The White House claims tariffs work. Let’s look at each study they cite to see if they’re correct.

In 1935, two American doctors examined seven women's ovaries and saw small lumps. They called them cysts and named the disease after them. They were wrong. It took 91 years to fix. What we called PCOS is now Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS), announced today in The Lancet by an international panel of doctors and patients. The renaming followed more than a decade of consensus work and 22,000 patient and clinician survey responses. The lumps Stein and Leventhal saw were never cysts. Modern imaging shows they were follicles, the tiny sacs inside the ovary that grow and release an egg each month, frozen partway through by a hormonal imbalance. PMOS is a multi-system disorder centered in the endocrine system, the body's network of glands that produces hormones like insulin (controls blood sugar), cortisol (the stress hormone), and thyroid hormones (set the body's metabolism). The ovary trouble flows downstream from there. The naming choice is not academic. When doctors hear "ovary" in a diagnosis, they look at the ovary. "Metabolic" and "endocrine" send them to the whole body. PMOS affects roughly 1 in 8 women worldwide, more than 170 million people. The WHO estimates 70% have never been diagnosed. Among those who do, 1 in 3 wait more than 2 years, and nearly half see 3 or more doctors first. The CDC reports more than half of women with PMOS develop type 2 diabetes by age 40, a risk 5 to 10 times higher than women without the condition. Around 37% have clinically significant depression, compared with 14% in women without it. Anxiety runs at 42% versus 8.5%. A label born from a 1935 look at seven ovaries is finally going away. The new diagnostic guidelines roll out fully in 2028. By then, a woman walking into a clinic with these symptoms should hear questions about her blood sugar and her mood alongside her cycle. Those are the parts of the disease the old name hid for 91 years.

PCOS is being renamed to PMOS. (Polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome) The change comes from experts that say the old name was misleading, stating that it inaccurately suggested ovarian cysts as a defining feature.

One outbreak and the entire “sane” side of public health resorted back to the paternalism of telling us not to worry or “panic”, “this isn’t Covid”, etc. They didn’t learn a thing. We didn’t appoint them to be our therapists or parents. Provide info, don’t dictate how to feel.

It has surged to the same exact spot, with 74% boys now saying money matters a lot and 75% of girls—a single percentage point difference. The costs of healthcare, housing, higher ed, years of inflation, and rising unemployment do, indeed, place money at the top of a lot of young people’s minds, and, seeing as those things are necessary for family formation as well as maintaining even the most basic standardof living, not materialistic!

CIT: "I]f the President has the ability to select among the sub-accounts to identify a balance-of-payments deficit, unless every sub-account is balanced, the President would always be able to identify a balance-of-payments deficit…. Such an expansive reading of the statute would raise a non-delegation issue, which in turn would prompt a constitutional question" 🔥

Today, US Court of International Trade rightly ruled against Trump's massive Section 122 tariffs, in cases brought by @LJCenter and 24 state governments. See linked post for reasons why, including some covered in my amicus brief on behalf of @Cato and myself: reason.com/volokh/2026/05…

If you want a more elaborate version of that argument, I organized a amicus brief joined by a broad coalition of economists that you can read here: aei.org/articles/amicu…

The virus has a pretty long incubation period, about 5% of the people on the ship are known to have caught it, and I think you really should quarantine the others until the incubation period is up rather than send them all home (what, by public airplane?) washingtonpost.com/health/2026/05…

Surely the response is "we should discuss regulatory policies to address noise and proximity concerns' not 'we must get rid of the project and preserve large amounts of undeveloped barren land'

I'm not in full-blown panic mode about the hantavirus outbreak - the most plausible situation is that it's not that transmissible among humans - but this seems like a bad idea.

They are sending the ship to the Canaries. For 8 wk quarantine? No. “After arriving at the Canary Islands, crew and passengers would be examined, given whatever care was needed and would then be able to begin their journeys back home, Spain's health ministry said in a statement.”
