   a “clean and healthful environment” through a provision blocking climate
   considerations in energy projects.

   and could inspire a wave of lawsuits aimed at advancing action on the
   climate.

The Smithsonian has at least 30,700 human bones and body parts in storage.

 * How we know: The Post spent a year examining the National Museum of Natural
   History’s collection of human remains. It includes mummies, skulls and teeth,
   and 255 brains.

   racist theories. After years of lagging efforts, the museum plans to return
   more remains to descendants.

Michigan State students found a 142-year-old observatory buried on campus.



 * How? Construction workers hit a hard surface when installing hammock poles
   this summer. Students then unearthed part of the cobblestone foundation of
   the old building.
 * The history: It was the school’s first observatory for astronomy, dating to
   1881. Next summer, it will become an archaeological dig site for
   undergraduates and local residents.

the answer.

A number of right-wing commentators made it clear Tuesday that they didn’t care
for Hillary Clinton’s response to Donald Trump’s indictment late Monday in
Georgia for trying to overturn the 2020 election—even though the former 2016
presidential candidate said she took no “satisfaction” in Trump’s fourth
indictment since March.

“I don’t feel any satisfaction,” Clinton told Rachel Maddow during MSNBC’s
widely-viewed 9:00 p.m. block. “I feel great—you know, just great, profound
sadness that we have a former president who has been indicted for so many
charges that went right to the heart of whether or not our democracy would
survive.”

“This is a terrible moment for our country, to have a former president accused
of these terribly important crimes,” the former secretary of state added. “The
only satisfaction may be that the system is working.”

Yet it was Clinton laughing when Maddow introduced her that irked the likes of
Kayleigh McEnany, co-host of the Fox News midday show Outnumbered, as well as
Fox News contributor Tomi Lahren. Lara Trump and Newsmax host Eric Bolling also
couldn’t resist complaining about Clinton’s apparent glee at the beginning of
her interview.

“It’s so gross to see her laughing, positively giddy,” McEnany, Trump’s former
White House press secretary, said on Fox. “Watching Hillary Clinton laugh…this
isn’t a laughing moment. It’s a sad moment for our country, and I think that’s
something we should all agree on.”



A few hours later on The Story with Martha MacCallum, Lahren offered a similar
take.

“It’s no doubt she’s gleeful about this. But hatred is also obsession, and
Hillary Clinton happens to be obsessed with Donald Trump,” she claimed, adding
that the indictment of Trump and 18 others amounts to a “dark day” for the
nation.

Meanwhile, over on Hannity, Lara Trump likewise declared that the fourth
indictment of her father-in-law isn’t in any way humorous.

“She led into that interview with Rachel Maddow, by the way, laughing. She was
laughing about this last night!” Trump griped. “Let me tell you something: there
is nothing funny about this.”

Clinton was also mentioned in the same light over on Newsmax by Bolling.

“Hillary is certainly enjoying this moment a little too much, isn’t she?” he
asked during his opening monologue before rolling the tape.

After being indicted in New York, Florida, Washington, D.C and now Georgia,
Trump, who in 2016 threatened to jail Clinton if he were to become president,
faces 91 criminal charges.
