glorious than that below it, though none can compare to the Divine Realm or the many heavenly kingdoms still higher. The “heaven” that people normally refer to is in fact within either the Realm of Likings or the Realm Without Likings, within the Three Realms. Each of the Three Realms has 10 planes within it, making for a total of 33 planes in all, if you include the Three Realms themselves. Human beings reside in the Realm of Desire, and this is the lowest of all planes, with the worst environment. Life is painful and short here, but more dreadful still is the fact that in the human world, few of the things people take to be truths are actually valid. What human beings hold to be true is on the whole considered the opposite in the larger universe (but an exception is the higher truths that holy beings have taught to man). For example, the divine does not consider it right for whomever is victorious in battle to become ruler, for territory to be seized by military force, or for the powerful to be seen as heroes, since killing and forcefully taking from others are involved. That is not the way of the universe, nor how higher beings go about things. Yet in the human world, these are inevitable and accepted. Those are the ways of the human world, but they are contrary to the ways of the universe. Thus, if a person wishes to return to heaven, he must follow true, higher laws and work on himself. Some people are content when they are doing a bit better in life than others. But such people are only comparing themselves with other human beings within this human realm, when everyone here is in fact living in what is considered to be the trash bin of the universe. The Three Realms were established at the outermost perimeter of the cosmic body, and everything here is made up of the lowest, crudest, and filthiest of particles—molecules, atoms, and the like. In the eyes of higher beings, this is where the trash of the universe is cast away. They thus regard this plane of molecules as dust or “clay” and see it as the lowliest of places. This is the origin of the belief held in some religions that man was made by the divine out of clay. Man was indeed formed out of matter at the molecular plane.\n\nWhen divine beings made man, they did so at the Creator’s behest, and He instructed them to each make human beings in their own unique image. For this reason, there are the white, yellow, black, and other races. While their outward appearances differ, the souls within them were given by the Creator. And that is why they have common values. The purpose that the Creator had in directing divine beings to make man was to make use of man in the final times when He would offer all lives of the greater universe—including holy beings—salvation.\n\nBut why would the Creator have divine beings create humans in such a lowly and inferior place? It was because, with this being the universe’s lowest plane, it is the most grueling of places, and only when things are trying and painful may a person elevate himself through spiritual practice and shed his or her karma. When a person, amidst painful experiences, still manages to keep kind thoughts, have gratitude, and be a good person, he or she is growing through it. Salvation is a process of ascending from low to high, and so one has to start from the bottom. Life is trying for anyone living here. There are the tensions between people when they are trying to make out better, there is the terrible state of the natural environment, and there is the fact that just getting by in life takes a great deal of thought and effort, to name just a few examples. All of these circumstances provide people with opportunities to develop themselves and lessen their karma. It is certain that going through hardships can help people to atone for their sins and karma. And anyone who manages to stay good-natured amidst painful situations and interpersonal troubles is going to build up merit and virtue and, as a result, will achieve the elevation of his or her soul.\n\nWith the arrival of modern times, the Creator had intended to utilize mainly the human body to save the many lives of the universe. And so the souls originally in the majority of human bodies here were replaced by those of higher beings, who incarnated in them. With a human body, they could reduce their karma and sins by enduring hardship. And in this place that is devoid of truth, they could, by holding fast to the higher truths taught by God and persevering in goodness and kindness, achieve the elevation of their souls. The end times are now upon us; the Heavenly Gate that leads out of the Three Realms has been opened, and the Creator is choosing such beings for deliverance.\n\nEverything in the universe had become impure during the Formation, Stasis, and Degeneration phases, and inferior to when creation was begun. And this is why things are heading for Destruction. In other words, everything in the greater universe has gone bad, the lives of creation are no longer as good as they were in the very beginning, are no longer pure, and all of them have accrued karma and sins. And this accounts for Destruction coming about. This kind of sin is what has been referred to in religious contexts as original sin. So that the universe could be saved, the Creator directed a multitude of higher beings and divine sovereigns to descend to the earth and assume human form in this setting, where they would suffer, elevate, atone for their sins, and forge themselves anew—re-ascending to heaven as a result. (The Creator has been re-making the universe at the same time as saving humankind.) The new universe is perfectly pure and simply glorious. If, in a trying setting like this, a person can still keep his thoughts virtuous; if he can hold his ground against the onslaught of modern values and views, and stick to traditional ones; and if he still believes in the divine in the face of assaults from the atheist and evolutionary camps, then that person will fulfill his purpose: to gain salvation and return to heaven. All of the madness now unfolding in the world was planned as such, for the final phase, by divine beings. Their goal was to test the lives here and see whether they were worthy of salvation, and give them a chance to, in the process, work off their sins and karma while going through difficult things. And all of this was done so that people could be saved and gain deliverance back to heaven.\n\nAll of this is to say that the purpose of people’s lives on this earth isn’t to accomplish something in the world. All of the intense efforts and attempts people make in life, and their drive to get what they want, which can even involve resorting to unscrupulous means, only make people immoral in the end. The reason people came to this world and became human was to atone for their sins and karma, and to make significant spiritual progress. People came to this world to gain salvation. They came and assumed human form to await the Creator and his salvation back to their heavenly kingdom. And while they waited, they built up merit over their many past lives, and that was the purpose of people’s rebirths. The troubled nature of this world is meant to make something great of these lives. Of course, there are some people who, when seeking divine help in times of duress, haven’t been satisfied with the outcome and started to loathe God—even turning against Him as a result. Some have even turned to the demonic, dark side, and committed still further sins and made yet more karma. Those whom this applies to had best quickly come around and beg God for forgiveness, if they are still to have a chance of reaching safety. Everything that happens in one’s life—whether it seems warranted or not—is, in reality, the karmic consequence of what one did in one’s past lives, for better or for worse. The amount of blessings and virtue that one built up in one’s past lives determine what fortune is in store in this lifetime, or perhaps the next. If one lives a blessed and virtuous life now, perhaps it will translate in one’s next lifetime into a high position and salary, or it might translate into different kinds of wealth and fortune. And this would also include whether one has a happy family, or even how one’s children turn out, and so on. This is the fundamental reason why some people are wealthy and others poor, why some hold positions of high rank while others are destitute and homeless. It’s nothing like the diabolical nonsense that sinister communism spouts about equality between rich and poor. The universe is fair. Those who do good are blessed for it, while those who do bad things will face payback—if not in this life, then in the next. For this is an immutable law of the universe! Heaven, Earth, the Divine, and the Creator alike are compassionate toward all lives. Heaven and Earth, just as with man and the divine, were made by the Creator, and it is never the case that He plays favorites with some lives and shortchanges others. The reason some people lead happy lives and others do not all comes down to rewards and retribution for past deeds.\n\nWhen you see people winning or losing in life, it appears to come about in a normal way from things in this world. But it is ultimately the karmic consequences of those people’s past doings. Whether people have something or not, or are winning or losing in life, is going to play out in ways that accord with this world. So no matter whether you are rich or poor in life, you should be sure to do good, refrain from doing bad things, stay good and kind, be spiritual and devout, and be happy to help others. And by doing so, you will build up blessings and virtue, and reap their rewards in the next life. In the past, the older generation in China would often talk about things like not lamenting your lot in life when things are hard and about earning a better next life by gaining virtue through good deeds. And the point was that it’s useless praying to God for help if you didn’t do good things in your former life and earn blessings. The universe has its laws, and even higher beings must obey them. Even they will be punished if they do things they shouldn’t. So things are not as simple as people take them to be. Should people expect higher beings to give them whatever they pray for? The prerequisite is that one has to have built up the blessings and virtue for it over past lifetimes. And so the things that come to you are on account of the blessings and virtue you have! This is what the laws of the universe dictate. But speaking on a fundamental level, getting what you want is not the ultimate goal of accumulating blessings and virtue. The real purpose of building those up is to pave the way for you back to heaven. And that is what’s most crucial, not the brief round of happiness that they can bring you in this lifetime!\n\nTeacher Li Hongzhi" + }, + { + "title": "Why Is Everyone Wearing Headphones?", + "url": "https://www.theepochtimes.com/opinion/why-is-everyone-wearing-headphones-5838013", + "text": "Commentary\n\nSure, I had headphones as a kid, large and puffy, designed to allow me to listen to music in my room without blasting it all over the house. They were fine but I rarely used them because they truly shut out the rest of the world.\n\nIf Mom knocked on the door, I would not hear it. If the phone rang—they were on the wall in those days—I would be oblivious. So I gave it up and stopped wearing them. The cords broke easily. The fashion went away.\n\nPutting things in one’s ears that emit sound has again become this odd cultural habit. It’s understandable given phones these days. You don’t want constantly to be holding it up to your ear, and you don’t want your conversations to be heard by all passersby. So you have earbuds and they are also useful for listening to music and podcasts and so on. I get it.\n\nMore recently, we’ve seen the ubiquity of large and ostentatious headphones, deployed as fashion statements and status symbols. People wear them everywhere. Some people never seem to take them off.\n\nIt’s exceedingly strange and somewhere disturbing and I do wonder what it all means. The masks have barely come off faces—there are still holdouts there—and now we have the popularity of ear masks that truly shut out the entirety of the audible world around the wearer.\n\nWill we ever return to be just fine to go through lives as wholly attentive and open-source people again, with trust in ourselves and others?\n\nTo me, these headphones scream to others: “I hate you and everyone else and want nothing to do with this world.” It’s the ultimate demonstration of aggressive unawareness. These people are shouting that they only want to hear and know what they and they alone want to hear and know. It’s as if they don’t want to be part of the steam of normal life. They want to pretend to be somewhere else.\n\nAs I was typing those words from a chair at the airport gate, an extremely loud buzzer came on. It was so loud that it was painful. The headphone wearers did not notice while the rest of us sat there for 20 minutes while the buzz screamed at us for reasons that were unclear. No one seemed to know what to do about it. Not only that, no one seemed particularly concerned.\n\nIt sounded a bit like a fire alarm but we all instinctively knew it was not that. It was just a thing that happens.\n\nFinally it went off and a pilot sat down next to me. I asked him about the loud sound. He said that it signifies that a door was closed improperly. I asked why it needed to ring out so loudly to everyone even though none of us could do anything about it. He laughed and agreed that it was dumb but that is how the system works. No one can control it.\n\nIt’s odd how filled our lives have become with strange and unavoidable beeps, buzzes, signals, and sounds of all sorts, all emanating from computers and all triggered by some event. When my dishwasher is finished, it beeps not once but fully 8 times. Why 8? It’s what the makers decided. The rest of us have to live with it.\n\nThe door beeps. The TV does too. Even the light switches in my hotel cough up some strange sound when turned off and on, and so does the coffee pot and the door, not to mention the elevator which positively aches with the desire to sound off at every conceivable opportunity. Everything that happens in the hotel offers a sound of some sort.\n\nI’m sure that every mechanic who programmed all these things was proud to add a sound at every change. Maybe they sign their technology the way painters sign canvases, just leaving their mark on stuff to make it clear that they were there. The rest of us live with it forever.\n\nWe are all victims of this constant and unavoidable electronic symphony. Or really, I should say cacophony because it seems like no one thought about the implications of the whole and what effect it would have when interacting with other sounds.\n\nAs a result, we live in a world of unrelenting, seemingly random, and wholly inescapable rackets everywhere.\n\nThere goes another loud buzzer, higher-pitched than the last one and of a shorter duration. What did it mean? Someone surely knows but the question remains. Why must absolutely everyone be subjected to listening to a loud alarm that no one understands and about which all but a handful of people can do anything at all?\n\nWhy is the world set up this way? It seems like a huge mistake.\n\nOf course, the airport is the worst offender by far. Announcements of various sorts never stop and the pauses between them are filled with jazzy saxophone music with an electronic drum beat. Is that supposed to relax us or fill us with a sense of fun? It doesn’t work. If you try to escape to a bar, it too is filled with loud music, on the presumption that we really have not heard enough of music from the 1980s.\n\nPerhaps, then, it is understandable why people wear these “noise-canceling” earmuffs in the airport. This is truly a place where one wants to cancel all noises and plunge deeply into a world of isolation in one’s own solitary mental space while shutting everything else out. I get it, but it is still sad that this should be necessary.\n\nTo be aware of one’s surroundings and attentive to the signs and sounds all around is an evolved trait that was once rewarded. Now it is punished. We are rewarded instead for creating technological isolation chambers.\n\nThe airport is one thing but headphones seem to have become a habit of many people everywhere they go and included with everything they do. It is not only about wanting to shut off unrelenting beeps, buzzes, alarms, and notifications. It is about wanting to leave the world as we know it.\n\nThere is a feature of autism that is characterized by sound sensitivity. Maybe that is part of what is at issue here. The condition affects far more people today than it once did.\n\nAnd yet there is surely more going on. Many people are still feeling broken from the mandatory isolation of 2020-2023 when our communities were shattered, kids were locked out of school, and we could not even gather in our worship communities of choice. We were told to treat others and ourselves as disease vectors, staying always six feet away.\n\nThe new golden age is said to be here but I have my doubts. Or let’s just say that it will be a long time coming. We’ll know that it is dawning when average people feel comfortable and happy enough to take off the masks, remove the headphones, put on something other than sweats and ripped jeans, smile and perhaps speak to others.\n\nWe need really to learn to live where we are—and make our spaces livable again—rather than always wishing we were somewhere else.\n\nViews expressed in this article are opinions of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times." + }, + { + "title": "Golden Dome: Learning From the Past to Gild the Future", + "url": "https://www.theepochtimes.com/opinion/golden-dome-learning-from-the-past-to-gild-the-future-5836499", + "text": "By Peter Mitchell\n\n4/7/2025Updated: 4/7/2025\n\nCommentary\n\nTwo months ago, President Trump directed the development of a national missile defense system initially dubbed “Iron Dome” and rebranded in February as “Golden Dome.” Its stated purpose is to establish a layered and integrated defense shield to protect the United States against ballistic missiles, hypersonic weapons, advanced cruise missiles, and other emerging aerial threats.\n\nThe executive order acknowledges that similar ambitions are not new. It references President Ronald Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative, noting that while it “resulted in many technological advances,” the program was ultimately “canceled before its goal could be realized.”\n\nHowever, the current order justifies renewed urgency, asserting that “over the past 40 years, rather than lessening, the threat from next-generation strategic weapons has become more intense and complex.” It specifically cites adversaries’ development of “next-generation delivery systems and their own homeland integrated air and missile defense capabilities.”\n\nSuccess in realizing this monumental undertaking will depend on avoiding past pitfalls while leveraging existing technologies and institutional expertise.\n\nLessons Learned From the 1980s\n\nPresident Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) of the 1980s—“Star Wars“—sought to create a space-based shield against Soviet ICBMs. Despite its astronomical vision, SDI never fully materialized due to several critical factors: technological overreach, sky-high costs, lack of coordination, and unrealistic goals without clear, phased implementation plans. The SDI called for—among other things—directed energy weapons to defeat enemy ICBMs at a time when such weapons were either embryonic or still in the realm of science fiction. When the INF and START treaties were signed in 1987 and 1991 respectively, the need for SDI quickly faded along with the Cold War.\n\nThe need for missile defense however, did not. The Golden Dome executive order indirectly refers to the SDI when it says, “Over the past 40 years, rather than lessening, the threat from next-generation strategic weapons—including hypersonic—has become more complex with the development of next-generation delivery systems by our adversaries.” Hopefully, unlike Disney’s recent efforts, this Star Wars sequel won’t be a disappointment.\n\nThe key difference between 2025 and 1985 is that much of the technology required already exists and has been battle-tested—most notably by Israel, and to a lesser extent Ukraine. Keep in mind, in the 1980s, the new fielded Patriot wasn’t even rated to reliably engage short-range ballistic missiles, to say nothing of ICBMs. Even anti-satellite weapons were on the very cutting edge.\n\nBuilding on Proven Technologies\n\nGolden Dome is an opportunity to leverage existing, proven defense technologies rather than incurring the massive cost-reimbursement contracts of all-new development. The U.S. has been refining these capabilities over decades through AIAMD, THAAD, Patriot, Aegis BMD, and the Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD), along with close, ongoing cooperation with the Israelis. These established systems provide the initial foundation upon which the Golden Dome can build. What is needed is to bring these systems all together with improved short-range sensors, and network them together on a scale like the planned Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) system.\n\nThe institutional air defense knowledge housed within major contractors like Lockheed Martin and Raytheon represents billions of dollars in prior investment and millions of engineering hours. Additionally, these companies possess large amounts of expertise in large-scale integration projects that will be crucial to the Golden Dome’s success. Their experience with complex command and control architectures gives them unique capabilities to tackle the integration challenges ahead.\n\nLessons in Integration\n\nAmerica’s defense challenges differ substantially from those of our allies and adversaries. But there are still valuable lessons to be drawn from successful past integration efforts. The development of layered defense networks by other nations demonstrates that combining technologies from multiple sources into a coherent system is possible with proper coordination and leadership.\n\nFor Golden Dome to succeed, the DoD must foster coordination between established defense contractors and innovative technology companies that reflect America’s unique strategic position and continental scale. Given the vastly different geographic and threat profile facing the United States, Golden Dome will need to pioneer new approaches rather than attempting to replicate foreign models.\n\nThe Challenge\n\nBill Morani, undersecretary of defense for acquisition and sustainment, noted that Golden Dome is “[both a] monster systems engineering problem [and] a monster integration problem.” The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) has established a phased Golden Dome timeline for capability delivery from 2026 to past 2030. Meeting these deadlines on a project of this scale will require an enormous amount of coordination between government agencies, stakeholders, and defense contractors.\n\nEstablished defense prime contractors offer critical advantages to the U.S. industrial base in this area. Their decades of experience working with the MDA, U.S. Northern Command, the military services and other defense agencies have created institutional knowledge and networks difficult to replicate. These companies understand the complex regulatory environment, certification requirements, and interoperability standards needed to incorporate a defense system this vast. They also bring the ability to manufacture at scale.\n\nAt the same time, tech hyperscalers and defense innovators are essential to the Golden Dome’s success. Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, and Google bring cloud infrastructure and advanced AI capabilities that will be critical for processing the massive data streams required for an integrated defense network. Companies like ShieldAI offer autonomous systems expertise, while Anduril and Palantir bring computational prowess and innovative approaches to data fusion. Their agility and fresh perspectives represent valuable additions to the defense industrial ecosystem.\n\nThe integration of these complementary capabilities is what will make Golden Dome possible. Large prime contractors bring irreplaceable experience in system integration, scaling production lines, and proven hardware platforms, while tech-focused firms contribute cutting-edge AI/software capabilities, cloud infrastructure, and novel approaches to data management needed for next-generation defense solutions.\n\nStarting Small: Guam\n\nRather than beginning with the overly ambitious goal of covering the contiguous United States, Golden Dome would benefit from a focused approach similar to Israel’s incremental development of its multi-tiered defense system. Guam presents an ideal testbed—a crucial and geographically contained area facing substantial threat from China, including thousands of drones and hundreds of cruise missiles and tactical ballistic missiles.\n\nOngoing and previous defense efforts on Guam have provided valuable data. A THAAD battery has been emplaced there since 2013. The temporary deployment of a U.S. Iron Dome battery to the island in 2021 demonstrated both possibilities and limitations of current technology when adapted to Guam’s defense needs. The MDA successfully tested the Aegis Guam System in December of 2024. The U.S. Army is planning on building out the multi-capable Task Force Talon already deployed on the island into a larger Guam Defense System (GDS) task force with improved short-range air and missile defense capabilities. Starting with a fully integrated defense of Guam would provide measurable success criteria, help refine integration approaches and establish protocols that could later be scaled to larger areas such as the National Capital Region, Hawaii, and Okinawa.\n\nThe Way Ahead\n\nGolden Dome needs clear, achievable milestones with tangible benefits at each stage. The defense of Guam represents an ideal first objective—strategically important, geographically defined, and facing concrete threats. Success there would validate the approach before expansion to other critical areas.\n\nThe Missile Defense Agency’s phased approach shows a keen awareness of this need for incremental progress and gates. By leveraging existing technologies and industrial capabilities while incorporating innovative approaches from newer companies, the DoD can maximize returns on taxpayer investment in an era of increasing defense efficiencies while accelerating deployment timelines.\n\nConclusion\n\nThe Golden Dome initiative represents America’s most significant integrated missile defense undertaking since the Strategic Defense Initiative. But unlike SDI, today’s effort benefits from mature technologies, battle-tested systems and proven capabilities, and decades of institutional knowledge within our defense industrial base.\n\nWithout focused leadership and integration expertise, the President’s decree risks becoming like Coleridge’s unfinished poem “Kubla Khan”—a grand vision interrupted. Just as the golden dome of Xanadu existed only as a fragmented vision in a dream, so too might America’s Golden Dome remain incomplete without the right military-industrial partnerships and strategic approach.\n\nFor Golden Dome to succeed where SDI faltered, it must incorporate the solidity of established defense primes with the liquid agility of newcomers, all while keeping costs in check and timelines tight. The DoD faces a daunting challenge, but with Guam as a proving ground and battle-tested technologies as building blocks, the initiative stands a fighting chance of fulfilling the President’s vision: a shield capable of protecting American power projection in an era of proliferating threats.\n\nFrom RealClearWire\n\nViews expressed in this article are opinions of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times." + }, + { + "title": "Tackling the Department of Defense’s Data Problem", + "url": "https://www.theepochtimes.com/opinion/tackling-the-department-of-defenses-data-problem-5836602", + "text": "Commentary\n\nThe Department of Defense (DOD) needs a single source of truth at the enterprise level to pass a full financial statement audit. More importantly, it needs this kind of self-awareness to be a smarter customer, a better manager, a more accountable steward of taxpayer funds and ultimately, to be more capable, ready, and lethal at warfighting.\n\nAs the Deputy and then Acting Under Secretary of Defense Comptroller when DOD underwent its first audit, it was my job to attack the department’s data problem. A look back at the origins of how we did this, by creating the Defense Department Advancing Analytics (Advana) capability, is useful in understanding its future.\n\nPut simply, Advana was to be the desired single source of truth for the Pentagon. It was designed to support the Department’s journey toward a clean opinion on its full financial statement audit. However, that was not the sole intent, and it was also clear from the start that supporting the audit was about much more than financial information and systems. It was about inventory, property, personnel, logistics, contracting, readiness, and cyber security. It was about knowing the defense culture and how to get all elements of the enterprise to willingly and openly share data.\n\nThe Advana vision included an end to time-consuming, unreliable, non-repeatable data calls. An end to arguing about the validity, comprehensiveness and currency of data. No more unanswered management golden questions about program performance and execution, operational readiness or battlefield situational awareness. Nor about the location, condition and quantity of parts, supplies, and equipment. It also envisioned a comprehensive, real-time picture of defense finances and a sophisticated tracking system for audit findings and recommendations, material weaknesses and progress toward a clean opinion. All of these things are related, dependent and necessary in one place.\n\nThe path to doing this involved identifying the most important, yet relatively basic, questions the Department could not easily answer, determining who owned the required data and then showing the benefits—to the data owners—of providing their information to an enterprise system.\n\nSounds easy. It was not.\n\nThings have changed since then, but the original vision remains. Advana has continued on its intended path. It now contains over 700 data sources—reflecting the complexity of the defense information environment that grew up with a warfighting, not a business acumen, focus. It supports more than 55 defense organizations and 76,000 users—with demand that continues to grow. It also has a road of improvement ahead, including infrastructure enhancements to accelerate and simplify use of new AI tools and use cases, application of emerging commercial tools to expedite workflow and support the platform in becoming more flexible, adaptable, and automatic for the decision-maker.\n\nWhile Advana has stayed true to its original vision, continuing to achieve scale requires a strong champion and simplified acquisition strategy that focuses on maintaining reliable and trustworthy data for a clean audit opinion while delivering warfighter outcomes.\n\nBut a few years ago, the team managing Advana was moved from the Comptroller to the new Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office. This move should be reversed. Advana should be moved back to Comptroller with a small government technical team responsible for building Advana’s data inventory, promoting customer outcomes, executing a simplified acquisition strategy, and managing a consolidated budget. The Comptroller has a unique and independent position within the Pentagon. It has a streamlined organization of very senior staff with a direct connection to the components and to DOD leadership. It is by nature focused on frugal stewardship and efficiency. Money—and financial information and systems—is still the key element of data transparency, analysis, and decision-making. But it does not, nor was it ever designed to, stand alone.\n\nThe audit journey is about much more than the ultimate clean opinion. It is about lasting improvements being made to business systems, cyber security, inventory and personnel management, data analytics, operational efficiency and ultimately, the decision superiority that underpins advances in warfighting.\n\nThe Department should continue to support Advana as the ultimate single source of truth as it pursues the clean audit opinion while recognizing that the origin story and vision for the capability was always about so much more than financial accountability. It was, and is, about government efficiency and empowering decision making that is crucial to the future of warfare.\n\nViews expressed in this article are opinions of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times." + }, + { + "title": "CCP Greatest Threat to US National Security", + "url": "https://www.theepochtimes.com/opinion/ccp-greatest-threat-to-us-national-security-5835856", + "text": "Commentary\n\nThe report, produced by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), is an unclassified, comprehensive overview of the most pressing threats to U.S. national security. Compiled by the National Intelligence Council in coordination with the Intelligence Community—an 18-agency federation that includes the CIA, NSA, and FBI—the report outlines dangers ranging from terrorism and transnational crime to state-sponsored cyberattacks and geopolitical rivals.\n\nWhile the report outlines a wide range of global threats, the Chinese regime is again identified as the top national security concern. It has held this position every year since 2019, except in 2022 when Russia briefly took the lead following its invasion of Ukraine.\n\nThe CCP is actively working to displace U.S. military and economic influence both regionally and globally through a combination of conventional military power, asymmetric tactics, and proxy networks. The regime’s cyber capabilities, pressure on Taiwan, and ambitions in artificial intelligence further elevate the threat. Additionally, Beijing is implicated in enabling nonstate actors, particularly Mexican cartels, by supplying chemical precursors and trafficking equipment, exacerbating America’s fentanyl crisis.\n\nThis year, Russia ranks second, driven by its ongoing war in Ukraine and deepening ties with regimes like North Korea. Following Russia is Iran, which is notable for its proxy warfare and nuclear ambitions. North Korea comes next, primarily due to its use of nuclear coercion and advancements in missile technology.\n\nIn addition, cyberattacks pose a growing danger to U.S. national security. Chinese cyber operations specifically target critical infrastructure, financial systems, media, and telecommunications as part of broader espionage and influence campaigns designed to weaken America’s technological and economic edge. These efforts are part of a wider pattern, as China increasingly coordinates with Russia, Iran, and North Korea—forming a loosely aligned bloc engaged in persistent, covert cyber aggression aimed at undermining U.S. dominance without provoking open conflict.\n\nBy 2035, the PLA aims to complete its transformation into an “intelligentized” force, leveraging artificial intelligence (AI), quantum computing, and machine learning to enhance autonomy and decision-making across its operations.\n\nThe long-term objective is 2049, the centennial of the People’s Republic of China, when Beijing seeks to establish a “world-class” military capable of projecting power globally and securing its growing political and economic interests.\n\nIn 2024, the PLA Navy’s third aircraft carrier (Fujian) began sea trials, the Rocket Force likely deployed the DF-27 hypersonic-capable missile, and ground forces enhanced long-range strike capabilities with the PCH191 rocket launcher. The PLA continues modernizing its missile systems, expanding electronic warfare capabilities, and improving readiness and training.\n\nThe Chinese regime is developing missile systems capable of striking U.S. territories such as Guam, Hawaii, and Alaska—and may be exploring conventionally armed intercontinental missiles that could reach the U.S. mainland. Beijing is also working to expand overseas military logistics through a mix of access agreements, co-located commercial and military infrastructure, and permanent bases.\n\nChina’s commercial space sector is also expanding, aiming to compete globally in satellite internet and other services. Militarily, China has developed a range of counterspace weapons—including electronic warfare systems, directed energy weapons, and antisatellite missiles—and has demonstrated capabilities that could support future space-based attacks on U.S. and allied satellites.\n\nIn 2025, the Chinese regime is expected to expand its malign influence operations to weaken the United States both domestically and globally, aiming to suppress criticism, sow division, and counter what it perceives as a U.S.-led campaign against the CCP. These efforts increasingly rely on advanced technologies, including AI-generated news anchors and fake social media profiles, to spread disinformation and exploit divisive issues, such as illegal immigration, illicit drug use, and abortion.\n\nThe 2025 Annual Threat Assessment makes clear that the CCP is not just a competitor but the most persistent and comprehensive threat to U.S. national security. Through military modernization, cyber campaigns, economic coercion, and influence operations, Beijing is executing a long-term, whole-of-state strategy—bolstered by growing alliances with other adversaries—to challenge American dominance across every domain.\n\nViews expressed in this article are opinions of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times." + }, + { + "title": "US Geopolitical Chess: Strategies Against China, Russia, and Iran", + "url": "https://www.theepochtimes.com/opinion/us-geopolitical-chess-strategies-against-china-russia-and-iran-5833908", + "text": "By Yang Wei\n\n4/6/2025Updated: 4/6/2025\n\nCommentary\n\nAs the United States brokers a cease-fire between Russia and Ukraine, the Trump administration’s unique strategies toward China, Russia, and Iran are becoming more apparent. At the same time, the administration is redefining alliances while urging partners to step up their defense instead of depending on America’s traditional generosity.\n\nThis multifaceted strategy aims to reshape the global order by isolating the three adversaries of the United States, with the ultimate goal of delivering a decisive blow to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).\n\nRussia Strategy\n\nPresident Donald Trump is focused on quickly resolving the Russia–Ukraine conflict by providing Moscow with a way out while maintaining pressure on the CCP, which remains his main target. After taking office, he shifted U.S. policy toward Russia, incorporating a mix of incentives and some level of coercion, with a stronger emphasis on the former. This strategy has yielded positive results, initiating discussions for a cease-fire.\n\nOn Jan. 22, just days into his presidency, Trump posted on his Truth Social platform: “I’m going to do Russia, whose Economy is failing, and President Putin, a very big FAVOR. Settle now, and STOP this ridiculous war! IT’S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE. If we don’t make a ‘deal,’ and soon, I have no other choice but to put high levels of Taxes, Tariffs, and Sanctions on anything being sold by Russia to the United States, and various other participating countries. Let’s get this war, which never would have started if I were President, over with!”\n\nThe Kremlin responded swiftly. On Feb. 12, Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke by phone, agreeing to start negotiations right away to halt the conflict, breaking a diplomatic stalemate.\n\nOn Feb. 18, the U.S. and Russian teams met in Saudi Arabia, resuming normal engagement and laying the groundwork for cease-fire discussions. By March 18, a second call between Trump and Putin focused on halting attacks on energy infrastructure. This initiated technical talks regarding a maritime cease-fire in the Black Sea, a broader truce, and a lasting peace deal.\n\nOn March 25, the White House detailed separate U.S. meetings with Russia and Ukraine, securing safe Black Sea navigation and a mutual pledge to spare energy infrastructure. The United States also committed to aiding Russia’s agricultural and fertilizer exports while helping Ukraine recover detained civilians and children displaced by Russia.\n\nThe next steps will likely address issues related to territorial borders, peacekeeping, sanctions relief, and security guarantees. As long as Moscow is cooperative, Trump will prefer to offer incentives. However, if Russia adopts a more rigid position, he is prepared to walk away, compelling the Kremlin to consider its alternatives—especially in light of potential betrayal by Beijing. Trump’s strategy focuses on creating a rift between Russia and China while simultaneously applying pressure on both nations.\n\nChina Strategy\n\nRegarding the CCP, Trump employs a dual approach of intense pressure and selective engagement.\n\nTariffs lead the charge. Citing China’s failure to stem fentanyl flows into the United States, he imposed an additional 10 percent tariff on Chinese imports effective on March 4.\n\nMoreover, G7 ministers, during a meeting in Canada on March 14, issued a statement that hardened their position on the Chinese regime’s trade practices, military expansion, and regional tensions. Notably, the joint statement did not reference the “One China” policy, indicating support for Taiwan’s participation in global organizations. Washington likely influenced this shift.\n\nThese actions rattled the CCP, yet Trump had sought to engage with Beijing.\n\nIn December, the U.S. president invited CCP leader Xi Jinping to his inauguration; however, Xi declined the invitation and sent his deputy, Han Zheng, in his place. The idea of a meeting between Xi and Trump generated significant interest, but it appeared that the White House was merely trying to gauge reactions and test the waters.\n\nOn March 22, Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.) visited Beijing, where he discussed the issue of fentanyl with Vice Premier He Lifeng and suggested the possibility of future high-level talks. Later, Daines also met with Chinese Premier Li Qiang, who told the United States to opt for “dialogue” rather than “confrontation.”\n\nYet Beijing’s actions suggest resistance. On March 24, it enacted an anti-foreign sanctions law, signaling defiance.\n\nWashington acted quickly. The next day, the United States added 42 Chinese entities to its export restriction list and imposed a 25 percent tariff on all goods imported from those countries that purchase Venezuelan oil, essentially halting China’s purchases.\n\nBeijing remains resolute in its stance against the United States. A virtual meeting on March 26 between U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng resulted in no progress. Additionally, Li Ka-shing’s sale of Panama Canal port rights to BlackRock on March 4 drew late criticism from Beijing, but this response came too late to be of any significance.\n\nIran Strategy\n\nTrump has not overlooked Iran, especially following the country’s naval drills with China and Russia on March 9.\n\nThe U.S. president sent a letter to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in early March, seeking to negotiate a deal to restrain Tehran’s rapidly advancing nuclear program.\n\nHowever, Khamenei rejected direct negotiations with the United States over the issue, saying, “Some foreign governments and domineering figures insist on negotiations, while their goal is not to resolve issues but to exert control and impose their own agendas.”\n\nOn March 15, as the trilateral exercise ended, U.S. forces struck Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth declared it a warning to Tehran: “An era of peace, through strength, is back.”\n\nTrump followed up with a social media post on March 17, vowing “great force” against Houthi retaliation and holding Iran accountable for arming the terrorist group. Two days later, he demanded Iran halt supplies “immediately,” predicting the Houthis’s swift defeat.\n\nThe strikes served a dual purpose: they sent a message to Beijing and Moscow. Following a meeting on March 14 in Beijing that involved representatives from China, Russia, and Iran discussing Tehran’s nuclear program, Trump’s escalation with the Houthis undermined Beijing’s mediation efforts. As U.S.–Russia–Ukraine discussions progressed in Saudi Arabia, it highlighted Trump’s willingness to pivot against Moscow if necessary.\n\nTrump is playing a different game with China, Russia, and Iran to divide them, aiming to hit the CCP the hardest.\n\nThe Bigger Picture\n\nIn a chaotic, uncertain world, Trump effectively utilizes every available resource. The United States must bring all its resources together to confront the CCP. The sooner America’s allies and partners understand this strategy and offer their support, the faster the CCP will weaken and potentially collapse.\n\nOnce the CCP falls, Russia will lack the means to sustain its war efforts, Iran will find itself without a backer, and terrorist organizations will struggle to survive. Only then can global stability be restored, the international order reestablished, and nations begin to enjoy a peaceful existence.\n\nViews expressed in this article are opinions of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times." + }, + { + "title": "Startup Success Isn’t a Formula; It’s an Emergent Order", + "url": "https://www.theepochtimes.com/opinion/startup-success-isnt-a-formula-its-an-emergent-order-5836615", + "text": "Commentary\n\nSome startup ideas are so obviously bad that no one questions passing on them. Others, though, sit in a strange space — outliers that don’t fit the conventional mold. These are the ones that, at first glance, seem weird but intriguing. Maybe your friends and family think you’re crazy for considering them. Maybe even you hesitate, wondering if you’re wasting your time, because not every outlier is a breakthrough, many are just noise.\n\nIf that doubt was enough to make you walk away, it was probably for the best, not because the idea itself was bad, but because being an outlier felt overwhelming and/or you never truly believed in it. For an idea to have a chance, you need to believe in it long before others do.\n\nThe greatest innovations don’t emerge from a checklist; they arise from an obsession with understanding something that others overlook. If you’re trying to “pick” a startup idea like an investor picks stocks, you’re already missing the point. The best work happens when you follow what fascinates you, not what seems lucrative. If you want to build something meaningful, don’t start with an agenda, start by learning. The best work doesn’t stem from calculated ambition but from curiosity.\n\nWhy do I say that? The moment you start treating an idea like an equation, you’re likely driving it straight into a dead-end. A groundbreaking idea doesn’t emerge from a blog post on startup trends or by asking, “What’s a good startup idea?” Ideas aren’t fish waiting to be caught in a crowded sea.\n\nThis means that breakthrough ideas don’t emerge from deliberate calculation alone — they arise from the spontaneous connections our minds form between seemingly unrelated concepts. When you obsess over a particular problem, your brain works on it in the background, making associations beyond what you can consciously track. What feels like a sudden “aha” moment is often the result of countless micro-processes happening beneath the surface, aligning scattered thoughts into a cohesive insight.\n\nThis is why the best startup ideas don’t arise from forceful ideation sessions but from immersion in a field, an ongoing fascination with a problem, and an openness to discovering unexpected connections. If you feel drawn to an idea without fully understanding why, it might not be randomness — it could be your mind naturally assembling pieces of a puzzle you didn’t even know you were solving. Hayek wrote,\n\n“We can never form a crystal or a complex organic compound by placing its constituent individual atoms in the lattice of a crystal or in the benzole circle of an organic compound. But we can create the conditions under which they can be so organized.” (Hayek, 1973:61)\n\nHayek’s theory of “spontaneous order,” which describes how complex structures emerge organically rather than through central planning, isn’t just an economic insight; it’s a guiding principle for founders.\n\nHayek provides an even deeper insight into why this happens. He argues that the human mind does not process information in a purely logical or algorithmic way. This means that the best ideas are not built top-down; they evolve naturally as our brains make connections between previously unlinked concepts.\n\n“Order with the help of disorder is the rule, and we are a long way from the determinism of classical physics. ” — Ilya Prigogine, Nobel Laureate, Belgian physical chemist\n\nAn idea, much like a market, is not created through sheer force of will. It arises when the right elements interact under the right conditions. Hayek describes this as a “classification apparatus” — our brains are not just passive receivers of information but active processors, constantly categorizing and reinterpreting data based on past knowledge. This explains why the best startup ideas often don’t come when you’re actively searching for them but when seemingly unrelated knowledge and experiences collide in unexpected ways. The mind operates as a decentralized, spontaneous system — mirroring the same principles that drive markets and innovation.\n\nThink of it like a puzzle. Imagine you’re handed 1,000 scattered puzzle pieces without knowing what the final picture looks like. If you try to force pieces together, you’ll only create a distorted image. But if you patiently explore the relationships between pieces, allowing the pattern to reveal itself, the picture gradually takes form. This is how spontaneous order works, both in markets and in idea generation. You can’t dictate innovation through brute force; you have to recognize patterns, piece by piece, as they emerge.\n\nThe biggest breakthroughs often began as side projects, curiosities, or unexpected discoveries. Paul Graham has spoken about this extensively: the best founders aren’t just chasing an outcome; they’re consumed by the question itself.\n\nSo don’t force an idea into existence. But if the process of exploring an idea feels like oxygen, if abandoning it feels like suffocation, you have your answer. The best ideas aren’t discovered; they evolve. The ones worth pursuing won’t let you walk away.\n\nViews expressed in this article are opinions of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times." + }, + { + "title": "US Broadcasting Into China Needs an Authentic American Voice to Live On", + "url": "https://www.theepochtimes.com/opinion/us-broadcasting-into-china-needs-an-authentic-american-voice-to-live-on-5836300", + "text": "Commentary\n\nBoth media outlets are significant sources of information for Chinese people seeking alternative viewpoints to counter communist propaganda.\n\nAs U.S.–China tensions rise and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) increasingly shows hostility toward the West, the United States will need VOA and RFA’s unique window into China—but not without change.\n\nI still remember how we relied on VOA broadcasting during the 1989 student-led pro-democracy movement. I was in college at the time. Most of China was misled by the CCP’s propaganda, which claimed that not a single student was killed on Tiananmen Square and that so-called bad people who collaborated with foreign anti-Beijing forces were responsible for the deaths of Chinese soldiers. However, those of us who listened to VOA knew the reality was completely different.\n\nRFA was established after the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre, under the International Broadcasting Act of 1994, to make facts available to Asian countries with limited access to unrestricted media.\n\nTo Chinese listeners at the time, VOA represented the beacon of hope and freedom that America was all about, and RFA was more pro-democracy and anti-CCP. But that’s no longer the case.\n\nOver the years, the CCP narratives have seeped into the organizations’ messages; VOA and RFA have hired many journalists from China.\n\nMy good friend Tang Baiqiao—a well-known political dissident and former student leader in the 1989 pro-democracy movement—used to be a regular contributor to VOA. However, about a decade ago, he discovered that he had been placed on a blacklist by a new manager, who was previously a reporter for Xinhua News Agency. This manager’s father was the chief correspondent for the People’s Daily in the United States during the 1980s and 1990s. As a result of this blacklist, Tang has been excluded from all programs, including one featuring Peter Navarro’s 2011 book “Death by China,” for which he wrote the foreword.\n\nMore and more mainland Chinese faces have shown up in VOA and RFA. Statutorily, the organizations cannot disqualify job candidates by affiliation with the CCP. Hence, top talent from China’s outlets like Xinhua News Agency and Chinese Central Television (CCTV) easily outperformed others in the hiring process.\n\nConsequently, the tones of VOA and RFA have become subtly more favorable to the CCP. Tang describes it as “minor criticism lending a big help.” That is a media category in the CCP’s united front strategy; sometimes, those who appear to be critical of the CCP have more influence and can be used sporadically to assist with critical communist narratives.\n\nSuch Chinese individuals have also infiltrated the management of VOA and RFA. Together with managers with a left-leaning mainstream media background, they can no longer be trusted to expose the CCP’s evildoings.\n\nSuch is the sad reality for their loyal Chinese audience.\n\nOne of the whistleblowers with a journalism background immediately turned pale and fled the room. He knew that overseas journalists from Chinese media agencies were spies.\n\nMany seasoned liberal media journalists end up working at the VOA’s Central News Office, managing the editorial guidelines.\n\nNow, amid rising tensions between the United States and the CCP, the United States must maintain a Chinese-language news platform representing American values.\n\nIn particular, VOA, with its legacy of more than 80 years, has served as a vital soft power asset for the United States.\n\nTherefore, I am cautiously optimistic that VOA and RFA will survive by refocusing on their original missions.\n\nCorrection: A previous version of this article misspelled the name of Tang Baiqiao.

A recent RAND piece—“Hezbollah’s Networks in Latin America”—finds that this oversight may prove increasingly costly as the organization adapts its regional strategy amid mounting financial and structural pressures. The implications for homeland security warrant consideration: Hezbollah’s Latin American networks could exploit cross-border vulnerabilities, manipulate existing trafficking routes into U.S. cities, and potentially leverage criminal networks for intelligence collection or operational support within the United States.\n\nThe October 2023 Hamas attacks on Israeli soil and subsequent escalation have dramatically altered regional dynamics, with recent Israeli strikes eliminating key Hezbollah leadership figures, including Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah. As the organization faces unprecedented operational constraints in Lebanon, Syria, and elsewhere, its Latin American networks—historically, used predominantly for fundraising—could become increasingly valuable for providing operational redundancy and alternative bases of operation far from its primary theater.\n\nProven Capability, Persistent Intent\n\nHezbollah’s Latin American footprint is neither new nor theoretical. The organization has maintained a presence in the region since the early 1980s, establishing networks that span at least 12 countries from Mexico to Argentina. Their composition—a complex web of direct operatives, ideological supporters, opportunistic criminal partners, and diaspora community members with varying degrees of organizational connection—makes these networks particularly challenging to counter.\n\nThese diffuse networks have demonstrated both fundraising capacity and operational capability, most devastatingly through the 1992 bombing of the Israeli embassy and the 1994 attack on the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, which killed 85 people and injured more than 200.\n\nMore recently, in November 2023, Brazilian authorities disrupted a suspected Hezbollah cell planning attacks against Jewish targets—just one month after the Oct. 7, 2023, attack in Israel. In 2024, Argentinian authorities flagged possible Hezbollah activity at a high-volume port in Iquique, Chile, after spotting Assad Ahmad Barakat—one of Hezbollah’s most notorious money launderers. Though we cannot conclusively link the Brazilian plot and Barakat’s presence to changing dynamics in the Middle East, these developments suggest Hezbollah affiliates may be attempting to fill operational and funding gaps after incurring massive losses. Defense strategists should pay careful attention to the continuity of intent and the organization’s proven ability to execute high-casualty operations thousands of miles from Lebanon.\n\nAlthough Hezbollah has historically received at least 70 percent of its funding from Iran, its Western Hemispheric networks provide critical supplementary revenue through sophisticated criminal enterprises. These include drug trafficking, arms smuggling, document fraud, and money laundering operations, often conducted in partnership with local criminal organizations. The Ayman Joumaa network, for instance, laundered hundreds of millions of dollars through cocaine trafficking and used car sales in the U.S. before the Department of Homeland Security’s Customs and Border Protection, Federal Bureau of Investigations, and other U.S. agencies disrupted its operations.\n\nThe terror-crime nexus may represent a strategic evolution rather than mere opportunism. By embedding itself within existing criminal ecosystems, Hezbollah simultaneously achieves multiple objectives: diversifying funding sources beyond Iranian patronage, establishing plausibly deniable operational capabilities, and developing relationships that could be leveraged for logistical support during heightened conflict.\n\nTwo geographical hubs have emerged as critical for Hezbollah’s regional presence: the Tri-Border Area—where Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay meet—and Venezuela under the Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro regimes. Each offers distinct advantages. The Tri-Border Area provides a semi-lawless environment with limited law enforcement oversight—conditions that Hezbollah operatives exploited when planning and coordinating logistics for the 1994 Buenos Aires bombing. Venezuela, by contrast, offers explicit state support, including political protection, passport provisioning, and transportation networks through state-owned enterprises like CONVIASA airline.\n\nVenezuela’s strategic partnership with Iran, formalized in a 20-year cooperation agreement in 2022, has further strengthened Hezbollah’s position. Maduro explicitly aligned his country with Iran’s “Axis of Resistance,” creating an environment where Hezbollah operatives can move freely, access resources, and potentially develop operational capabilities with limited scrutiny.\n\nThrough a coordinated approach that includes cultural centers, educational scholarships, media operations like HispanTV, and diplomatic infrastructure in Latin America, Iran more broadly cultivates influence that creates an environment potentially sympathetic to Hezbollah. The 2023 Spanish translation and distribution of Supreme Leader Khamenei’s memoir exemplifies Iran’s efforts to build regional, ideological connections—a pattern that mirrors Hezbollah’s historical development in Lebanon.\n\nExtending beyond traditional diplomacy, Iranian embassies have been identified in congressional testimony and regional security analyses as potential hubs for covert activities. Meanwhile, investigations have documented Iranian involvement in illegal gold mining operations in Venezuela’s Orinoco Mining Arc, providing financial resources that could indirectly support Hezbollah’s regional networks.\n\nThe Information Deficit\n\nDespite these concerning patterns, stakeholders rely on outdated public information to understand Hezbollah’s Latin American networks. The most recent unclassified analysis specifically addressing terrorist threats in Latin America, including Hezbollah, was published almost a decade ago. The last focused public congressional hearing on Iran and Hezbollah in the Western Hemisphere occurred even earlier in March 2015.\n\nThis knowledge gap isn’t merely an academic concern—it fundamentally undermines the nation’s operational effectiveness in combating terrorism, particularly at the U.S. southern border. Without a current, shared understanding of how Hezbollah’s networks function, agencies tend to focus on individual criminal cases rather than recognizing and disrupting the broader organizational infrastructure. Diminished public focus has additional consequences: the U.S. Departments of Homeland Security and Justice can struggle to build cases with dated evidence, financial institutions may lack current typologies to detect evolving money laundering schemes, and regional partners may operate with obsolete threat assessments that fail to capture new operational patterns. This fragmented approach allows Hezbollah affiliates to adapt quickly, replacing disrupted cells while maintaining strategic continuity.\n\nAs I detail in “Hezbollah’s Networks in Latin America,” robust unclassified analysis serves several critical functions beyond classified intelligence channels. It enables informed public discourse, supports legal proceedings, facilitates diplomatic engagement with regional partners, and helps counter potential disinformation campaigns. Enhanced public understanding through unclassified assessments can also build support for counterterrorism initiatives and foster international cooperation.\n\nThe volatility of Middle East dynamics, combined with increased U.S. support for Israel, creates conditions where Hezbollah might be more inclined to leverage its global networks more aggressively, including in Central and South America. While the organization may prioritize its immediate sphere of influence, its established Latin American infrastructure provides options for asymmetric responses that minimize direct escalation in the Middle East.\n\nAs policymakers put pen to paper on future security frameworks, understanding Hezbollah’s Latin American operations is a component that must not be overlooked. Moving beyond the historic pattern of exaggerating or dismissing the organization’s capabilities requires a comprehensive, evidence-based approach open to public audiences. Only through such rigorous, open-source analysis can a public understanding of these evolving threats be developed, leaving no significant vulnerabilities unaddressed at a moment when Hezbollah may be increasingly motivated to exploit them.\n\nFrom RealClearWire\n\nViews expressed in this article are opinions of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times." + }, + { + "title": "Protecting Medicaid Coverage Is Crucial for Fighting Opioid Crisis", + "url": "https://www.theepochtimes.com/opinion/protecting-medicaid-coverage-is-crucial-for-fighting-opioid-crisis-5836585", + "text": "Commentary\n\nOne of the most important—and difficult—roles of government is to craft a budget rooted in reality, in which spending is aligned with revenue. When I took office as governor of New Jersey, the state faced an $11 billion deficit on a $29 billion dollar budget. I’ll be the first to admit that the process of closing that enormous gap was slow, grueling work, and it rarely left anyone happy. Even so, it was also an opportunity to embrace new ideas, strengthen existing policies, and eliminate inefficient spending. The end result? A balanced budget that was smaller than the year before.\n\nAs tough as the budget situation was in New Jersey when I took office, our federal budget is in even more desperate need of an overhaul. Considering that the national debt currently stands at a staggering $36.2 trillion—with interest on the debt now exceeding the defense budget—coupled with the recognition that there has been an annual federal deficit for the last quarter century, it should be clear that significant and well thought out program reforms and spending cuts are essential to turn things around. Congress has begun this important work with the budget resolution and will now spend the coming months on budget reconciliation legislation reducing spending to meet real world fiscal targets.\n\nYet even as every program is reviewed and necessary cuts enacted, it is vital that our most important priorities be maintained—one of which is continuing the progress being made combating the opioid epidemic.\n\nThe opioid crisis continues to be a plague on American health, well-being, and prosperity. More than 645,000 lives have been lost, a number made even more painful to bear considering that each of those lives touched countless others among us—family members, friends, and colleagues. States, communities, schools, and families across the country have grappled with the devastating consequences of substance abuse and have called upon our nation’s leaders to lead the charge against this silent killer. Leaders in both parties have answered the call at both the state and federal levels through bipartisan support to raise awareness, improve prevention, and expand access to treatment. One of the most effective ways of providing access to treatment is the Medicaid program, which provides coverage for medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and other forms of care for opioid and substance use disorders (OUDs/SUDs).\n\nNow is not the time to risk progress by unwinding reforms that have been so effective. Now is the time for Congress to safeguard access to OUD/SUD treatment in the budget reconciliation process. OUD/SUD recovery cannot occur without adequate treatment, adequate treatment cannot take place without Medicaid, and Medicaid requires the continued support of the federal government.\n\nViews expressed in this article are opinions of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times." + }, + { + "title": "Creation of Abundance Is a Corporation’s Purpose", + "url": "https://www.theepochtimes.com/opinion/creation-of-abundance-is-a-corporations-purpose-5836452", + "text": "By Terrence Keeley\n\n4/5/2025Updated: 4/5/2025\n\nCommentary\n\nDoes capitalism need to be fixed? Is it no longer fit for purpose in this modern era, given our environmental ecosystems are under self-evident strain and income gaps are widening to levels not seen since the “robber baron” era?\n\nThis was the question I was called to answer at David and Philippa Stroud’s inspiring and expanding Forum last weekend. I rephrased the question slightly: Can capitalism promote the common good? Joining me in the discussion were Rand Stagen, Doug Rauch, and Steve Hall—successful entrepreneurs who have coached CEOs to greatness, led iconic Trader Joe’s from near irrelevance to triumph and lifted a marginal automotive company to multi-billion dollar heights. All three of these remarkable entrepreneurs have since graduated to running Conscious Capitalism, an advocacy group that believes business can benefit everyone, most especially when purpose meets profit.\n\nOver Q&A, the discussion turned as it inevitably does to Milton Friedman’s 1970 article “The Social Responsibility of Business Is to Increase Its Profits.” Friedman’s New York Times classic has been credited with spawning Gordon Gekko’s ignominious claim that “Greed is good,” as well as oligarchic tyranny theories which Bernie Sanders effectively promotes and derides. Capitalism’s undeniable negative externalities are why a majority of millennials and Gen-Zers today have concluded socialism would be a superior socio-economic framework.\n\nAnd that’s when controversy ensued. Nobel Laureate Friedman never said businesses should promote profits without guardrails. What he actually wrote is that it is the responsibility of business “to make as much money as possible while conforming to the basic rules of society, both those embodied in law and those embodied in ethical custom.” These two addendums about rules and customs are crucial. And they allowed me to highlight something Adidas has recently done that millennials, Gen-Zers, and Gordon Gekko alike can all rightly applaud.\n\nWorking with Parley Ocean Plastic, Adidas has committed to replacing all the virgin polyester in their products with recycled polyester derived from oceanic plastic waste. This program has been remarkably successful, and it is not all Adidas is doing to rejuvenate the planet. Through their “Made to Be Remade” program, once you’ve had your full run with their shoes and apparel, instead of tossing them in the trash you can send them back to Adidas to be recycled, meaning much less garbage ends up in landfills. Proof of the success of this environmentally mindful strategy comes from the market, however. Since embarking upon their ambitious recycling journey in 2015, Adidas’ stock has risen nearly 400 percent—meaning they have tapped into new consumer demands, opened new markets, and dramatically benefitted their bottom line. Planet protections have handsomely fattened Adidas shareholders’ wallets.\n\nSo, is this an example of stakeholder capitalism—or merely capitalism as Milton Friedman defined it? I would argue it is the latter, perhaps inspired by the former. Like Milton Friedman, I would further argue it is the type of capitalism all public companies should strive for.\n\nConsumer attitudes evolve. Farsighted companies like Adidas find ways to change with them. Adidas’ consumer strategy was met with commercial success. This means it can be sustained. Other nobly-minded public corporate officials evolved faster than consumers did—like Emmanuel Faber at Danone or Bud Light’s marketing team. They misunderstood the market and ultimately saw their sales and profits plummet. They are no longer making corporate decisions. Too many stakeholder capitalist instincts are like these: well-intended but unsustainable. If enduring impact is a public company’s goal, its bottom line must remain black. If growing impact is part of a public company’s calling, growing profits and rising stock prices are essential.\n\nSo what should we conclude about the future of capitalism and its role in promoting the common good? For stakeholder capitalism to succeed, it must remain capitalistic—and for a society to succeed, ubiquitous public virtue is needed. Business’s potential role in propagating such virtues is circumscribed. Greater public mindfulness spawned by the universal principles of human dignity, subsidiarity, and solidarity would undoubtedly promote broader social inclusivity and lasting environmental sustainability, aspirations largely enunciated by the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals. Great companies may well find ways to reinforce these virtues and benefit from their broader acceptance—but they must also find ways to persevere when we humans fail to be all we can and should be, something we invariably seem to do.\n\nThe ultimate purpose of a corporation is to mindfully generate the material abundance society needs to make our way, as John 12:35-36 and Isaiah 42:16 suggest, through the darkness to the light. If business can further amplify light along the way, all the better. We humans will likely to get the future we work towards. My hope is that greater mindfulness will lead to greater inclusivity, sustainability, and economic growth. Within profit’s constraints, business can and should make all three of these goals more attainable—and within prevailing rules and social customs, should not actively thwart them.\n\nFrom RealClearWire\n\nViews expressed in this article are opinions of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times." + }, + { + "title": "Diabetes Medications Linked to Increased Risk of Thyroid Cancer", + "url": "https://www.theepochtimes.com/health/diabetes-medications-linked-to-increased-risk-of-thyroid-cancer-5797157", + "text": "A recent study suggests a possible link between thyroid cancer and diabetes drugs like Ozempic and Rybelsus, especially in the first year of use.\n\nPeople within the first year of GLP-1RA treatment had a 1.85 times higher chance of being diagnosed with thyroid cancer.

At the heart of the issue lies a disrupted gut microbiome, where the balance between microorganisms has been tipped in favor of overgrowth.\n\nBy identifying the factors that fuel microbiome disruption and implementing strategies to restore balance, you can reduce the fungal load and experience much-needed relief.\n\nA Western diet that is low in fiber and high in processed fats and added sugar is a major factor, as it causes inflammation over time and reduces healthy gut bacteria, making it easier for Candida to grow, she said.\n\nThe processing of Western foods often involves adding preservatives, heating, and hulling—the removal of the outer coat of grains or seeds—all of which affect the microbes in the food. While these processes help reduce spoilage and harmful bacteria, they also strip away beneficial bacteria essential for controlling Candida levels.\n\n“Balance is the key to a healthy microbiome, which is crucial for controlling overgrowths like Candida,” said Bragagnini.\n\nThe anti-Candida diet limits carbohydrate and added sugar intake, as sugar fuels the growth of Candida. It also involves avoiding yeast-containing foods, such as baked goods, yeast-leavened breads, alcohol, and vinegar—except for raw apple cider vinegar.

However, this creates a problem, says Dr. Lisa Diller, an oncologist and study lead, who is a physician at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Boston Children’s Hospital.\n\nResearchers say that their study may help childhood cancer survivors make more informed health decisions, as their aging process differs from that of most people.\n\n“Our ability to measure more than one outcome, and to predict what will happen in mid- and late adulthood, is limited,” said Diller.\n\n“This study gives a more comprehensive picture of survivor health over a lifetime,” said Yeh, who developed the simulation model and is a researcher at Boston Children’s Hospital. It also provides a more realistic view than previous studies that focused on short-term risks or a single condition, she noted.\n\nHistorically, all children with leukemia received cranial radiation to prevent cancer recurrence in the brain, Diller said. However, over time, doctors realized that this treatment caused significant long-term cognitive issues and executive function problems. As a result, the use of radiation has dramatically decreased in recent years.\n\nNevertheless, children treated for leukemia without radiation still experience accelerated aging, with health issues appearing about 10 years earlier than expected. According to the researchers, this suggests that the treatments themselves—whether chemotherapy or the experience of cancer—contribute to long-term health risks, not just radiation.\n\nThe Harvard findings support a shift in health policy: childhood cancer survivors need tailored health care as adults and early interventions to manage health risks that appear earlier than expected. This approach would focus on preventing, managing, and monitoring chronic conditions that emerge prematurely as a result of cancer treatments.\n\nYeh stated that their findings suggest that survivors should begin early screenings for conditions like breast cancer, colon cancer, and heart disease, and to consider preventive treatments such as tamoxifen, used to reduce the risk of breast cancer, or beta blockers to protect the heart.\n\nExperts also recommend lifestyle changes in managing these risks, including regular exercise, a healthy diet, and limiting alcohol consumption.\n\nDiller noted the importance of health systems integrating long-term survivorship care into routine healthcare. As she explains, these survivors need ongoing support to address both the immediate and long-term effects of their cancer treatment.\n\n“You might interpret their real age to be more like in their 50s or 60s, depending on which late effects you’re looking at,” Diller said. “Everything’s advanced by 10 or 15 or 20 years.”" + }, + { + "title": "Andrew Marvell’s ‘The Garden’ and the Restorative Power of Nature", + "url": "https://www.theepochtimes.com/bright/andrew-marvells-the-garden-and-the-restorative-power-of-nature-5836418", + "text": "In the poem, Marvell (1621–1678) compares ambition and achievement with the verdant beauty and gentle peace of nature, suggesting that true contentment is found in the latter, and not the former. Marvell celebrates contemplative solitude, the appreciation of nature, and spiritual values, while criticizing the values that society so often promotes, including ambition, success, and sensual passion.\n\nThis is an interesting critique of society from a man who was best known during his lifetime for his political activity and authorship of erotic poems such as “To His Coy Mistress.” Yet Marvell’s shift of perspective makes some sense if he wrote this work in retirement, around 1650, as most critics believe. If that’s the case, then these sentiments are the sentiments of a man of political note reflecting back on his life and career.\n\nThe aging poet concludes that much of it lacked meaning, insofar as he busied himself trying to win the acclaim of others, the frantic pursuit of a gleaming glory that fades almost as soon as it is won. The poem expresses, perhaps, a lesson that Marvell learned the hard way: Passion is fleeting, praise is transient, and all the money in the world is nothing compared to the wealth of beauty found in common things like plants.\n\nMarvell knew something of worldly achievements. Better known as a politician than a poet until relatively recently, Marvell was educated at Cambridge, served in the House of Commons, tutored members of the nobility (including a ward of Cromwell), and worked as an assistant to the literary and political titan John Milton.\n\nThe decision to symbolize these achievements using plants was a brilliant move because it allowed Marvell to show how paltry a single palm, oak, or bay leaf looks when compared to the abundance of an entire garden of plants, flowers, and trees—which he is about to describe. Through the deft use of imagery, Marvell emphasizes the smallness of these human endeavors when compared with both the rich natural world and the expansive spiritual realm. He also compares it with the spiritual world, which he describes using images from nature, such as the ocean.\n\nIn this contrast between the commotion of society and the tranquility of nature, Marvell anticipates the English Romantic poets, who heavily emphasized the need to escape the corruption of human society and the triviality of political bickering by entering into nature. The idea that society is “rude” (meaning “insensitive”) to the beauties of solitude in nature were taken up by William Wordsworth in “The World is Too Much With Us” or, later still, the verses of Gerard Manley Hopkins in “God’s Grandeur.”\n\nThe next few stanzas develop this comparison. “No white nor red was ever seen/ So am’rous as this lovely green.” White and red were considered symbolic of romantic passion in the 17th century, but Marvell argues the green of the garden is a better color. He then argues that the tree in which a man cut his lover’s name is actually more beautiful than the woman in question. Next, he notes that “When we have run our passion’s heat/ Love hither makes his best retreat.” In this pair of lines, Marvell contrasts the transience of passion with the stable tranquility of the garden, which waits, ever-new, for the lover to make his or her “retreat.”\n\nThe following stanza, stanza 5, indulges in lush detail, steeped in sensory language to accentuate the garden’s appeal. “Ripe apples drop about my head; / The luscious clusters of the vine / Upon my mouth do crush their wine.” Sibilant sounds throughout these lines reflect and mimic the sound of slurping down rich juices, fruits, and wines. It’s enough to make your mouth water. After eating the fresh fruit, the poet can collapse on a bed of turf: “Stumbling on melons as I pass/ Ensnar’d with flow’rs, I fall on grass.”\n\nThe following stanza makes this turn even more explicit as the poet casts aside ‘the body’s vest” while the soul rises freely to the treetops. “There like a bird it sits and sings.” The speaker discovers ever-greater freedom through spiritual contentment.\n\nThe “skillful gard’ner” is, of course, God, who composed all beautiful things in both the natural and spiritual realms. In the final stanza, the speaker himself vanishes, dissolving into a perfect union with the natural environment and, perhaps, its Creator. Dominant images are sunlight, the gentle passage of time, and the mesmerizing humming of a bee.\n\nAs Baibhav put it, “The only industry in this garden of meditation and reflection ... is that of the bee, which, unlike the busy humans of the opening sections, moves with the rhythms of nature.”\n\nThose rhythms, as expressed by the turning of heavenly bodies and the recurring seasonal activity of the bee, have something eternal to them. And so the poem—like the poet—comes to a place of enduring rest and stability in its conclusion." + }, + { + "title": "Antonello da Messina’s Blue Madonna", + "url": "https://www.theepochtimes.com/bright/antonello-da-messinas-blue-madonna-5830647", + "text": "Amidst a long lineage of blue Madonnas, “Virgin Annunciate” has a magnetism that compels contemplation.\n\nBy Michelle Plastrik\n\n4/5/2025Updated: 4/7/2025\n\nMadonnas dressed in blue have been a foundational feature in Western art since the early 5th century. Historically, the finest blue pigment was exorbitantly expensive, more costly than gold, and its use for Mary the Mother of God was a means of honoring her. Perhaps the greatest painting of Mary that illuminates her connection with this color is the Italian Renaissance artist Antonello da Messina’s “Virgin Annunciate.”\n\nMagnificently painted in oil on wood around 1475 to 1476, the small devotional picture has been compared to the “Mona Lisa” due to its embodiment of magnetic, mysterious, and serene beauty.\n\nThe Innovative Sicilian\n\nAntonello da Messina (circa 1430–1479) was a major Quattrocento artist (Italian Renaissance of the 1400s) and the greatest painter of his era to come from Sicily, Italy. Born Antonello di Giovanni d’Antonio in the small city of Messina, he has long been cited scholastically as the importer of the technique of oil painting to Italy. While this is now known to be an untrue assertion, Antonello was technically brilliant—nearly peerless—in the medium. Especially in realistic portraits, he used oil to depict minute details and subtle color. He brought his subjects to life: Sitters appear as if they are partaking in an unspoken dialogue conveyed by their facial expressions.\n\nThe artist’s “Portrait of a Man” at London’s National Gallery is considered a prime example of his lifelike painting. Antonello’s ability to display psychological aspects that offer glimpses of an interior life was innovative in European painting.\n\nAntonello’s artworks reflect cosmopolitan exposure, which was surprising given that his hometown was viewed as a peripheral to Europe. His influences ranged from fellow Italians to Netherlandish artists—oil paint pioneers—along with French, Spanish, and Provençal painters. Antonello spent most of his life in Messina, although there are confirmed visits to Naples and Venice.\n\nIt was during his time in Naples, where he may have trained artistically, that scholars believe he was exposed to works by the likes of Jan van Eyck and Rogier van der Weyden. The question of whether he did, in fact, journey to the Netherlands or other countries continues to intrigue art historians, given his glorious distillation of foreign artistic advancements.\n\nOne of his most prized paintings is “Saint Jerome in His Study,” remarkable for its harmonious exploration of space and light. Amusingly, a century after it was made, a Venetian art connoisseur declared it must be the work of a Netherlandish artist like van Eyck, dismissing the possibility that it could be from the hand of an Italian.\n\nIn addition to portraits, Antonello was a great painter of religious scenes and landscapes. A highpoint of Antonello’s career was a 1475 to 1476 sojourn in Venice, to which he may have made additional trips. During this specific trip, he received a commission for the “San Cassiano Altarpiece.” Only the altarpiece’s central fragment of a Virgin and Child surrounded by saints survives at Vienna’s Kunsthistorisches Museum. In its original state, it was, along with other works by Antonello, of great inspiration to Venetian artists such as Giovanni Bellini.\n\n“Virgin Annunciate” dates either to his Venetian period or just after his return to Messina. The work is housed in the Galleria Regionale della Sicilia, which is in Palermo’s Palazzo Abatellis. This painting has been subject to misattributions—thought at one point to be by Albrecht Dürer as well as confused with a minor copy in Venice’s Gallerie dell’Accademia. Now regarded as a masterpiece by Antonello, it is considered one of the finest panel paintings of the Early Italian Renaissance.\n\nLuxury and Labors of Lapis Lazuli\n\nBlue pigment has been revered for millennia. It is difficult to find and extract from natural sources, so it became a luxury commodity with connotations of wealth, royalty, and divinity. Ultramarine is a “true blue” pigment derived from the metamorphic rock lapis lazuli. Famous historic deposits are in Afghanistan. Highly labor-intensive to extract the blue from the stone and prepare as a pigment, the resulting substance traveled throughout Asia via the Silk Road.\n\nByzantine artists were the first to clothe Mary in a blue mantle, though the cheaper pigment from the mineral azurite was used for these icons. Over time, blue took on symbolic meanings of purity, humility, and holiness.\n\nStatic medieval icons of the Madonna in blue with the Christ Child evolved in the Renaissance to paintings featuring narrative scenes of her life. A breathtaking Mary in blue that predates Antonello’s version is in van Eyck’s “The Annunciation.” In addition, polychrome sculptures from the period show the Virgin in blue.\n\n‘Virgin Annunciate’\n\nAntonello’s poignant Virgin is draped in a warmly saturated, voluminous blue fabric. She is a young teenager, perhaps 13 or 14, but poised beyond her years. The Madonna sits in front of a dark and isolated background that communicates a sense of sacredness. The artist’s construction of the composition renders her both realistic and enigmatic. She seems tangible: Her expertly foreshortened hand extends over the open prayer book to the viewer in blessing, but her modest pose and lowered eyes convey a reserve.\n\nThis version of the Annunciation, which was a popular theme in Renaissance painting, is unusual in that the archangel Gabriel is not pictured. Instead, the artist has positioned the viewer in his place, deepening the emotional connection between the figures within and outside the picture plane. Amid a long lineage of blue Madonnas, “Virgin Annunciate” maintains a magnetism that compels contemplation.\n\nWhat arts and culture topics would you like us to cover?

Your brain can thrive at every age, and it’s never too late to hone your mind.\n\nScience reveals that we can actively sharpen mental focus, protect against memory loss, and improve mood, attention, and problem solving. Surprisingly, it’s not complicated. Basic self-care strategies adopted as lifestyle habits go a long way to keeping your brain in tip-top shape.\n\nNeurologist Dr. David Perlmutter and psychiatrist Dr. Drew Ramsey, authors of best-selling books on the brain, are both on a mission to help people approach brain health similarly to physical exercise. In the same way that we train our bodies for strength and endurance, anyone can train a more resilient brain. Here’s how.\n\n1. Eat Whole Foods\n\nDiet is the most vital piece of the puzzle, according to Dr. Perlmutter. The brain uses 25 percent of the body’s energy, even though it makes up about 5 percent of body weight.\n\nDr. Ramsey, a pioneer in nutritional psychiatry, added that science is connecting the dots between what we put on our fork and how we feel. Eating more whole foods such as seafood, greens, nuts, and beans promotes mental resilience, while sugary foods such as energy drinks and baked goods interfere with mood and focus and contribute to anxiety.\n\nAvoid Processed Foods\n\nThe role of food in brain health is perhaps most apparent in Alzheimer’s disease, which has been called Type 3 diabetes because its features overlap with both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. Alzheimer’s can be caused by brain insulin resistance, which happens when we expose our bodies to too much blood sugar and our cells can no longer absorb glucose—our main brain fuel source—from the blood.\n\n“That means avoiding ultra-processed foods, highly processed grains, anything that will dramatically and suddenly raise blood sugar,” Dr. Perlmutter said. “That is a clear and present danger to the brain.”\n\nUltra-processed foods are industrially manufactured with artificial ingredients. They include sugary cereals, chips and other packaged snacks, soft drinks, frozen meals, candy, commercial baked goods, and fast food. Highly processed grains are often stripped of fiber, vitamins, and minerals, and include breads with refined flour, instant oatmeal, flour tortillas, rice cakes, and many types of pasta.\n\nWearing a continuous glucose monitor can help identify other foods that cause spikes in blood sugar.\n\nChoose the Right Fats\n\nDr. Perlmutter advises feeding the brain instead with a “longer-burn type of fuel,” such as healthy fats. Fat-free eating isn’t ideal, because the brain is 70 percent fat—“It doesn’t get fat out of thin air,” he said.\n\nBut the type of fat matters. Wild-caught fatty fish and fish oil are high in essential omega-3 fatty acids, such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), which Dr. Perlmutter says are structurally important for the brain. These include salmon, anchovies, sardines, and mackerel. Avoid refined seed and vegetable oils, such as corn oil, soybean oil, and canola oil, which have been highly processed to increase their shelf life and are higher in pro-inflammatory components.\n\nEat a Rainbow of Fruits and Vegetables\n\n“If you look at your plate and you don’t have three natural colors on your plate, go back to the kitchen. Find another color,” Dr. Ramsey said. “If food is medicine, this is a way of diversifying your medicine cabinet.”\n\nBrightly colored fruits and vegetables are rich in polyphenols, which enhance the function of the bacteria that live in our gut. A colorful diet is associated with a more diverse microbiome, which has been linked to better cognitive health and lower risk of diseases like dementia and Parkinson’s.\n\nFruits and vegetables are also rich in fiber. Our gut bacteria need it to make short-chain fatty acids that help reduce inflammation in the body, make B vitamins, and create neurotransmitters, Dr. Perlmutter said. Aim for about 60 grams of fiber daily—three times the amount a typical American eats.\n\n2. Move Your Body\n\nMake it your goal to exercise at least 2 1/2 hours every week. Don’t obsess over when you work out, Dr. Perlmutter said—newer research shows it’s just as effective whether it’s done all on the weekend or spread out over the week.\n\nExercise lowers your insulin sensitivity. It also helps the body make a compound vital for learning and memory called brain-derived neurotrophic factor, which Dr. Perlmutter says is “like Miracle-Gro for the brain.” When we increase its production, “we can actually turn on the process of growing new brain cells and forming new connections between brain cells,” he said. “The best way to do that is to exercise.”\n\nHis personal prescription is daily stretching, balance exercises, 30 minutes on the elliptical machine, and weight lifting. He also plays pickleball every other day.\n\nRamsey recommends combining exercise with other habits that are beneficial to brain health, like being outdoors or in community. Not only does it offer a double brain bonus, but it also makes it easier to automate new habits.\n\n3. Prioritize Quality Sleep\n\nGetting good quality, restorative sleep is crucial to brain health. The brain is active at night, conducting functions related to learning, memory, and toxin removal. The problem is that most people underestimate the importance of sleep, as well as how well they’re actually sleeping.\n\nBoth Dr. Perlmutter and Dr. Ramsey recommend using a sleep-tracking wearable, such as an Oura ring, which collects around-the-clock data on whether you’re sleeping an optimal four to six sleep cycles per night. Different types of sleep in each cycle play different roles in brain health.\n\nWhether or not you use a tracking device, he listed some basic sleep-inhibiting factors to avoid:\n\nExercising too close to bedtime.\n\nEating two to three hours before sleeping.\n\nToo much light in the bedroom.\n\nToo warm of a sleeping environment.\n\nNoise or sleeping with a restless partner.\n\nDr. Ramsey, who has struggled with insomnia, said that using a sauna several nights a week has helped his sleep. He also bought room darkening curtains after his Oura ring alerted him to disrupted sleep, which made him reevaluate his bedroom and notice that a neighbor’s new light was spilling onto his pillow.\n\nLight is an important cue for setting our circadian rhythm, our internal clock that governs our sleep-wake cycle. The best way to reset it, Dr. Ramsey said, is to go outside to view light in the morning and dim inside lights in the evening.\n\n4. Challenge Your Curiosity\n\nDo something that requires significant cognitive engagement for several hours each day. Dr. Perlmutter is 70 but actively blogs, hosts a podcast, and is always working on a book.\n\n“For me, it’s extremely invigorating,” he said. “Once I finish the work, it still reverberates in my mind for the rest of the day. I keep thinking about things that are increasing my curiosity. I’m grateful I found an area I’m so intrigued by.”\n\nNeglecting curiosity is associated with depression. Dr. Ramsey added that journaling or being part of group therapy can help foster healthy curiosity.\n\n5. Make Music\n\nPlaying, singing, or simply listening to music has profound effects on the brain beyond mood. Just listening to music can improve sleep, memory, and mental alertness, while lowering blood pressure, pain, and anxiety.\n\nDr. Perlmutter plays guitar for at least 30 minutes a day. Lately, he’s challenging himself to learn music written in the 1970s.\n\n“When you can play a song written and performed by someone like Joni Mitchell that comes to life from your own instrument and your voice, it really touches a special place in your soul,” he said.\n\n6. Think Good Thoughts\n\nFeed your brain good thinking. Thoughts influence brain structure, function, and chemistry, mostly through a mechanism called neuroplasticity, which strengthens or weakens neural pathways by repeated patterns of thinking.\n\nPositive thinking releases neurotransmitters called dopamine and serotonin that improve mood and promote the growth of neurons. Dr. Perlmutter said optimism is also linked to lower stress, as well as improved resilience against an aging brain. That means intentionally positive thoughts can improve your memory, ability to solve problems, and emotional resilience.\n\nOn the other hand, chronic stress or negative thoughts release cortisol, which can shrink the hippocampus, a part of the brain important for memory and learning. It also over-activates the amygdala, which can reinforce fear and anxiety. The result is an increased risk of mood disorders and cognitive decline.\n\n7. Build Community\n\nTap into the power of community and connection, which benefits mood and also helps hold us accountable to goals. “Human beings have always had a set of stressors that make mental health tough, but there are some new challenges in town: screens, toxins, new social structures, and a lot of factors that promote disconnection,” Dr. Ramsey said. He says to take building new connections as a personal responsibility.\n\nFor him, prioritizing his family and self-care are of utmost importance, though it’s easy to be distracted and get off track. He makes that goal concrete by recording how often his family eats meals together.\n\nDr. Ramsey connects his patients’ interests to a community. For instance, he might assign someone who likes rock climbing to join a rock climbing gym. There, they can build relationships with people who have common interests and will help facilitate their goals.\n\n8. Commit to Self-Improvement\n\nAll of these tips hinge on the desire to change. Better brain health involves ongoing personal accountability. Start by taking an inventory of your life and commit to being self-aware, Dr. Ramsey advised. He keeps a journal to determine where his life isn’t matching his goals.\n\n“Self-awareness is such a powerful tenet of mental fitness,” he said. “It’s really how we enact change in our lives, how we recognize problems, how we take control and shift from an externalizing stance and take responsibility for our life. I think about it as the first step to healing.”\n\nThis article was originally published in American Essence magazine." + }, + { + "title": "Senate Passes Trump’s Agenda Budget Blueprint After Late-Night Voting Session", + "url": "https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/senate-passes-trumps-agenda-budget-blueprint-after-late-night-voting-session-5837112", + "text": "WASHINGTON—The U.S. Senate in the early morning hours of April 5 approved a budget blueprint to advance President Donald Trump’s agenda after a marathon voting session.\n\nUnder the rules of the reconciliation process, which is being used to pass the sweeping package, all amendments must be considered—leading to voting sessions that last well into the night, known as a “vote-a-rama.”\n\nThis time was no different, as the long vote series began in the evening on April 4 and continued into the early hours of April 5.

Officials cited what they described as his “prominent role” in the MS-13 gang, which the Trump administration had recently designated a foreign terrorist organization. He was placed on a deportation flight three days later, on March 15.\n\nAccording to ICE official Robert Cerna II, Abrego-Garcia had not been on the original manifest for the flight but was listed as an alternate.

The manifest, Cerna said, failed to indicate that Abrego-Garcia had legal protection from removal to El Salvador.\n\n“Through administrative error, Abrego-Garcia was removed from the United States to El Salvador,” Cerna said in the filing. “This was an oversight, and the removal was carried out in good faith based on the existence of a final order of removal and Abrego-Garcia’s purported membership in MS-13.”\n\nAbrego-Garcia’s lawyers have argued that there is no credible evidence linking him to MS-13.\n\n“Defendants have claimed—without any evidence—that Abrego Garcia is a member of MS-13 and then housed him among the chief rival gang, Barrio 18,” she wrote.\n\nXinis also rejected the administration’s claim that the court had overstepped its authority, finding that Abrego-Garcia’s deportation was illegal and that the government could not now avoid responsibility by claiming that it lacked the power to correct the mistake.\n\n“Having confessed grievous error, the Defendants now argue that this Court lacks the power to hear this case, and they lack the power to order Abrego Garcia’s return,” she wrote. “To avoid clear irreparable harm, and because equity and justice compels it, the Court grants the narrowest, daresay only, relief warranted: to order that Defendants return Abrego Garcia to the United States.”\n\nIn its filing, the Trump administration warned of sweeping consequences if the lower court’s ruling were allowed to stand.\n\n“The United States cannot guarantee success in sensitive international negotiations in advance, least of all when a court imposes an absurdly compressed, mandatory deadline,” the government wrote.\n\nThey said the court’s order simply requires U.S. officials to correct their own error—not compel foreign action.

Trump depends on the might of the U.S. economy, while Xi relies on support from the communist regime’s tight control system.\n\nGiven this, Liao said Xi is disadvantaged because he has little policy room to maneuver.\n\n“Washington has many cards. Beijing has few,” he told The Epoch Times.\n\nWhile China was at the top of the list, it didn’t receive the highest rate. Other Southeast Asian countries that Chinese companies use for transshipping, including Vietnam and Cambodia, received nearly 50 percent levies.\n\nHowever, Balding said that the administration’s real target was China.\n\n“I think they want to be much more aggressive with China, but they want to do it very quietly,” he said.\n\n“They did it almost, in a way, to shield China,” he added, referring to the administration’s approach of announcing sweeping global tariffs so the levy on Chinese goods didn’t stand out as much.\n\nBalding noted that Trump applies tariffs differently to other countries than he does to China. In the case of the U.S. tariffs on other nations, the rates are set to encourage negotiations. However, Balding remarked that the tariffs imposed on China are so high that negotiations are very hard for Beijing.\n\nThree countries were on the receiving end of the earlier 25-percent fentanyl tariffs: Canada, Mexico, and China.\n\nThe two North American countries were exempted from last week’s reciprocal tariffs. The White House said Canada and Mexico will remain on the fentanyl tariff regime and move to the reciprocal tariff regime after they reach a bilateral agreement with the United States.\n\nBy comparison, China received a reciprocal levy in addition to the fentanyl tariffs. Most Chinese imports are now subjected to a more than 60 percent levy; the amount Trump talked about on the campaign trail.\n\nAccording to Balding, such a steep tariff at the start of the negotiation makes it very difficult for Xi to reach any deal. The Chinese leader, he said, would have to make a lot of concessions to the United States—compromises that Xi isn’t willing to give—for Washington to cut the rate by half. Even if that were to happen, the remaining half would still be too high for China to bear, Balding added.\n\n“What does Trump want? It seems to me he is basically saying, ‘Let’s just decouple everything as much as we can from China,’” the expert said.\n\nSince Trump returned to the White House, many of his foreign policies have been directly and indirectly driven by China.\n\n“Basically [Trump] said, ‘I can’t let any part of the world be a place where China or other countries can ship through them,'” Lutnick said.\n\nSecretary of State Marco Rubio visited Panama as part of his first official foreign trip. Shortly after, Panama said it would not renew its agreement with China’s Belt and Road Initiative, a geopolitical platform for the CCP to expand its global influence.\n\nDuring the first administration, Trump took two years to negotiate and sign a “phase one” trade deal with China. Eventually, Beijing did not fulfill its pledge to buy an additional $200 billion in U.S. products over two years.\n\nLiao said the CCP’s strategy is to draw things out. For example, it may take two years to reach an agreement and another year for Washington to discover that Beijing hasn’t made good on its promises.\n\nUnder this cycle, the United States bears the cost of such delays.\n\nThis time around, by imposing the tariffs upfront, Trump has immediately put the cost on Xi, Liao said.\n\nBalding agrees.\n\n“If you want to draw this out for years and years—go ahead,” Balding said, describing Trump’s approach. “We’re going to impose enormous amounts of pain very early on so that if you want to draw it out, you’re drawing out your pain.”\n\nThe U.S. trade deficit with China was about $300 billion last year. That means the negative impact of a 34 percent tariff will be felt much more sharply in China than in the United States.\n\nThat’s partly why Trump has been pursuing critical minerals in Ukraine, Liao said. Eventually, when the prices of these raw materials for weapons and electronics are no longer kept artificially low due to China’s monopoly, he added, more companies will join the processing businesses.\n\nAccording to U.S.-based economist Davy J. Wong, the United States and China are not in a trade war, but a battle for resetting the international trade protocol and even the world order.\n\nFor Xi, the resilience of the communist political system is the key, according to Liao. Chinese people will become poorer and more dissatisfied. However, if the communist apparatus keeps a lid on the people, Xi could hold out.\n\nTrump’s pain would come from the U.S. economy, Liao said. If the economy can survive the initial shock and voters don’t lose patience with Trump, he can remain focused on standing firm against the CCP.\n\nThe U.S. stock market experienced large drops last week, driven mainly by the uncertainty of the global reciprocal tariffs. With the biggest three-day decline since the summer of 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, more than $6 trillion in value evaporated in the equity market.\n\nThe stock market upheaval has added pressure on the White House and Trump, who has often credited the administration’s work for the rise of the stock market.\n\nBalding said Trump will most likely hold out while the stock market adjusts because the U.S. government is prioritizing national security, which is different to Wall Street’s focus on business profits.\n\nThe president has also tied the U.S.–China trade imbalance to national security, saying that Beijing uses its massive surplus with the United States to fund the military.\n\n“We don’t want that. I don’t want them to take $500 [billion], $600 billion a year and spend it on their military,” Trump said in the Oval Office on April 7.\n\nBoth Balding and Yeh believe that if Trump can negotiate agreements with key countries—such as Vietnam, South Korea, and Japan—to significantly reduce tariffs within the next month, businesses will gain more certainty. This would contribute to stabilizing the stock market.\n\nWashington holds more cards, Liao said.\n\nIn addition to further hiking tariffs, Liao said the United States could apply more pressure to the CCP by uniting with China’s neighbors who don’t like the regime, such as Vietnam and India. The United States could also take a human rights approach and release a report about the origins of COVID-19 or publicize evidence of the forced organ harvesting of prisoners of conscience and ethnic minorities in China.\n\nAndrew Moran and Luo Ya contributed to this report." + } +] \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/project/data/theepochtimes_cleaned4.json

Project Overview + + I decided to use this project to analyze the languages of two ideologically radically opposite news sources: +HuffPost (left-leaning) and The Epoch Times (right-leaning). I did so by extracting 40-50 latest news articles +from each source using the 'newspaper' Python library and processing them using a variety of programmatic tools +from simple code to 'collections', '.json', 'nltk' libraries. The research question is: **How does the language used +by political media sources and the sentiment conveyed by them differ based on their ideology?** I hoped to not +only extract and clean the data, but also uncover meaningful patterns in their political narratives through +comparing their word frequencies, vocabularies and sentiments. + +## 2. Implementation + + I can separate my project into three main steps: **data extraction/acquisition**, **data processing** (cleaning, +sorting), and analysis. First I looked at multiple political news sources to find the most fitting ones, not only +in terms of content and ideology, but also in terms of use of accessibility of their API and how easily they could +be used and implemented into my code. ChatGPT was a big help here as it quickly identified matching news sources in +both criterias, and helped deal with (403 errors). I tested different sources, and rotated user-agent headers before +settling on HuffPost and The Epoch Times. I scraped 50 articles from both website using the 'newspaper' library and +stored tham as '.json' files containing a list of dictionaries containing their titles, URLs, and body texts. + In the processing phase, I used various NLP techniques to clean the data nd organize it. I used 'string' library +and 'isalpha()' to remove punctuation, non-alphabetic characters, and lowercased everything. I was planning to use +'nltk' for analysis, but also used it to remove stop words, although had to mannually add some because my cleaning +technique wasn't as perfect. I then build histograms of word frequencies for each article, which helped me later +with analysis, but also helped me single out the **top words** from each article: instead of arbitrarily selecting +the most common one, I gathered all words that had at least (max_frequency - 10) appearances. This way I created +the richer vocabularies of most representative political terms for both sources. I then played around with the code +and ended up creating multiple '.json' files - with unique words, unique top words (3320 HuffSpot vs 3420 The Epoch +Times), top words(5617 HuffSpot vs 6104 The Epoch Times). + I then used these findings to conduct **aggregate frequency analyses** and **sentiment analysis**. I merged all +unique top words per source, counted their frequencies, and compared shared and exclusive vocabularies. I applied +VADER from 'nltk.sentiment' analysis package to access overall emotional tone of each article, and average those +scores to compare outlets. I used GenAI tools to debug unfamiliar errors, understand library documentation, +brainstorm NLP strategies, compare newssources and bypass website restrictions. For a while I considered a different +approach to the entire project where I would extract the political vocabulary and sort articles based on that, +which involved using a different documentation ('mediaWiki'), which OpenAI was also helpful with. + +## Results + + The frequency and vocabulary analyses showed clear patterns. As mentioned above, HuffPost produced a total of 5617 +top words with 3320 of them being unique. The Epoch Times had 6104 words with unique being 3423. Out of those, only +1193 were shared by both sources, leabing 2207 unique to HuffPost and 2230 to The Epoch Times. This suggests a strong +difference in languages used by the two sources, confirming that each of them uses a distinctive terminology to +construct their political narratives. As for top words, they also reflect different vocabularies. Here's the ouput +example: + + HuffPost Top 20 Words: Epoch Times Top 20 Words: + back: 24 china: 16 + first: 23 united: 15 + huffpost: 22 states: 15 + help: 22 trump: 14 + free: 21 april: 14 + moment: 21 tariffs: 13 + without: 21 need: 13 + experience: 21 president: 12 + support: 20 house: 12 + fair: 20 make: 12 + news: 19 chinese: 11 + supported: 19 first: 11 + honest: 19 something: 11 + wont: 19 times: 11 + mission: 19 last: 11 + providing: 19 percent: 10 + critical: 19 effect: 10 + offering: 19 people: 10 + qualifying: 19 going: 10 + contributors: 19 years: 10 + +HuffPost's words include "support", "free", "fair", "contributors", "experience", suggesting it appeals to values like +fairness and reader engagement. The Epoch Times includes "china", "tariffs", "president", "communist", and "freedom" - +more menacing, serious words indicating a focus on national politics and foreign relations. Of course, it is tough to +judge when analyzing just two little-known artiles. + Sentiment analysis provided a very strong contrast too. THe average sentiment score for HuffPost was 0.7757, +suggesting a positive tone, while a score of 0.2723 for The Epoch Times suggest a more neutral tone. This could reflect +outlets' differing rhetorical priorities. HuffPost's language aims to uplift it's audience, especially around topics +like social justice, rights, and activism. While TET engages in ideological critique, geopolitical conflicts, etc., +skewing towards neutral and cautious language. HuffPost's stories are more personal and value-driven, while TET frames +stories around systemic challenges and national concerns, which lend themselves to more emotionally restrained language. + +## 4. Reflection + + From a process point of view, I believe once I was able to extract the files, it was smooth sailing from there. The +main roadblocks for me personally were in file extraction as I wasn't sure how to deal with 403 Errors and wasn't as +comfortable with APIs. Also, after extracting everything and organizing and cleaning data, I got a little lost as in what +I should do next, but was able to figure it out. I believe the results yilded through the project are not the best reflection +of differing languages, and there is always room for improvement. I need to learn more NLP techniques to allow for better +ideation of what I can do with the data, and have a clear plan ahead of how I should process it. For example, after separating +top words into lists, I wasn't sure how to use those lists for sentiment or similarity analyses - it's just a wrong type of +data for that, so I need to work on my look ahead. Another big takeaway is how powerful NLP tools like frequency counts and +VADER sentiment can be when used systematically. I was also initially intimidated by the modular design of the project, e.g. +how I would organize everything, but learned it's value and realized how important it is to keep codes and project parts separate +as it makes it much easier. If I could start over, I would build a clearer testing pipeline earlier to work with intermidiate +outputs. Going forward, I will apply what I learned in other projects and experiments involving language processing. \ No newline at end of file
