Congress passes budget to expand mass deportations, cut social services, and stall clean energy

The Republican-controlled US Congress has passed a budget bill that includes cuts to social programs like Medicaid and more funding for Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), alongside provisions that discourage wind and solar energy production. Passed after a marathon debate in both houses, it will allow President Donald Trump to realize policy goals he’s so far attempted to push through executive orders and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Trump intends to sign the

The White House’s favorite source of pro-Trump news is … the White House’s YouTube channel

The most frequently curated content on the White House Wire, the Trump administration’s attempt to aggregate pro-Trump “real news” from across the right-wing media, doesn’t come from Truth Social, Breitbart, or even Fox News. It comes from YouTube — notably, from the White House’s own channel. The White House Wire was launched at the end of April on the official WH.gov page, around the time that the Trump comms team began ramping up its war on the mainstream journalists and outlets who covered

xAI prepares Grok 4 Code as it plans to take on Claude and Gemini

xAI is preparing the rollout of Grok 4, which replaces Grok 3 as the new state-of-the-art model. Ahead of the rollout, testers on X have again spotted references to a few new Grok 4 models.

Lost in Space: A ‘Game-Changing’ Emissions Satellite Just Went Dark

An $88 million satellite backed by billionaire Jeff Bezos is lost in space. MethaneSAT, designed to sniff out sources of methane emissions across the globe, only survived about 15 months in Earth’s orbit before meeting its untimely end. The Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), which launched the satellite in March 2024, announced its demise on July 1. The organization revealed that MethaneSAT suddenly went silent on June 20, and its mission operations team has been unable to re-establish contact e

Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ Would Leave Millions Without Health Insurance

Senate Republicans on Tuesday passed President Donald Trump’s sprawling tax and spending package, known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” paving the way for a major overhaul of the country’s Medicaid program. If passed by the House, which could happen before the July Fourth holiday, millions of people stand to lose their health insurance. The number of people without health insurance in the United States nearly halved from 2013 to 2023, falling from around 14 percent to a record low of less than

Final GOP bill kneecaps renewables and hydrogen but lifts nuclear and geothermal

Republican legislators Thursday passed a reconciliation act that, among other things, unwinds much of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The bill, which passed 218-214 with two Republicans voting no, now awaits President Donald Trump’s signature. Trump is expected to sign it. Solar, wind, and clean hydrogen will all lose incentives under the new bill, while nuclear and geothermal see some IRA benefits preserved. The final bill is largely what emerged from the Senate Finance Committee in mid-Jun

Judge: You can’t ban DEI grants without bothering to define DEI

In mid-June, a federal judge issued a stinging rebuke to the Trump administration, declaring that its decision to cancel the funding for many grants issued by the National Institutes of Health was illegal, and suggesting that the policy was likely animated by racism. But the detailed reasoning behind his decision wasn't released at the time. The written portion of the decision was finally issued on Wednesday, and it has a number of notable features. For starters, it's more limited in scope due

Despite their imposing presence, quantum computers are delicate beasts, and their errors are among the main bottlenecks that the quantum computing community is actively working to address. Failing this, promising applications in finance, drug discovery, and materials science may never become real. That’s the reason why Google touted the error-correction capacities of its latest quantum computing chip, Willow. And IBM is both working on delivering its own “fault-tolerant” quantum computer by 202

Your Bird Feeder Is in the Wrong Spot. Here's Where It Should Be, According to a Wildlife Expert

As a wellness writer and amateur birder, I appreciate the health benefits of listening to birds. Studies show that hearing birdsong can positively impact our mental health, reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression and lowering stress levels. Until recently, I lived in an apartment in the heart of a city. I had to actively seek nature and the advantages of being surrounded by our avian friends. I now live in a house with a backyard and mature trees, where birds flit among the bushes and bounc
