Hundreds of the president’s supporters invaded the nation’s Capitol carrying Confederate flags and other racist symbols on Wednesday. Congress was in session to certify the election of President-elect Joe Biden, which Trump and his supporters had hoped to overturn. Although the certification process was delayed for several hours as the rioters were cleared, lawmakers returned and finished up the process in the early hours of Thursday morning. Trump administration officials have reportedly been discussing removing the president via the 25th Amendment because of his actions before and during Wednesday’s assault on the Capitol....
“It’s so crazy because it’s all amazing,” Guyton, 38, tells Newsweek about the belated attention. “But we’re still kind of stuck inside. You get on these highs and then it’s over and you’re like, ‘Okay, back into my cubby hole now.’ That’s why I’m able to keep such a chill approach to it because the pandemic has been so interesting. And I have a baby who kind of tops everything that I’ve done....

Microplastics, which are defined as being less than 5mm long, are commonly found in both freshwater and seawater thanks to the widespread occurrence of plastic pollution. Eleven million metric tons of plastic waste are estimated to enter the ocean every year. Larger chunks of plastic are mechanically broken down into microplastic particles. These microplastics then make their way into our food, tap water, bottled water, beer, and even the air we breathe....
On Feb. 1 Microsoft announced a bid to acquire Yahoo for $31 a share. In better times the unexpected, opportunistic pounce by the beast slouching from Redmond would have been expected to ignite a bidding frenzy. Sure, Yahoo had fallen on hard times as it struggled to compete with Google, and its stock had plummeted to the teens. But Microsoft did offer a 62 percent premium to the market price....
There were at least 50 reports of the twisters from late Friday and into Saturday morning across states including Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio and Tennessee, CNN reported Monday. The storms were part of an intense weather system that experts said was highly unusual to happen so late in the season. Search and rescue missions are still being conducted to determine if more people if there are more survivors; so far, at least 64 people have died in Kentucky....
It can be difficult to recognize these complex events, and experts are not completely clear on the best route of treatment. Strategies aimed at reducing migraine frequency and severity may prevent migraine-induced seizures from occurring. Symptoms The symptoms of a migraine-triggered seizure can begin with an aura, which is a migraine-associated neurological deficit. An aura can involve any of a number of neurological symptoms, including visual changes, weakness of one side of the face or body, sensory changes, and difficulty speaking....
Descriptions of migraine with brainstem aura date back to ancient Greece, although it wasn’t until 1961 that a British neurologist, Edwin R. Bickerstaff, identified the condition and suggested it was caused by some sort of problem with the basilar artery that supplies the brainstem with blood. This theory has since been debunked. However, scientists still aren’t totally clear about what causes migraine with brainstem aura. Fortunately, this type of migraine is relatively rare....
In an interview with the Chicago Sun-Times, the former Bears coach showed sympathy for everything that has taken place in Ferguson, but doesn’t understand what the players’ gesture accomplished. MORE: Stephen Colbert comments on Rams’ gesture | Rams’ exec apologizes | Police not happy Ditka’s response is not uncommon. Not everyone has agreed with the players’ decision to make the gesture.

Even better is Smart's response to them. "I've probably built up a little reputation, and I'm not questioning that," Smart told ESPN.com's Jeff Goodman. "But I'm not the only one flopping. Every team and every player does it to make sure you get the call." If the flops infuriate you, do know that Smart is expected to be headed to the NBA at season's end, and the "league" fines people for flops....
The alleged hacker proceeded to post at least 54 tweets before Carey’s timeline was expunged, ranging from insults such as “Eminem has a little penis” and “Eminem can hold my p*ssy”—references to Carey’s longstanding beef with rapper Eminem, with whom she may or may not have had a brief assignation before marrying Nick Cannon—to promos for the Chuckling Squad’s Discord server and shout-outs to various friends and associates of the hackers....
However, a recent study of social media engagement found that the 10 most popular online articles about the audit have come from right-wing media outlets. Many of the right-wing outlets have also repeated the baseless claim that election fraud kept Republican former President Donald Trump from rightfully winning. County auditors finished tallying more than 1.2 million of the county’s 2.1 million ballots on Tuesday, Senate officials said according to The Washington Post....
The federal lawmaker, who began her first term representing Illinois’ third congressional district in January, criticized the video’s removal for supposed “hate speech” in a screenshot shared to Twitter. In addition to noting that an expression of support for transgender people clearly should not violate any content guidelines, especially those against hateful rhetoric, Newman pointed to what at first seemed like a strange and hypocritical double standard. A video that Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, Congress’ controversial Georgia newcomer, posted to her own Facebook page around the same time remained unrestricted while Newman’s video was unavailable to view....
This is encouraging news. Our country is struggling to navigate two major public health crises. First and foremost is the COVID-19 pandemic, which lawmakers are rightly focused on. But we are also in the midst of a devastating mental health and addiction crisis. The data coming out of states cannot be ignored. For example, West Virginia just reported that overdose deaths increased more than 40 percent in the last year....
In a study conducted in mice and published in Neuron, researchers looked at the molecule 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG). This molecule is involved in a connection between the amygdala and frontal cortex. These parts of the brain are responsible for regulating emotions, memory and empathy, among other things. Normally, 2-AG maintains a break in a connection between the two regions. However, the break appears to disappear in moments of stress, allowing the two parts of the brain to “glue” together, say researchers....
