As America’s energy demands grow exponentially, the country won’t be able to keep up without more nuclear power. It’s also flirting with relaxing radiation standards and eliminating some over-the-top security requirements at nuclear plants. That has forced operators to incorporate concrete shields into their reactor designs, which raise costs and limit how long employees can work at a given time. The science underpinning the radiation rule is mushy, at best. Meanwhile, coal plants are subject to no standards on radiation, even though they release far greater levels of radioactive material to the public than nuclear plants.

The poll nonetheless shows Americans are increasingly uncomfortable with how that campaign is being carried out. Just over three-quarters of Americans overall, including a majority of Republicans, say federal officers should be required to obtain a warrant signed by a judge to force their way into a private residence. The poll also underscores the extent to which large numbers of Americans are living in fear of the deportation dragnet. He was among those who participated in the poll and said he opposed the expanded ICE detentions and the tactics used by ICE officers.

With a focus on voter-centered improvements, the R Street Institute promotes changes that strengthen election participation while maintaining confidence in democratic processes. SB 176 would expand the use of ranked-choice voting beyond county boards of supervisors and city councils, and would repeal Virginia’s sunset provision for the state law authorizing ranked-choice voting.

For these reasons, I urge you to support SB 176. [2] Matthew Germer, “Restoring Losers’ Consent: A Necessary Step To Stabilizing Our Democracy,” R Street Policy Study No.

How can this be part of Make America Great Again?

Kentucky’s hardworking taxpayers are getting royally ripped off by their Democrat governor’s administration, and now they have the receipts to prove it. Republican State Auditor Allison Ball just dropped a bombshell report exposing the absolutely outrageous luxury spending happening in Andy Beshear’s executive branch, according to Fox News. Ball fired right back, making it crystal clear that transparency is her job, not protecting politicians who treat public funds like their personal piggy bank. She pointed out that while governors absolutely need security, there’s a huge difference between necessary protection and living like royalty on the taxpayers’ tab. This is the same Democrat who thinks he can lecture America about “restoring the American dream” while burning through millions in public funds on luxury trips and VIP parties.
