Live updates: Trump to welcome German chancellor amid controversies over travel ban, tariffs
President Donald Trump plans to welcome German Chancellor Friedrich Merz to the White House on Thursday for a meeting that is certain to touch upon Trump's tariffs policy, which has a major impact on German exports. It is the first of a blitz of scheduled encounters in coming weeks with leaders of Washington's historic allies. On Wednesday, Trump issued a proclamation restricting the entry of travelers to the United States from more than a dozen countries, resurrecting and expanding sweeping restrictions from his first term that are expected to draw swift legal challenges. Later Thursday, Trump has a meeting scheduled with police officers. David Jolly, a former Republican congressman from Florida, announced Thursday that's he running for governor of the state as a Democrat. Jolly, 52, represented the St. Petersburg-area 13th Congressional District from 2014 to 2017 and was considered to be a GOP moderate. He became a prominent critic of Donald Trump during Trump's first term in the White House and later changed his party registration. President Donald Trump on Wednesday ordered a broad investigation into whether Joe Biden covered up a cognitive decline while in the White House and was incapable of executing presidential decisions — an unprecedented request that in theory could undermine thousands of Biden's executive actions and pardons.

This Isn't How You ‘Restore Gold Standard' Science
In another attempt to concentrate power, President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to 'restore gold standard science' in federal research and policy. It sounds reasonable given the instances of bad or faked science being published, including high-profile papers on Alzheimer's drug development and one misleadingly claiming that hydroxychloroquine would cure Covid-19. In the last decade, scientists themselves have grown concerned about the large number of studies whose promising results couldn't be replicated. However, researchers dedicated to reforming their field say the president's plan isn't a solution. It's a way to give government officials the power to reject evidence they disagree with — without any accountability or transparency.
