Many capitals are now reviving their strategic food reserves. European nations such as Sweden, Finland, Norway and Germany are rebuilding stocks dismantled after the cold war.

The 2025 America's Health Rankings report by the United Health Foundation ranked Massachusetts as the second healthiest state in the nation, falling shy of first-place New Hampshire.

Massachusetts last ranked No. 1 in 2017 and has remained in the top five since.

From the large bruise on his hand to his catnaps during Cabinet meetings to his (even more) desultory speaking style of late, the 79-year-old president appears increasingly, well, old.
