U.S. NEWS
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) is investigating Delta Air Lines for its handling of passengers during a recent technical outage. The investigation was prompted by reports of passengers being left on planes for extended periods in extreme heat, particularly at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, where temperatures exceeded 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Several passengers experienced medical emergencies, and some had to be hospitalized.
The outage, caused by a faulty software update, led to the cancellation of over 3,500 Delta flights, leaving thousands of passengers stranded. Delta's CEO, Ed Bastian, apologized and stated that the company is cooperating with the investigation while focusing on restoring normal operations. The DOT emphasized that airlines must provide comfortable cabin temperatures and timely disembarkation during such delays.

Social Security benefits have lost 20% of their purchasing power since 2010 due to inflation, according to the Senior Citizens League. Despite annual cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs), which have increased benefits by 58%, the cost of goods and services for retirees has risen by 73%. With inflation outpacing COLAs, retirees are struggling financially. The 2025 COLA is projected to be 2.63%, lower than the current inflation rate of 3%, potentially exacerbating the issue. This situation poses significant challenges for many Americans' retirement plans.
HEALTH
Research suggests that CBD may offer protective benefits against UVA rays, which are known to cause skin aging and potentially lead to skin cancer. When combined with traditional sun protection methods, such as sunscreen, CBD could enhance skin defense by reducing inflammation and supporting skin cell repair. However, it's essential to continue using broad-spectrum sunscreen and other protective measures alongside any CBD-infused products for optimal skin protection.
ENTERTAINMENT
"Fly Me to the Moon," starring Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum, is a romantic comedy set against the backdrop of the 1969 space race. The film combines elements of historical fiction with a light-hearted romcom narrative. Johansson plays Kelly Jones, a marketing executive tasked with boosting public support for NASA's Apollo 11 mission, while Tatum stars as Cole Davis, the earnest NASA launch director. The plot humorously explores the idea of faking the moon landing as a backup plan if the real mission fails.
