Democratic New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani: "Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed. Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us-- one of home, tradition and memory over generations." read more
"The strings just fell out," says Clifford Cheung, professor of theoretical physics and director of the Leinweber Forum for Theoretical Physics at Caltech. "We didn't start with any assumptions about strings at all, but then the solution contained the cornerstone signatures of strings." Though the work does not amount to experimental evidence for string theory, it is "very suggestive from the theoretical viewpoint, since the general assumptions could have yielded infinite solutions, but they yielded only one," Cheung says. read more
New York Times: Settler violence has grown commonplace in the West Bank in recent years, part of a campaign of harassment, abuse and forced displacement. Since Israel captured the West Bank in the 1967 Middle East war, more than 700,000 Israelis have settled in the West Bank among more than three million Palestinians. read more
Being a healthy eater after 50 means two things: boosting intake of good-for-you foods like berries, leafy greens, whole grains and lean proteins; and cutting out the foods that clog your arteries, raise your blood pressure and risk of diabetes, affect your cognition and expand your waistline. ... And when possible, just say no -- or at least "whoa!" -- to these 25 foods.

The US Navy plans to buy at least 15 new nuclear-powered battleships endorsed by Donald Trump at $14.5 billion apiece minimum over the next 30 years, making one of them even costlier than the $13 billion USS Gerald Ford aircraft carrier, the most expensive US warship afloat today. read more
Shawn Patrick Connelly: [President] Obama was certainly not perfect. He was not Jesus. But he was a serious, decent, intellectually honest man who served the country with evident integrity and was rewarded, in a significant corner of American Christianity, with eight years of contempt from people who never asked whether their contempt was really about what they said it was about. I was one of those people.

Rick Wilson: Why don't the MAGA hardcores understand how well and truly Trump is screwing them? Gas is $4.55 a gallon. Foreclosure filings are at a six-year high. Trump's approval is mired in the low 30s. He hasn't ended a war; he's threatening two more. The grocery bill that was supposed to crater on Day One has done the opposite.
