Washington — The Senate unanimously agreed to temporarily display a plaque honoring law enforcement who defended the Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack after the House declined to hang the commemorative marker required by a 2022 law. Senators Jeff Merkley and Thom Tillis sponsored the resolution directing the Architect of the Capitol to place the plaque in an accessible Senate wing until a permanent location is set. The plaque, completed but reportedly in storage, lists responding agencies; House Speaker Mike Johnson has said the production does not implement the statute. Based on 11 articles reviewed and supporting research.

Earth’s Shape Accelerates Toward Roundness

Tap title to read story

New research shows Earth’s solid surface is becoming rounder faster as polar ice melts. The study, published in the journal JGR Solid Earth, used Global Navigation Satellite System data to measure surface motion. Between 2011 and 2015, polar uplift averaged about 0.02 to 0.04 inches per year, while the equatorial bulge contracted at a similar rate. The rate of change has accelerated compared to 1997‑2000, with each decade seeing a 0.01‑inch increase in polar uplift and a 0.02‑inch increase in equatorial contraction. These minuscule shifts, driven by melting glaciers, indicate a measurable, hastening increase in Earth’s roundness.
