to overturn Supreme Court rulings, which would have
effectively eliminated the power of the judicial branch.

US Focuses Efforts , on Restoring Bison Herds , on Tribal Lands.
The United States Interior Department has announced that it will work to restore
large bison herds on Native American lands. .
'The Independent' reports that the news comes
as part of an effort to tap into Indigenous
knowledge regarding conservation.
U.S. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland is
expected to announce a new secretarial
order to help tribes establish bison herds.
$25 million in federal funds
will be allocated to aid those efforts.
'The Independent' reports that the funds will go toward
building new herds, transferring bison from federal to
tribal lands and forging new agreements with tribes.
Despite returning from the brink of extinction, the bison remain
absent from the grasslands they once called home while many
tribes struggle to restore their deep connection to the animal. .
At one time, North America was home to as many
as 60 million bison which were central to
the culture of Native Americans.
According to Haaland, the bison's recovery is
considered a conservation success, while more
work remains to return the animal to tribal lands.
'The Independent' reports that 82 tribes
across the U.S. now have over
20,000 bison living in 65 herds.
The U.S. Interior Department currently manages 11,000 bison in herds spanning 12 states.

A huge ‘hole’ about 20 times the size of Earth has torn through the Sun, the second in less than a month. This gaping ‘coronal crater’ is hurling 1.8-million-mile-per-hour solar gusts towards Earth, which will hit us this Friday or Saturday. Coronal holes are a frequent characteristic of the Sun, though they show up in various locations – especially near the poles – and with greater regularity at different periods of the Sun’s solar cycle.
