The situation, which the White House is refusing to term a “crisis,” has become a dark cloud looming over the beginning of Biden’s term. The issue is drawing attention away from Biden’s efforts to refocus America’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, offering Republicans a potent attack line and opportunity to vindicate former President Donald Trump’s controversially tough border stance. A heated debate between MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan and Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) on Sunday summed up the divisive nature of the border in America’s political divide, now being magnified by a surge in new arrivals at the southern frontier....

Karlan used the president’s son, 13-year-old Barron Trump, as an example while explaining those limitations. She said that while President Trump could “name his son Barron,” he couldn’t “make him a Baron.” The remark received a negative response from multiple conservative figures, including the first lady and the White House’s press secretary. “A minor child deserves privacy and should be kept out of politics,” Melania Trump tweeted. “Pamela Karlan, you should be ashamed of your very angry and obviously biased public pandering, and using a child to do it....

Melatonin, in case you’ve missed the hoopla, is the all-natural nightcap. It’s secreted by the pineal gland, a pea-size structure at the center of the brain, as our eyes register the fall of darkness. Studies suggest that low-dose supplements can hasten sleep and ease jet lag, without the hazards or side effects of prescription sleeping pills (page 63). And though the evidence is still sketchy, some researchers believe that melatonin could help counter the ravages of age....

The findings do more than merely confirm what we (or at least our moms) already knew. They suggest that the link between sleep and the brain’s higher mental processes is far stronger than researchers previously suspected. Psychologists have long known that sleep enhances basic cognitive and motor skills, and they’ve shown that people tend to sleep longer after heavy mental workouts, like learning to program in Basic. Fenn’s study suggests that the sleeping brain plays an essential role in turning the rush of daily events into long-term memories–not mere facts and images but elaborate mental processes, like how to tie your shoelaces or prove Pythagoras’ theorem....
