Spencer Pratt mounted an insurgent mayoral campaign against incumbent Mayor Karen Bass and socialist Democrat pal Nithya Raman, narrowly losing to the far-left DSA member. Previously known mostly as a reality television personality, Pratt rallied the forgotten masses of Los Angeles, the moms living in fear of rising crime, coming so close to making the general election that he sent shock waves across the left-wing establishment. But while Pratt may be out of the race to become Los Angeles mayor, he’s not giving up on politics. Spencer Pratt said he feels “energized” following the Los Angeles mayoral election.

Credit: UN Photo/Eskinder Debebeby Thalif Deen (united nations)Monday, June 22, 2026Inter Press Service UNITED NATIONS, June 22 (IPS) – When Egypt’s onetime Foreign Minister Boutros Boutros-Ghali was running for the post of U.N. Secretary-General in late 1991, he had to contend with the rival candidature of Bernard Chidzero, then foreign minister of Zimbabwe. As the campaign began to intensify, Boutros-Ghali recounted a brief encounter with Chidzero, a longstanding friend, at a conference in Africa, a continent which at that time claimed the job of…
For years, scientists believed Tyrannosaurus rex reached its adult size at around age 25. But a major new study suggests the iconic predator may have taken much longer to mature. According to the research, T. rex likely continued growing for about 40 years before reaching its maximum size of roughly eight tons. The findings come from an analysis of 17 tyrannosaur fossils spanning a wide range of ages, from young juveniles to massive adults. Researchers say the work provides the most detailed reconstruction yet of how Tyrannosaurus grew throughout its life. The study was published in the journal PeerJ. Reading…
Senate stepping in to regulate college sports The Senate is actively preparing to debate a bipartisan bill that could significantly alter the landscape of intercollegiate sports. Lawmakers aim to create national standards for Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) money and curb roster chaos from transfers.

The initiative comes “at a time when securing the sustainability of news media is more urgent than ever to protect the future of journalism and safeguard information integrity,” the agency said. The text under consultation outlines disruptions to the media landscape, including decreased funding for public-interest journalism, the contraction or closure of local and community news organisations, and other challenges that indicate “a fundamental and ongoing change in the structure of the information economy.” Few players, wide influence “A small number of large, multinational digital platforms and AI actors now occupy a central intermediary role between media and the public,…
As the brain develops, newly formed neurons must travel through tightly packed tissue to reach their final destinations in the cerebral cortex, where they become part of the brain’s communication network. This journey forces the cells through narrow gaps between fibers and neighboring cells. A new study published in Nature has revealed an unexpected consequence of that process. Researchers from Kyoto University’s Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (WPI-iCeMS) and collaborating institutions found that migrating neurons routinely experience significant DNA damage. Specifically, the cells develop double-strand breaks, a severe form of DNA damage in which both strands of the DNA double…
President Trump on Sunday threatened Iran with fresh attacks if it did not restrain Hezbollah in Lebanon or keep the Strait of Hormuz open, as Vice President J.D.

Scientists at Baylor College of Medicine have identified a potential new approach for tackling Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. Both conditions are associated with the buildup of harmful clumps formed by the proteins Tau and alpha synuclein in the brain. In a study published in Nature Communications, the researchers found that tubulin, a protein that serves as the building block of microtubules, may help prevent these toxic accumulations. Microtubules act as the cell’s internal ‘railway tracks,’ helping transport materials and maintain structure. According to the findings, tubulin can keep Tau and alpha synuclein from forming damaging aggregates and instead encourage them…
