Roy Cooper, a Democrat running for Senate who has won four statewide races in North Carolina over a nearly four-decade career, finds himself in an enviable position — at least on paper.
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s vaccine agenda is one of the biggest political liabilities hanging over Republicans, but his suspicion of the medical system is likely to endure with the GOP base. Why it matters: Kennedy will one day leave public life, whether it's after the midterms or later, and it is an open question who — if anyone — will pick up where he left off merging vaccine skepticism with official health policy. Mistrust of the medical establishment and willingness to question foundations of public health like the childhood vaccine schedule are already baked into segments of the Republican faithful. - Even without Kennedy — the nation's most prominent vaccine critic before entering the Trump administration —…

Why it matters: In the short term, the move could save substantial sums compared with building and operating a frontier-model business of its own, but it's left Apple dependent on Google for some of its most important AI capabilities.

Why it matters: It's exposing a disconnect between advocates who rely on 1960s-style protest tactics, and prominent athletes in today's $3 billion NIL economy who have different views of activism — and who are unwilling to sacrifice unprecedented financial opportunities . The big picture: NIL (name, image, likeness) was championed as a tool to end the systemic exploitation of Black college athletes in big-revenue sports. - Irony has taken hold: Those NIL funds can now shield southern institutions from some political pressure, even as state…
