Trump's Presidency Reshapes Climate Action Efforts Activists rally to counter rollback of environmental policies as global leaders pivotThe Changing Landscape of Climate Action During Trump's PresidencyWith the recent election of Donald Trump to the presidency for a second time, climate change advocates and scientists are bracing for another tumultuous era of reduced focus on environmental policies. Trump's presidency significantly impacted climate action during his first term, and as discussions surrounding the future of climate policy grow more pressing, the stakes continue to escalate. With commitments to fund climate initiatives and actively participate in COP negotiations, China is expected to take on more responsibility for global climate leadership. This situation paints a complex picture for the coming years, with both immense challenges and motivating opportunities for climate action. Trump's presidency may signal challenges and regressions for climate action, but it also inspires burgeoning movements among young activists who refuse to yield.

Rare Doomsday Fish Sightings Captivate Southern California Multiple oarfish washed ashore raise questions about ocean conditions and folklore around earthquakesSouthern California has recently witnessed unusual marine activity with multiple sightings of the oarfish, often referred to as the "doomsday fish." The name "doomsday fish" has roots steeped in myth, as tales suggest these elongated, serpent-like fish are portents of doom. While the connection between oarfish sightings and seismic activity has fascinated many, scientific studies have debunked these myths. For researchers, every oarfish sighting provides valuable insights. Overall, the recent sightings of oarfish along the southern Californian coast serve not only to enliven local folklore but also highlight the need for continued research and conservation efforts.

It’s been a fun ride for the fifth-ranked Indiana Hoosiers, but their first test with the big boys this year may just be their last. The Hoosiers got on the board first, immediately after forcing a three-and-out to start the game. The Hoosiers went three-and-out to open the third quarter, but their punt was taken to the house by Caleb Downs, giving OSU a 21-7 lead. Indiana again went three-and-out, and the Buckeyes responded with another trip to the end zone. After its touchdown, Indiana failed to score on its next eight drives, finding the end zone again in garbage time.

NFL insider Ian Rapoport called out former Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Mularkey after Mularkey revealed more than six years after his firing that he fed Rapoport a bogus story to get back at his soon-to-be former employer. It was like, ‘All right, you’re done.’”While Mularkey may have found joy in the moment, Rapoport wasn’t laughing six years later. I was a younger reporter then, and the amount of online hate and ridicule I got because Mike Mularkey thought it would be funny to get back at his old boss — it was not fun. I don’t blame Mike Mularkey, but I want to. And we should treat truth better than that.”Mularkey took over as head coach in Tennessee halfway through the 2015 season.

Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, November 23, 2024Christina Harward, Davit Gasparyan, Grace Mappes, Kateryna Stepanenko, William Runkel, and George BarrosNovember 23, 2024, 5:35pm ETClick here to see ISW’s interactive map of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. [26] A Russian milblogger indicated that Russian forces committed some unspecified reserves in the Siversk direction. [30] A Kremlin-affiliated Russian military expert claimed that Russian forces gained a foothold in Chasiv Yar's industrial zone and that Russian forces control 30 percent of the city. The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) claimed that Russian forces seized Novodmytrivka (northwest of Kurakhove), and Russian milbloggers continued to claim that Russian forces are consolidating positions in Berestky (north of Kurakhove on the northern bank of the Kurakhivske Reservoir). [62] The Russian MoD likely intends for this draft law to incentivize better discipline among Russian military personnel, particularly as Russian military personnel continue to publicly complain about the Russian military command's poor treatment of Russian soldiers.

(Reuters) -ByteDance-owned TikTok Chief Executive Officer Shou Zi Chew has sought input on U.S. matters from Elon Musk, a close adviser to President-elect Donald Trump, the Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday citing people familiar with the matter. Chew initiated messages with the Tesla CEO in recent weeks and asked for his opinions on topics ranging from the incoming administration to potential tech policy, the report added. Elon Musk, TikTok, ByteDance and the Trump administration did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comments. ByteDance executives had been hedging their bets before the U.S. election, meeting with people close to Trump and with people close to Democratic nominee Kamala Harris, the report added. Trump, who unsuccessfully tried to ban TikTok in 2020, has said if elected in November he would not allow TikTok to be barred.

President-elect Donald Trump's nominee to oversee labor unions didn't sit well with Rupert Murdoch's prestigious newspaper the Wall Street Journal, whose editorial board lamented Trump's pick Friday night as a "regrettable choice." Chavez-DeRemer, the board said, "has backed union giveaways like the Pro Act, which are not 'cooperation.'" "Why would Mr. Trump want to empower labor bosses who oppose his economic agenda and spent masses to defeat him?" This, the board argued, would return the labor force to World War II era days, when strikes were "rampant" and labor mobility was more difficult. Putting Chavez-DeRemer in charge of the Labor Department, the Journal concluded, "will make labor bosses, not workers, more powerful again."

2 Ohio State Buckeyes dominated the No. 5 Indiana Hoosiers 38-15 to earn a critical Big Ten win as they handed Indiana its first loss of the season. Ohio State hosts the Michigan Wolverines in Columbus, Ohio, while Indiana faces the Purdue Boilermakers in Bloomington, Indiana. If Ohio State loses, then Penn State would be in line to play Oregon if the Nittany Lions win their last two games. Indiana still has a chance with a win and a combination of losses between Ohio State and Penn State.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has chosen Brooke Rollins, president of the America First Policy Institute, to be agriculture secretary. "As our next Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke will spearhead the effort to protect American Farmers, who are truly the backbone of our Country," Trump said in a statement. Department of Agriculture officials and staff negotiate trade deals, guide dietary recommendations, inspect meat, fight wildfires and support rural broadband, among other activities. The America First Policy Institute is a right-leaning think tank whose personnel have worked closely with Trump's campaign to help shape policy for his incoming administration. Trump has said he again plans to institute sweeping tariffs that are likely to affect the farm sector.
