The man was charged with possession of a weapon of mass destruction
US’ Vice President Kamala Harris said she was “deeply disturbed” by the possible assassination attempt of former US President Donald Trump at his golf course in Florida on Sunday. Routh had written “you are free to assassinate Trump” in a book, which he self-published last year. Routh was apprehended after an agent spotted a rifle sticking out of a fence on the course.
The claims that the Haitian migrants are eating pets are false
Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance has said he stands by the claims he and former US President Donald Trump have spread claiming Haitian migrants were eating pets. “This is what Kamala Harris wants to do to every town in this country,” he added. “What’s happening in Springfield is coming…if Kamala Harris’ open border policies are allowed to continue,” Vance further said.

The election live updates includes a defense from Vance of the bogus claims made against Swift by Trump
US Senator JD Vance, who falsely claimed that Haitian migrants in Ohio were eating pets, said that his claims had come from “firsthand” accounts from his constituents. “It was not the cat meme that attacked our city,” he added. Vance’s claims have been debunked by city officials in Springfield and resemble smears that have been lodged against immigrants for decades.
NASA’s Starliner astronauts didn’t feel let down by Boeing
Astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, who were stranded in space for nearly a week due to technical issues with Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft, said that being stuck in space is “just part of the job”. The astronauts were supposed to return to Earth with Boeing’s Starliner, but they weren’t sent back. They made a smooth landing in New Mexico last week.
Weird signal that perplexed seismologists
Researchers claim to have traced a tsunami signal that lasted for 9 days back to a massive fjord in eastern Greenland, triggered by climate change. The signal was a’monochromatic’ event, similar to the ringing of a bell, they said. They added that the signal was caught between the parallel sides of the fjord and resonated for nine days.
Rapa Nui people did not destroy their island
A study of ancient genomes has dispelled the theory that early inhabitants of Rapa Nui, also known as Easter Island, ravaged its ecosystem and caused the population to crash. The study analysed the Rapanui peoples’ genetics and found no sign of a population problem that could indicate a collapse. “This study, done with the endorsement of and input from officials and Indigenous community members, SERVES as the final nail in the coffin,” researchers said.
Pacific island’s population is false, says ancient blood
A new species of parasitic wasps has been discovered in a fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, which is a model organism of the genus Leptophysidae. The new species was found in a fruit fly from Polynesia. The fruit fly is a common food source for many birds and mammals, the scientists said.
The population of a famous Pacific island is not real
A study by researchers in New Zealand has revealed that a group of Polynesians settled Rapa Nui around 1,200 years ago and had contact with Indigenous Americans. They also found that their DNA is “genetically different” compared to modern Polynesians. Their genomes suggest that Rapa Nui may have been isolated from other Polynesian landmasses as far back as 12 million years ago.
