The Energy News Beat has several podcasts about the refinery, lawsuits, and energy policy overreach coming out in the next few days. Newsom’s Regulatory Overreach: From EVs to Gas BansUnder Governor Newsom, California has pursued an ambitious zero-emissions agenda, aiming for carbon neutrality by 2045. Even Democratic lawmakers have reconsidered refinery rules, warning of gas price hikes and supply shortages. California’s gas prices are double the national average—over $1 per gallon in state taxes alone—due to regulations that have chased refineries out, reducing supply and spiking costs. However, supply chain disruptions from California’s rules could inflate regional fuel prices, as seen in Nevada’s opposition to refinery regs.

At this point, it is undeniable that wholesale regime change is the most desirable outcome for the conflict in Iran. The pursuit of regime change as a goal unto itself is often now disparaged, coming in the aftermath of the failed neoconservative boondoggles earlier this century. But it’s entirely possible full-scale regime change won’t happen. And some experts predict that such an arrangement will characterize the regime in Iran a year or two from now. AdvertisementThe cleanest solution to the Iran quagmire at this particular juncture — and the one that most clearly fulfills Trump’s “unconditional surrender” victory criterion — is indeed full-scale regime change.

ROME — It was a spotlight moment for Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni to defend her warm ties to President Donald Trump. “Senator Calenda, frankly, I don’t consider your assessments of President Trump far-fetched,” she said. “This war is very unpopular.”Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, a center-left socialist, has made headlines by standing up to the Trump administration on the war in Iran. “Nothing has changed in the relationship between Italy and the U.S., Meloni and Trump,” Procaccini said. The optics of a Meloni-Trump friendship played mostly well here — an example of how Italy’s first female prime minister, and its most stable since Berlusconi, was elevating Italy’s stature and importance.

And detailed further by CNN that Russia was providing Iran with satellite intelligence about US movements. Russian intelligence sharing with Iran has until now been reported as general assistance with targeting, but specific tactical advice is a new level of support. “I can tell you that yesterday, on the call with the president, the Russians said they have not been sharing,” Witkoff said. Ushakov, in that call, “reiterated the same,” that Russia is not sharing intelligence with Iran, Witkoff said. Wednesday, as service members continue to risk their lives in Trump’s illegal war, Witkoff and Kirill Dmitriev met in Miami to discuss business deals.

The average adult only gets three night’s good sleep a week, research from the Mental Health Foundation found. But what is good sleep to begin with, and how can we improve ours? AdvertisementWhat is “good sleep” anyway? The two most common sleep mistakes Dr Bostock sees are from “either ends of the ‘sleep worry’ spectrum,” she said. Luckily, Dr Bostock said that getting better sleep is usually easier than most of us imagine.

One of the first priorities is to protect and reinvigorate civic education in public schools — particularly those serving the most diverse and historically marginalized populations. Amid systematic attacks on public education, basic and sound civic education is no longer a guarantee, and local leaders must be held accountable to ensure access to strong curricula. Out-of-school time civic education and participatory engagement programs need to be designed and run all over the country. Young people need to rally around the idea of representative democracy. I’ve said before, the entire youth civic ecosystem must be reformed — a project that is decades of work in the making.

The videos, not unsurprisingly, often end with a plea for donations to support further investigations into nefarious plots. They are fables posing as journalism, just the sort of propagandistic misinformation that their purveyors pretend to be uncovering. Meanwhile, real journalists are reporting real stories about real situations that officialdom is really trying to conceal or minimize, as a few recent examples demonstrate. Abridged discovered that Caltrans had kept secret the reason for a two-year delay in the completion of a project to improve Highway 50, one of Saramento’s busiest freeways. These are examples of real journalism, not the phony YouTube videos, and the public should understand and value the difference.

Sheehy has been in the news lately for killing a decades-old solar energy tax credit when his own home uses solar power. Sheehy’s spokesperson declined to tell reporters if he had used the tax credit for 26% of the system’s cost. The arm of Brian McGinnis, a Marine Corps veteran who was wearing his dress uniform, was stuck behind the door. And yet by the end of 2025, he had already given $20 million to Republicans to prepare for the 2026 elections. In contrast, Trump promised billionaires he would extend the 2017 tax cuts that benefited the wealthy and corporations.

I just took shots for no reason.”AdvertisementNow, prolific stage actor Nathan has weighed in, branding Timothée a “schmuck” for his controversial comments. “One doesn’t want to give this more attention than it deserves,” Nathan told anchor Whoopi Goldberg. “Then I realised, ’Oh, he’s still promoting that movie, that endless ping-pong movie,” Nathan said, referring to Marty Supreme before doling out a withering takedown. Advertisement“I got news for Timmy: If you think nobody cares about opera and ballet, I can’t tell you how much we don’t care about ping-pong,” he then told Whoopi and the rest of the panel. Nathan isn’t the first celebrity to publicly deride Timothée for his comments, after Whoopi herself responded, along with Jamie Lee Curtis and Andrea Bocelli.
