A Nobel Prize-winning economist bashed President Donald Trump's "false" claims about the state of the U.S. economy in a new Substack essay published on Sunday.

Global opinion on Trump is polarized and largely negative. Per Pew's June 2025 survey of 24 nations, a median 34% express confidence in his leadership, with 62% lacking it—lowest in Europe and allies, where he's seen as arrogant and dangerous.

Trump would hate if you liked & reposted this 🤣

What a joke.

An open letter to the American public on respiratory virus vaccines Read an open letter to the general public from the AMA and medical societies reaffirming support for vaccination to protect against flu, COVID-19, and RSV.

Looking to presenting at the 21st International Roundtable on Community Paramedicine in Adelaide, 18 August 2025.

Acceptance of this gift, ultimately to Trump personally, is completely corrupt.

A special kind of stupid would defund Sesame Street.

The image is a screenshot of a tweet from Neil Stone (@DrNeilStone ). The tweet reads: "RFK Jr has cut Alzheimers research. ALZHEIMERS. One of the most devastating, urgent and increasing health problems we face today. He’s not interested. He’s a nasty piece of work."

Gen Z and Millennials: In ten years when we’re still without a cure and you’re caring for your parents, remember what he did.

This is disgusting.

Trump, what a pathetic excuse for a leader. He now wants to destroy the natural wonder of his own country without consideration of the long term damage his policies will unleash.

Selling out Ukraine is not helping anyone except Putin and of course Trump himself.

Deliberately alienating your major trading partners and strategic allies is the definition of foreign policy stupidity. People really voted for this!

Infographic explaining the difference between heart attack and cardiac arrest. Heart attack – the person will usually be conscious and may experience symptoms including chest pain, dizziness and shortness of breath. Call 999 immediately. Cardiac arrest – the person will be unconscious and not breathing, or not breathing normally. The faster you act, the better their chances of survival. Call 999 and start CPR immediately.

Would you know the difference between a heart attack and cardiac arrest?

Know what to do in these emergencies and help spread the word.

Ella Baron on Trump’s tariffs

BOOM! Bishop Mariann Budde has responded to her critics who told her to apologize to Donald Trump.

“I am not going to apologize for asking for mercy for others.”

Smash that repost if you agree she owes Trump ZERO apologies!! 🦋

As expected. A tirade of nonsense from Trump that didn’t address the question. Basically, he has no idea.

BREAKING: Over 15,000 doctors sign an open letter urging the Senate to reject Trump's nominee RFK Jr. for Secretary of Health and Human Services.

They call it "an affront to the principles of public health" and the "tireless dedication of medical professionals."

Share if you oppose RFK Jr!

Maybe the wealthy should start paying a fair share taxes to cover essential services for everyone.

US voters elected him! Not sure if this is the question or the answer.

Surely there should be no lead or mercury in food? What am I missing here?

It a very long time before the next election. No one really knows this far out.

Immunization is a game-changer! It ensures babies not only celebrate their first birthdays but also thrive into healthy adulthood.

In 2024: - 17 countries introduced the malaria vaccine - The WHO HPV vaccine single-dose schedule enabled more girls to be protected against cervical cancer - A new meningitis vaccine offered a powerful shield against the five major strains of the meningococcal bacteria in a single shot

Global immunization efforts have saved an estimated 154 million lives – that is 6 lives every minute – since the founding of the Expanded Programme on Immunization, 50 years ago.

Scott Boland is a marvel. Can’t imagine how many wickets he would get if he had first crack at the batters.

Trump is a complete nut case exemplified by these weird ideas of taking over other countries and regions.

Let’s rethink The Lucky Country. Australia’s fortune was never dumb luck Donald Horne’s seminal book cast Australia as a mediocre country run by second-rate people. The truth is its brand of democracy has often led the world.

www.theage.com.au/national/let... Interesting reflections on how after 60 years Australians reflect on ‘The Lucky Country’ and our contemporary place in the world.

So much for freedom of the press.
