Week of Oct 26: Graham Platner, Nuke Testing, War with Venezeula?
In this week’s roundup, we unpack a wild mix of policy moves and political shockwaves: RFK Jr. wades into the Tylenol–autism debate, the White House signals a restart of U.S. nuclear testing, and Washington flirts with letting South Korea build a nuclear-powered submarine. We also break down a rare-earths “trade truce” with China that comes with a fentanyl-related tariff cut, a first-ever White House visit from Syria’s president on the calendar, New Mexico’s leap to universal free child care, the Fed’s latest rate cut, saber-rattling toward Venezuela, and a Maine Senate race thrown off course by old Reddit posts. Quick, clear, and no fluff—here’s what actually matters and why. Topics Covered RFK Jr. says there isn’t enough evidence to prove Tylenol causes autism—and why the distinction between correlation and causation matters for public health messaging. Trump announces a restart of U.S. nuclear weapons testing—what that means technically, legally, and geopolitically. U.S. may share naval nuclear-propulsion know-how with South Korea—how this changes the regional balance and non-proliferation debate. U.S.–China rare-earths détente—tariffs on fentanyl-related goods trimmed to 10% and what it means for supply chains, EVs, and defense. A first: Syria’s President slated for a White House visit—potential goals, risks, and Middle East implications. New Mexico launches universal free child care—how the model works and the economic upside for families and the workforce. The Fed cuts rates—what it signals about inflation, jobs, and the path ahead. Venezuela brinkmanship—what “threats of war” actually translate to in policy terms and what Congress might do. Maine Senate race drama—how a candidate’s old Reddit posts and tattoo controversy scrambled the narrative.
