Formus will have to be part of Vinnie Deal with Iran to end the war. This comes after
“Trump said he wanted U.S. allies to reopen the Strait in Pierce D. Pashiver on reports."”
Trump has set different goals for reopening the Strait of Formus in the last week. The
route is critical for the global transport of oil and its closure has led to a spike in
gas prices globally. Most recently, speaking from the White House, Trump said a successful deal with Iran would have to include free flow of oil through the Strait. "We have to have a deal that's acceptable to me and part of that deal is going to be we want free traffic of oil and everything." Trump also repeated his threat against Iran's civilian infrastructure if a deal is not
reached by Tuesday night at 8 p.m. Eastern. He says every bridge and power plan would be decimated. D. Pashiver on and PR News, Washington. During Monday's White House press conference Trump dismissed concerns that strikes on civilian
“infrastructure could amount to war crimes, saying he's not at all concerned about the”
possibility. National average for a gallon of gasoline is now about $4.12. That's
according to Triple A. The sharply increasing cost of gasoline has driven search and trust in electric vehicles, but what about alternatives to driving? Here's in Pierce Camila Dominozki. As the cost of driving goes up, so do the potential savings from things like walking, biking, and taking public transit. The data don't necessarily suggest any widespread shifts in behavior.
Public transit ridership went down slightly in March, although ridership continues to rise year over year. But the scooter in bike app Vios says that two-thirds of its users reported replacing a car trip with a shared two-wheeler last month because of higher gas prices.
And the Wii Word Pedominary app says 44% of its users say they're walking more because
“of fuel costs. Camila Dominozki and PR News.”
The U.S. Department of Education is rescending a handful of agreements at previous administrations entered into with schools that were the subject of civil rights cases. And PR is a great return of reports. Both the Obama and Biden administrations tried to expand civil rights protections in schools to include students' gender identity. And using that expansion, they went after school districts. They believed we're discriminating against transgender
students, reaching agreements, committing the districts to change. And it's these agreements with a handful of school districts and one college that the Trump administration is now rescinding, arguing the previous expansion of rights under Title IX was itself illegally The Education Department, under President Trump, has also been threatening to cut federal funding to school districts and even entire states that continued to carve out protections
for transgender students. Corey Turner and PR News. And this is in PR News.

New research adds to the evidence that the
psychedelic substance and magic mushrooms can help treat depression. Empires John Hamilton is more on the study in nature mental health. A team led by scientists from the University of Pennsylvania analyzed results from 12 studies of psilocybin, the active ingredient in hallucinogenic mushrooms. The studies included nearly 600 participants with depression. Overall, those who got psilocybin as part of their treatment improved more than those who
received talk therapy alone. The analysis also found that people who got psilocybin were more likely to see a dramatic reduction in symptoms. The improvement occurred rapidly and lasted for weeks or longer. As part of the study, the researchers created a publicly accessible database of psilocybin research. They plan to update it as new studies are published. John Hamilton and PR news. This is NPR News.
