Elon Musk's DOGE has cut finding to the American nonprofit Internet Archive, which was busy archiving websites targeted by Trump.

The Trump administration continues pushing the lab leak theory.
That’s just wild. The one silver lining to T2 is that I’m not shocked by anything anymore. It’s still outrageous, but the surprise is gone.

For the better part of A's life, she never suspected anything was wrong.
She breezed through getting her driver's license. She applied to college and filed her taxes year after year without any hiccups. That is, until she applied for her passport.
Suddenly, the document she always relied on — a delayed registration of birth, which is fairly common among adoptees — was no longer enough. She realized the papers that would prove she was a citizen were not just missing — they had never existed in the first place.no
" I just sensed there was something wrong and it seemed frightening," said A, who asked to be referred to by her last initial out of fear of deportation.
A later found out that her adoptive parents never completed her naturalization. It meant she was technically barred from accessing things that she took for granted all her life — like college financial aid. It also left A, who is now in her 40s, vulnerable to deportation to her native South Korea — a count
Some parents in a suburban Maryland county want to pull their children from elementary school classes that use books featuring LGBTQ characters.
A prince lassos a dragon, saving a knight in shining armor from certain death. But the prince slips and as he falls, the knight and his steed race to return the favor.
Then the two men fall in love.
That story, “Prince and Knight,” is one of five children’s books featuring LGBTQ characters and aimed at kindergarten through the fifth grade that have roiled a diverse suburban Maryland school district and led to a Supreme Court case that the justices will hear on Tuesday.
Parents in Montgomery County who object for religious reasons want to pull their children from elementary school classes that use the books.
This week the <em>Financial Times</em> ran a major article headlined “Is the world losing faith in the almighty US dollar?” The answer, in the wake of the fall in the dollar’s value in the midst of the turmoil unleashed by Trump’s tariff war was that it is.
At first, it was just a quiet murmur in relatively isolated sections of the financial press. Today, however, the voices are growing louder: the US dollar could lose its role as the world’s global currency amid the breakdown of all the arrangements and mechanisms of the post-war period under the impact of the US economic war against the world initiated by President Trump.
Peer-reviewed study’s findings raises fresh question on the toxic substances’ impact on fertility
Microplastics have been found for the first time in human ovary follicular fluid, raising a new round of questions about the ubiquitous and toxic substances’ potential impact on women’s fertility.
The new peer-reviewed research published in Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety checked for microplastics in the follicular fluid of 18 women undergoing assisted reproductive treatment at a fertility clinic in Salerno, Italy, and detected them in 14.
The findings represent a major step toward figuring out how and why microplastics impact women’s reproductive health, but are also “very alarming”, Luigi Montano, a researcher at the University of Rome and study lead author, said.
Critics on the right and left say the bitcoin reserve is a pointless industry handout — and using tariff revenue is even dumber.
IF DONALD TRUMP’S sweeping global tariffs send household good prices soaring and drive the economy into recession, at least one industry could profit.
The Trump administration is considering using tariff revenues to buy Bitcoin for a “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve,” a top administration crypto official said in an interview last week.
The White House’s proposal is driving interest from crypto industry figures who have made building the reserve one of their top priorities.
It is uniting critics on the right and left, however, who have cast the reserve as a pointless industry giveaway that will come at the expense of ordinary taxpayers. Using tariff money would add insult to injury, they say.
Among the threats tariffs pose to the U.S. economy, none may be as strange as the sell-off in the dollar.
Tesla’s Cybertruck problem keeps getting worse
Remember those million pre-orders Tesla allegedly had for the Cybertruck, according to CEO Elon Musk? It's getting tougher and tougher for the company to explain where all of them went.
After putting around 50,000 Cybertrucks on the road, according to a recent recall filing, the company appears to be out of pre-orders and desperately looking to juice demand. Case in point: It's now offering up to $10,000 off certain Cybertrucks it has in inventory.

Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., revealed new details about his meeting this week with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, including that he had been traumatized by his imprisonment in El Salvador.

The Maryland senator held a news conference at Washington Dulles International Airport on Friday upon his return from El Salvador, where he told reporters that he met with Abrego Garcia for more than 30 minutes and informed him of the national attention on his case, which the senator said Abrego Garcia was unaware of.
