Reducing rampant pollution across the United States was so important that when Congress passed many environmental protection laws, including the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and Safe Drinking Water Act, it didn't want to leave enforcement only to the executive branch.
Tesla has recalled its Cybertruck 11 times to fix issues such as exterior trim panels falling off and an accelerator pedal that can become stuck, but NASA has nonetheless decided the rust-prone vehicle is up to the job of rescuing astronauts if trouble strikes on the launchpad of a forthcoming crewed mission.
U.S. President Donald Trump repeatedly campaigned for his second term as a champion of free expression, vowing in his January 2025 inaugural address to stop what he described as years of "government censorship." Since then, a wave of court rulings has concluded his administration has done the opposite. Reuters identified 75 federal-judge rulings finding Trump's government infringed on First-Amendment rights including freedoms of speech, religion, and the press.
Spokane County Sheriff's Office Major Crimes Detectives and Washington State Department of Natural Resources Fire Investigators have identified and arrested Aaron F. Farinacci (37), a convicted felon, for Arson 1st Degree as a suspect in connection with the devastating Old Trails Fire.
This madman allegedly caused a catastrophe
I have covered the energy market's evolution through the Iran-Iraq War, from Chevron CEO Mike Wirth's early warnings about depleting buffers to Shell's CEO describing the diesel and gasoline squeeze that emerged as refineries pivoted to jet fuel. On July 31, ExxonMobil Chairman and CEO Darren Woods also added the most analytically precise observation I have heard from an oil executive. There is a disconnect between crude prices and pump prices.
Although the United States has been the world's preeminent military power for decades, it apparently cannot fight a regional power such as Iran for more than a few months before experiencing an armaments crisis. Since hostilities with Tehran began on February 28, the U.S. has reportedly used up two-thirds of its Patriot missile interceptors, more than a third of its Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) interceptors, and a third or more of its prewar stock of Tomahawk cruise missiles. The rate of consumption is all the more striking because a shaky cease-fire had halted most fighting for months. Based on recent production patterns, replenishing the supply of weaponry will take several years. Read more
SpaceX and the Red State of Louisiana are close to finalizing a deal for the launch company to acquire about 130,000 acres along the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico, an 18-mile stretch of marshland southwest of Lafayette.
More horrible toxic environmental degradation coming from the world's worst person
The "Ring Boys" scandal is another Jeffrey Epstein-type of cover up
Twenty five US states sued the administration of US President Donald Trump on Monday over new tariffs of 10% to 12.5% on goods from 60 trading partners. The tariffs came into effect in July, targeting countries including the UK and China as well as the European Union, over Washington's contention that they have failed to properly tackle forced labour. In a legal document seen by the BBC, the coalition of Democratic states said the decision was "arbitrary, capricious, and contrary to law."
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has announced that they shot down a sophisticated USAF MQ-9 Reaper drone over the Strait of Hormuz using a "modern and advanced" air defense system. Two dozen MQ-9s have been destroyed since the start of the illegal and reckless US war against Iran on Israel's behalf, nearly 20% of the DOD pre-war inventory. At $30m per airframe, the total cost to the American taxpayer is estimated at approximately $1 billion. General Atomics, the manufacturer, has confirmed that fewer than ten new airframes remain available for purchase and the production line for the MQ-9A has been shut down.

It makes it easy to trick them into doing things they shouldn't, such as telling you how to sabotage an aircraft's navigation system.
It is impossible to make large language models fully secure against hacks because of a fundamental flaw in how they work, a team of researchers argue in a paper presented at the International Conference on Machine Learning, a top AI conference, this month.
The claim has huge implications for the safety of this technology, which is being used in more and more applications, from government and military systems to online shopping and health care.
The White House was directly involved in acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's order to formally rescind the president's $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" fund, multiple sources familiar with the matter told CNN.
President Donald Trump was aware of the deal struck between Blanche and the two key holdout Senate Republicans on his nomination, John Cornyn and Thom Tillis, to formally rescind the controversial fund and limit a prior agreement with the IRS regarding tax investigations into the president and his family members to retroactive actions, the official said.
New bombshell reporting by Wired reveals an incident in which the testing of an experimental GPS jammer resulted in a medical plane crashing into the side of a mountain. The horrifying incident happened in May, the publication reports, when a small twin-engine medevac aircraft carrying two pilots and two medical workers departed from Roswell, New Mexico. Heading West for the small mountain village of Ruidoso, the crew became the victim of an electronic warfare exercise being conducted at the nearby White Sands Missile Range, a test which rendered their navigational system inoperable.

Ex-FBI SA Patrick Steven Yaroch was arrested and charged with stealing approximately $1 million belonging to foreign adversaries, using sensitive intelligence he accessed through bureau systems. Stationed in Ashburn, VA, this former FBI counterintelligence agent allegedly executed 10 to 12 transactions beginning in late 2024 to move digital assets from foreign adversarial wallets into his own accounts. His scheme unraveled when he confessed to a colleague during a "crisis of conscience" on 28 July 2026.
Imagine throwing away a prestigious career and robust pension?
Pam Bondi sold as much as $5.5 million in Trump Media securities on April 2, 2025, and hours later Trump announced the tariffs that sank the stock she had just left. This is what open-air insider trading looks like, and insider trading, in case you didn't know, is very illegal, a felony carrying up to twenty years per count. The ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee referred it for investigation. We know why the federal government did nothing: Bondi ran the department that would have investigated her. The question this piece asks is why, fourteen months later, no New York prosecutor has opened a case.
