Lawmakers say some Epstein files remain redacted despite DOJ's pledge Reps. Jamie Raskin and Jared Moskowitz told reporters key documents retained redactions despite the DOJ's pledge that members of Congress could view the full files.

Raskin says DOJ's reading room has just four computers. It would take seven years to get through the files in the current conditions established by the DOJ.

A new way to fight antibiotic resistance : Short Wave In 1928, a chance contaminant in Scottish physician Alexander Fleming’s lab experiment led to a discovery that would change the field of medicine forever: penicillin.

Barber talks to biophysicist Nathalie Balaban about the conundrum — and a discovery her lab has made in bacteria that could turn the tides.Check out our episodes on extreme bacteria in Yellowstone and the last universal common ancestor. Interested in more science behind our medicines?

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Give a starving man a fish and you feed him for a day.

But give a starving man a Bible and you get to brag about how you saved him just before he died for the rest of your life. Glory!

A stout, tan-colored toad with very rough skin! They are covered in lots of spiky bumps and have a large ridge running from the tip of their pointy nose and around their eyes! They have rather green eyes with a horizontal pupil!

Our friend the Hispaniolan Armored Toad was first described in 2018 and is only known from a single location in the Dominican Republic! Their skin is very rough and bumpy, and they have prominent armored ridges on their head, giving them their name! (photo by Judá Isaí Martínez Uribe)

There are a growing number of reports of agents impersonating construction workers, delivery drivers & anti-ICE activists, heightening fears in the state.

That's deceptive & unconstitutional, because they use trickery to get around warrant & consent protections.

This is what Hess said: “It brings up mixed emotions to represent the US right now. I think it’s a little hard. There’s obviously a lot going on that I’m not the biggest fan of. Just because I wear the flag doesn't mean I represent everything that's going on in the US.”
