Panda Express is famous for its orange chicken. But the founders of the iconic fast-casual Asian chain also want to be known for something else: helping their workers realize the American dream.“I always believe that when you do well, you know, personally, then you can go out and take care of other people,” said Andrew Cherng, who is co-founder, co-chair and co-CEO of Panda Express along with his wife, Peggy Cherng. “You want people to do well,” he said. “And you want to treat them well.”Cherng measures progress in part by how many of his managers make $100,000 or more…

Shortly after taking office last year, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth polled the nation’s top commanders about cutting a program designed to protect civilians during U.S. military operations. Hegseth had bet senior officers would endorse his view that focusing on civilian security was “woke” and out of step with “maximum lethality,” current and former defense officials told ProPublica. Instead, every commander rebuffed the idea. The poll from early 2025, which has not been previously reported, cemented top-level military support for Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response, a relatively new program adopted after years of heavy civilian tolls in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere.…

Lanterns returns this week with its sophomore episode, which, interestingly enough, separates its two leads for the majority of the episode while introducing new elements of the greater mystery. It was a touch more cosmic and sci-fi than its grounded opener, but still focused on the 2016 mystery timeline. Let’s see how we fared this week. One of the big things this week is that the show splits up Hal and John for most of the episode’s runtime. Part of the success of the pilot was the back-and-forth squabbling between the pair, so to break it up so early on…

ATLANTA — Dodgers manager Dave Roberts could see the kind of inning right-hander Tyler Glasnow had to begin his start Tuesday, plagued by soft contact and bad luck, derailing a younger version of him.“That’s an outing that a couple years ago I think might have gotten away,” Roberts said after the Dodgers’ 4-3 loss to the Braves, ending a six-game winning streak. “And I don’t think he would’ve been as efficient getting through the fifth like he did. But there’s just a lot of growth with Glas. Just can’t wait to see more. Like I told him after the start, it’s just…

The most unexpected number in the first detailed clinical account of a Bundibugyo virus patient is not the survival. It is where the virus was concentrated.On day five of illness, an oropharyngeal swab from a 39-year-old American healthcare worker evacuated from the Democratic Republic of the Congo carried roughly 9 x 10⁷ copies of viral RNA per milliliter. His plasma that same day carried about 7 x 10⁶. More than a tenfold difference, with the throat, not the bloodstream, holding the larger load.The authors flag this directly. Viral concentrations across body compartments differed from previous reports in patients with Ebola…
