“Once we figured it out, the sky is the limit. It has given us options for patients who just a few years ago were facing no good outcomes,” Ochoa said. “One success has led to another.”

The wealth share of the world’s richest people increased “from 42.5 percent at the height of the 2008 financial crisis to 50.1 percent in 2017,” The Guardian reported, adding that “the biggest losers … are young people who should not expect to become as rich as their parents.”

In a February 2 statement, Jeffrey Shuren, director of the FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health, wrote that despite the NTP study’s results, the combined evidence on RF exposure and human cancer—which by now amounts to hundreds of studies—has “given us confidence that the current safety limits for cell phone radiation remain acceptable for protecting the public health.” Chonock says that for him, evidence from the Ramazzini study does not alter that conclusion. “We continue to agree with the FDA statement,” he says.

This spring marked a decade since Al Copeland Sr. died at age 64, just months after telling his family he had a rare form of cancer called Merkel cell carcinoma.

On April 11, 2009, four days after his report was released, Johnson was at home in West Virginia when a PDF of the document was posted on the website of the syndicated conservative radio host Roger Hedgecock. A link to the PDF was also posted on a blog maintained by the Oath Keepers, the antigovernment group composed of numerous law-enforcement officials. “FORWARD THIS TO EVERY AMERICAN!” read the post, which Johnson suspected had been written by a member of the law-enforcement community. “YOU are now a dangerous terrorist according to the Obama administration.”

Papesch added that, though some passengers were frustrated with the delay, most had a sense of humor about the situation. 

The story of Irving’s aunt, Kelly Brinkley, underscores just how unusual Irving’s family situation is. Brinkley learned her late sister left two children more than a decade ago. She never knew her sister and didn’t know she had children until some paperwork arrived from the tribe informing her. When she looked at the names, she was struck that in 1992 her sister had a child and named him Kyrie. Four months earlier that year, Brinkley had a daughter and named her … Kyrie.

“What we’re seeing now is of a different magnitude,” she said. “As we move away from a collectivist society, support systems break down. Because of globalisation, people are living far away from their families, and then social media is also coming in the way of actual human interaction.”

What Project Censored calls attention to is important: “Corporate media coverage of Russiagate has created a two-headed monster of propaganda and censorship. By saturating news coverage with a sensationalized narrative, Russiagate has superseded other important, newsworthy stories.”

These statistics belie the strident rhetoric around “foreign-born” terrorists that the Trump administration has used to drive its anti-immigration agenda. They also raise questions about the United States’ counterterrorism strategy, which for nearly two decades has been focused almost exclusively on American and foreign-born jihadists, overshadowing right-wing extremism as a legitimate national-security threat. According to a recent report by the nonpartisan Stimson Center, between 2002 and 2017, the United States spent $2.8 trillion — 15 percent of discretionary spending — on counterterrorism. Terrorist attacks by Muslim extremists killed 100 people in the United States during that time. Between 2008 and 2017, domestic extremists killed 387 in the United States, according to the 2018 Anti-Defamation League report.

Congressional leaders failed to listen to citizens’ concerns, Ruiz wrote, with devastating consequences. “Because of this failure, U.S. and foreign police will have new mechanisms to seize data across the globe. Because of this failure, your private emails, your online chats, your Facebook, Google, Flickr photos, your Snapchat videos, your private lives online, your moments shared digitally between only those you trust, will be open to foreign law enforcement without a warrant and with few restrictions on using and sharing your information, privacy and human rights,” concluded Greene Robyn Greene, who reported for Just Security.
