A federal judge on July 13 found that President Donald Trump improperly used a $10 billion lawsuit he filed against the IRS to extract personal benefits from the government he oversees, preventing the terms of a settlement agreement from taking legal effect.Miami-based U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams excoriated Trump's personal lawyers and attorneys in his administration, concluding their interests were not opposed to each other as is legally required for civil lawsuits.

Cause of Gravity Hole Underneath Antarctica's Ice Sheet Gets Mapped Out in New Study
The story I’m bringing you today is one that you’ve probably never heard of before. Because, for one, it involves a continent that very few people have been on: Antarctica; and secondly, it involves a concept that very few people are familiar with: gravity holes. And right off the bat, I’ll mention that it’s not science fiction, nor is it a conspiracy theory. Gravity holes really do exist. The earth’s outer layers have different densities in different places (because the distribution of mass beneath the crust and the mantle isn’t consistent)—the effect of gravity is not perfectly uniform across the whole planet. It’s weaker in places that are less dense. In those places, you get what are known as gravity anomalies, where the gravitational pull is measurably weaker than the global average. Colloquially, these are known as gravity holes. These gravity holes can affect a person’s weight (you would weigh a little bit less if you were standing in one of these regions)—and also, they can affect sea levels (weaker gravity means that the ocean surface sits a little bit lower in those places). Interestingly, the largest gravity hole on the planet happens to be located beneath the most sparsely populated continent on the planet: Antarctica. Just earlier this year, a new study was published that worked to map out not only the mantle layer of the Earth beneath Antarctica, but also the 70-million-year-long process in which it was formed. Let’s go through it together.

Journals Retract Papers Cited by CDC in Its Updated Vaccine Guidelines; RFK Responds
Under Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s leadership at the Department of Health and Human Services, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention softened its longstanding position in November 2025, shifting from “vaccines do not cause autism” to stating the evidence isn’t strong enough to completely rule out a possible link, citing several older studies on aluminum adjuvants and vaccine timing.Months later, key studies used to justify that change were retracted by journals for methodological flaws, sparking backlash from Kennedy, who demanded greater transparency, while the CDC’s revised stance faced fresh scrutiny.Let's go through the details together.
