SUMMARY: North Carolina state Senator Danny Britt has reached out to former President Donald Trump for assistance in restoring communications affected by Hurricane Helene. In response, Trump contacted Elon Musk, who committed “as many Starlink devices as needed” to aid the state’s recovery. Starlink, a subsidiary of SpaceX, provides satellite broadband internet. Following the hurricane’s impact, multiple communication companies face damage to cell towers and fiber cables, while federal aid is progressing slowly. Britt’s district, hit hard by past hurricanes, continues to recover. Helene caused significant destruction, leading to road closures and over 150 deaths across the Southeast.

SUMMARY: Thaddeus, born in Ohio, is now the world’s oldest baby conceived from an embryo frozen in 1994—over 30 years ago. His adoptive parents, Tim and Lindsey Pierce, who had struggled to conceive for seven years, received the embryo through a Christian embryo adoption agency. The embryo was originally created by Linda Archer and her then-husband using early IVF technology. Despite the embryo’s age, doctors confirm embryos frozen correctly can be as healthy as fresh ones. Thaddeus’s birth raises ethical questions about frozen embryos’ future and ownership, with around one million frozen in U.S. storage. Linda notes Thaddeus resembles her 30-year-old daughter.
