I’ve put off writing this for a couple of days, but we lost Rosalita Esperanza Beyoncé to cancer on Monday — 3 weeks after she was diagnosed. She came to us after being abused by someone who had adopted her and it took several years to dig out the sweet girl she truly was. We miss her terribly.

Inflation eating up worker pay. Household debt and student loan defaults at a record high. 8 million people have lost healthcare the past year. 5 million people have lost food stamps — including 2 million children. Trump says, "Pretend I'm on the ballot" ahead of the midterms. Please do.

In 2024, Trump campaigned on "ending inflation on Day One." Two years later, the affordability crisis is even worse than when he returned to office — thanks to his policies.

#NASAWebb peered into the Flame Nebula, locating the faint infrared signatures of several brown dwarfs, objects so small that their cores will never sustain nuclear fusion of hydrogen. The smallest among them is two to three times the mass of Jupiter: bit.ly/4iZyqC8 🔭

A collage of four images showing a dusty nebula. Two-thirds of the collage is taken up by a single image of the nebula, while the remaining third shows three insets stacked on top of each other. In the largest image at left, there is an orange and yellow fang-like cloud of matter that cuts this section in two. The top side of the fang shows more clouds of a dark brown shade, while the bottom shows filaments of light brown. There are a number of bright blue and red points of light spread throughout, three of which are circled in white and labeled with a number from one to three. Circle 1 is located at about 9 o’clock in the middle of the fang-like cloud, while Circle 2 is at about 2 o’clock and Circle 3 is located at about 4 o’clock, toward the bottom left. Each circle magnifies an individual object, which is shown in the three squares to the right, labeled 1 to 3 from top to bottom. Each image contains a single, fuzzy point of light in the middle.
