gizmodo.com Ed Cara 2025-10-14 22:05:08

Fresh off the internal collapse of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s senior leadership, U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. testified before the Senate Finance Committee on Thursday. There, Kennedy deflected and denied any harmful impacts from the CDC’s implosion, while repeatedly spouting misinformation about vaccines and other health issues.

How Often Should You Vacuum to Get Rid of Microplastics and Other Particulates? (2025)

While that household dust could be anywhere in your home, carpet turns out to have its own is

Stairs are the enemy of robot vacuums everywhere. There isn’t currently a single robot vacuum on the market that can climb a flight of stairs without human assistance.
