Cory Booker Just Gave The Longest Speech In The History of The US Senate Only two men have spoken on the floor of the U.S. Senate...

In his 1957 filibuster, Strom Thurmond said "Negroes ... are not so well qualified to vote as are the white people.”

A Black senator just broke the record Thurmond set with that speech.

Rubisco enzyme is responsible for capturing CO2 from the atmosphere, crucial for photosynthesis. Recent research has mapped mutant Rubisco molecules which could revolutionize plant CO2 assimilation & adapt to future climates

Germany: Parties agree on historic debt deal – DW – 03/14/2025 The CDU/CSU bloc and the SPD have reached an agreement with the Greens on a massive increase in government borrowing.

Remarkable climate news from Germany!

Conservatives (CDU/CSU) and Social Democrats (SPD) agreed in principle with the Green Party on plans for a massive increase in state borrowing for infrastructure and military.

The Greens secured a €100 billion fund for climate and economic transformation.
