Australia’s only shrew has been declared extinct. Australia leads the world in mammal extinctions and ranks second for loss of biodiversity. We need better funding for conservation action and stronger environmental laws to uphold our international commitments to prevent further extinctions 🧪

If you’re hearing news about a cancer break-through and wonder what’s hype and what’s not, here’s a good explainer of the actual findings in animal studies.

This is some elegant science that pulls together several lines of long-standing inquiry, and yes, it’s a BFD.

Everything the GOP does now has something to do with the Epstein Files.

Imagine if Obama was credibly suspected of raping children, and Democrats were shutting down the government to keep the evidence from becoming public (?)

This is some sick shit. And Republicans own it…

Yes, there's an agreement for a ceasefire, & the release of hostages..But everything else appears to have been pushed out to be dealt with later — from the date of..Israeli withdrawal, to who will govern Gaza..to an implausible "pathway to Palestinian statehood"

Parts of Trump's peace plan look shaky. Here's where it could collapse

There is any number of ways the ceasefire could fall over — perhaps within days.
