We are grateful to State Senator Pavel @Payano for introducing a resolution designating May 25, 2026, as "Missing Children’s Day" in Massachusetts and to all 40 MA Senators for supporting the measure. In 2025, NCMEC received more than 32,000 reports of missing children, including 958 reports of missing children from MA. We appreciate Senator Payano and the MA Senate for highlighting the importance of protecting children and supporting families impacted by missing child cases. Every child deserves a safe childhood.

How do you know how someone is feeling? We don't just use facial expressions, we combine expressions with "context", like body language and scenes, to truly understand emotions. Our study investigated the brain's computational mechanisms for integrating these cues in real-time.

Now that Obama’s poll numbers are in tailspin – watch for him to launch a strike in Libya or Iran. He is desperate.

In response to Federal agents killing another person in Minnesota, I have requested a meeting with the President of the United States and demanded that his Administration immediately withdraw ICE agents from Maine. My statement:

Statement from the Nobel Foundation One of the core missions of the Nobel Foundation is to safeguard the dignity of the Nobel Prizes and their administration. The Foundation upholds Alfred Nobel’s will and its stipulations. It states that the prizes shall be awarded to those who "have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind," and it specifies who has the right to award each respective prize. A prize can therefore not, even symbolically, be passed on or further distributed. For additional information, please refer to the Norwegian Nobel Committee: nobelpeaceprize.org/press/pr…
