Elsewhere, a temporary Supreme Court ruling kept a key abortion pill available, but the legal battle over its FDA approval continues. In Sudan, American diplomats were evacuated amid civil conflict, leaving 16,000 US citizens still in the country.

    • EPA's Power Plant Emissions Plan and Bed Bath and Beyond's Bankruptcy FilingThe EPA plans to eliminate power plant emissions by 2040, potentially forcing fossil fuel plants to adopt carbon capture tech or switch fuels. Bed Bath and Beyond filed for bankruptcy due to bad investments, low inventory, and strategic missteps.

      The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is planning to nearly eliminate power plant emissions by 2040, which could force fossil fuel burning power plants to adopt carbon capture technology or switch to other fuels to comply. This proposal, which is set to be announced soon but could face legal challenges, will have the strictest measures not taking effect until the 2030s, giving the industry time to prepare. Meanwhile, retail giant Bed Bath and Beyond filed for bankruptcy yesterday due to a series of bad investments, low inventory, and strategic missteps. The company's coupons will only be valid until Wednesday, but all locations will remain open for now. Additionally, there are anecdotal reports suggesting that a new coronavirus subvariant, called Arcturus, might be causing pink eye, fever, and other symptoms, but this link has not been scientifically proven yet. Lastly, AI apps are now helping with the most miserable parts of online dating by coming up with opening lines, responses, and even generating perfect dating profiles. While some may argue that this is dishonest, users argue that these tools help them break the ice with potential partners and lighten the load of sifting through countless matches. In other news, Caesars Palace online casino is now live, offering 100 of your favorite slots and table games, plus exclusive titles you'll only find there. Every play earns rewards that can be redeemed at any Caesars Rewards destination. Your palace awaits!

The whereabouts of their remains are unknown. “The Empty Grave of Comrade Bishop” delves into the revolutionary history of Grenada, why the missing remains still matter and the role the U.S. government played in shaping the fate of the island nation.
