How is your Dear Cult Leader doing?
“The dramatic reduction in tariffs exceeded expectations in China and sent the dollar and stocks soaring—providing some much-needed market relief for the US president, who is facing pressure as inflation looks set to speed up at home. China equities also surged as the deal—though only a 90-day delay—ended up meeting nearly all of the Chinese president’s core demands. The “reciprocal” tariff for China, which Trump set at 34%, has been suspended—leaving America’s top rival with the same 10% rate that applies to US allies like the UK.”
“This is arguably the best outcome that China could have hoped for—the US backed down,” said Trey McArver, co-founder of research firm Trivium China. “Going forward, this will make the Chinese side confident that they have leverage over the US in any negotiations.”

Starting in September, freshmen will no longer have the option of taking a more rigorous Honors Biology class. Instead, the district will have one “foundational” course.
The Palo Alto Unified School District voted in January to nix the advanced class after an hours-long debate with dozens of concerned members of the public in attendance. Honors English has already been sidelined.
Proponents argue that “de-laning” — removing different “lanes” for students based on achievement — will promote equity and encourage all kids to pursue science throughout their high school career.”
