The botched announcement about mRNA vaccines reveals a health department full of dysfunction and infighting.

It sure looks that way, at least. Democrats should start coming up with a plan.

U.S. Atty. Bill Essayli has aggressively pushed for indictments in the high-profile prosecutions of people arrested during demonstrations against federal immigration actions in Southern California, leading to an incident that sources said involved an outburst overheard by grand jurors.

For decades, trans athletes have been fighting to compete on teams that are consistent with their gender identity. Next year, the Supreme Court could put an end to it.

The menu has dwindled down to just a burger, three sandwiches, a hot dog, fries, a cup of chili, a slice of pecan pie and drinks, and all-day breakfast is gone.

When it comes to telling males and females apart, many bird species reject subtlety altogether. Roosters stand out thanks to their big, bright comb and ear-splitting “cock-a-doodle-doo.” Bachelor birds-of-paradise flaunt their vibrant plumage to attract more subdued females. And the male peacock’s feathered train is so ostentatious it famously threw even Charles Darwin for a loop. But that’s not the case for all bird species. When males and females look pretty much the same, scientists must try harder—often using DNA testing—to separate the sexes. According to a new study of wild Australian birds, these methods may be leading to misidentification in cases where an individual’s gonads and outward appearance don’t align with the genetic sex determined by its chromosomes. As scientists report today in Biology Letters, this phenomenon—known as sex reversal—may be more common than anyone expected. The discovery is likely to “raise some eyebrows” (or is it ruffle some feathers?), says Blanche Capel, a biologist at Duke University who wasn’t involved in the new work. Although sex determination is often viewed as a straightforward process, she explains, the reality is much more complicated.

Donald Trump has unleashed the National Guard in Washington, D.C., and his team is plotting to use federal forces in other Democratic cities.

Nicknamed 'Punctum,' this puzzling phenomenon is highly energetic, but is only seen in millimeter-wavelength light and cannot be explained by any known object.

The AI in the study probably prompted doctors to become over-reliant on its recommendations, “leading to clinicians becoming less motivated, less focused, and less responsible when making cognitive decisions without AI assistance,” the scientists said in the paper.

The Polari Prize, one of the UK’s premiere awards celebrating LGBTQ+ writing, has sparked controversy by including John Boyne’s Earth as a contender for their annual Book Prize. In protest, at least half of the other longlisted authors and a number of judges have withdrawn themselves from contention. For years, Boyne has made himself unpopular over his comments about the trans community. Most egregiously, he published an article in the Irish Independent this year wishing J.K. Rowling a happy birthday, saying “as a fellow Terf, I stand four-square behind her.” Much of the anger from the trans community was in response to his 2019 book about a young boy and his trans sibling. His defensive response to critiques of the book angered more people, which led him to leave Twitter altogether. And as if that wasn’t enough, Boyne also picked a fight with the Auschwitz Memorial Museum online, which is never a good look.

California arrests lag behind states such as Texas and Florida, because those states started with more arrests. They also have a stronger record of cooperation.

Immigrants rights groups and the Trump administration will have their say before District Court Judge Lewis Kaplan on Tuesday about ICE’s shadowy detention floor.

The attorney claims he was hacked but says he "should have caught it."
