This news makes me so sad. I was a #production #editor at Simon & Schuster from 1987 through 1991, and back then, we used our brains.

The death penalty must end. Everywhere. More than two-thirds of countries have abolished it in law or in practice. Yet the death penalty is still retained and used in parts of the world. In 2025, 17 countries are known to have carried out executions.

After his university cutbacks, Trump announces $100 million for STEM researchers

Trump Makes $100 Million Push to Train American Scientists

By Liam Knox
October 7, 2026 at 7:00 PM UTC

The Trump administration is injecting more than $100 million into education programs for American researchers in STEM fields, as federal policies stanch the flow of foreign scientists to the US and policymakers focus on an AI arms race with China.
The initiative, which President Donald Trump is set to announce at a White House summit on Thursday, aims to increase the number of highly trained scientific researchers who are American citizens through fellowships for PhD programs in science and engineering disciplines, according to a White House official.
