It would be a stretch to say that Health and Human Services (HHS) is being led for the first time by someone who is out of their depth, but it’s certainly the case that, for the first time, its chief is deeply suspicious of most modern medicine. Since Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s confirmation as HHS […]

Le scandal “Signal” aux Etats-Unis: l’hypocrisie des législateurs
En pleine croisade contre la vie privée numérique, ce scandale révèle une hypocrisie politique profonde et relance le débat sur le droit au secret des correspondances pour tous. Dans un événement assez extraordinaire qui a depuis été éclipsé par l’annonce des droits de douane et le krach boursier qui a suivi, les plus hauts responsables […]
Quoted in Reason Magazine on food dyes

But the MAGA movement is revealing a gap in its economic logic, and it will cost U.S. consumers and producers dearly. Consider the video posted by […]

Quelques semaines seulement après avoir prêté serment pour son second mandat à la Maison-Blanche, Donald Trump reprend là où il s’était arrêté.
