Less than half of Americans say they get enough sleep, new poll showsIf you’re feeling — YAWN — sleepy or tired while you read this and wish you could get some more shut-eye, you’re not alone. A majority of Americans say they would feel better if they could have more sleep, according to a new poll.But in the U.S., the ethos of grinding and pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps is ubiquitous, both in the country’s beginnings and our current environment of always-on technology and work hours. And getting enough sleep can seem like a dream.The Gallup poll, released Monday, found 57% of Americans say they would feel better if they could get more sleep, while only 42% say they are getting as much sleep as they need. That’s a first in Gallup polling since 2001; in 2013, when Americans were last asked, it was just about the reverse…

Why Matt Gaetz Is Responsible for the New Ukraine Aid BillPhoto By Tom Williams/CQ Roll Call via AP Images Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), one of Congress’s most outspoken opponents of continuing to provide aid to Ukraine, also happens to be the unwitting architect of a forthcoming bill that will do just that. Gaetz, aided by a small group of Republican rebels and the entirety of the Democratic caucus, led a successful coup against former Speaker Kevin McCarthy after McCarthy negotiated a stopgap spending bill to keep the government open last fall. After its passage, Gaetz filed a motion to strip McCarthy of his gavel. The rest is history. McCarthy was ejected from his perch in the presidential line of succession and Mike Johnson (R-LA) joined it after several other candidates failed to unify the Republican caucus. “If you don’t think that moving from Kevin McCarthy to MAGA Mike Johnson shows…

Study finds evidence of microplastics in brains and other organsTwo new studies have described the ways in which tiny microplastics can end up in humans’ organs – and even in the brains of mice.One of the studies, published in Environmental Health Perspectives on Apr. 10., involved feeding healthy mice microplastics over a period of four to eight weeks. Scientists later found that various organs in the mice were contaminated.”In mice that ingested microspheres, we detected polystyrene microspheres in distant tissues including the brain, liver, and kidney,” the study’s results section reads.”Additionally, we report on the metabolic differences that occurred in the colon, liver, and brain, which showed differential responses that were dependent on concentration and type of microsphere exposure.”SCIENTISTS REVEAL SIMPLE NEW PROCESS THAT MAY HELP ELIMINATE TOXIC CHEMICALS FROM EVERYDAY ITEMSAnother study published in the Journal of Hazardous Materials on Apr. 5 experimented on both humans and mice.

Fox’s Peter Doocy and Karine Jean Pierre Spar Over Biden’s ‘Cannibals’ Story: ‘We Should N…Fox News reporter Peter Doocy pressed White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on a recent story from President Joe Biden involving his late uncle and cannibals. While speaking with the United Steelworkers Union in Pittsburgh, the president said his uncle, Ambrose Finnegan, was shot down in a plane in World War II near New Guinea. Biden also suggested he may have been eaten by cannibals. “He flew those single-engine planes as reconnaissance over war zones, and he got shot down in New Guinea. They never found the body because there used to be, there were a lot of cannibals, for real, in that part of New Guinea,” he said.

Matt Gaetz Is WinningUsually, you need about 10 minutes to walk from the Rayburn House Office Building to the House Chamber. But if you’re running from a reporter, it’ll only take you five.When Matt Gaetz spotted me outside his office door one afternoon early last November, he popped in his AirPods and started speed walking down the hall. I took off after him, waving and smiling like the good-natured midwesterner I am. “Congressman, hi,” I said, suddenly wishing I’d worn shoes with arch support. “I just wanted to introduce myself!” I had prepared a long list of questions, hoping for a thoughtful conversation but ready for a tense one. He was a firebrand, after all, or so said the title of his 2020 memoir, Firebrand.Gaetz is a creature of our time: versed in the art of performance politics and eager to blow up anything to get a little something. He…
