Federal agents hurled tear gas and pepper spray into a crowd of about 100 protesters who attempted to block vans from entering and exiting a U.S. Immigration and Customs holding facility in Broadview

Bold of the writer to assume there was ever corporate responsibility after a certain scale.

Biologists at The University of Texas at Austin, who have reported discovering a bird that's the natural result of a green jay and a blue jay's mating, say it may be among the first examples of a hybrid animal that exists because of recent changing patterns in the climate. The two different parent species are separated by 7 million years of evolution, and their ranges didn't overlap as recently as a few decades ago.

This just in from the 'Jokes That Write Themselves' Dept.: Grammy-winning songwriter Brett James, known for penning hits including Carrie Underwood’s “Jesus, Take the Wheel,” died in a small-engine plane crash on Thursday, according to the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. He was 57.

Brayan Ramos-Brito was the first of immigration protesters to go to trial in Los Angeles federal court.

Yesterday, two of Washington’s Democrat congress members, Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez and Rep. Kim Schrier, betrayed the city they work in, betrayed their party and betrayed the resistance against authoritarian overreach when they sided with Trump and his Republican cronies to approve a bill to tighten the Trump Administration's fascist grip on the City of Washington, D.C.. Gluesenkamp Perez, who we must conclude picked her party affiliation based on what color she preferred, also joined Republ

Samsung’s ‘screens everywhere’ initiative is morphing into ads everywhere.

Four people were rescued from a boat off the coast of Portugal after the vessel was rammed by orcas, in the third incident involving killer whales in a week. Portugal’s Coastal and Border Control Unit (UCCF) rescued four people from the boat on Monday after they were alerted to “repeated strikes on its bow caused by killer whales”, the National Guard (GNR) said.

“It is no surprise that the Trump administration continues to retaliate against me for my exercise of free speech," Khalil, a former Columbia University grad student, said in a statement.

Baseball tends to present the first men to crack the sport’s shameful racial barrier through a gauzy lens, their caps topped with a halo. There is the sanctified Jackie Robinson, and his Brooklyn teammates Don Newcombe and Roy Campanella; there’s Larry Doby, the first black player in the American League, and the many others who weren’t Hall of Famers. These were three-dimensional people who in many cases lived wild and eventful American lives, but the monstrous vastness of the bigotry they pierced has, in retrospect, flattened their specific individual foibles and idiosyncrasies, and their poor qualities, too. Among that elite group of barrier-breaking pioneers, one was such a complex mixture of talent and trouble that his life defies any kind of tidy categorization. As a result, he’s almost completely forgotten today, although he was the third African-American to play in the bigs. The halo doesn’t quite fit Hank Thompson. He was a talented and pioneering ballplayer, but where Jackie Robinson turned the other cheek, Thompson carried a gun.

On Saturday, the chairman of the Republican Party in Michigan's Oakland County spent his afternoon directing his online followers' attention to local businesses that had not lowered their flags to half staff to honor the memory of the slain conservative podcaster Charlie Kirk. President Donald Trump had issued that order, "for all American flags," earlier in the day, in a post on the Playskool version of Twitter where he does such things. "Maintaining a flag is a responsibility that shouldn’t be taken lightly," the GOP chairman, Vance Patrick, wrote. "Post anyone who isn’t taking it seriously in this thread." Patrick became the change he wanted to see by naming and shaming a garden center, tire store, and car wash; in his mentions are pictures, clearly taken through the windows of a car, of a McDonald's and an Aloft hotel in Park City, Utah, and of a second Michigan car wash, and of a Methodist church in Illinois. By Twitter's own accounting, just a few hundred people saw Patrick's posts, and only a few dozen saw the replies. That Patrick is, and pardon the political science jargon here, "just some squeaker" both is and isn't salient. Whether Patrick was able to make trouble for the offending garden center or tire store, whose phone numbers he provided with that goal in mind, the more meaningful part is that he understood it as his civic obligation to try. Or, maybe, he was just some squeaker scrabbling around for clout at the expense of a stranger. It is increasingly difficult to tell the difference. There aren't really central tenets to Trumpism, at least beyond the bigoted defaults of the stupid and spiteful stripe of the American Elite from which Trump himself emerged; that absence of ethos, at least beyond the belief that it is the absolute and natural right of that rancid elect to prey upon everyone and everything else, constructs a perverse permission structure of its own. Trump did not invent any of this so much as it invented him, and the fantasy of Trumpism, for those who have remade or simply discovered themselves in the service of it, is that Trump's followers might through their service claim for themselves the same privileges that Trump himself has so delighted in abusing. This is not how it works for followers, though, or with Trump; those who live to serve him have always very clearly been destined to be buried alive with him. It is, in every degrading sense, a sort of American Dream.

'Jimmy Kimmel Live' was taken off air by ABC and Nexstar after Trump’s FCC chair called on broadcasters to stop airing the show.

The authors assess the growing field of climate change health impact attribution. They show literature bias towards direct heat effects and extreme weather in high-income countries, highlighting the lack of global representation in current efforts.

“Do not ever, ever, ever compare anyone to Hitler,” Fetterman told Baier. “You will incite somebody to say, ‘Well, now I feel like I have to stop that, to get them out.’”

Every year, former astronauts like me are invited back to the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, to get a flight physical. NASA is still collecting data from us to better understand the long-term effects of human spaceflight. I look forward to this trip every year as an opportunity to enjoy the comradery of my former NASA colleagues and our shared optimism about our future in space. But this year I found an environment of fear and uncertainty that struck me as a serious safety concern.

Current users of the app will be asked to shift to a new app, which TikTok has built and is testing.

Prediction markets once lived on the academic fringe. Now they’re trading billions on politics, sports, and celebrity gossip — under rules never designed for retail gamblers.

I was working at the magazine as a fact-checker and my parents no longer considered me a failure, not because they read or admired it, but because when they said its name to friends and relatives it sparkled on their tongues. The magazine’s politics were what passes for center-left in the United States. The editor-in-chief once told us that the geographic distribution of our subscribers was nearly identical to Obama’s 2008 electoral map. Wherever I went in New York, I saw white people of nearly every description carrying the magazine’s tote bag around like a talisman, though what they thought they were warding against, exactly, I’m not sure. At work, it was surprising to be surrounded by demonstrably smart people who believed, for example, that Donald Trump’s election was somehow surprising, that meaningful wealth redistribution was beyond the political pale, or that individual human beings, and not systems, were history’s main actors. The operating orthodoxy was that police killings, CIA coups, black site torture, and institutional misogyny were aberrations, deviations from the American norm that would eventually be corrected when the arc of the moral universe, long as it is, finally got around to them. I insulated myself from this flavor of stupidity by rigorously avoiding news stories, though I knew that one day some Muslims who hated the West would kill some Westerners and I would have to bite my tongue and check some pieces that implied, but never outright stated, that Arabs were predisposed to bloodlust. I hated the West, too. I hated how Westerners were always asking to itemize the bill at dinner, how they never took enough responsibility for, say, inventing fascism and nuclear weapons, or for instigating the Bengal famine. They fought in stilted HR-speak, and shoved bland food into ruddy, clammy faces. My hatred never reached the level of murderousness, though it did put me in a tricky position. I couldn’t “go home” because I had no “home” to go back to; Egypt, where my family lived, was languishing under high inflation and military dictatorship, while the Emirates, where I’d grown up, was a land of indentured servitude. Besides, I wanted to become a novelist, and novelists lived in New York.

Federal police are still investigating whether the aircraft was involved in drug trafficking

New observations of a brown dwarf nicknamed The Accident, which is about 50 light-years from Earth, have found a cloud-forming molecule that hasn’t been seen on any other brown dwarf, exoplanet, or solar system object to date, helping scientists understand the hidden chemistry of Jupiter and Saturn and possibly other gas giant worlds. The discovery—detailed in the journal Nature and led by Associate Curator Jackie Faherty in the Museum’s Department of Astrophysics—shows evidence of a simple silicon molecule called silane. One of the most common elements in the universe, and thought to be key to the formation of clouds on gas giants, silane has gone largely undetected in the atmospheres of Jupiter and Saturn and in planets like them around other stars.
