Trump announces 'Patriot Games' with 2 competitors from every state and territory

America’s 250th birthday is on July 4, 2026, and the White House is planning to go all out to celebrate, promoting new national events, such as the “Patriot Games,” that will anchor the yearlong festivities.
President Trump announced Thursday the launch of Freedom 250, “a national, non-partisan organization leading the Administration’s celebration” to “deliver the most extraordinary commemoration in American history,” according to a news release.
“These landmark events — spanning culture, faith, innovation,

Air pollution isn't just bad for human health; it also poses an existential threat to certain fly species.
New research from the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology found that elevated ozone levels inhibit mating among flies.
Ozone in the stratosphere helps protect the Earth from dangerous UV radiation. But down here, the gas is a threat to our health, food supply, and biodiversity. The latter is apparent in this recent study, which found that ozone exposure significantly degrades fly pheromones.
When this happens, male and female flies have a hard time recognizing each other, renderi

Along with its many other innovations, the Roman Empire revolutionized architecture with never-before-seen features, such as large-scale arches and dome roofs. And many of these structures still stand today despite being more than 2,000 years old.
None of it would have been possible without the Romans’ infallible building material: self-healing concrete. Now, an ancient construction site has revealed the recipe for creating this sturdy foundation.
At the time Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79, covering Pompeii in as much as 6 meters (19.7 feet) of volcanic ash, construction workers were in the

Numerous stories have been written about the growing swarm of Starlink satellites in low earth orbit (LEO) over the past few years, as astronomers grow increasingly worried about the crafts’ impact on their observation equipment. Launched by Elon Musk’s ******* eX, each satellite has the potential to disrupt astronomy through both radio emissions and light pollution — and as the number of satellites grows, so too does the amount of interference.
Now, a new study by researchers at NASA is warning that obstructions caused by ******* eX and other private satellite companies are becoming so sever

Scottish Conservative peer defects to Reform UK

The former Conservative business and Scotland Office Minister, Lord Malcolm Offord, has defected to Reform UK.
He was unveiled by Nigel Farage at a rally at the Macdonald Inchyra hotel in Falkirk on Saturday.
Lord Offord was the serving Treasurer of the Scottish Conservatives and served on the Lords front bench from 2021 until 2024.
He told the rally he planned to stand down from the Lords and campaign as a candidate for Reform in the 2026 Holyrood elections.
Announcing his defection, Lord Offord accused the Conservatives of "giving up" on

2,000 Bitcoin on the move: Rare Casascius coins awaken after 13 years

The physical Bitcoin collectibles were minted when Bitcoin was trading for just $3.88 and $11.69 each, marking a massive potential return.
Two long-dormant Casascius coins — each backed by 1,000 Bitcoin — have just been activated as of Friday, unlocking more than $179 million stashed away for more than 13 years.
Onchain data indicates that one of the Casascius coins was minted in October 2012, when Bitcoin was trading for $11.69.
The other was minted earlier in December 2011, when Bitcoin was valued at only $3.88, givi

NASA warns satellite boom could ruin 96% of telescope images

A new NASA-led study shows that the increasing number of satellites in low-Earth orbit could ruin up to 96% of images from some orbiting telescopes and **** e observatories.
“The urgency starts in the moment we’re seeing a very rapid increase in the number of satellite constellations, in particular, not the satellites that have been launched, but in the satellites that are being proposed,” Dr. Alejandro Serrano Borlaff, research scientist at NASA Ames Research Center and co-author of the study, told ABC News. “Before these satell

In recent remarks at the “Revitalizing America’s Markets” event, SEC Chair Paul Atkins laid out a plan that would fundamentally redefine what it means to be a public company in the United States. He framed it as a plan to “make IPOs great again,” but beneath the rhetoric lies something far more consequential: a shift toward a marketplace where public companies behave like private ones — shielded from disclosure, insulated from shareholder input, and increasingly detached from the long-term health of the broader economy. In essence, it is a move toward absolute control by CEOs and their boards

Vatican commission again says no to ordaining women as deacons, but urges other ministries

ROME (AP) — A second Vatican study commission has determined that women should not be ordained as deacons, dealing another setback to Catholic women who hope one day to be able to preside at weddings, baptisms and funerals.
The Vatican on Thursday took the unusual step of publishing a synthesis of the commission’s findings, including the members' votes on specific theological questions. The report left open the possibility of further study but proposed instead the creation of new lay ministries for w

PARIS, Dec 4 (Reuters) - The European Union has reached a preliminary deal on how to regulate gene-edited crops in a move that could ease the development of new varieties in a region long ‌wary of biotech innovations in food.
The EU has debated for years how to regulate so-called new ‌genomic techniques (NGT), which can edit the genetic material of an organism without introducing traits from another species.
Proponents say the technology accelerates naturally-occurring mutations and offers a response to climate and environmental pressures, while critics bracket it with genetically modified o

Shadow chancellor Mel Stride has called for the UK's financial regulator to investigate "possible market abuse" by people working in the Treasury and Downing Street in the run-up the Budget.
The move comes as Chancellor Rachel Reeves denied she misled the public over the state of the country's finances, after it emerged she and officials had been told they were in better shape than widely thought - but she still gave briefings that the Tories described as overly pessimistic.
The Conservatives have called on her to resign and Stride sent a letter to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) reque

Boosting One Protein Reawakens Aging Brain Cells in Mice, Study Shows

A discovery by researchers from the Baylor College of Medicine in the US could lead to treatments that clear the troublesome aggregations of protein thought to play a key role in Alzheimer's disease.
Using mice bred to have a condition similar to the neurodegenerative disorder, the team found that elevated levels of a protein called Sox9 triggered specialized brain cells to go into clean-up overdrive, 'vacuuming' up plaques with increased efficiency.
In behavioral and memory tests, the treated mice also performed better

JPMorgan's (JPM) top stock market strategists think 2026 will be another good year for US investors.
The firm's equity strategy team, led by Dubravko Lakos-Bujas, set a year-end price target of 7,500 for the S&P 500 (^GSPC) in 2026.
Should the Federal Reserve continue cutting interest rates, however, the bank thinks the S&P 500 could surpass 8,000 in the year ahead.

Rising temperatures have devastated two of India’s most prized crops, forcing farmers to look for ways to adapt to climate change as global demand for the products grows in line with rising incomes.
Heat has devastated the cultivation of cardamom: Last year’s poor harvest pushed prices up 70%. Meanwhile, India’s tea production dropped almost 6% this year compared to last after temperatures repeatedly topped 35°C (95°F), meaning “the bushes essentially shut down,” an expert told Nikkei.

(Reuters) -Bitcoin mining is quietly staging a comeback in China despite being banned four years ago, as individual and corporate miners exploit cheap electricity and a data center boom in some energy-rich provinces, according to miners and industry data.
China had been the world's biggest crypto mining country until Beijing banned all cryptocurrency trading and mining in 2021, citing threats to the country's financial stability and energy conservation.
After having seen its global bitcoin mining market share slump to zero as a result of the ban, China crept back to third place with a 14% sh

Michael Saylor's base case puts Bitcoin at $13 million per coin by 2045, which would turn a $100 investment today into $15,115 in 20 years.
Even Saylor's most conservative (or least preposterous) $3 million target would deliver a 3,388% return, beating the S&P 500's historical averages by a healthy margin.
A more realistic 14.5% annual return would turn $100 into $1,500 over 20 years -- and that's plenty for most investors.
