Bob Corker (Credit: AP/Alex Brandon) On Sunday, Vice President Mike Pence spent taxpayer money on a stunt orchestrated by the president: He walked out of an NFL game when some players took a knee during the national anthem. Now some team owners are apparently acceding to Donald Trump’s demands that they punish players for failing to stand, which must make the president feel like a powerful man indeed.

This Near-Extinct Bird Has Returned to the Rice Fields of Japan’s Sado Island
Mother Jones, Sunday - 01/12/2025 - 06:00 AM
This story was originally published by Atlas Obscura and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Sado Island perches like a butterfly with its wings outstretched just off the curved west coast of Japan. Yet this land mass is better known as the home of another winged creature: the crested ibis, called toki in Japanese. Hop on a shinkansen (a high-speed train) from Tokyo to Niigata, then board a ferry, and you will arrive at the port of Ryotsu, where a Welcome to Sado sign awaits above a larger-than-life photo of a toki mid-flight.
