Renewable power advocates say the court ruling is a major win for both solar power and individual property rights

The Trump admin has secretly rewritten nuclear safety rules. The changes were made to accelerate development of a new generation of nuclear reactor designs. "They're taking a wrecking ball to the system of nuclear safety and security regulation". What could go wrong? www.npr.org/2026/01/28/n...

First wrongful death lawsuit filed against Trump administration over drug boat strikes. The families of two Trinidadian men who were killed in an Oct14 strike on an alleged drug boat accused the US in a lawsuit Tuesday of wrongful death and extrajudicial killings. www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

“For all its military and economic strength, the US has one key weakness: It relies on others to pay its bills via large external deficits.” www.rawstory.com/trump-greenl...

See something. Say something.

'A coordinator monitors channels on Signal for reported ICE sightings. 'Volunteers organize around a school, during drop-off and pick-up. Mobile patrol teams use bikes or cars. 'Local businesses have agreed to be “safe haven sites” for anyone in need of protection from ICE.'

"The 'overgrown influence' of extreme wealth, wrote Thomas Paine in 1792, was 'one of the principal sources of corruption at elections.'… Our deeply oligarchic times have vindicated the warning from Paine, whose pamphlet 'Common Sense' helped spark the American Revolution."

71.5% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to government data. Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.” As Trump's regime terrorizes communities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of his biggest donors are private prison corporations.

"Well, they can't start nuclear testing now because the officials that would be in charge of that have mostly been furloughed."

Wow. "Months after law firms made deals with President Trump to ward off punitive executive orders, the ethics committee of the District of Columbia Bar is warning that such arrangements may require firms to drop or obtain waivers from all clients who have interests at odds with the government."

"If there were adults in the room and I could trust the federal government to impose the right standards, it wouldn't be such a great concern, but it just doesn't seem feasible."

For folks asking if they've made it *inside* a Home Depot yet as the business has clearly just continued letting agents do whatever they want in their lots, the answer is yes. This is from yesterday in Evanston.

Here’s what’s at stake in the shutdown: If Republicans get their way, 50,000 Americans will die unnecessarily every year. 15 million will lose their health care. 20 million will see their premiums double. All so they can give a trillion dollar tax break to the 1%.

Gives whole new meaning to "buying an election."

The Fed is flying blind. The government shutdown has cut off data on jobs and prices—leaving the Fed to make decisions that affect prices and borrowing costs without the info it needs. @mikemadowitz.bsky.social spoke w/ @ddayen.bsky.social on what it means in @prospect.org https://bit.ly/3WLrzzU

A federal court judge found consultation was inadequate on plans for an Ontario nuclear waste site near Chalk River. Canadian Nuclear Laboratories wants the ruling overturned.

Americans have a clear message for Republicans who shut down our government: CANCEL THE CUTS. LOWER THE COSTS. SAVE HEALTH CARE.

NEW: ICE remains mum regarding prosecutor exposed as white supremacist. "They want to signal to the other white supremacists...out there that under this administration things are going to be different and you’re not going to have to worry about losing your job" www.texasobserver.org/ice-white-su...

Regulators the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) and the Environment Agency have raised concerns about uncertainty facing Nuclear Waste Services (NWS’s) geological disposal facility (GDF) programme Full story:

Trump solved his problem of having to present actual proof that the people they have been murdering on boats are narco terrorists by letting the two witness survivors of the last attack go home. As one does with narco terrorists.

Trump's federal agents shot Marimar Martinez, a US citizen, multiple times for allegedly menacing them with her car in Chicago. Only hours later, Kristi Noem and DHS started spreading disinformation about the shooting. Now the official line is crumbling. 1/ (link) newrepublic.com/article/2019...

“They literally ushered us into the street to protest and immediately after started beating the shit out of us.”

US – Scana Nuclear Collapse. Red flags and mounting problems with the construction of two nuclear reactors led to jail time for its chief executive and pushed Westinghouse #nuclear into bankruptcy. www.ft.com/content/f9fc...

Now updated: The 'Presumption of Regularity' study. 1. Noncompliance with judicial orders: 20 cases 2. Courts’ distrust of DOJ information: 43+ cases 3. Courts’ findings of “arbitrary and capricious” conduct: 58 cases www.justsecurity.org/120547/presu...

Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly. Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested. Stay safe out there.

"We have to draw a line in the sand, respectfully, firmly, and without equivocation. This is not normal. This is not American, and this is not what the military is for," said Janessa Goldbeck, a Marine Corps veteran and the CEO of Vet Voice Foundation.

"Five states—Kansas, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, and Oklahoma—this year have enacted income tax cuts for families that earn over $1 million per year that are projected to collectively reduce their state governments’ revenues by $2.2 billion per year once fully implemented."

"The landmark move at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Hanford Site comes nearly 2 decades later than first promised because of technical problems, cost overruns, and missed deadlines."
