SCOOP: The Bureau of Land Management says the largest solar project in Nevada — the Esmeralda 7 mega-farm — has been canceled

The news was quietly dropped via a sudden website update with no public word from any of the companies involved or a statement from the agency

It would have delivered a gargantuan 6.2 gigawatts of power.

Congratulations to Maria Corina Machado, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize - her incredible optimism has already changed her country. I spoke to her, and wrote about her, at the beginning of this year:

If you rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, then bomb fishing boats in the Caribbean, and shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper bullet, you should automatically be barred from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for the rest of your life.

Conversely, if this asshole gets awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, it will just confirm that our struggle is a global one. Bootlicking quislings are everywhere, including at the top of international organizations.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Keep your corrupt, grubby, abusive hands off Tish James, Donald Trump.

Your cowardice is showing — weak men seek revenge on powerful women who hold them to account.

But NY’rs don’t play. Our AG has been a fierce warrior for our rights, time & again. You better believe we’ll be there for hers.

Among non-contenders, Rosie O'Donnell.

The Discord age-verification hack is much worse than was originally reported. 70,000 users were affected, with images of IDs, selfies, user names, IP addresses and, in some cases, financial details.

Hackers are posting screenshots from over 1.5 terabytes of stolen data.

Years ago I was teaching my gun history class and at the end of the quarter one of the students said that he was in the campus TPUSA chapter and they put him up to taking the class to spy on me but he felt bad about that because he loved the class and learned a lot and had a great time

It’s not racial profiling, it’s reasonable suspicion, we simply think anyone with darker skin tones is suspicious and that this belief is reasonable, so it’s not racial profiling, how dare you.

McLaughlin: "Pritzker said there's racial profiling, which is absolutely false. Our officials use reasonable suspicion. That's protected under the US Constitution 4th Amendment."

The Trump administration has finalized plans to provide a $20 billion lifeline to Argentina, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said. Additionally, the US “directly” purchased Argentine pesos, Bessent said, a move that marks the latest step in an attempt to stabilize the country’s financial market.

The Senate has just passed the military NDAA containing 2 anti-trans provisions: a surgery ban using federal funds (dependents too), and a sports ban on military academy spaces.

This will be the STARTING point for negotiations with the House, which has even worse provisions.

Only 20 Dems opposed.
