A recent study in Frontiers in Neuroscience set out to see whether a high dose of psilocybin could help patients with advanced Alzheimer's disease. The researchers focused on a woman in her 80s who had been living with Alzheimer's for 10 years and was given one oral dose of 5 grams of psilocybin-containing mushrooms.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday said, "I love the inflation" after being asked if he was concerned about new consumer price index data that showed the annual inflation rate at 4.2%, a three-year high.

When late arriving ballots in the race for Los Angeles mayor turned dramatically against conservative Spencer Pratt last week, Donald Trump reacted with his usual subtlety. "They're cheating on the election," said the President, as it became clear Pratt would be knocked out of the runoff for the November general election. Democrats were quick to respond. California Attorney General Rob Bonta dismissed claims of vote fraud as "a figment of the imagination of Trump and others involved in that conspiracy theory." Bonta is right there's no direct evidence that fraud swayed the LA mayor's race.

Voters in Washington state could approve an anti-transgender law, Initiative Measure No. IL26-638, which would require girl student-athletes statewide to confirm their "biological sex" with genital inspections just to play sports. Opponents of the initiative say it's invasive, could block poorer students from getting verified, and could meet pushback from medical professionals who refuse to comply.
The initiative would require students who want to participate in girls' sports to provide "a health examination and consent form or other statement signed by the student's personal health care provider that verifies the student's biological sex, relying only on one or more of the following: The student's reproductive anatomy, genetic makeup, or normal endogenously produced testosterone levels."
