In Mississippi, a tiny fish is reintroduced to the river where it disappeared 50 years ago
SUMMARY: Oil and gas development, agricultural runoff, urban pollution and dam construction are some factors contributing to the extinction of the pearl darter in the Pearl River system. Despite these threats, the 1972 federal Clean Water Act has reportedly made parts of the river clearer, with both federal and state wildlife experts suggesting that the pearl darter may be able to repopulate these areas. There is currently ongoing regular sampling to monitor the pearl darter’s survival, with officials hopeful that the species may no longer need federal protection in the future.

On July 13, a gunman opened fire from an unsecured rooftop during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, injuring Trump. The report highlights significant “communications deficiencies” that prevented coordination and awareness of the threat. The Secret Service had prior knowledge of potential security risks at the rally site but failed to implement adequate measures. The report raises concerns about tactical planning and responsibility, as some agents were placed on modified duty following the incident.
