Multiple oil spills are visible from space after Iranian and US-Israeli strikes hit oil facilities and ships in the region, with experts warning of an impending environmental catastrophe. cnn.it/4cnqK9c

@SpeakerJohnson It's a crappy bill.

DON’T FORGET: Democrats have kept the Department of Homeland Security shut down for over TWO MONTHS because they'd rather REOPEN THE BORDER than pay the hardworking men and women of our law enforcement.   It's called common sense vs. crazy — and Democrats' DANGEROUS DHS shutdown is yet another example of their preference for CRIMINAL ILLEGAL ALIENS over the safety and security of American citizens.

Meet Himdam—“traveler” in the O’odham language, named by Tohono O’odham youth. This ocelot has roamed hundreds of miles across Arizona’s Sky Islands since 2024—the longest recorded movement of its kind. We were lucky enough to get him on camera:

@NewsHour Because of them and Marsha Blackburn, pain patients were forced off this safe, effective drug, often cold turkey, and forced into pain clinics, suicide, or the streets.

A judge is expected to sentence OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma to forfeit $225 million to the Justice Department on Tuesday, clearing the way for the company to finalize a settlement of thousands of lawsuits it faces over its role in the opioid crisis. to.pbs.org/4sQWHvA

What was the moment our politics started to go off the rails?

@DHSgov @CBP You lack all credibility, and we don't believe anything that comes out of this administration.

MASSIVE DRUG BUST. @CBP officers in El Paso intercepted nearly 100 POUNDS of cocaine worth more than $1.1 MILLION. Thank you to these officers for preventing these drugs from entering our communities and killing Americans.

@mojorizn1 "Woke" is only used by people who are unable to spell "enlightened."

You’re running for political office in Alabama and you’re gonna “end the woke agenda.” What woke agenda? In Alabama? Ain’t no woke agenda in Alabama. How dumb do politicians think we are?

@FoxNews I'd like to know why security allowed him on the structure.

One tourist is dead as new evidence reveals the CHILLING connections between a deadly shooting at a Mexican landmark and the Columbine massacre. Investigators say gunman Julio César Jasso Ramírez had materials tied to the 1999 school attack in his backpack while he carried out his own assault on the anniversary of the infamous shooting. Ramírez opened fire from a historic Mexican pyramid, killing a Canadian tourist and injuring at least 13 others before taking his own life. Officials say he acted alone but had studied the site in advance.

@DawnHulot Sedation dentistry! It's awesome and worth the extra expense!

Tomorrow I see dental specialists. After radiation destroyed my teeth and gums, I'm terrified when I have dental work done. Root canals are difficult bc my roots are all calcified and I can't have teeth pulled bc it leads to jaw necrosis. Prayers deeply appreciated.💜

When our Swift satellite spotted a gamma-ray burst on December 25, 2010, astronomers were split on its cause. Was it from a novel type of supernova explosion located billions of light-years away or an unusual collision much closer to home, within our own galaxy? #LookAlikeDay

Exciting news in the world of rare Sky Island kitties. Recently, SIA and Phoenix Zoo published a study describing the remarkable journey of a male ocelot across four mountain ranges in the Sky Islands of Arizona, the longest-known trek by the species: ow.ly/Zyae50YJ6lo

@kerrymb20 @tylerblack32 I bet if he had any of the injuries he mentions, he'd be screaming for opiates.

@tylerblack32 As a pharmacology researcher, he has got to understand the difference between opioids and nsaids. They are not the same chemically/physiologically/clinically. Perhaps he has never had severe pain.

Strong disagree. Opioids remain absolutely necessary for severe trauma, late-stage cancer, or major post-surgical pain because they lack an "analgesic ceiling" (meaning the dose can be continually increased). NSAIDs ARE good enough for standard injuries, however.

@tylerblack32 This statement is absolute nonsense, and it's difficult for me to believe this person is a physician and not a PhD.

For musculoskeletal sprains, muscle strains, simple bone fractures, minor burns, lacerations, and routine postoperative pain, yes NSAIDS are sufficient in most cases.

A man with a gun opened fire Monday at the historic Teotihuacán pyramids, killing one Canadian tourist and injuring six other people at the tourist site an hour north of Mexico's capital, the Mexican government said. to.pbs.org/3OrlSqp

Few patients appeal a health insurance denial, but a little-known process that requires insurers and plans to seek an independent opinion can force insurers to pay for what can be lifesaving treatment. Here’s what experts say you need to know. propublica.org/article/health…

@FloofyMom Am so sorry.

My beautiful Georgia went over the rainbow bridge today. 🌈😢#Hedgewatch #rainbowbridge #sad

@inqdragon2 Worry doesn't help anything.

My last question of the day: What’s something you’ve stopped worrying about?
