Despite Elon Musk’s high profile and near-constant posting on X, major questions remain about DOGE and what it is doing.

Zelensky embraced by Starmer as he arrives at No 10 for talks in wake of White House clash with Trump - follow live

What the world saw at the White House on Friday was not just a realignment of America’s foreign policy, but a clash of two incompatible styles. @galbeckerman.bsky.social on the combustible mismatch between Trump and Zelensky:

I'm gonna be real with everyone: Given the choice, I'd rather you buy my books from just about ANYWHERE other than Amazon. That's always been the case. I'm Canadian. Buy your ebooks from Kobo. It will make me even happier.

“The very phrase ‘working homeless’ should be a contradiction, an impossibility in a nation that claims hard work leads to stability. And yet, their homelessness is not only pervasive but also persistently overlooked,” writes Brian Goldstone.

The number of people with measles in Texas increased to 146 in an outbreak that led this week to the death of an unvaccinated school-aged child, health officials said Friday.

The Trump administration has made limited progress so far toward promised mass deportations, but a dire message is filtering into communities of long-term undocumented immigrants, @mccrummen.bsky.social reports from southwest Chicago.

We all saw it and heard it with our own eyes. So did Europe! #TheGreatestBetrayal

John Yang: "If U.S. aid were to be cut or even go away, could Zelenskyy, could Ukraine go on with just European support? Are there enough forces and hardware to keep them going?" Kurt Volker: "It's good, it is supportive, it will buy Ukraine time, but ... it is not enough for Europe on its own."

A child in the U.S. has died from measles. In another administration, the death and growing outbreak would likely have been met with urgent calls from the president and Health and Human Services secretary for parents to vaccinate their children. But this is public health in the Kennedy era.

President Donald Trump’s plan to pull federal funding from institutions that provide gender-affirming care for transgender youth will remain blocked on a long-term basis under a federal judge’s ruling in Seattle late Friday.

A new study shows that Americans’ risk of developing dementia after turning 55 is more than double what earlier research found. The NYU study estimates that the number of dementia cases will double by 2060, reaching 1 million new diagnoses each year. John Yang spoke to Dr. Joseph Coresh for more.

Civil rights attorneys sued the Trump administration Saturday to prevent it from transferring 10 migrants detained in the U.S. to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, their second legal challenge in less than a month over plans for holding up to 30,000 immigrants there for deportation.
