#10 Can ADHD Be Controlled By a Change in Diet? - Tracy Beanz and Michelle Edwards for The HighWire, UncoverDC, Elie Jarrouge MD, and Raising Healthy Families/Gary Brecka on X
The CDC reported late last year that 15.5 million adults had an ADHD diagnosis in 2023. In other words, roughly 6 percent of all adults, or one in 16. Along with that alarming figure, 3.5 million children currently take medication to treat ADHD, which means 69 percent of all children in the United States have been diagnosed with the hallmark signs of ADHD, which are hyperactivity and impulsiveness. What is going on? Despite being quite hopeful today that meaningful efforts focused on our nation’s kids are before us, the decades-long lack of care is heartbreaking. Signs of government agencies looking the other way for the sake of profit at the expense of our children are everywhere. A 1999 article in the NY Times (no longer online) titled “Diet Change May Avert Need for Ritalin” proclaimed...#9 Democrats Declare Victory in District Donald Trump Won by 15 Points - Khaleda Rahman for Newsweek, The Persistence, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez/Chris Deluzio, MeidasTouch, and Chris D. Jackson on X
Democrat James Malone is projected to win a special election for the state Senate in Pennsylvania in a district that President Donald Trump won by 15 points in November. The race was too early to call late Tuesday. With 99 percent of the estimated vote counted, Malone, the mayor of East Petersburg, was leading his Republican opponent, Lancaster County Commissioner Josh Parsons, by less than 500 votes, according to returns posted by the Pennsylvania Secretary of State. However, Democrats declared victory, with Ken Martin, the chair of the Democratic National Committee, congratulating Malone on his "shocking, historic special election victory in Senate District 36." Meanwhile, Parsons wrote on X, formerly Twitter, that he was "disappointed in the numbers" and that "it appears we will come up a little short."
#8 D.C. Circuit Hears Trump’s Appeal as Tensions Rise Over Judicial Oversight - Brooklynn Robinson for UncoverDC, Tracy Beanz, Alex Jones, We the Media, and Let's Clean Up DC on X
On Monday, March 24, 2025, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral arguments in the Trump administration’s appeal to overturn a lower court order blocking deportation flights of 261 Venezuelan nationals to El Salvador. The order, issued by Judge James Boasberg, halted the removals under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act targeting members of the Tren de Aragua gang. The administration contends that the block exceeds judicial authority and endangers national security, while Boasberg criticized their lack of transparency. The hour-long hearing revealed a divided panel of three judges: Conservative Judge Karen Henderson (appointed by George H.W. Bush in 1990), Liberal Judge Patricia Millett (appointed by Barack Obama in 2013), and Conservative Judge Justin Walker (appointed by Trump in 2020)...#7 RFK Jr. Does Damage Control as MAHA Attacks New CDC Chief - Jasmine Venet for The Daily Beast, Secretary Kennedy, Calley Means, and Health Freedom Louisiana on X
Secretary of Health and Human Services RFK Jr. attempted to calm the MAHA masses after new CDC director nominee Susan Monarez was attacked online for messages tweeted by a previous director. In a Tuesday X post, RFK Jr. urged, “X posts that erroneously attribute Biden-era tweets supporting masks, lockdowns, vaccine mandates, etc. to my @CDCgov Director nominee, Susan Monarez, have understandably provoked agita within the MAHA movement.” He added, “I handpicked Susan for this job because she is a longtime champion of MAHA values and a caring, compassionate, and brilliant microbiologist and a tech wizard who will reorient CDC toward public health and gold-standard science. I’m so grateful to President Trump for making this appointment.”
#6 Trump Signs Executive Order to Modernize Treasury Payment System - The WHITE HOUSE, America, Donald J. Trump, Elon Musk, and Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent on X
The continued use of paper-based payments by the Federal Government, including checks and money orders, flowing into and out of the United States General Fund, which might be thought of as America’s bank account, imposes unnecessary costs, delays, and risks of fraud, lost payments, theft, and inefficiencies. Mail theft complaints have increased substantially since the COVID-19 pandemic. Historically, Department of the Treasury checks are 16 times more likely to be reported lost or stolen, returned undeliverable, or altered than an electronic funds transfer (EFT). Maintaining the physical infrastructure and specialized technology for digitizing paper records cost the American taxpayer over $657 million in Fiscal Year 2024 alone.#5 Trump Promises to ‘Look Into’ Ashli Babbitt’s Shooting Death on January 6 - James Liddell for Independent, George, ApeX, JPI, and Michael Hustus on X
President Donald Trump has pledged to take a “look into” whether the government should reach a settlement with the family of Ashli Babbit and also into the continued employment of the police officer who shot her dead on January 6. The president has repeatedly praised his supporters who attempted to overturn his 2020 election loss to former President Joe Biden, including Babbitt. The 35-year-old U.S. Air Force veteran, who sported a Trump flag as a cape, was fatally shot while climbing through a broken door barricaded by officers as they attempted to evacuate dozens of Congress members. Last January, Babbitt’s family filed a $30 million wrongful death suit against the U.S. government...
#4 Senate Confirms Marty Makary to Lead FDA, Jay Bhattacharya to Head NIH - CBS News, The HighWire, Dr. Henry Ealy, Holden Culotta, and Ian Milleron X
The Senate Tuesday confirmed Dr. Marty Makary to run the Food and Drug Administration and Dr. Jay Bhattacharya to lead the National Institutes of Health. Both were confirmed largely along party lines. Makary was confirmed as FDA commissioner by a vote of 56-44, while Bhattacharya was confirmed as NIH director by a margin of 53-47. Three Democrats joined all Republicans in confirming Makary: Sens. Dick Durbin, Maggie Hassan, and Jeanne Shaheen. However, no Democrats voted in favor of Bhattacharya. Both agencies are part of the Department of Health and Human Services, which like much of the federal government, has seen mass layoffs as part of the Trump administration's ongoing efforts to implement budget cuts using the White House's Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, led by billionaire Elon Musk...
#3 Judge Temporarily Bars Effort to Defund Radio Free Europe - Ella Lee for The Hill, Nick Sortor, DOGE News, AMUSE, Tim Young, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, and Right Scoop on X
A federal judge on Monday temporarily blocked Kari Lake and the Trump administration from moving to defund Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL). U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth found that the administration and Lake, who oversees U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), which funds the radio station and Voice of America (VOA), likely violated the law by attempting to terminate RFE/RL’s funding and granted its request for a temporary restraining order. “RFE/RL has, for decades, operated as one of the organizations that Congress has statutorily designated to carry out this policy,” Lamberth, appointed by former President Reagan, wrote in a 10-page opinion. “The leadership of USAGM cannot, with one sentence of reasoning offering virtually no explanation, force RFE/RL to shut down — even if the President has told them to do so.”
#2 23ANDME Bankruptcy Filing Sparks Privacy Fears as Dna Data of Millions Goes up for Sale - Kevin Collier for NBC News, zerohedge, Squawk Box, Zac, RT, TRT World and Ronke Lawal on X
With genetic testing company 23andMe filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and courting bidders, the DNA data of millions of users is up for sale. A Silicon Valley stalwart since 2006, 23andMe has steadily amassed a database of people’s fundamental genetic information under the promise of helping them understand their disposition to diseases and potentially connecting with relatives. But the company’s bankruptcy filing Sunday means information is set to be sold, causing massive worry among privacy experts and advocates. “Folks have absolutely no say in where their data is going to go,” said Tazin Khan, CEO of the nonprofit Cyber Collective, which advocates for privacy rights and cybersecurity for marginalized people...
#1 Trump Signs Pardon for Ex-Hunter Business Partner Turned Key Informant for Republicans in Biden Corruption Probe - Steven Nelson and Miranda Devine for New York Post, Alex Jones, April Color, and Jacob Engels on X
President Trump on Tuesday pardoned former first son Hunter Biden’s business partner Devon Archer, who was convicted of swindling an American Indian tribe — saying he was treated “very unfairly.” Archer became a key informant for House Republicans investigating then-President Joe Biden’s role in his family’s foreign business dealings and provided significant information incriminating the elder Biden, fueling an impeachment inquiry into alleged corruption. “And I looked at the record, studied the record, and he was a victim of a crime, as far as I’m concerned. So we’re going to undo that.”Trump added: “Congratulations, Devon!!”
