Incredibly backslid.

This is Gigi. She was just adopted and is on her way home to the good life. Thinks she could get used to this lifestyle. 13/10

Today in 1973, the greatest horse race in history was run.

Secretariat won the Belmont Stakes by 31 lengths to become the Triple Crown winner and set a world record time that has never been beaten!

A celestial meet-cute! 🥰

Have you seen Jupiter & Venus shining in the west after sunset? On June 9th, they'll be very close together in a planetary conjunction—when two planets appear near each other in the sky (even though they're still millions of miles apart in space).

Interior be like “I know a spot,” and then take you somewhere that looks like another planet.

Moonscape Overlook in Utah is the kind of place that reminds you just how wild, vast, and beautiful America’s public lands really are.

This is Edward. He was given 6 months to live after being found as a stray. His family was determined to give him the best few months possible, so they introduced him to the ice cream truck. That was 27 months ago. 14/10 #SeniorPupSaturday

This is Cooper. He didn't realize anyone was home. Loves singing a cappella. Just not in front of an audience. 14/10

This is Nacho. He has big feelings. Every stuffed animal he owns is very aware of this. 14/10

This is Daisy. She just learned about the tooth fairy. Wanted to make sure they knew that she has teeth. Just in case. 12/10

As the Trump DOJ mass-deletes government information about the Jan. 6 cases, reminder that you can still access NPR's database covering every single prosecution.

We also provide access to hundreds of videos presented in court.

NYT out with a jaw dropping investigative report on the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. 60 Minutes reported last Sunday on some of this, too. The NYT report is a must-read, the 60 Minutes report should then be watched. 1/3

Here's to Stephen Colbert, a man of great integrity and wit. Onward, friend, to bigger and better things.

Locals didn’t think Roundup was being sprayed near Lake Tahoe. So @natethecurious went to find out.

Nate dug up maps from the Forest Service's website, and headed to a spot where one of them indicated spraying might already be happening.

Public uproar has echoed across the Tahoe area since April, when our yearlong Mother Jones investigation revealed that, in California, the fastest-growing use of glyphosate—the main ingredient in Roundup—is to spray forested areas, including this massive new project around Lake Tahoe.

As the public outcry grew over the past few weeks, news begin circulating on social media that the Forest Service was backing off. “They cancelled the plan!" one person wrote. "People showed up to meetings, called our representatives and it’s finally cancelled. OUR VOICES MATTERED ON THIS ONE.”

But that wasn't true. At Sierra-at-Tahoe, Nate stood on a mountainside that clearly had been doused in glyphosate. The plants around him were nearly all dead—killed with the controversial herbicide, which the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer has deemed a probable human carcinogen—and that a 2020 report from the US Environmental Protection Agency said likely harms 93 percent of endangered species.

A rare sight greeted archaeologists excavating a gravesite in the southern Bavarian town of Nördlingen: a 3,000-year-old sword that barely shows its age. #CoolSwordDay https://t.co/qJPs6NhVbA
