    FBI Director Kash Patel spoke on Tuesday about a massive rise in the number of investigations into so-called NVEs, which stands for “nihilistic violent extremists.” He defined them as people who “engage in violent acts motivated by a deep hatred of society.” Some experts would use that term to describe the suspect in the Charlie Kirk shooting. Utah prosecutors said Tuesday that the suspect allegedly wrote video game references and online jokes on the bullet casings. We've chosen not to reference the name of the alleged shooter because we think it's important not to give people who commit acts of violence the infamy they crave. To talk more about the online spaces where Charlie Kirk's alleged shooter spent most of his time and the rise of NVEs, we spoke to David Gilbert, who covers disinformation and online extremism for Wired Magazine.And in headlines: President Donald Trump is suing the New York Times again, Israel officially launches its ground offensive in Gaza City, and former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Susan Monarez testifies to a Senate panel about her ouster by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F.

    Parenting a child who melts down, shuts down, or pushes you away is exhausting—I know because I hear it from parents every day. You've tried sticker charts, consequences, rewards, and still your child's behavior problems keep coming back. In this episode, I'm sharing why waiting for your child's struggles to get “bad enough” is a dangerous mistake. You'll learn how to spot the early warning signs of child behavior problems, why early intervention matters, and the practical steps you can take right now to calm your child's brain and strengthen your parent-child relationship.Why do professionals tell me to “wait and see” with my child's behavior problems?I hear this all the time from parents—someone told them their child would “grow out of it.” But waiting often delays the help your child really needs.“Wait and see” is outdated advice. It often comes from well-meaning pediatricians, teachers, or family members.Delays lead to missed diagnoses like autism spectrum disorders, oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).Early intervention is never wasted. Parents regret waiting, not acting.Behavior is communication. When your child struggles, it's their nervous system asking for support.It's not bad parenting—it's a dysregulated brain. Let's calm the brain first.What happens if I wait until my child's behavior collapses?When parents wait for rock bottom, the fallout touches every part of a child's life—and the road back is much harder.Deeper dysregulation: Issues like aggression, anxiety, or school refusal grow more intense and harder to untangle.Increased risk factors: Delays raise the chances of substance abuse, low self-esteem, and long-term mental health struggles.Damaged relationships: Waiting strains the parent-child relationship and can create tension between family members.Shame builds: Children begin to believe “something is wrong with me,” which deepens behavior problems and lowers self-esteem.

    Your sweet preschooler just turned into a pint-sized whirlwind—kicking, screaming, and even hitting.Before you panic or punish, listen in. Dr Justin and Kylie Coulson unpack why three-year-olds lash out, why it’s actually developmentally normal, and the calm, practical steps that help them (and you) find peace. Key Points Why hitting at age three is common—and not a sign you’re raising a violent teen. The real drivers: big emotions, low impulse control, limited language. Three core responses: stay regulated, set clear limits, redirect with movement or creative outlets. After the storm: empathic conversations and rehearsal for “next time.” Prevention tips: check the HALTS (Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired, Stressed) and keep screen time low. Quote of the Episode “Regulating emotions is harder than learning to walk or tie shoelaces. Your job is to stay the adult while your child learns.” – Dr Justin Coulson Resources Mentioned Little People, Big Feelings [Webinar] – practical tools for parents of toddlers and preschoolers. Little People, Big Feelings [The Summit] Action Steps for Parents Stay calm—model the regulation you want your child to learn. State the boundary—“We have gentle hands. Hitting hurts.” Redirect energy—offer drawing, movement, or grounding games. Debrief later—when calm, problem-solve and rehearse next time. Check the basics—food, sleep, connection, and screen habits. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    The Future of Everything presented by Stanford Engineering

    Allergist Tina Sindher acknowledges that allergies may be affecting more people worldwide, influenced by a combination of factors such as environmental changes, modern lifestyles, urbanization, and evolving dietary habits. Prevention is playing catch-up, and promising new strategies include earlier food introduction than was popular only a few years ago. On the treatment front, hopes are rising for immunotherapies and a new prescription medicine, omalizumab, that addresses multiple allergens at once. While no single approach helps all, these strategies could allow millions worldwide to better manage their allergies, Sindher tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast. Have a question for Russ?

    Episode 211: In an era when misinformation spreads faster than facts, what does it mean to live truthfully — and why does it matter? Hosts Richard Kyte and Scott Rada discuss the complicated role of truth in public life, personal relationships and digital spaces. The conversation, inspired by Kyte’s new lecture series, “The Search for Meaning,” begins with a look at how truth has been understood since the time of Socrates. The Greek philosopher famously urged his followers to “know yourself,” warning that an unexamined life is not worth living. Kyte argues that the practice of questioning — and being questioned — is more essential than ever in a society awash in self-deception and confirmation bias. But the discussion doesn’t stay in the ancient world. Rada and Kyte turn to today’s headlines, examining the turmoil at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, where political pressures and conflicting claims about vaccines have left many Americans unsure who to trust. “We should be able to figure out who’s right,” Kyte says. “But too often, we can’t.” The result, they argue, is a dangerous erosion of confidence in institutions central to democracy. The episode also considers how technology magnifies the problem. Social media algorithms, designed to keep users engaged, may serve up baseball highlights to fans harmlessly enough. But when those same mechanisms steer people toward partisan content, politics becomes entertainment — with cheering and booing replacing thoughtful engagement. “That’s not a spectator sport,” Kyte said. “It’s people’s lives.”

    It's a confusing time in public health. Some states like Minnesota have started new vaccine policies with the goal of protecting people's access. Other states have moved in a different direction. Florida plans to end vaccine requirements for children. These changes at the state level are happening as the federal government's approach to vaccines is in upheaval. U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. fired the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as well as a committee of advisers who influence vaccine policies. Kennedy then filled some of those roles with people who, like him, have spread misinformation and conspiracy theories about vaccines. Dr. Nathan Chomilo is a practicing pediatrician and chair-elect of the American Academy of Pediatrics' Council on Health Equity. He joined MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about how Minnesota pediatricians are considering federal and state guidance.

    This week on Brush with Britt, I'm joined by Shelley Brown, RDH, for an eye-opening conversation about silver diamine fluoride (SDF) — one of the most exciting tools we have in modern preventive dentistry.SDF isn't just about “stopping cavities.” It represents a shift toward minimally invasive, patient-centered care that allows hygienists to expand their impact in meaningful ways. Shelley shares her expertise and passion for prevention as we dive into:-How SDF works to halt active decay and protect vulnerable teeth before they progress-When to use it — from pediatric patients to older adults, special needs populations, and a wide range of patients in between.-How hygienists can lead the way in incorporating SDF into preventive protocols and advocating for its use chairside-Overcoming the stigma of staining by learning how to set patient expectations and frame the “why” behind treatment-Communication strategies that work when explaining SDF to parents, caregivers, or hesitant patients-Why SDF matters for prevention — especially as we fight health disparities and look for solutions beyond the drill-and-fill modelShelley and I also talk about the bigger picture: how embracing preventive services like SDF helps us reclaim our role as primary prevention specialists in dentistry. For hygienists who are passionate about protecting smiles, reducing disease, and practicing at the top of their scope, SDF is an incredible tool that can change lives.Whether you're brand new to silver diamine fluoride or already using it in practice, this conversation will give you practical tips, renewed excitement, and the confidence to advocate for prevention-first dentistry.

    The sparks flew in Thursday's Senate Finance Committee hearing. Senators – Republicans and Democrats alike – grilled Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over his handling of vaccines and the shakeup at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Kennedy, for his part, doubled down on his ouster of CDC director Susan Monarez, claiming she was not “trustworthy.” He insisted that Americans would still be able to access coronavirus vaccines, despite his overhauling of a key vaccine panel. Host Colby Itkowitz speaks with health reporter David Ovalle about the fireworks at Kennedy's hearing before the Senate. Plus, they discuss what's happening with diverging school vaccine policies in red and blue states. Today's show was produced by Elana Gordon with help from Sabby Robinson. It was edited by Peter Bresnan and mixed by Sam Bair. Subscribe to The Washington Post here.
