Warnings of language as a weapon of manipulation, obfuscation and oppression run through George Orwell’s work. It is a reason you could be excused for hearing real-life echoes of scenes from “1984” emanating from Washington, Matthew Purdy writes.

Ukraine will need major rebuilding when war ends − here’s why the US isn’t likely to invest in its recovery with a new Marshall Plan

It’s rare, but in some cases a bite from a lone star tick can cause a person to develop an allergy to red meat.
Two case reports published this week, however, suggest that two other ticks, found elsewhere in the country, may also trigger the allergy.
