President Donald Trump and the Republican Party have spent the better part of the president’s second term radically reshaping the federal government. But in recent weeks, the GOP has set its sights on taking another run at an old target: the US census.Since the first Trump administration, the right has sought to add a question to the census that captures a respondent’s immigration status and to exclude noncitizens from the tallies that determine how seats in Congress are distributed. In 2019, the Supreme Court struck down an attempt by the first Trump administration to add a citizenship question to the…

The S50 Pro mini will keep the exact same display size its predecessor has – 6.31″. On the other hand, the S50’s screen will shrink to 6.59″ from the S30’s 6.67″. Both of…

A fatal genetic incompatibility between Neanderthals and modern humans may have hastened the extinction of our ancient cousins, new research suggests.Researchers found that different versions of a gene tied to red blood cell function may have caused Neanderthal-human hybrid women to miscarry their fetuses.When Neanderthals and early modern humans met in Eurasia around 45,000 years ago, “they exchanged genes — and may also have passed on hidden reproductive risks that shaped the fate of both lineages,” Patrick Eppenberger, co-head of the Evolutionary Pathophysiology and Mummy Studies Group at the Institute of Evolutionary Medicine in Zurich, and colleagues wrote in a…
The USS Gerald R. Ford, the US Navy’s most advanced aircraft carrier, is heading to the Caribbean Sea as part of a Pentagon strategy it says is meant to strengthen the fight against drug trafficking in South America.The news was confirmed late last week by Sean Parnell, assistant secretary of defense for public affairs, through his social networks. In his message, he explained that the deployment of the Gerald R. Ford “will strengthen the United States’ ability to detect, monitor and dismantle illicit actors and activities that compromise the security and prosperity of US territory, as well as our stability…

iQOO unveiled the iQOO 15 in China last week, and today, the company announced that the iQOO 15 will be launched in India on November 26. The smartphone will likely be sold through iQOO’s Indian website and Amazon.in in India, but its pricing and sale date are yet to be officially revealed. The Indian model of last year’s iQOO 13 came with a smaller battery (6,000 mAh vs. 6,150 mAh), and it’s unclear if there will be any differences in specs between the iQOO 15’s Indian and global/Chinese versions. However, the two features we know will remain the same across…
Last time that the Department of Homeland Security used a video game property to try and recruit people to ICE, it was with a Pokémon video in which they said they were going to “catch” undocumented people while the original anime’s theme song played over footage of ICE agents invading homes and arresting people. The Pokémon Company didn’t do anything about it, so I guess whoever’s on the DHS’ social accounts is feeling brave enough to keep using video game imagery to try and promote ICE and recruit people to its cause, because it’s now using Halo imagery and language…
