The White House wanted to negotiate quickly with its shock and awe tariffs.

The administration claimed a surge of interest from world leaders eager to make trade deals. Pressure is mounting to finalize at least one of the agreements that have not been signed. Scott Bessent is promoting a "first mover advantage" to encourage swift negotiations, though global uncertainty and resistance to rushed decisions have left key allies hesitant to commit. The phones were ringing off the hook in the days after the president's announcement of the tariffs. Since Trump put a 90-day pause on the "reciprocal" tariffs on April 9, the rhetoric out of his cabinet has begun to change, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent now drumming up pressure to push at least a single agreement through. More than 75 countries have contacted the White House to come to new terms since the 'Liberation Day' announcement. The EU wants zero trade barriers between the nations and foreign leaders have made it clear they want to negotiate with Uncle Sam. Billions of dollars of goods and services are on the line in trade negotiations and potential regulatory changes are an option....

Is it possible to stop kids from watching porn?

The belief that children shouldn't have unfettered access to porn is broadly shared. Many parents feel powerless against the societal pull towards unrestricted internet use, even though they are the natural guardians of their children's internet habits. What can be done to keep kids away from harmful content? Is it possible to make porn websites check ID? Several states have tried that, with mixed results. The implementation of a law in Louisiana that required websites to verify the age of users before giving them access to pornography was followed by a new study by researchers. While search traffic to Pornhub dropped by 51 percent, traffic to its non compliant rival, XVideos, rose by 48.1%. This is a classic tale of tech regulation, where the primary aim remains unfulfilled....

The White House wants Congress to cut funding for NPR.

The White House wants Congress to stop funding NPR and PBS. The New York Post reported Monday that President Donald Trump's budget director Russ Vought drafted a memo asking GOP lawmakers to cut funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and the US Agency for International Development. Since day one, the Trump Administration has targeted waste, fraud, and abuse in Federal spending through executive action, DOGE review, and other efforts by departments and agencies. According to The Post, Vought wrote in the memo that Congress wanted the Administration to transmit the rescissions to the Hill for quick approval. OMB recommends the Administration respond with two proposals to cut $9.3 billion. Out of $22 billion in wasteful foreign aid spending, an $8.3 billion rescission is included in the first. The second is the revocation of all Federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which funds the politically biased public radio and public television system. The White House did not reply immediately....

The view from the telescope is spectacular.

There can be great beauty in death. Astronomers pointed the James Webb Space Telescope at a planetary nebula, where a star is losing gas and becoming a shell of its former self as it gradually exhausts its fuel and shrinks down into a dense core. Through the first telescopes these distant and roundish objects looked like planets, and the resulting Cosmic Clouds, named a "planetary nebula" only because through the first telescopes these distant and roundish objects looked like planets, can be brilliant spectacles. "We have come a long way since then, with the mid-infared view being the most detailed view of a planetary nebula to date," NASA said. The telescope views space in a spectrum that's invisible to the naked eye but cuts through the clouds and gas that block or limit our view of far-off objects. NASA dropped a new report. It's a wake-up call. NASA explained that the image shows a scene that has evolved over 4,000 years....

A lot of people don't realize what they don't see in their home. If you're taking care of an elderly person or someone with breathing issues, you need to make sure you have a clean air system.

There are no signs of easing housing affordability issues.

This is the second story in the series. You can read part one here. The Federal Reserve's pause in interest rate cuts means that financing costs will likely dog the real estate market for months to come, as house prices are out of reach for millions of Americans. Affordability metrics show housing costs squeezing household finances, pressures made more intense by a long-term shortage of lost-cost housing. Affordability was a top issue in the election, with dueling strategies coming from Democrats and Republicans about how to deal with it. Concerns about the staying power of inflation and uncertainties about the Trump administration's macroeconomic policies suggest the issue could persist for the foreseeable future. According to the National Association of Home Builders, the median price of a new home in the US is $460,000. The NAHB found in March that the price is out of range for about three-quarters of all US households....

Kennedy has deep HHS cuts that threaten the HIV/AIDS response.

The Trump administration's drastic cuts to the public health workforce could endanger decades of work on the HIV epidemic. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which deals with HIV and AIDS, were hit particularly hard when Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced plans to reduce his department's staff by 20 percent. The entire staff at the Office of Infectious Diseases and HIV Policy was eliminated. The National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and Tuberculosis Prevention (NCHHSTP) and the Global Health Center Division of Global HIV & Tuberculosis lost about a fourth of their staff. Five branches of the HIV prevention division of the CDC were eliminated completely. The director of the NCTP and the director of the NIAID were both moved to the Indian Health Service. The United States spends around $28 billion on its domestic response to the HIV epidemic, which is roughly one percent of the HHS budget. Carl Schmid, executive director of the HIV+Hepatitis Policy Institute, told The Hill that he doesn't know why HIV has been treated differently....

The Senate and House found two trillion dollars.

The House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Finance Committee have members. Do not raise taxes on people who make a million or more a year. It should be a red line for Republicans. The growth of his first term before the Covid curtain came down was powered by the Trump tax cuts. There is an option. According to the Investment Company Institute, Americans had over 15 trillion dollars invested in IRAs and 401(k)s in the third quarter of 2019. It is $22 trillion in yet-to-be-taxed money. I think retirement funds held in 401(a) and 403(b) accounts are included in these numbers, so let's stick with $22 trillion in untaxed retirement savings....

It was a dream come true for Jimmi Simpson to get cast on Black Mirror. The character actor who's won critics' praise on everything from the madcap sitcom It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia to the sci-fi Western WestWorld was a big fan of the anthology series. Simpson said that Black Mirror was his favorite show when he was invited to come for it. I couldn't believe it. I had the same feeling when I came back for 'USS Callister: Into Infinity'. Simpson was impressed by the stories shown in Black Mirror. It's similar to my early loves of Ray Bradbury, Rod Serling, and Isaac Asimov.

The Swedish government says there will be unprecedented economic turbulence.

The Moderate Party's Minister for Finance believes that the Swedish economy will be affected by Trump's trade tariffs. There were good conditions for the economy to start. She emphasizes that the trade war has materialized after this happened. The Swedish economy was recovering at the end of the year, but now it has stopped, and the Americans are being blamed. The finance minister says that the US has been badly damaged by the actions of the Trump administration and that it will take a long time to rebuild. She said that it was sad that the United States was acting in this way. At a time when markets are highly integrated, we have a trade war. Although the finance minister admits that the consequences of the trade war are difficult to determine in advance, she still maintains that Sweden remains strong with world-class public finances and the focus of the spring budget....
