Oregon topped this year's list, having the highest percentage of inbound migration, with 65% being people moving into the state. The Eugene-Springfield metro accounted for the most inbound moves. "This is well-evidenced by the half-ring of top inbound states surrounding California while the Golden State registers as a top outbound one," Berner said. But about 21% of inbound moves to New Jersey were people aged 18-34, as the state is considered a "launch state" for younger families and those looking to start careers.

That isn’t the case in the current term, which saw Trump packing his cabinet with known political figures with well-documented, long-held beliefs. Of course, this isn’t universally true for all Trump cabinet secretaries — even those who have changed positions. Kennedy rose to national prominence as a skeptic of vaccines, and the Trump administration implemented his vision Monday by upending the nation’s pediatric vaccine schedule.

Five years after the Capitol attack, most of the officers injured that day have never widely shared their experience. I had to call my mom and just let her know, like, “I don’t know how this is gonna play out.
