Live from NPR news in Washington, I'm Rylan Barton.
President Trump signed an executive order today directing the government to rename Lake Ontario Lake America.
“It comes after the Trump administration announced 50% tariffs on goods from Canada and Canada”
announced it will impose tariffs on about $20 billion in U.S. goods.
But today, Canada announced its struck American seafood from the list, Michael Livingston with Maine Public Reports Lobster Men are breathing as big sigh of relief now that those tariffs are off the table. Canada says it made the change after meeting with seafood industry leaders to quote "protect against broader economic harms."
Maine typically exports more than half of its annual lobster landings to Canada for processing, bringing in over $1 billion a year. This sort of back and forth trade of the product across the border has been something that's kept both industries thriving for many, many years now. Maine Lobster Man Association head Patrice McLaren says the tariffs would have disrupted
that market overnight. Maine revenue for Lobster Men. Maine Republican Senator Susan Collins, who's in a tough race for reelection, criticized
“the Trump administration for starting the trade war.”
Saying border states economies are inextricably linked to trade with Canada. For NPR News, unlike a Livingston in Kennebunk, Maine. Kids under 18 will soon see changes to their Instagram and Facebook experiences, thanks
to the $18 billion settlement meta reached with states yesterday, meta agreed to strengthen
its age estimates to keep kids under 13 off its platforms and teens in age appropriate accounts, and it promised to enact a limit of two hours a day for users under 18 and block kids from the apps from midnight until 6am and hide like counts. Critics and children's advocates cautioned it will not, it won't solve the problems overnight.
A jury is now deliberating whether to find Lindsey Clancy, guilty of murdering her three children in 2023, her attorney is seeking what's known as the insanity defense because of Clancy's postpartum mental health issues. From member station, W. B. U. R. Deborah Becker reports on yesterday's closing arguments in the case.
“Both sides agree Lindsey Clancy was a devoted mother who was struggling.”
Defense attorney Kevin Reddington says Clancy was over-medicated and spiraled into postpartum psychosis. "The game medicine and the lousy medical care that she got." But prosecutor Jennifer Spregg says Clancy knew what she was doing and planned to kill her children.
"She left them, discarded on the basement floor, like broken toys, because she was not playing the game."
Juris will decide whether Clancy's guilty of first-degree murder or not guilty because
her mental state made her not criminally responsible. For NPR News, I'm Deborah Becker in Plymouth, Massachusetts. "Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh will speak at the feds annual economic symposium tomorrow, any Wall Street analysts are hoping he'll signal how he thinks the feds should handle inflation and is weighed down many consumers."
Juris listening to NPR News from Washington. A new study in the journal Science argues the Trump administration relied on flawed logic to justify scrapping vehicle emissions standards, making errors in how it accounted for fuel savings, the price of technology, and mileage. The Trump administration got rid of the emissions standards this year when it revoked
what's known as the Endangerment Fighting, which had long underpinned federal regulation of greenhouse gases. Life on the Moon seems unlikely with harsh conditions like extreme temperatures and solar radiation, but researchers at NASA and the University of Maryland now say new evidence shows microbes from Earth can survive there.
Scott Mouscioni from member station WIPR has more. "University of Maryland researchers studied environments on the Moon and then tried to see if Earth foreign microbes would be able to handle the conditions. The answer was yes if the bacteria and fungi were in pockets of shadow that protected them from lethal radiation. Now with NASA plans underway to get humans back on the Moon by 2028,
Stefano Bertone, a scientist who worked on the study, says the lead to be careful." "We want to preserve the scientific record that the Moon represents and that we don't want to contaminate the Moon and just assume that everything we are reset." Bertone says NASA may need to consider how it collects samples to reduce contamination. For NPR News, I'm Scott Mouscioni, and Baltimore.
