Democratic lawmakers are investigating whether members of Congress gave Capitol tours to rioters before a deadly insurrection on 6 January. The probe follows speculation that Republican members of Congress and Capitol Police may have played a role organising or enabling a deadly mob in support of Donald Trump’s attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election he insists was “stolen” from them.

Don Brown has been driving a school bus for more than 20 years in the Chicago area. And for all that time, he's noticed one odd student habit. As they climb aboard his bus, "when they get to the top step, they always cough," he says. "This was even before the pandemic!

A shocking number of weed seedlings popped up the first spring of my new garden. If you're planning a garden or landscaping project, consider how the materials you use could bring in invasive species – weeds, seeds, and unwanted pests.

But not all composting processes or products are the same. If you're...
