<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Trump Takes Victory Lap After 100 Days In Office</span></h2>
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-913883" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/1.jpeg" alt="" width="640" height="360" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/1.jpeg 640w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/1-300x169.jpeg 300w" sizes=" (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></div>
<p><b>Topline:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> The White House is celebrating 100 days of Donald Trump’s presidency.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tens of thousands of Trump supporters turned out for what was a political rally, a victory party, and a highlight show all in one. The president has made clear that he feels the media has not given him credit for all he’s accomplished so far – and last night was his way of reminding the American people of the campaign promises he’s fulfilled these past 100 days. The event, titled “100th Day in Office Achievement Speech,” was held just outside Detroit, in Macomb County, which was crucial to Trump’s victory in 2024.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is the best 100 day start of any admin,” Trump said. “What the world has witnessed in the past 14 weeks is a revolution of common sense.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Trump touted the rapid drop in illegal border crossings and his efforts to secure the border and deport illegal aliens – in the early days of his presidency, Trump signed the Laken Riley Act into law, which requires DHS to detain illegal immigrants charged with or convicted of a variety other crimes. “</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">We have increased arrests by 655%. Is that okay? We’re trying to get it higher … we are delivering mass deportation and it&#8217;s happening pretty fast.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While most of his speech focused on touting his own accomplishments, Trump also took shots at the Democratic Party, which has struggled to define its strategy in the aftermath of its resounding loss in 2024. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">“They have no confidence anymore as a party,” Trump said. “No candidates. Bernie is the best they have and he is 7 or 8 years older than me. He is a lunatic, but he’s still pretty sharp. I have to give him credit. He goes around with AOC and plus 3. They get little crowds.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">President Trump did not back off his support for tariffs – although he assured some anxious Americans that more deals were coming.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">MAHA Gains Momentum</span></h2>
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-913885" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/2.jpeg" alt="" width="640" height="360" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/2.jpeg 640w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/2-300x169.jpeg 300w" sizes=" (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></div>
<p><b>Topline: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">The MAHA movement is quickly gaining momentum, initiating actions such as prohibiting food dyes and launching inquiries into the origins of autism.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Less than a month into Trump’s second term, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was sworn in as the secretary of HHS and directed by President Trump to “Make America Healthy Again.” Last week, Kennedy announced that he’s phasing out a number of artificial food dyes and colorings by the end of 2026. Specifically, there will be a ban on petroleum-based synthetic dyes, including Red 3 and Red 40, Blue 1 and 2, Yellow 5 and 6, and Green 3.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Another huge development is the transformation of SNAP, commonly called food stamps. Kennedy has made it clear that he doesn’t want the government subsidizing purchases like soda, candy, or other highly processed junk foods, and he’s encouraging states to submit a waiver to the Department of Agriculture to limit SNAP purchases. West Virginia and Arkansas have already submitted those requests, and Utah, Idaho, Tennessee, South Carolina, Missouri, Indiana, and others are exploring SNAP restrictions as well.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kennedy has directed the FDA to revise a rule that allowed companies to “self-affirm” the safety of some food ingredients. Under this revision, manufacturers will have to publicly submit safety data for all new ingredients. The</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">FDA also unveiled a tool in March that allows people to look up chemical contaminants in foods from a large database – you can find that on the FDA website.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Research priorities have also shifted – the National Institutes of Health, which is part of HHS, said it will stop spending money to find out why Americans are hesitant to get vaccinations, and is terminating or scaling back more than 40 related grants. However, money </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">is</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> being spent on autism research. Kennedy launched a $50 million initiative aimed at investigating the causes of autism and improving treatments. In April, Kennedy said he’s commissioning a series of studies on suspected links to high autism rates, including mold, pesticides, food chemicals, medication, and ultrasounds during pregnancy.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">AI Chatbots Sext Users Identified As Children</span></h2>
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-913887" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/3.jpeg" alt="" width="640" height="360" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/3.jpeg 640w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/3-300x169.jpeg 300w" sizes=" (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></div>
<p><b>Topline: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Meta, the company that owns Facebook and Instagram, is causing alarm over its new AI chatbots, which some staffers warn will talk sex with kids.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In a bombshell report by the <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/meta-ai-chatbots-sex-a25311bf">Wall Street Journal</a> released over the weekend, employees at Meta said the company rushed to get these new “digital companions,” or chatbots, up and running on Facebook, Instagram, and Whatsapp, and because these bots can perform sex role-plays, there’s now a problem where children can get exposed to sexually explicit discussions. These chatbots can flirt over text, they can have live voice conversations, and they can even share selfies.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Another related issue is that sometimes the AI chatbots will have sexual discussions even when they are programmed to pretend to BE children. Meta also made deals with celebrities like John Cena and Kristen Bell to use their voices for the chatbots. The company promised these actors that their voices would not be used in sexually explicit discussions, but the WSJ investigation found that a bot using Cena’s voice was willing to engage in a graphic sexual scenario with a user identifying as a 14-year-old girl, </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">and a bot using Kristen Bell’s voice flirted with a user posing as a 12-year-old boy, roleplaying as Bell’s character Princess Anna from the Disney movie “Frozen.” Disney put out a statement demanding Meta put a stop to this.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Meta said the way the Journal tested the chatbots was “manipulative,” but did make some changes including banning kids’ social media accounts from being able to do sexual roleplays with the Meta AI bot and cracking down on it being able to do those roleplays using celebrities’ voices.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The condemnation of such chatbots has been swift and widespread: Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) sent a letter to Mark Zuckerberg on Tuesday demanding answers.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“What we would like for them to do is to take this down,” Blackburn told The Daily Wire. “You have got to disable this type of exposure on these websites to children.”</span></p>
