Vineyards and apple orchards across the Northeast are still gauging damage from a late-season frost in May that wiped out a third to most of the crop for some growers who say it's the worst frost damage they've ever seen. Some states are seeking federal disaster declarations that would make low-interest loans and other programs available to farmers. And local agriculture officials are contemplating together asking the U.S. Department of Agriculture for aid. In Vermont, Scott Farm Orchard lost up to 90% of its apple crop. The widespread frost also hit the wine-producing region of the Finger Lakes in upstate New York which lost about half of the grape crop regionwide.
New research from North Carolina State University offers some hope to fruit growers who have struggled with a damaging fruit fly. The research published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences describes how the researchers manipulated the insects' DNA so that female offspring would be sterile. Genetically modifying insects as a form of pest control isn’t a new idea. Scientists have already released genetically modified mosquitoes, for instance, that mate with the native population to produce offspring that die before adulthood to hold down populations and help combat the spread of insect-borne diseases. But the technology hasn’t taken off as widely in agriculture because pesticides have been cheaper and easier to use.
The Republican-controlled House is taking up legislation that GOP lawmakers say would protect gas stoves from over-zealous government regulators. A bill approved Tuesday would prohibit use of federal funds to regulate gas stoves as a hazardous product, while a separate measure would block an Energy Department rule setting stricter energy efficiency standards for stovetops and ovens. Both bills were set for approval last week, but were postponed after House conservatives staged a mini-revolt in retaliation for Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s leadership on a bill to raise the debt ceiling. McCarthy appeared to resolve the dispute Monday. Republicans accuse the Biden administration of overreach. Democrats call the concerns overheated.
Paul McCartney says artificial intelligence has been used to extract John Lennon’s voice from an old demo to create “the last Beatles record," decades after the band broke up. McCartney told the BBC on Tuesday that the technology was used to separate the Beatles’ voices from background sounds during the making of director Peter Jackson’s 2021 documentary series “The Beatles: Get Back.” He said the new song is set to be released later this year. McCartney told BBC radio that Jackson was “able to extricate John’s voice from a ropey little bit of cassette and a piano." He said: “We were able to take John’s voice and get it pure through this AI so then we could mix the record."
Former President Donald Trump has pleaded not guilty to federal charges alleging he hoarded classified documents detailing sensitive military secrets and schemed to thwart government efforts to get them back. Trump appeared before a judge in Miami’s federal courthouse on Tuesday. He is the first former president charged with federal crimes. Authorities say Trump schemed and lied to block the government from recovering the documents concerning nuclear programs and other sensitive military secrets stored at his Mar-a-Lago estate. It’s the second criminal case Trump faces as he seeks to reclaim the White House in 2024. He’s also accused in New York state court of falsifying business records related to hush-money payments during the 2016 campaign.
A federal judge temporarily blocked the planned $69 billion deal Tuesday, giving more time for an antitrust review.
An entrepreneur who promoted group “orgasmic meditation” as a road to women’s well-being has pleaded not guilty to a charge of manipulating traumatized people into debt, undesired sex and underpaid work. Nicole Daedone turned herself in Tuesday, a week after the federal forced labor conspiracy case was unveiled. She was released on $1 million bond. Daedone founded a sex-centric wellness company known as OneTaste. Prosecutors say she and another ex-executive schemed to indoctrinate and intimidate OneTaste participants and workers into becoming unquestioning, cloistered followers. Daedone's lawyer says nothing could be further from the truth. OneTaste's new owners are standing by the ex-executives and say the allegations bear no resemblance to the company.

Lawyers seeking redrawn congressional lines in New York argued before a state appeals court in a Democrat-backed lawsuit. The lawsuit being considered Thursday could have implications in the 2024 fight for control of the House. It was brought on behalf of 10 New York voters who want a state redistricting commission to submit new proposed congressional lines for 2024. A victory for the plaintiffs would scrap lines drafted for 2022 by an outside expert after a legal challenge. Republicans were able to flip four congressional seats in New York under those lines. Republicans say the lawsuit is politically motivated.
