Reporter Nate Halverson took to the sky to get an aerial view of forestlands sprayed with the world's most controversial herbicide, glyphosate.

The imagery from above was startling, as the extent of the barren land sprayed with glyphosate became apparent.
The practice of spraying glyphosate—AKA Roundup—in the woods is now the fastest-growing market for the world's most widely used herbicide, according to 5 million state records analyzed by Mother Jones.

An April investigation by Halverson that revealed the extent of the spraying has sparked a national debate over the practice and elicited pointed questions from members of Congress overseeing the Forest Service, leading some to call for an end to spraying in sensitive forestlands.

The World Health Organization has called glyphosate a probable carcinogen, and the EPA has said it likely harms 93 percent of endangered species and is especially detrimental in areas like forests.
The manufacturer Bayer says it is safe when used as directed.
The United States Forest Service and timber companies say they use the controversial herbicide to reforest land that has burned in wildfires or been harvested by loggers. These foresters believe that by killing all other plant life, they help trees regrow faster by reducing competition for sunlight, water and soil nutrients.

Record amounts of it have now been sprayed across the forest, according to state pesticide reports. In Lassen National Forest, the federal government plans to spray about 10,000 acres with the herbicide. Halverson flew over the area to see both the land planned for spraying and the private timberland where extensive spraying has already taken place within and surrounding the national forest.
Sierra Pacific Industries, a timber company, is the second-largest user of glyphosate in California, according to state records analyzed by Mother Jones.

The ringtone was loud and filled the concert Hall and a pianist decided to improvise around it.

The pianist had two choices: 1- choose to get angry or 2- choose to be flexible in this situation.

Always choose option 2.

THE 2,000 KM WALK TO ROME PEOPLE STILL DO TODAY

More than 1,000 years ago, Rome was not simply a city people wanted to visit.

It was the centre of the Catholic world. It was where the Pope lived, where pilgrims came to pray at the tombs of St Peter and St Paul, and where bishops travelled to receive the authority of their office.

In 990, Sigeric, the Archbishop of Canterbury, had to make that journey.

He travelled from England to Rome to receive the pallium from Pope John XV: a narrow band of wool that confirmed his authority as Archbishop of Canterbury.

But receiving it was only the middle of the story.

Then he had to get home.

The route north was not one road built from England to Rome. It was a chain of old Roman roads, local tracks, river crossings, mountain passes, monasteries and towns that had been used by pilgrims, merchants, clergy and travellers for centuries.

Leaving Rome, Sigeric’s journey passed through Lazio and Tuscany, over the Apennines, across the Po Valley, through the Alps at the Great St Bernard Pass, then across what are now Switzerland and France before returning to England.

On the way home, he recorded 79 stopping places.

Not famous landmarks. Not places chosen for beauty. They were the practical points that made crossing Europe possible: somewhere to sleep, eat, pray, cross a river, find protection, or prepare for the mountains ahead.

That record survived.

And more than a thousand years later, it became the backbone of the Via Francigena: the roughly 2,000 km route between Canterbury and Rome.

Modern walkers do not follow every metre of Sigeric’s journey. Roads have disappeared, cities have expanded and safer paths have replaced dangerous sections.

But the geography has not changed.

You can still leave Canterbury, cross the Channel, walk through France and Switzerland, climb into the Alps, enter Italy and keep going until Rome appears in front of you.

The journey that once connected an Archbishop to the Pope is still one of the longest walks across Europe.

President Trump’s motorcade was escorted by horseback riders dressed as “Rough Riders” during his visit to Medora, North Dakota, on Wednesday for the opening of the newly built Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library.

"Rough Riders” was the nickname given to the military unit Roosevelt led during the Spanish-American War in 1898.

[Catalan News @catalannews]

One of the most important relationships Antoni Gaudí cultivated throughout his career was with businessman Eusebi Güell.

Güell gave the architect countless opportunities to showcase his creativity and technical skill, commissioning several of the projects that would define Gaudí's career.

The first commission came in 1883 when Güell hired Gaudí to design the boundary walls, gates and stables for his estate, known as Finca Güell.

Construction began in 1884, and the famous dragon gate was completed in 1887.

A few years after that commission, Güell commissioned Gaudí to build a family residence in Barcelona's Raval neighborhood.

Construction of the Palau Güell began in 1885 and was completed in 1890. The mansion became Gaudí's first major architectural achievement commissioned by Güell.

During the Spanish Civil War, the palace was seized by the Catalan government and used as police barracks. Today, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Pressed on a financial disclosure showing he made at least $1.4 billion off crypto in 2025, Trump lied by saying "I don't get involved" (he's personally promoted his crypto businesses), then dismissed a follow up about how he's profiting off the presidency, saying "everybody is profiting."

Here's the full exchange:
