The Obama Presidential Center opened its doors to the public in Chicago’s Jackson Park on Thursday, drawing thousands of visitors to the 19-acre South Side campus, even as critics renewed complaints about its photo-ID requirement for free admission and mounting taxpayer-funded infrastructure costs tied to the $850 million project. The dedication ceremony, held Wednesday on the eve of opening day, drew former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Joe Biden, along with performances by Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Bono and the Edge of U2, and John Legend. Former President Barack Obama grew visibly emotional during former first lady Michelle…

The survey on which you report (Only one in 10 Europeans now see US as an ally, survey suggests, 10 June) is wonderfully in line with the view of US citizens themselves, given the recent poll finding that only 2% of them trust the US government “just about always”, and only 15% trust it “most of the time” – a shrivelled fraction of the 73% who in 1958 said they trusted it always or most of the time, according to the Pew Research Center. We can rest easy knowing that Europeans and Americans (never mind their governments) remain natural allies…

Guida: By “everybody,” you include the world?Schwartz: Yes, everybody means in the rest of the world as well, which is the one point where the transnational billionaire class has some degree of overlapping interests.Guida: In an empire like this, what are the benefits and costs to an average American?Schwartz: There is no average American! But if you want to posit an average American, then the benefits and costs look something like this. Empire allowed the United States to avoid a trade-off between guns and butter — between military and social program spending. From 1992 to 2024 the U.S. ran more…

If you have either schizophrenia or psychosis, you may experience symptoms like hallucinations or delusions. But although schizophrenia and psychosis have these symptoms in common, they’re not the same thing.[1]“Psychosis refers to a set of symptoms [with multiple potential causes], whereas schizophrenia is a chronic mental health disorder that includes psychosis as one of its core features,” says Karla Molinero, MD, medical director of child and adolescent residential services at Brattleboro Retreat, a mental health treatment facility in Vermont.It’s essential to know the difference in order to get effective treatment, says Harold Hong, MD, a psychiatrist and the medical director…

Adding foods like blueberries, plums, blackberries, broad beans, and cherries to your daily diet, especially when paired with green tea, could be a simple way to support heart health, according to new research. A large international study led by scientists from the University of Reading, Harvard Medical School, the University of California Davis, and Mars, Inc., found that most people are not consuming enough flavanols, natural compounds linked to a lower risk of heart disease. The researchers discovered that fewer than 20% of people reached the flavanol intake level associated with heart health benefits. Even many individuals who regularly ate…

Hunter Biden has challenged Donald Trump Jr. to a cage fight in an unhinged social media rant attacking the UFC Freedom 250 event on the White House South Lawn. Styled as a letter to Joe Rogan — who told anyone offended by the combat-sport spectacle to “shut the f–k up” — the former first son claimed it denigrated the “sacred” public space of the White House. “The White House does not belong to Donald Trump. It does not belong to any president. It belongs to the people,” he wrote in the lengthy diatribe. Hunter Biden during an event on the…

A revelation from The New York Times’ Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan’s new book about Donald Trump left members of CNN’s “NewsNight” panel laughing and struggling to keep a straight face on Thursday.Anchor Abby Phillip got a case of the giggles as she recounted a passage from “Regime Change,” in which the journalists wrote that Trump once showed them a document claiming he was more powerful than some of history’s most feared rulers, including Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler.“And you wouldn’t believe where he got that assessment from,” Phillip said, noting that Trump has since shared the document on his Truth…

Both Republicans and Democrats in Congress are resisting President Trump’s calls to raise the Pentagon’s budget to its highest level in modern history, signaling a looming fight over military spending as the administration refuses to detail the cost of the war with Iran.Even as Mr. Trump tries to wind down the conflict, he and his administration are pressing Republicans to steer around Democratic opposition and push through $350 billion in military spending using a special budget bill that could not be filibustered. That would cover only a fraction of the $1.5 trillion military budget he has requested for next year.But…
