🌔🪳NASA has requested the RR Auction of New Hampshire to halt the sale of a lunar sample, which was digested by cockroaches as part of an experiment in 1969, Space.Com reports.
The Apollo 11 Lunar Soil Experiment comprises what remains from the late Marion Brooks' research into the physiological effects of lunar material on German cockroaches, which were fed with moon dust by NASA scientists in the immediate aftermath of the 1969 Apollo 11 lunar landing mission.
"It is clear and undeniable that the materials consisting of the experiment are owned by NASA," an attorney in NASA's Office of the General Counsel wrote in a letter to the auction.

🗣 "By properly interpreting the Constitution, the Dobbs majority has restored the people's role in our republic and a sense of hope that every life counts. Florida will continue to defend its recently enacted pro-life reforms against state court challenges, will work to expand pro-life protections and will stand for life by promoting adoption, foster care and child welfare," Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said.

⚡️The House sent President Joe Biden the most wide-ranging gun violence bill Congress has passed in decades on Friday, a measured compromise that both illustrates progress on the long-intractable issue and a persistent deep-seated partisan divide.
The Democratic-led chamber approved the election-year legislation mostly along party lines, 234-193 vote, capping a spurt of action prompted by voters' revulsion over last month's mass shootings in New York and Texas. The night before, the Senate approved it by a bipartisan 65-33 margin, with 15 Republicans joining all Democrats in supporting a package that senators from both parties had crafted.
The bill would incrementally toughen requirements for young people to buy guns, deny firearms from more domestic abusers and help local authorities temporarily take weapons from people judged to be dangerous.

🔎Gov. Glenn Youngkin acclaimed the much-anticipated Supreme Court ruling released Friday, ending constitutional protections for abortion that had been in place for nearly 50 years.
In Virginia, abortion is currently legal up to 25 weeks in a pregnancy, but Gov. Youngkin has said he's in favor of a 15-week threshold. The governor said that he's asked a number of senators and delegates to work together in an effort to "find areas where we can agree and chart the most successful path forward."
"The Supreme Court of the United States has rightfully returned power to the people and their elected representatives in the states," he said in a tweeted statement. "I'm proud to be a pro-life Governor and plan to take every action I can to protect life."
He went on to share more about his commitment to supporting Virginian families and "unborn lives."

🔎A federal appeals court on Friday temporarily blocked the Food and Drug Administration's order for Juul to stop selling e-cigarettes.
Joe Murillo, the chief regulatory officer at Juul Labs, said in a statement to AP News that the company would seek a stay and explore other options "under the FDA’s regulations and the law, including appealing the decision and engaging with our regulator."
A federal appeals court on Friday granted a temporary reprieve to Juul Labs that will allow it to keep its e-cigarettes on the market, pending further court review of a decision just a day earlier by the Food and Drug Administration to ban sales of the company’s product.

🔻😢Egypt was shocked by the murder of Naira Ashraf Abdel Qader, who was killed in front of horrified onlookers and a full view of security cameras. Images of her body have spread on social media after she was repeatedly stabbed in her neck and torso outside the entrance of Mansoura University.
Police said a suspect was in custody and, in interviews, had confessed he was motivated by her refusal to communicate with him on Facebook and marry him.
According to the Egyptian news site Al-Falah Al-Youm, the accused, who has been named only as “Mohammed A” and was arrested at the scene, told the prosecutor yesterday that Ashraf had blocked him on social media and that he had made several attempts to contact her throughout a year and a half period which he told investigators “she became famous” and accrued a social media following.

😍💫💫Beyoncé has officially signed off on quitting your job. Her newest single, "Break My Soul," has been heralded as a Great Resignation anthem and marks a cultural turning point.
The musical icon — which samples rapper Big Freedia sings: "I just quit my job/ I'm gonna find new drive/ Damn they work me so damn hard/ Work by nine/ Then off past five." The job works her nerves and "that's why I cannot sleep at night."
Like the millions of Americans who have been quitting their jobs at near-record highs for a year, Beyoncé isn't abandoning the concept of work altogether. Instead, she's "lookin' for motivation" and a "new foundation" — something that has undoubtedly propelled many of America's quitters into different roles as they realize that life is too short to work in a job they aren't passionate about.
