Most voters – 68% – say they are not satisfied with the presidential candidates this year, but Joe Biden’s supporters are more likely than Donald Trump’s to hold this view. Wide majorities also view the campaign as too negative (68%) and not policy-focused (76%) and say it does not make them feel proud of the country (87%). Against this backdrop, more than half of voters (53%) would like to see both Biden and Trump replaced as candidates, a share that’s ticked up since April. But Biden supporters are considerably more likely than Trump supporters to say this. Visit Chapter 2…

The HodgeTwins, a content creator, advertised on X photos of T-shirts with the message “Fight! Fight! Fight!” and promising that “100% of profits from this shirt go to Trump’s campaign.” Another promo image showed a man wearing a shirt with the message: “Shooting Makes Me Stronger.” Another says “I Will Never Stop.” Caffeine & Kaspa, a Florida-based X user who describes himself as a “Tesla fanatic” and a “crypto investor,” had even more merch. “Trump shirt with fist in the air! Also have mugs, stickers, buttons, and more!” he said.   The trend was not confined to the U.S. The shooting T-shirts…

Neutron stars are some of the most extreme objects in the universe. Formed from the collapsed cores of supergiant stars, they weigh more than our Sun and yet are compressed into a sphere the size of a city. The dense cores of these exotic stars contain matter squashed into unique states that we can’t possibly replicate and study on Earth. That’s why NASA is on a mission to study neutron stars and learn about the physics that governs the matter inside them. My colleagues and I have been helping them out. We used radio signals from a fast-spinning neutron star…

I would like to start by welcoming the agreement of this Council of a Presidential Statement on UNOWAS. During what is a challenging period for the region, that was an important signal of the Council’s full support for the region’s peace and security. We commend the penholders Sierra Leone and Switzerland for their excellent work to get it agreed.  We wish to make four points today. First, the UK congratulates Mauritania and Senegal for their peaceful transfers of power. But democracy and civic space are under pressure in the region. We note that timelines for restoration of constitutional governments in Mali and Burkina Faso have been extended, and we reiterate the Council’s call, in its recent Presidential Statement, for the restoration of constitutional order. Guinea’s transition timeline has…

In late April, farmers in Saskatchewan stumbled upon spacecraft fragments while preparing their fields for seeding. It sounds like the beginning of a science fiction movie, but this really happened, sending a powerful warning: it is only a matter of time before someone is seriously hurt or killed by falling space junk. The Axiom Space private astronaut mission (Ax-3) concluded safely on Feb. 9 when its SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule splashed down off the coast of Florida. Several weeks later, the Crew Dragon’s cargo trunk re-entered the atmosphere over Canada after being abandoned in orbit prior to the capsule’s return.…

I just returned from the NATO summit in Washington, D.C., where there was much talk about the future of the alliance over the next 75 years. As an international affairs expert, I am on the record as being profoundly skeptical that NATO will even survive another four years if Donald Trump becomes president for a second time. Why? Mostly, because I take everything Trump has said about the alliance seriously and literally, and also because NATO relies so much on the American pledge to follow through on “an attack upon one equals an attack upon all,” the heart and key…

Voter engagement with the 2024 election is about as high today it was at similar points during the 2020 and 2016 campaigns. And on various measures of interest in the campaign and voting, there are no significant differences between Biden and Trump supporters. Most voters (71%) say it really matters who wins the election. This is slightly lower than the share who said this about the 2020 election that August (76%) and somewhat higher than the share who said this about the 2016 election that July (67%). Biden and Trump supporters are equally likely to see high stakes in the…

HEALDSBURG, CA – A U.S. Department of Labor investigation has found one of four restaurants owned by popular Sonoma County chef Octavio Diaz willfully denied three workers at its Healdsburg establishment of more than $35,000 in overtime wages.Investigators with the department’s Wage and Hour Division determined Diaz shortchanged three employees at Agave Mexican Restaurant and Bar by depriving them of overtime pay and paying them instead a flat salary regardless of how many hours they worked.
