Don takes a closer look at the recent CBS town hall featuring Erika Kirk, the widow of Charlie Kirk, and what it signals about the direction the network may be heading under Bari Weiss's leadership. While the event was framed as a moment of reflection and healing, the faith-driven language, tone, and noticeable lack of journalistic pushback raised eyebrows for many viewers.

Having even one concussion raises your long-term crash risk by 49%, which means you would be wise to give yourself more recovery time before driving to protect both your safety and your independence The first month after a concussion is the most dangerous, with risk jumping more than sixfold, so adjusting your driving habits during this period helps lower your chance of a serious accident Each additional concussion sharply increases your risk, with two concussions more than doubling it and three or more causing a 124% increase, making symptom monitoring and long-term brain care important for anyone with repeated injuries Younger age, late-night driving, poor weather, rural roads, alcohol misuse, and lower income all magnify post-concussion crash risk. Being mindful of these factors can help you stay safer on the road Concussion-related crashes have led to tens of thousands of extra hospital days and more than $800 million in medical and societal costs, showing why protecting your brain health now helps safeguard your future well-being, finances, and mobility

The latest round of peace talks in Moscow between the Americans and the Russians has ended without agreement. As President Vladimir Putin talked of being ready to fight a war with Europe, attention in Westminster turned to whether the U.K. has the capability and the will to help protect Ukraine in all scenarios. While Keir Starmer flew to Scotland to announce a joint maritime operation with Norway  to ward off prowling Russian submarines in the North Atlantic, defense chiefs and MPs asked why there was so little mention of the spending commitments in the Budget — and what that means for Britain's preparedness. This week, Anne McElvoy talks to John Foreman, who was Britain's military attaché in Moscow between 2019 and 2022 having previously performed the same role in Kyiv; and with Esther Webber, POLITICO's Senior Foreign and Defense Correspondent. Both have been keeping a close eye on the talks. Later she's joined by two influential MPs to discuss Starmer's options. James Cartlidge is the Shadow Defence Secretary, and Labour's Calvin Bailey sits on the influential Defence Select Committee and served in the RAF for 24 years, including in Afghanistan.

UK Budget Backlash — Joseph Sternberg — Sternberg analyzes the public and parliamentary backlash against Chancellor Rachel Reeves' budget, which raises aggregate taxation to record peacetime levels despite pre-election assurances of fiscal restraint. Sternberg argues that these substantial tax increases combined with welfare expansion will systematically stifle economic growth, eroding business confidence and investment. Sternberg documents public perception that the Labour government deliberately misrepresented the fiscal situation regarding the alleged "black hole," violating electoral promises and generating widespread voter disaffection regarding governmental transparency and fiscal management. 1940 LONDON
