Three earthquakes, the largest with a magnitude of 4.9, rattled West Texas on Monday night, stoking concerns over the impact of intensified Permian Basin oil and natural gas extraction activities.

Netanyahu defended the war in Gaza to (some of) Congress amid protests. As thousands protested outside the US Capitol, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed a joint session of Congress yesterday—though more than 60 Democrats chose not to attend, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Kamala Harris (nearly 100 interns also called in sick as a protest). Harris cited a scheduling conflict and will meet with him later in the week, as will Donald Trump. In his pugnacious speech, Netanyahu pledged to achieve “total victory” in Gaza and did not mention the status of ongoing negotiations for a cease-fire and return of hostages. He said the US and Israel must stand together and praised both Trump and President Joe Biden, while dismissing the protesters as “Iran’s useful idiots.”
