Ever wonder why anxiety, depression, and addiction so often show up together? Research suggests they may share common genetic roots, not just similar stressors.

In 2022 I had to borrow a skateboard for the Navajo Nation parade. This time I built my own at a skate shop in Tempe. The hard part is they just had to close their storefront because of tariffs. Small businesses like this shouldn't be paying the price for bad ideas in Washington.

RECORD OCEAN HEAT: On 21 August, global sea-surface temperatures hit their hottest day on record, fuelled by El Niño and the climate crisis. Big polluters must STOP heating and acidifying our living ocean for profit.

Areas of Major HeatRisk will expand into the Midwest Sunday through Tuesday with pockets of Extreme HeatRisk possible, particularly through the Mississippi Valley. This level of heat will affect anyone without adequate cooling or hydration. See how to stay safe at weather.gov/heat
NOAA graphic highlighting locations expected to experience record warm overnight low temperatures during a prolonged early summer heat event. Colored circles indicate timing of potential record warm minimum temperatures: red for Sunday morning, orange for Monday morning, and yellow for Tuesday morning. The greatest concentration of Sunday morning record warm lows stretches across the Southeast, including Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and parts of Tennessee, with additional locations across New Mexico, west Texas, and southern Kansas. Monday morning record warm lows expand across Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, Florida, and parts of the southern Plains. By Tuesday morning, scattered record warm lows continue across portions of the Midwest, lower Mississippi Valley, Florida, and central Plains. The map illustrates persistent overnight heat reducing cooling relief and increasing heat stress across affected regions.NOAA HeatRisk map for Sunday showing widespread dangerous heat across much of the central and eastern United States. Major heat risk (red) covers large portions of the central Plains, lower Mississippi Valley, Southeast, and parts of the Midwest, including areas from Kansas and Oklahoma eastward into Georgia and the Carolinas. Extreme heat risk (purple) is concentrated in parts of Florida and localized areas of New Mexico. Moderate risk (orange) extends broadly across the southern Plains, Midwest, Gulf Coast, and interior Southeast, while minor risk (yellow) reaches into the Great Lakes, Ohio Valley, and Mid-Atlantic. Conditions may be dangerous for anyone without effective cooling or hydration.NOAA HeatRisk forecast for Monday showing expanding and intensifying dangerous heat across the central and eastern U.S. A large swath of major heat risk (red) stretches from the central Plains and Midwest southward through the lower Mississippi Valley and Gulf Coast, covering states from Nebraska and Iowa to Louisiana, Alabama, and Georgia. Extreme heat risk (purple) develops in portions of Florida, New Mexico, and isolated pockets in the central Plains and Midwest. Moderate heat risk (orange) extends into the Great Lakes, Appalachians, Texas, and the Southeast, while minor risk (yellow) reaches farther north into the northern Plains and Northeast. Prolonged heat exposure increases health risks, especially without cooling relief.NOAA HeatRisk map for Tuesday showing the peak and broadest extent of dangerous heat across much of the eastern half of the country. Major heat risk (red) covers a vast area from the central Plains and Midwest through the Mississippi Valley, Southeast, Gulf Coast, and parts of the Mid-Atlantic. Multiple areas of extreme heat risk (purple) develop across the Mid-South, lower Mississippi Valley, central Plains, Midwest, and Florida, signaling dangerous conditions even for healthy individuals without adequate cooling. Moderate heat risk (orange) surrounds these regions and extends into Texas, the Appalachians, and East Coast, while minor risk (yellow) reaches into the northern Plains and Northeast. This represents widespread, prolonged heat stress with limited overnight relief.
