Airborne Ant Trap Researchers have identified a new Australian spider that catapults its prey into the air with an acceleration roughly 15 times greater than that experienced by jet pilots, according to a study published this week. A two-person team spent 10 nights in the rain forest recording the nocturnal species with high-speed and infrared cameras. The spider spends up to four hours spinning tension lines into a cone on a leaf, branch, or the forest floor. Researchers suspect it releases pheromones to lure green ants—the spider's only prey. When an ant bites the cone, the trap launches the insect nearly a foot into the air in a fraction of a second and into a primary web, where the spider feasts (watch infrared recording). The snare-like contraption is the first known web triggered by the prey rather than the predator and the first designed to target a single species. While the spider has yet to be formally named, it's been coined the ballista spider, after an ancient Roman weapon used to launch stones (watch how it works).

'Green Boots' Recovery Mission India’s government is soliciting bids for a mission to retrieve the remains of “Green Boots,” a climber who died 30 years ago on Mount Everest. See an image of “Green Boots” here (scroll and use the slider to reveal). In 1996, climbers attempted the first Indian ascent of Everest from the northeast side in Tibet. (Climbing from Nepal's south side is more common, accounting for about 70% of climbs.) Near the summit, the group was hit by the blizzard chronicled in Jon Krakauer’s “Into Thin Air.” Eight people died, including three Indian climbers, of whom only one body has been found. Nicknamed for his lime-colored boots, the body remains on the trail, and DNA has confirmed he is Indian soldier Dorje Morup. India wants the retrieval completed by October, despite poor weather conditions. About 200 bodies remain on Mount Everest. Efforts to retrieve them are dangerous, although some—including “Sleeping Beauty”—have been moved out of sight.

Healthcare Fraud Sweep The Justice Department has charged 455 defendants across 45 states and US territories in a $6.5B healthcare fraud crackdown, which officials described as the largest coordinated enforcement action in its history and the second-largest amount ever charged in a single operation (behind last year’s $14.6B operation). Authorities say the schemes targeted Medicare, Medicaid, and other healthcare programs through fraudulent billing, illegal kickbacks, opioid distribution, and telemedicine operations. Those charged include 90 licensed medical professionals, while 295 defendants are tied to over $500M in false Medicaid claims. Investigators also seized more than $127M in cash, vehicles, jewelry, and other assets tied to the alleged fraud. The two-week crackdown comes amid the Trump administration’s antifraud push, with expanded data-sharing efforts across agencies (scroll to see coordinated effort). Experts estimate healthcare fraud costs the US between $100B and $170B annually—roughly 3% to 15% of total healthcare spending. See a dashboard tracking healthcare fraud cases nationwide.

Ro 5:10 For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. 2Co 5:19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. The word "imputing" is also translated as "counted" and "reckon." Same word used in describing Abraham, "It was counted to him for righteousness." God does not count sin against us because Jesus died for us.

💣 GOP powder keg Sens. Mike Lee and Rick Scott have teed up what could be a tense, confrontational lunch tomorrow with President Trump and Senate Republicans. The two spent months pressuring Senate Majority Leader John Thune on the SAVE America Act. Now Trump will be in the room with them. Why it matters: Trump is fixated on passing the SAVE Act to help Republicans in the midterms. But Thune is insistent that Republicans don't have the votes. "There are not the votes to nuke the filibuster, and there aren't going to be 10 Democrat votes to all of a sudden support the SAVE America Act," Thune told reporters today. SAVE would require voter ID and proof of citizenship, while imposing new restrictions on mail-in voting. Zoom in: Scott invited Trump to attend the weekly lunch put on by the conservative Senate GOP Steering Committee. Thune laughed when asked whether Scott checked with him before extending the invite. "Well, he told me he did it," Thune told reporters. Scott sent a letter to senators yesterday outlining what he thinks the chamber's focus should be — including passing the SAVE America Act or parts of it, according to a copy we obtained. Between the lines: Senate GOP leadership has largely learned to negotiate with and work around staunch conservatives like Lee and Scott. But some senators are losing patience. "I never speak ill of members when they want to be professional," Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) told reporters today after accusing Lee of "naivete" or wanting "to get more likes on social media posts." "But when you do some of the bullshit [Lee has] done on social media, that's why he gets these comments out here," he added. "I think Mike Lee is contributing to this fantasy that somehow it's going to happen," Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) told reporters. The big picture: The SAVE Act got 48 votes earlier this month when Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) tried adding it as an amendment to the budget reconciliation bill. Former GOP leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Tillis voted against it. The closest the GOP got was 53 votes for a narrower amendment requiring photo ID to vote. Three other amendments requiring IDs for registering to vote or requiring proof of citizenship failed to get more than 50 votes when they came up in April and June. "The will is not there, and the votes aren't there. ... I'm into reality," Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) told us when asked about Lee and Scott's efforts. But Scott and Lee are publicly pushing leadership to use aggressive procedural tactics until the bill passes. "Let's pass the SAVE America Act now," Lee replied yesterday to a post from Thune's X account. "As I've been asking you to do for months, please bring it up now and announce that we will debate it until it passes." Thune retorted today: "Sometimes when something hasn't been done in 100 years there's a reason for that." — Stef Kight

Senate for first time approves a war powers resolution in a rebuke to Trump over Iran conflict WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate for the first time approved a war powers resolution Tuesday seeking to block U.S. military action against Iran, as lawmakers warily watch President Donald Trump’s efforts to resolve a conflict that the administration launched on its own and now needs Congress to fund. https://apnews.com/article/senate-iran-war-powers-resolution-trump-7462a9a561103f531d995aac91f9fc96? 💣 👎 War powers defectors Eight Republicans were enough to deliver majorities in both chambers of Congress for rebuking President Trump on the Iran war. Sens. Bill Cassidy (R-La.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Rand Paul (R-Ky.) voted with Democrats today on a war powers resolution. Reps. Tom Barrett (R-Mich.), Warren Davidson (R-Ohio), Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) and Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) voted for one earlier this month.

👋 Good morning! Giannis Antetokoumpo was traded to the Heat late last night, and the NBA Draft begins this evening. Not a bad day to be a basketball fan. In today's edition: Messi, Mbappé and Haaland do it again, Dusty May heads to Dallas, Oklahoma wins the CWS, the Tartan Army invades Miami, and more. Yahoo Sports AM is written by Kendall Baker and Jeff Tracy. Let's sports...   🚨 ICYMI HEADLINES 🚨 Giannis blockbuster: The Bucks have finally traded away Giannis Antetekounmpo, sending the two-time MVP to the Heat (alongside Bobby Portis) in a massive deal for Tyler Herro, Kel'el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kasparas Jakučionis, three first-round picks, one second-round pick and one pick swap. ⚾️ All-Star voting update: Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani (2.3M votes) remains MLB's top vote-getter as of Monday's All-Star ballot update, while Blue Jays 2B Ernie Clement (2.1M) has the most votes in the AL. Phase 1 of voting ends on Thursday at noon ET. 🏒 Call to the Hall: Bruins legend Patrice Bergeron was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. He's joined in the Class of 2026 by Brian Burke, Cindy Curley, Carey Price, Pekka Rinne and Keith Tkachuk, all of whom will be inducted in November. 🎾 Banned: Markéta Vondroušová, who stunned the tennis world in 2023 when she became the first unseeded woman to win Wimbledon, has been suspended for four years by the International Tennis Integrity Agency after refusing to submit to a drug test. 🎙️ Signing off: Broadcasting trailblazer Linda Cohn is retiring from ESPN at the end of the month after a 34-year career in which she's anchored over 5,500 editions of "SportsCenter," more than anyone else in the show's history.   ⚽️ WORLD CUP MESSI VS. MBAPPÉ: THE CHASE IS ON (Yahoo Sports) Baseball fans of the late-1990s know: American summers are better with a record chase. It's only fitting, then, that a World Cup on North American soil is producing a clash of global titans embroiled in pursuit of the tournament's most vaunted individual achievement. The crowning moment: Lionel Messi entered Monday needing only one goal to eclipse Miroslav Klose as the World Cup's all-time leading scorer. Naturally, he scored two. Late in the first half, Messi slotted a Facundo Medina cross to rise to the top of the record books, before punctuating Argentina's 2-0 victory with a rebound threaded through the Austrian defense in the 95th minute. The latter goal, his 18th, broke a tie with Marta for most career goals in both the men's and women's World Cups. Messi has also now scored in a record-tying six consecutive World Cup matches, because of course he has. The chase is on: As if Messi's record-breaking brace weren't enough, Kylian Mbappé followed with two goals of his own in France's waterlogged 3-0 victory over Iraq, giving the young superstar a tally of 16 — or just two shy of the Argentine legend's still-growing total. This despite being 12 years younger, and three World Cups behind, the all-time great. Game on! C'est parti! Mbappé plays through the rain in Philadelphia. (Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images) Don't forget the Golden Boot: Playing in his first World Cup, Erling Haaland is not yet a factor in the all-time goals race, but he poses a serious threat for this year's Golden Boot. The Norwegian superstar capped Monday's sensational flurry of goals with two more in a 3-2 win over Senegal, joining Mbappé in second place with four apiece as the sport's three biggest stars — again — delivered a day we won't soon forget. Jay Busbee, Yahoo Sports: You hear about the Eiffel Tower from childhood, you see images of it on TV and in movies, but until you're standing before it, you can't quite understand how immense and impressive it is. And when you're standing before it, no matter how many times you've seen it before, you realize that somehow it's even more spectacular than you'd imagined. If you're remotely soccer-aware, you'd already heard of the majesty of a Leo Messi-led Argentina, the artistry of a Kylian Mbappé-led France, the relentlessness of an Erling Haaland-led Norway. But until you see those nations, and those stars, in action, you can't really comprehend how amazing they truly are. America is now getting the full Messi-Mbappé-Haaland experience, and it's every bit as astounding as we've been told. How lucky are we, to get to see generational glory play out right in front of us? In terms of pure wattage, Monday has to rank as one of the most radiant days in World Cup history. Three of the greatest players on earth, each creating multiple-goal magnificence, each leading their nation forward through to the knockout stage. And here's what's even more impressive: This is the second time they've pulled off the feat during this World Cup.   🏀 PREP TO PROS DUSTY MAY TAKES THE LEAP (Aaron J. Thornton/Getty Images) Dusty May, fresh off winning a championship with Michigan, is making the leap to the NBA as the Mavericks' next head coach. Historically it's a move with extremely limited success, leaving us with one immediate question: Will the 49-year-old be the exception, or the rule? The cautionary tale: The last time a college coach took the top job for an NBA team was in 2019, when John Beilein — also an "innovative basketball mind" plucked straight from Ann Arbor — joined the Cavaliers. He went 14-40 before stepping down midseason, and he's hardly the only example of a guy whose legitimate bona fides failed to translate at the next level. Rick Pitino had one good NBA season and five pretty bad ones; Billy Donovan had an excellent debut (it helps to have prime Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook) whose success he never again matched; former Iowa State coaches Fred Hoiberg and Tim Floyd combined for a .322 winning percentage across eight seasons in Chicago. The list goes on, writes Yahoo Sports' Dan Devine: "John Calipari, Reggie Theus, Mike Montgomery and Lon Kruger didn't make it through three seasons. Leonard Hamilton and Mike Dunlap didn't make it to a second. Hall of Famer Jerry Tarkanian, God bless him, didn’t make it to Christmas. The leap is dark and full of terrors." The potential blueprint: The lone legitimate success story in recent memory is Brad Stevens, whose Butler-to-Boston blueprint should be the north star of any coach making the leap. And for May, who's looking to continue a truly remarkable rise, it's one that looks legitimately attainable. Dan Wolken, Yahoo Sports: May understands, like all of his contemporaries, that dynasties aren't going to exist in college basketball the same way they used to. Yes, May just won a national championship and is good enough to win more. But in this era of college basketball, gaining that status as a coach doesn't mean what it used to. Every year it's a new team, a new fight to outbid your rivals for talent, a new gamble on whether you've spent your money on the right people. Winning national titles doesn't buy you much credibility anymore with prospects or agents who approach recruiting as business deals. There won't be any more Coach Ks landing five-stars by flashing rings or getting Grant Hill to make a phone call. That's not necessarily why May left. If anyone has proven that they could adapt and thrive under the ever-changing conditions of college sports these days, it's the guy who made it work at Florida Atlantic and then did it even bigger and better when he had power conference resources. This is more a case of a coach climbing the mountaintop slowly and then very quickly. And after he checked off the biggest box in college basketball, he was intrigued by another challenge — one that Stevens conquered both as coach and then as a Celtics' president of basketball operations who put together an NBA champion. After May's success at FAU and Michigan, he could have chosen practically any destiny for the next decade of his basketball life. And even though he'd have been as likely as anyone to be the face of college basketball in this era, it's unsurprising given his personality, curiosity and adaptability that he's taking the same route as Stevens. And it shouldn't shock anyone if he's just as big of a success.   🏆 BOOMER SOONER OKLAHOMA COMPLETES EPIC RUN What a feeling. (Jay Biggerstaff/Getty Images) Oklahoma routed North Carolina, 13-2, on Monday night in Omaha to clinch their third College World Series title — the culmination of a stunning run through the postseason during which they transformed into an unbeatable baseball machine. What a ride: The Sooners finished 11th in the mighty SEC after dropping eight of their final 12 regular-season games. They lost their SEC tournament opener, too, before embarking on a three-week mission that saw them defeat every power conference champion in succession. First they went 4-1 to win their Regional, capped off by a do-or-die sweep of ACC regular season and tournament champion Georgia Tech. Then they went 2-0 in their Super Regional, sweeping Big 12 regular season and tournament champion Kansas. Then, after winning their CWS opener, they swept SEC regular season and tournament champion Georgia to advance to the Final, where they took down fifth-seeded North Carolina in three games to complete their epic run. I believe that's what you call a buzzsaw. MVP: Oklahoma's Jaxon Willits was named Most Outstanding Player of the CWS after the junior infielder batted .500 (13-for-26) with five extra-base hits, six runs and seven RBIs across six games, including a 3-for-4 performance (plus two walks) in Monday's clincher. Conference of champions: The SEC was already the first league to produce six consecutive baseball national champions. Now, they're the first to produce seven. 2019: Vanderbilt 2021: Mississippi State 2022: Ole Miss 2023: LSU 2024: Tennessee 2025: LSU 2026: Oklahoma   🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 NO SCOTLAND, NO PARTY IN PHOTOS: THE TARTAN ARMY INVADES MIAMI Scottish fans march through Little Havana to Loan Depot Park.

National Guard and US Park Police patrol Reflecting Pool as coating peels The Trump administration faces a self-imposed deadline to fix a botched renovation before the nation's 250th anniversary celebration. Read more. What to know: The patrols came two days after President Donald Trump said authorities had made “multiple arrests” of people he insisted were responsible for damage to the peeling coating after an algae bloom occurred. He has not backed up those claims, and even if anyone has deliberately peeled or cut the lining, that would not explain the algae bloom that appeared more intensely than what typically occurred before the renovation. The Park Police did not immediately respond Monday to AP’s questions about how many arrests were made.

What to watch in Tuesday’s Maryland, New York, South Carolina and Utah primaries We’re doing something a bit different today. Joining me is national politics reporter, Meg Kinnard, who’s been reporting for the AP for over 20 years. Meg is in South Carolina covering the GOP governor runoff tonight, but first, she’s here with us this morning to answer a few questions about today’s elections. What do you think today’s races will tell us about where things are heading in the November midterms? We will see a bit of how much sway President Donald Trump still has; he’s played a large role in South Carolina’s primary, and while he’s made picks in the other states, his influence there may be a bit muted given how deeply red this state is. I’ve talked to voters who like being in line with Trump’s picks — as well as plenty who say his endorsement doesn't matter to them. What’s the race you find most interesting? I’m watching to see how much influence New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has in the contests where he's aggressively endorsed candidates challenging Democrats supported by party leadership. Mamdani made a big splash when he won, but if his chosen picks have success — like Darializa Avila Chevalier, the 32-year-old he’s supporting against Congressional Hispanic Caucus Chair Adriano Espaillat — that can strengthen his status as a democratic socialist kingmaker. It can also risk deepening fractures in his own party. If you want more from Meg, she also writes our political newsletter Ground Game.
