Donald Trump showed a classified map he retained from his first term in office to passengers on a 2022 private plane flight
and retained another record so sensitive that only six high-ranking government officials had access to it,
according to a prosecution memo released to Congress this week.

The Justice Department shared those findings, detailed in a January 2023 briefing document written by then-special counsel Jack Smith’s team,
with lawmakers as they conduct a …

Trump showed classified map to passengers on his plane in 2022, memo says
The document offers a snapshot of an early moment in special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation and adds new shading to the public understanding of Smith’s probes.

I'm exploring Irish census data to try to understand more about one-off "rural" housing, and have accidentally discovered that the most densely-populated small-area in Ireland is in Limerick's Dock Rd, where 255 people live in apartments with a ground area of 2,500m2.
One-off houses in the country are typically on "half-acre" plots, i.e., 2,000m2.

Are there other countries in the world, apart from the US, where legislative disputes actually shut down public functions and hold pay hostage, not just theoretically?
(They changed the law in the UK in September 2011 that would make a shudown possible, but repealed it in March 2022.)

Penguins are breeding much earlier in a warming Antarctic, study finds
Penguins are dramatically shifting their breeding season as the Antarctic peninsula warms, a recent study finds. From 2012 to 2022, researchers used remote cameras to examine the timing of breeding for three penguin species across 37 colonies on the Antarctic peninsula and surrounding islands. They tracked their ‘settlement date’: when the penguins began continuously occupying […]

Twenty-one states funneled nearly a half-billion dollars, or $491 million, of taxpayer money
to anti-abortion "crisis pregnancy center" organizations between fiscal years 2022 and 2025.
That figure does not include millions some states diverted from federal programs like "Temporary Assistance for Needy Families",
and it does not include multimillion-dollar tax credit programs launched after federal protections for abortion rights were overturned.
