Washington, DC, always puts on a show for the Fourth of July, but for the first time this year, President Donald Trump is personally planning and throwing together his own Independence Day event at the Lincoln Memorial.
All are welcome, but VIPs, including Republican donors, will get some special seating. There will be tanks — standing still, not rolling — and there will be fighter jets flying overhead. Trump’s show will be followed by the regular, PBS-broadcast annual concert in front of the Capitol, but the fireworks will be bigger than usual, unless it rains — which the forecast says it may.

President Donald Trump made a series of false claims on Monday and Tuesday while lashing out at New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Attorney General Letitia James on Twitter.
The focus of the President’s complaints in the six tweets was the state lawsuit against his non-profit, the Donald J. Trump Foundation, which was filed last year by James’s predecessor Barbara Underwood. But Trump also made inaccurate statements about former state attorney general Eric Schneiderman, about migration from New York state, and about the National Rifle Association.

Salt Spring Island is one of the Gulf Islands in the Strait of Georgia between mainland British Columbia, Canada and Vancouver Island. The island was initially inhabited by various Salishan peoples before being settled by pioneers in 1859, at which time it was officially called Admiral Island.

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) says President Donald Trump is a predator ― and that, as an ex-prosecutor, she’s the candidate to take him down in next year’s election.
Speaking in Iowa, the 2020 Democratic hopeful said:
“I took on successfully and I prosecuted the big banks when they preyed on homeowners. I prosecuted the pharmaceutical companies when they preyed on seniors. I have prosecuted transnational criminal organizations when they preyed on women and children. I know predators, and we have a predator living in the White House.”
Harris said Trump has a “predatory nature and predatory instincts” and that predators “prey on the vulnerable,” according to the Des Moines Register.

Why plants don’t die from cancer

Chernobyl has become a byword for catastrophe. The 1986 nuclear disaster, recently brought back into the public eye by the hugely popular TV show of the same name, caused thousands of cancers, turned a once populous area into a ghost city, and resulted in the setting up of an exclusion zone 2600km² in size.
But Chernobyl’s exclusion zone isn’t devoid of life. Wolves, boars and bears have returned to the lush forests surrounding the old nuclear plant. And when it comes to vegetation, all but the most vulnerable and exposed plant life never died in the first place, and even in the most radioactive areas of the zone, vegetation was recovering within three years.
Humans and other mammals and birds would have been killed many times over by the radiation that plants in the most contaminated areas received. So why is plant life so resilient to radiation and nuclear disaster?

The world just recorded its warmest June ever. A deadly heat wave has been baking much of Europe ― France experiencing its highest temperature on record last week, a blistering 45.9 degrees Celsius (or nearly 115 degrees Fahrenheit). Now, Alaska is enduring what for it is an ongoing heat wave.
In short, it’s hot. And scientists warn this is just a taste of what the climate crisis has in store for the Earth.
World Weather Attribution, an international organization of scientists conducting climate research, said the frequency and intensity of Europe’s heat waves have been exacerbated largely by humans.

The first wave of millennials is about to turn 40. Time for a financial checkup

For all the hype about the upcoming presidential election in 2020, there is something coming earlier that is much bigger, and its ramifications for the global economy will last for decades. What am I talking about? The first wave of millennials is about to turn 40.
That’s right. This super-caffeinated, highly educated generation is rapidly approaching — Wait for it! Sit down for it! Dare I say it? — middle age. The youngest of millennials, those born in 1980, are just completing college. Once we ring in 2020, the first millennials will reach four decades.
Much has been made of how different millennials are from previous generations. The reality is that many own houses and have kids and in many ways are as conventional as prior generations. Though it wasn’t easy. They’re still behind where Gen X was at this age, mainly due to coming of age during the Great Recession, an overload of student debt and the fact that many are struggling to save and generate wealth for later in life. Recent data from the Federal Reserve show that younger Americans are getting into more trouble with debt and the average American is struggling to make ends meet and build up emergency savings.

The 20 Best TV Dramas Since ‘The Sopranos’

“It’s good to be in something from the ground floor. I came too late for that, I know. But lately, I’m getting the feeling that I came in at the end.” —Tony Soprano
You’re wrong about that one, Tony. It may be that no TV show does anything entirely new — change always builds on change. But “The Sopranos” was as clear a marker of the beginning of an era (even if I hate the term “Golden Age”) as anything in TV.
Before “The Sopranos,” yes, TV dramas could take risks (“Twin Peaks”) and tell stories about difficult people (“NYPD Blue”). But after the ducks landed in Tony’s backyard pool in January 1999, an immense flock followed. TV series, we saw, could rely on audiences to pay close attention to a long-running story. They could have high visual and narrative ambitions. They could resist quick answers (or any answers, in the case of the Russian from “Pine Barrens”) and tidy moral conclusions.
