Details on how the program will work have not yet been released.

💊 Trump and Melania launch major women's health initiative. President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump signed an executive order establishing a new NIH task force to direct research funding toward diseases that disproportionately affect women, use AI to accelerate medical breakthroughs, and expand access to affordable treatment.

🍾 Supreme Court to hear Prohibition-era home distilling case. The Supreme Court agreed to review a federal law that has prohibited Americans from distilling spirits at home since 1868. The case pits the government's taxing authority against constitutional limits on federal power, with a lower court ruling the ban stretches Congress's Necessary and Proper Clause too far.

💣 Man charged with plotting mass-casualty attack on religious site. Matthew Bjornholt, 27, of Arizona, appeared in court on terrorism charges after prosecutors alleged he planned a coordinated bombing and shooting at a Jewish or Muslim house of worship. Investigators seized three firearms and found Bjornholt allegedly possessed The Anarchist Cookbook, which he reportedly called his "Bible."

Burning France as electoral strategy

Thousands of rioters have left a trail of destruction across France. Fringe radical-left and Islamist elements have co-opted what began as protests and turned them into riots, and reports show that France’s main far-left party is using, and causing, the unrest as an electoral strategy.

The obvious question is why. The logic seems backward. Wouldn’t chaos just drive voters away from the party responsible?

Not necessarily. Look at 2020: Democrats instigated and supported the Black Lives Matter riots, and they still won. The far-left’s calculation goes something like this:

  • The center takes the blame. Macron’s centrist party is the biggest loser. It’s clearly unable to contain the chaos, and the longer it continues, the weaker it looks. Even trying to stop the riots hurts it, because there’s no clean way to do it.

  • Centrist voters drift left. People who normally vote centrist, and would never vote for the right, move further left.

  • Polarization feeds both sides. Voters who already lean right move toward Le Pen’s anti-immigration, anti-Islam party (the so-called “far right,” a term I hate). And as that side grows, so does the far left, because polarization forces people to pick a camp.

  • Young people get mobilized. Young voters are the hardest to turn out, and to many of them, protests and riots are proof that the party behind them is on the right side.

So, burn France, get more votes.
