  • Top Republicans, led by Trump, refuse to commit to accept 2024 election results

    May 9, 2024

    Top Republicans, led by former president Donald Trump, are refusing to commit to accept November's election results with six months until voters head to the polls, raising concerns that the country could see a repeat of the violent aftermath of Trump's loss four years ago. The question has become something of a litmus test, particularly among the long list of possible running mates for Trump, whose relationship with his first vice president, Mike Pence, ruptured because Pence resisted Trump's...

  • Company fined $650K for hiring children to clean meatpacking plants

    May 9, 2024

In at least one case, a child was...

  • Biden touts Microsoft AI center on site of Trump's failed Foxconn deal

    May 9, 2024

  • How climate change is raising the risks of another pandemic

    May 9, 2024

    As humans degrade earth's environment, we have created a world in which diseases may be increasingly apt to fester and multiply.

When pollution, hunting or development push rare organisms to extinction, parasites proliferate because they have evolved to target the most abundant species. And then there are the harms caused when humans introduce nonnative plants and...

    May 9, 2024
