    Trump downplays firestorm over leaked Yemen air strike chat

    US President Donald Trump downplayed a growing scandal Tuesday after a journalist was accidentally added to a group chat about air strikes on Yemen, denying any classified information was shared and defending a top aide over the breach.

    Trump said he would “look into” the use of the Signal app, and put on a united front at a meeting with US National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, who inadvertently included The Atlantic magazine’s Jeffrey Goldberg in the conversation.

    ‘On a journey’: Family mourns Hossam Shabat, journalist killed by Israel | Israel-Palestine conflict

    Amal Shabat is delirious with pain.

    She is weeping, still unable to grasp that her 23-year-old son has been killed by Israel, exactly as he always said he would die – a “martyr” who sacrificed himself to make sure the world knew what was happening in Gaza.

    She tries the words haltingly: “My son is a martyr, Hossam… My son is a hero.”

    Hossam Shabat, Al Jazeera Mubasher journalist, was killed by Israel in a targeted strike on his vehicle on Monday.

    By Ramzy Baroud  

    There are several common misunderstandings about people’s history that need to be addressed. These misconceptions often stem from the way this form of research is applied, especially in newer contexts.

    My journey into the realm of people’s history began during my teenage years when I first read Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United…

    How Western media silence enables the killing of Palestinian journalists – Mondoweiss

    On March 24, 2025, we witnessed the deliberate killing of yet another Palestinian journalist. Hossam Shabat, a 24-year-old reporter for Al Jazeera Mubasher and contributor to Drop Site News, was assassinated in an Israeli airstrike targeting his vehicle in northern Gaza. Hours earlier, Mohammad Mansour, a correspondent for Palestine Today, was also killed in Khan Younis.

    These were not accidents. These were not casualties of “crossfire” or “clashes.” These were targeted…

  • Antibiotic exposure in infancy may boost Type 1 diabetes risk

    Antibiotic exposure in infancy may boost Type 1 diabetes risk

    Exposure to antibiotics during a key developmental window in infancy can stunt the growth of insulin-producing cells in the pancreas and may boost risk of diabetes later in life, new research in mice suggests.

    The study, published this month in the journal Science, also pinpoints specific microorganisms that may help those critical cells proliferate in early life.

    The findings are the latest to shine a light on the importance of the human infant microbiome — the constellation of bacteria…

    New software finds aging cells that contribute to disease and health risks

    For human health, prematurely aging cells are a big problem. When a cell ages and stops growing, its function changes, which can cause or worsen cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s disease and other chronic diseases. But these cells are also like needles in a haystack, difficult to identify by traditional scientific measures.

    To find these problematic cells, a University of Illinois Chicago doctoral student has developed a powerful new software platform called SenePy. In a paper for Nature…

  • How Zika virus knocks out our immune defenses

    How Zika virus knocks out our immune defenses

    Zika virus and dengue virus are very close relatives. Both are mosquito-borne flaviviruses, and both specialize in infecting a host’s dendritic cells.

    But a new Nature Communications study, led by scientists at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) and UC San Diego shows that these two viruses have vastly different ways of making us sick.

    Zika virus uses stealth. Zika virus slips into dendritic cells and blocks the dendritic cells from alerting nearby T cells to danger. It’s the classic…
