The CDC says its new language for healthy kids and pregnant women — known as shared decision-making — means health insurers must pay for the vaccinations.
Otherwise, it goes to the U.S. Treasury, like personal and corporate income taxes, to pay for government expenses. Tariff revenue collections have spiked in recent months, and were on track to reach about $22 billion in May. That is up from $6 billion in February, before most tariffs were imposed. Economists at Nomura Securities estimate that the tariffs struck down by the court have raised a total of about $40 billion to $60 billion so far.CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) —

“We leave a campus much different than the one we entered, with Harvard at the center of a national battle of higher education in America,” one of the student speakers, Thor Reimann, told his fellow graduates. “Our university is certainly imperfect, but I am proud to stand today alongside our graduating class, our faculty, our president with the shared conviction that this ongoing project of veritas is one that is worth defending.”Other schools face the loss of federal funding and their ability to enroll international students if they don’t agree to the Trump administration’s shifting demands. But Harvard, which was founded more than a century before the nation itself, has taken the lead in defying the White House in court and is paying a heavy price.

Looney donated a kidney to her mother in 1999. Later pregnancy complications caused high blood pressure that damaged her remaining kidney, which eventually failed, something incredibly rare among living donors. She spent eight years on dialysis before doctors concluded she’d likely never get a donated organ – she’d developed super-high levels of antibodies abnormally primed to attack another human kidney.So Looney, 53, sought out the pig experiment. No one knew how it would work in someone “highly sensitized” with those overactive antibodies.
Discharged just 11 days after the Nov. 25 surgery, Montgomery’s team has closely tracked her recovery through blood tests and other measurements. About three weeks after the transplant, they caught subtle signs that rejection was beginning – signs they’d learned to look for thanks to a 2023 experiment when a pig kidney worked for 61 days inside a deceased man whose body was donated for research.Montgomery said they successfully treated Looney and there’s been no sign of rejection since – and a few weeks ago she met
