Doctors are demanding that the American Medical Association step up and take a true offensive posture against Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.According to Politico, "members of the group’s House of Delegates are sending a clear message to their leaders: Call out Kennedy, even if it costs us in the pocketbook," and spoke up intensely at the AMA annual meeting.Since Trump took office, the AMA has offered some criticism of Kennedy as he dismantles vaccine approval bodies and fails to act in the face of deadly disease outbreaks around the world — but the group has balanced this with praise of his stated mission to encourage Americans to live healthier lifestyles, as laid out in the controversial Make America Healthy Again movement.However, said the report, this is likely to change due to "the election of Sandra Fryhofer, an internist from Atlanta and uncompromising Kennedy critic, as AMA president-elect. She beat Michael Suk, who as AMA board chair in 2024 and 2025 prioritized doctors’ Medicare fees and promised continued pragmatism in dealing with Kennedy."Fryhofer has pledged to take a more aggressive posture, vowing to hold the administration accountable for “measles running rampant, public health destroyed, a trillion dollars ripped from Medicaid, inadequate physician payment, [and] stupid immigration rules.”Speaking to Politico in interviews, "AMA doctors described an advocacy organization at its wit’s end with Kennedy ... Long a Republican-leaning constituency, doctors began shifting left during the battles over managed care three decades ago." For several holdouts, the report continued, "President Donald Trump’s alliance with Kennedy, a longtime skeptic of vaccine safety and critic of the medical establishment, was the last straw."This also comes as Kennedy and his allies have come under increasing criticism for obstructing new potentially lifesaving research under the guise of requiring stricter safety standards in clinical trials.

President Donald Trump's claim that he loves the inflation associated with his war in Iran is bad news for the average American's pocketbook, an economist said during a new CNN interview on Wednesday. Henrietta Treyz, an economist at Veda Partners, told CNN's Boris Sanchez that there's "nothing to like" about the 4.2% inflation reading that was captured in the latest economic data released on Wednesday. That's despite Trump saying in the Oval Office that he "loves the numbers" and that inflation will "drop like a rock" once the war in Iran ends. "The best I can say is that inflation everywhere else didn't also rise more than expected. That is not good news," Treyz said. "We're on day 104 of the war, if I'm not mistaken. We've spent $100 billion, and a lot of that is being borne by regular Americans." Trump's war in Iran has sent global energy prices skyrocketing because of the impacts to the Strait of Hormuz, a global waterway that accounts for 20% of all energy trade. The rising cost of energy has also driven up the prices of many goods, especially gasoline and groceries. Treyz noted that the average American household is paying about $460 more per year for gas now than it did when the war began. "It doesn't include the groceries that are more expensive. The surcharges on all your Amazon shipments, the additional 8% cost of just shipping mail around the country. This is a massive blow," she said. "And 4.2% inflation means that inflation is moving faster than our wages are keeping up. That's the problem for the president with this war."

President Trump on Wednesday blasted California's elections again, noting that Trump-Endorsed gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton nearly got robbed like Republican Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt. "The only reason he got approved," Trump said of Hilton, is because "there was too much heat on 'em." Hilton was projected to advance to the November gubernatorial election on Monday night, the same night that Democrat mayoral candidate Nithya Raman took a massive lead over Spencer Pratt, securing her spot in the November mayoral election.
