Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been the talk of the town recently.

Another controversy splashed the septuagenarian, when he published a photo of himself and his grandchildren swimming in Washington’s Rock Creek.

The problem?

Their swim was extremely risky, as the stream in question is contaminated with multiple bacteria, including E. coli.

For ages, the National Park Service (NPS) has been warning the DC population of this very high bacterial risk and RFK Jr. exposed his grandchildren. In fact, these restrictions/warnings have been in place for over 50 years, no less.

There’s even talk of widespread fecal contamination in the vicinity…

"Robert F. Kennedy Jr. submerges in creek with high bacteria levels, including E. coli"

Or to put it another way, "Secretary of Health and Human Services swims in sh*t."https://t.co/RKaa4ZYFwE

The symptoms of E. coli should be taken seriously, as they include nausea, fever, headaches, vomiting, severe stomach cramps and watery and/or bloody diarrhoea.

We recently learned that Joe Biden had been diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer, which had apparently spread to his bones.

The news prompted a reaction from former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who was quick to take to his social networks to offer his heartfelt thoughts to his friend Joe Biden.

It should be remembered that, although aggressive, the cancer suffered by the former president is, according to several specialists, still a treatable form.

We send him much courage and good wishes.

Walmart, the retail giant known for its slogan « Save money. Live better » and its promise to offer low-cost products to improve its customers’ lives, has just announced a notable turnaround.

Walmart announces plans to start raising prices on some items later this month due to higher tariffs

— CNN (@cnn.com) 2025-05-15T11:41:25.280Z

By the end of the month, Walmart plans to impose major price hikes, citing tariffs that have simply become « too high », a direct consequence of the trade war launched by Donald Trump since his arrival in the White House.

According to CNN, the company’s CEO Doug McMillon said Walmart simply couldn’t absorb all the pressure, given the reality of tight margins in the retail sector.

According to the company’s CEO, the numerous tariffs imposed worldwide, including in China, Costa Rica and even Peru, are driving up costs in several product categories, particularly electronics, toys and many foods.

Walmart’s CEO thus announced that by the end of May, consumers would see significant price increases in its stores, adding that the situation would worsen next month, when we would « certainly see a lot more in June ».

While the company had welcomed the Trump administration’s decision to temporarily ease the trade war with China by reducing tariffs from 145% to 30% as part of a 90-day truce agreed in May, Walmart believes that current levels nevertheless remain « too high ».

By comparison, under the Biden administration, tariffs had remained relatively stable at around 20%, with only a few targeted increases on strategic products such as electric vehicles and semiconductors.
