Biden says it would be a ‘mistake’ to try to expand the Supreme Court

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden continued criticism of the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down colleges’ affirmative action programs in an interview on MSNBC’s “Deadline: White House” but said trying to expand the court would be a “mistake.”

Asked by host Nicolle Wallace about expanding the court, Biden said that if it were expanded, it would become too politicized.

An increasing amount of evidence suggests that a healthy lifestyle is linked to better thinking skills later in life. But few studies have looked at healthy lifestyle effects on memory in particular, and none have considered the effects on memory in people with a genetic risk for Alzheimer’s disease. Now a study from China offers insight. The study, published online Jan. 25, 2023, by BMJ, involved more than 29,000 people without dementia (average age 72). Participants initially underwent cognitive testing as well as genetic testing for genes known to raise risk for Alzheimer’s, and reported how well they stuck
