'There's a reason so many Americans trust RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz'
Natalia Mehlman Petrzela at MSNBC
RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz "are dangerous choices to lead major federal agencies because they amplify the worst aspects of that sprawling wellness culture," says Natalia Mehlman Petrzela. They have "developed such a large audience because they speak constantly to issues such as obesity, anxiety, autism, chemical dependence and chronic pain that truly do trouble Americans." We may "lose sight of why many Americans who were not necessarily conspiracy theorists were drawn to their critiques."
'Meeting the parents during holidays doesn't have to be stressful'
Myisha Battle at Time
Instead of "stressing about the expectation to come off as an appropriately matched partner to your date's family, this important event can help you gather information about what makes your partner the way they are," says Myisha Battle.

By "selling underutilized properties and consolidating operations, the federal government could generate hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars in revenue." The "government's spending habits have been a punchline for too long."
