Missouri Votes Today on Killing Its Income Tax — 63% of Revenue Gone, So What Fills the Gap? Mamdani's Grocery Store Eligibility Rules Make

Missouri voters decide today whether to phase out the state income tax — which currently makes up 63 percent of state revenue. If it passes, taxes go up somewhere else, guaranteed. We break down how we'd vote. Mayor Mamdani's proposed grocery stores apparently only require a NYC library card to shop — not income, not need. That detail alone tells you this idea is in trouble before it's even built. And Ohio Congressman Max Miller faces a Wednesday deadline to be pulled from the ballot over serious domestic abuse allegations from his ex-wife — allegations his own former father-in-law, a sitting senator, calls disqualifying. Is this the Republican version of what Democrats went through with Graham Platner in Maine? We ask directly. All of it today.

Safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of LBP-EC01, a CRISPR-Cas3-enhanced bacteriophage cocktail, in uncomplicated urinary tract infections due to Escherichia coli (ELIMINATE): the randomised, open-label, first part of a two-part phase 2 trial

A regimen consisting of 2 days of intraurethral LBP-EC01 and 3 days of concurrent intravenous LBP-EC01 (1 × 1010 PFU) and oral TMP–SMX twice a day was well tolerated, with consistent pharmacokinetic profiles in urine and blood. LBP-EC01 and TMP–SMX dosing resulted in a rapid and durable reduction of E coli, with corresponding elimination of clinical symptoms in evaluable patients. LBP-EC01 holds promise in providing an alternative therapy for uncomplicated UTIs, with further testing of the group A dosing regimen planned in the controlled, double-blind, second part of ELIMINATE.
