US policy has always been caught between interventionists and isolationists. Knowing this, Trump's statement is not surprising. Bush the younger also announced a US withdrawal from the world stage in his first election campaign. As we know, things turned out…

US-Militärschlag gegen Iran?: Trump riskiert den Bruch mit seiner „MAGA“-Basis
Der US-Präsident droht dem Iran mit einem US-Militärschlag. Doch die „MAGA“-Anhänger, die ihn ins Weiße Haus gewählt haben, lehnen solche Einsätze ab. Trump steckt in einer Zwickmühle.

A few weeks back, we asked for your thoughts on the growing interest in longevity – from emerging trends to treatments designed to extend our lifespan. Most of you said you’d like to read more about this, so it seems only right to start with the Basel-based researcher whose work sparked a revolution in the field.
Over 30 years ago Michael Hall, a molecular biologist at the University of Basel, made a groundbreaking discovery of the gene Target of Rapamycin, or TOR, that proved critical to the development of many cancer drugs. Today his seminal work is fuelling this area of healthcare research.

Donald Trump and his administration employ the laws and courts wherever it suits them. Wherever laws and courts pose an obstacle to their program, they disregard those right up to the limit imposed by the current balance of power within the state.
It is clear for all to see that for them, the law is simply one of many weapons—it has no power to bind them. Yet many of Trump’s opponents continue hamstring resistance by focusing on questions of legality and other niceties, failing to grasp the reality of the situation.

Good idea: Return rivers to their natural paths
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/may/15/record-number-river-blocking-dams-removed-europe
Europe dismantled 542 river-blocking dams, weirs, culverts and sluices in 2024, a report has found, helping a record number of waterways resume their natural course
Meandering rivers have slower flow speeds, evaporate more water, create more biodiversity and less erosion. They are also less prone to flooding than their straightened counter parts.

Europe dismantled 542 river-blocking dams, weirs, culverts and sluices in 2024, a report has found, helping a record number of waterways resume their natural course
“Healthy, free-flowing rivers are central to adapting to the climate crisis and boosting biodiversity, but Europe’s rivers are the most fragmented in the world,” he said. “We need to keep scaling up the removal of small obsolete dams that are blocking our rivers and set new records every year.”
