Ellis, R. (2024, May 10). Cows are potential spreaders of bird flu to humans. WebMD. https://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/food-poisoning/news/20240510/cows-are-potential-spreaders-bird-flu-humans
-- Cow udders have the same receptors for flu viruses as humans and birds, raising concerns that cows could become “mixing vessels” that help the bird flu virus spread between people.

Bannon was sentenced to four months in federal prison, and that sentence was also upheld Friday by the appeals court. The ruling could pave the way for Bannon to eventually report to prison, though the timing is unclear.

The assembly adopted a resolution with 143 votes in favor and nine against - including the U.S. and Israel - while 25 countries abstained. It does not give the Palestinians full U.N. membership, but simply recognizes them as qualified to join.

The Darker Side of Stormy Daniels’s Testimony. (2024, May 7). The New York Times - OPINION. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/07/opinion/stormy-daniels-trump-trial.html
She kept in contact with him after, she said — even going to another hotel room with him another time — because she wanted to expand her career, and he was dangling an opportunity to appear on “The Apprentice.”
And yet at times, the words Daniels used to describe the encounter with Trump were reminiscent of so many of the other stories of women who have come forward to accuse him of sexual assault: She said she “blacked out,” then lay naked, staring up at the ceiling. She “felt like the room spun in slow motion,” and that the blood left her hands and feet. When it was over, she said, she fumbled with her shoes — gold strappy heels she had trouble fastening because her hands were shaking so hard.
Ultimately she blamed herself: “I just thought, ‘Oh my God, what did I misread to get here?’”

Whether any of Trump’s other cases will head to trial before Election Day is unclear — and after Cannon’s latest ruling, increasingly unlikely.

Stop making excuses, Kristi Noem. That dog won’t hunt. The South Dakota governor is trying to justify her killing of a 14-month-old dog. No one’s buying it. (2024, April 29). The Daily Beast. https://www.thedailybeast.com/kristi-noem-stop-making-excuses-about-killing-cricket
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem wants it known: It wasn’t easy for her to kill her 14-month-old wirehaired pointer, Cricket, for aggressive behavior.“But often the easy way isn't the right way,” the Republican wrote*
The RIGHT should use this testimonial
What’s clear to anyone who has ever loved a dog is that Noem failed to do the actual hard thing—training Cricket instead of dragging her to a gravel pit and shooting her dead. And if you can’t do the truly hard thing, you shouldn’t be in the governor’s office
