Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 20:37:52 GMT

Donald Trump said Tuesday he will only be a dictator “on day one” if he returns to office in 2025.In a town hall with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, the former president was pressed on whether he would disavow taking retributive action against all his enemies if he reentered the Oval Office. He initially shied away from responding, but when asked a second time said he would only be a dictator on the first day of his second term. He emphasized that it would be for two specific issues.“I want to close the border and I want to drill, drill, drill,” Trump said. “Other than that, I am not a dictator.”The remarks may have been an attempt to defuse an issue that has bubbled up in recent weeks, with various news outlets spotlighting an authoritarian bent of Trump’s proposed second-term approach.

Taking medicines from bench to bedside

Developing new treatments is a lengthy, complex and high-risk process – it takes 10-15 years and costs, on average, over €1-2 billion1 to bring a new treatment to the market, and roughly 90 percent of compounds fail in clinical trials.2 But scientific and technological progress is yielding innovative treatments for patients at a faster pace than ever before.3 So, to ensure that groundbreaking science, such as cell and gene therapy, stays in Europe where patients can quickly benefit from it, we need strong and predictable intellectual property (IP) and regulatory incentives, which attract R&D investment and foster collaboration among academia, medical institutions, and the industry.Unlocking innovation: The vital role of intellectual property in academic researchUniversities across Europe are at the forefront of early research into diseases, experimenting with novel approaches for the next generation of treatments. However, this initial research has a long way to go before it is...

President Jed Hoyer and the Chicago Cubs still believe they are in the mix for two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani.Hoyer would not offer any details Tuesday beyond that, however, as Major League Baseball’s free agency and trade market largely remain at a standstill waiting for Ohtani’s decision as his courtship remains shrouded in secrecy.“I’m not going to comment on it, but we have not been given a status check (by Ohtani’s camp), so to speak,” Hoyer said on the second day of the MLB winter meetings.Hoyer denied a USA Today report that claimed the Cubs had balked at Ohtani’s 10-year price tag of at least $500 million and they appeared to be out of the bidding.“I don’t know where that came from, there’s nothing to report whatsoever,” Hoyer said. “On all the Ohtani stuff, just like I would any free agent, I’m not going to talk about discussions or meetings or where it is, just keep that quiet like anything else...

As first reported by MLB insider Jeff Passan, the Red Sox and Yankees made their seventh trade in the last 50 years on Tuesday evening.Alex Verdugo will be donning pinstripes and shaving his beard, and the Red Sox will add three right-handed pitchers to an organization that needs as much pitching as it can get.Verdugo is in his final year of arbitration, and has been the subject of trade rumors for several months. While the Red Sox never engaged with him on extension talks, several clubs were interested in him at the trade deadline.

There were flashes of brilliance, such as his three consecutive games with a leadoff home run in late August, something no Red Sox player had done before, and stretches of clutch hits, like wh...
