ORGANIC (CERTIFIED ORGANIC) The USDA Certified Organic stamp means the hens are raised without cages and with access to the outdoors; are fed organic, all-vegetarian diets; are raised without antibiotics, pesticides, or insecticides; and that the eggs aren't irradiated.
Certified Organic is the only way to guarantee that your eggs were raised without antibiotics. A new term, Beyond Organic, is gaining recognition as being stricter than the USDA Certified Organic standards, though it isn't USDA regulated. But you probably won't see it in a grocery store.
CERTIFIED HUMANE, FREE FARMED, AND ANIMAL CARE CERTIFIED Technically separate, these all refer to the animals' living conditions, guaranteeing a minimum amount of space; access to fresh air, water, and food; and limited stress and/or noise, among other things. The certification is overseen by independent associations whose inspection regulations are approved by the USDA, but they are not part of a USDA regulatory program.
Participation is voluntary. These eggs are not organic unless separately labeled so.
The following group are the labels the USDA allows producers to use on an honor system, without formal oversight or inspection:
FREE-RANGE (AKA FREE-ROAMING) Implies that the birds are not kept in cages and sometimes have outdoor access, though it can be just a door open at some point in the day. Free-range as defined by the USDA applies only to chickens used for meat and not egg layers, so there are no USDA standards for so-called free-range eggs.
CAGE-FREE The birds are not kept in cages, but no outdoor access is guaranteed.

“Elon isn’t taking calls from anyone,” one Silicon Valley financier and big donor to Republican candidates told the Financial Times. “Not from people who have billions invested in his companies . . . The Valley is losing their shit.”
Attempts to get Trump to reconcile with his former “first buddy” were set back on Friday morning by news that the president planned to sell or give away the Tesla he had bought in March as a show of support for Musk. Reports of a conciliatory phone call between the two men were also dismissed by the White House.
Billionaire Tim Draper, who invested in Tesla and SpaceX, urged Trump and Musk to reunite to save the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, an initiative that was backed by many in the tech world and staffed by Silicon Valley executives.

Mohammed Saqer, 43, told CNN in an interview that he only narrowly escaped death, watching people around him get shot in the head as he crouched on the ground, hoping to survive long enough to reach the site run by GHF and get food for his family.

Robert Maher, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at Montana State University, who specializes in forensic audio analysis, examined the footage for CNN and said that the bursts of gunfire were at a rate of 15 and 16 shots per second (or 900 and 960 per minute), fired from a distance of about a quarter of a mile (450 meters).

Based on the erratic nature of the sound, Maher said that the shots seemed to be spread out, fired repeatedly in one direction. “Since the cracks are irregular, it seems more like the gunfire was being sprayed over the area.”

Trevor Ball, a former US Army senior explosive ordnance disposal team member, said the rate of fire was consistent with the FN MAG, a heavily-used machine gun in the Israeli military’s arsenal. The FN MAG is commonly equipped on the IDF’s Merkava tanks, which several eyewitnesses said they saw open fire on the crowds.

Ball told CNN he could not confirm the specific weaponry used, or who fired it, but the rate of fire, he said, indicated it wasn’t consistent with machine guns used by Hamas.

Ball also said the tracer fire – ammunition containing a pyrotechnic charge illuminating its trajectory – seen in the GHF’s footage is consistent with the use of machine guns. “Typically belt fed machine guns have tracer rounds inserted every few rounds. So while only 3 tracers are visible in the video, more rounds were fired.”
