#1 The Suspicious Timing of FDA’s Approval of Pfizer’s Side-Effect Fix - Tracy Beanz and Michelle Edwards for The HighWire, UncoverDC, Alex77717, Cindy Hau, Pinsolle Typhaine/Camus, and Carsten Lyck on X
Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is an autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks the protective myelin sheaths of peripheral nerves. Closely related to Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), CIDP is a well-documented severe adverse reaction to the experimental mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, causing worsening muscle weakness and impaired sensation in the arms and legs. In April 2020—before the start of its COVID-19 mRNA jab clinical trials—Pfizer submitted an application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requesting to market its immunodeficiency drug called Panzyga as a treatment for CIDP. Interestingly, for nearly a year, the FDA ignored Pfizer’s request. However, just two months after the rollout of the COVID-19 jabs, the FDA granted Pfizer approval to market Panzyga for the treatment of CIDP. The obvious question in this peculiar sequence of events, as posed by Del Bigtree’s Informed Consent Action Network, or ICAN, is...#2 Trump’s Doubling of Tariffs Hits India, Damages Relationship With US - David Lawder and Manoj Kumar for Reuters, rahul sharma, Bezmenov was right/Manish kumar, Dr. Shama Mohamed/Passerby, Mallikarjun Kharge/Bharat Pulse, and Bhavik Gandhi/Shivani on X
U.S. President Donald Trump's doubling of tariffs on imports from India to as much as 50% took effect as scheduled on Wednesday, delivering a serious blow to ties between the two countries that became strategic partners after the turn of this century. A punitive 25% tariff imposed due to India's purchases of Russian oil adds to Trump's prior 25% tariff on many imports from the South Asian nation. It takes total duties as high as 50% for goods such as garments, gems and jewellery, footwear, sporting goods, furniture, and chemicals - among the highest imposed by the U.S. and on par with Brazil and China...#3 Abrego Garcia Heard Saying Two Words During ICE Arrest - Alex Nitzberg for Fox News, Red, Bleeding Heart, RUSHBEDAMNED, urmom.eth, Dave McQ,, and Woke is Bullshit! on X

#4 Denmark Summons Us Envoy After Report of Americans Carrying Out Influence Operations in Greenland - AP News, GistAlert9ja, Brian Krassenstein/jaime, Laura Mac/ABC News, and Kunuk on X
Denmark’s foreign minister had the top U.S. diplomat in the country summoned for talks after the main national broadcaster reported Wednesday that at least three people with connections to President Donald Trump have been carrying out covert influence operations in Greenland. Trump has repeatedly said he seeks U.S. jurisdiction over Greenland, a vast, semi-autonomous territory of Denmark. He has not ruled out military force to take control of the mineral-rich, strategically located Arctic island. Denmark, a NATO ally of the U.S., and Greenland have said the island is not for sale and condemned reports of the U.S. gathering intelligence there...
#5 Trump Tampering With Fed Independence Is Risky for the Economy, Experts Say - Rob Wile for NBC News, mp, The Editorial Board, Bill wolf, Acyn, il10gic, Bloomberg, Tom Pappert, and Johnny St.Pete on X
Economic and financial analysts are warning that President Donald Trump’s attempt to fire Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook risks undermining the central bank’s independence — something that could ultimately put U.S. households’ finances at risk. Late Monday, Trump moved to fire Cook over allegations of mortgage fraud. He cited a “criminal referral” from Federal Housing Finance Agency Director William Pulte that alleged discrepancies on Cook’s mortgage application documents. Cook has refused to step down, and on Tuesday, she said she was planning to file a lawsuit challenging Trump’s move...

Reports that the Trump administration placed some employees of the Federal Emergency Management Agency on leave after they signed an open letter of dissent earlier this week have sparked criticism on social media. More than 180 current and former FEMA employees signed the letter sent to the FEMA Review Council and Congress on Monday, critiquing recent cuts to agency staff and programs and warning that FEMA's capacity to respond to a major disaster was dangerously diminished. Only 36 signed their names, while others withheld their names for fear of retribution...

Less than a week after unveiling a controversial new logo that prompted the company's stock value to take a dive and even President Trump to weigh in, Cracker Barrel announced Tuesday that it will return to its old logo."We thank our guests for sharing your voices and love for Cracker Barrel," the popular Southern-themed restaurant chain announced in a post to social media. "We said we would listen, and we have. Our new logo is going away, and our 'Old Timer' will remain." Last week, the restaurant chain suddenly announced it was changing its logo to remove the image of a man sitting in a chair leaning against a barrel, and replacing it with a logo that only featured the chain's name...

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker delivered a strongly worded message and warning to President Donald Trump Monday, following the president's threat of sending the National Guard to Chicago to combat crime. In his remarks, Pritzker warned the president not to come to Chicago and said, "If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law." Trump on Friday said he plans to send the National Guard to Chicago next as part of his attempts to curb violence in multiple U.S. cities, which began with similar measures taken in Washington, D.C. The president has recently escalated his focus on public safety, particularly in Democratic cities...
