According to a study that followed more than 280K people in Wales, older adults who received a vaccine against *shingles* were 20% less likely to develop dementia in the seven years that followed vaccination than those who did not receive the vaccine.

Dementia has long resisted treatment. But one answer could be surprisingly simple.

The NWS has always been a model of how to be a government weather agency. I hate to think what might happen to our capacity to forecast and respond to hazardous weather events this spring and summer.
National Weather Service employees were encouraged to take early retirements at an all-hands meeting Thursday. The union believes as many as 1,000 could leave in the coming months - out of a workforce of just over 4,000.

The new general counsel for OPM—the office issuing all those deranged memos—is Andrew Kloster, a self-described “raging misogynist” with a public history of racist comments and a temporary restraining order for domestic violence who most recently worked for Matt Gaetz.

Texas Legislature should choose energy freedom and abundance, but will they?
Texas became an energy powerhouse not by relying on government-imposed restrictions but through innovation and free-market competition.
