One of the main areas of pushback that Republican leadership in Congress has faced in trying to pass an extension of "section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act" (Fisa) is push to keep the bill “clean”,
-- despite GOP hardliners insisting that reforms and additions are needed.
Some members of the conference, like Representative Anna Paulina Luna, a Republican from Florida, have said that

Wildfires used to 'go to sleep' at night. Climate change is turning them into prime burning hours
Burning time for North American wildfires is going into overtime. Flames are lasting later into the night and starting earlier in the morning because human-caused climate change is extending the hotter and drier conditions that feed fires, a new study found.

Arctic winter sea-ice extent fails to expand and sets a new record low in 2026
In 2026, the Arctic winter sea-ice extent (annual maximum extent) reached the lowest value since satellite observations began in 1979, following the previous record low in March 2025. As part of the Arctic Challenge for Sustainability III (ArCS III), the National Institute of Polar Research (NIPR) and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) maintain a long-term dataset spanning more than 40 years.

Following Hegseth and Hurst’s previous testimony two weeks ago, analyst Stephen Semler estimated that the U.S. government had spent
$71.8 billion over the first 60 days of the Iran war, or an average of $1.2 billion per day.

Microplastics may be quietly damaging your brain and fueling Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s #health

Microplastics may be quietly damaging your brain and fueling Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s
Tiny plastic particles may be quietly threatening brain health. New research suggests microplastics—now widely found in food, water, and even household dust—could trigger inflammation and damage in the brain through multiple biological pathways. Scientists estimate adults may consume about 250 grams of these particles each year, and some can accumulate in organs including the brain.
