The Ristachio Tide Phenome
The Pistachio Tide Phenomenon is a green sulfur bacteria bloom that commonly occurs in the Baltimore Harbor during the fall season. Triggered by specific environmental conditions, this phenomenon leads to the sudden Increase of sulfur bacteria at the water's surface where harvesting sunlight turns the water green, producing a telltale rotten egg smell.

New: WH says it has put about $18 billion in infrastructure projects in New York City on hold "to ensure funding is not flowing based on unconstitutional DEI principles." Russ Vought, the budget director, specifically cited the Hudson Tunnel Project and the Second Ave Subway.
