It’s now illegal to sell weight-loss and muscle-building supplements to minors in New York, under a first-in-the-nation law that went into effect this week. Experts say loose federal regulation of dietary supplements has resulted in these products sometimes including unapproved ingredients, like steroids and heavy metals, putting kids at risk. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration oversees the market, but it doesn’t test products before they’re sold. “The law that we crafted reflects the lack of regulation from the FDA and the lack of regulation in the industry,” said Jensen Jose, a regulatory counsel member with the Center for Science in the…
Washington, DC – Chants of “free Palestine” were interrupted by ululating and cheers as dozens of Georgetown University students arrived at a protest at the neighbouring George Washington University (GW) campus in the heart of the US capital city. Students, professors and activists from across the Washington, DC, area gathered on Thursday to show solidarity with Palestinians amid the war on Gaza and demand an end to what they call their colleges’ complicity in Israel’s human rights abuses. Students at GW had set up a protest encampment on campus, joining the pro-Palestinian demonstrations sweeping colleges across the country. “We’re here…
Screenshot: Andrew Surabian X Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) tore into the Senate’s approval of a $95 billion aid package to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan during a speech to the chamber earlier this week.

Idaho might be known for its potato chips, but the Biden administration is making a big bet on a different kind of Idaho chip. The White House announced on Thursday a $6.1 billion grant to Micron, a Boise-based semiconductor company, the most recent in a flurry of payouts it’s made to leading chip makers through the Chips Act. Two of the Chips Act’s biggest grants so far—to Korean tech company Samsung and Taiwanese manufacturer TSMC—have been incentives to get foreign companies to set up shop on U.S. soil. But backing Micron is an example of how the government is betting…

We have tested several other outdoor security cameras. These are the ones we like that just missed out on a place above. Arlo Essential Wireless Security Camera for $50: This is the most affordable way to try Arlo’s wares, and it’s a solid security camera. Setup is a breeze, the 1080p footage is clear, and the rich notifications are the best, but you need an Arlo Secure subscription ($8 per month for one camera, $13 for unlimited). Compared to our top pick, the Essential has a narrower field of view and lacks HDR, so it loses details in bright…
Years ago I discovered the skin health benefits of tallow. While these DIY tallow lotion bars were a favorite at our house, I wanted something with a softer consistency. The result is this nourishing whipped tallow balm, perfect for even sensitive skin. I love how it makes my skin feel so silky and soft.

Here’s why tallow balm is so great, how to use it, and how to make your own! The…
