Hinkley Point C might be delayed again.
Why? Because Natural England say the £700 million spent on fish protection at Britain's next nuclear power station is not enough.
We can't go on like this.
Not so long ago Christians were being told not to wear a cross at work, the NHS was one place where it happened. Now we are being told that carrying a knife is permitted if you are a Sikh. The contrast is stark and utterly indefensible.
JUST IN: The David Crowley for WI Governor campaign tells me it will return the $2,000, which fired Wisconsin Center District CEO Marty Brooks is alleged to have made with a WCD corporate card.
@Charlie6354 They were the only ones around here that kept offering public Mass when the 2020 thing had the parishes closing their doors. They're not my crew, but they'll always have my respect for that.
President @realDonaldTrump just re-affirmed his endorsement of our campaign!
President Trump knows the truth - Democrats and even some of the Republicans want to stop the policies that are making America great again!
We must get out and VOTE TOMORROW!
@RecessionAlert The overlapping graphs are, as usual, opaque,
but the accompanying text is clear, boding well
for the future of the economy; 'laissez-faire' for
sure, literally, 'let them all work'.
Recoveries don't announce themselves on the front page — they start in the plumbing, and the plumbing here is factory hours. The 8-factor cyclical labor index bottomed at -8.18 in May 2025 — an excursion that, in every prior modern cycle (1970-2020), sat inside a recession bar. This one did not. Instead it has climbed from December's -5.50 to +2.19 across five accelerating months, implied recession probability has collapsed from the mid-60s to 0.00%, and headline unemployment is pinned at 4.3%. Factories find a floor, hours extend before headcount, overtime absorbs the next marginal shift, openings rise, hiring follows — and the index captures that sequence eight months ahead of coincident payrolls, corroborated by ISM Manufacturing 54.0, JOLTS openings 7.6M, and May NFP +172k. Just 3 of 8 components have turned positive yet — the lead is narrow — but a soft landing confirmed at the leading edge is a different rate path, a different risk regime, and a different bill for anyone still positioned for the recession that never came.
For the first time in 123 years, Argentina has achieved a sustained fiscal surplus without being in default. We are one of only 5 countries in the world in this position.
LONG LIVE FREEDOM, DAMN IT...!!!
All the newsletter blogger types got all bulled up on grains at the absolute top
Will the same thing be said about the all commodity tracking index???
Just asking
E&E News was not a real news outlet. It was Greta Thunberg’s dear diary outlet run by radical eco-leftists that masqueraded as reporters.
Good riddance.
Last Friday, Alex Meyer @ALMeyer19 completed his last day as the leader of White House Intergovernmental Affairs. Alex solved problems and grew relationships with Governors, Attorney Generals, Member of Congress, State Legislators - elected officials across the country. Too many to count.
Alex was a critical part of our 2024 campaign, particularly leading President Trumps decisive Iowa victory in the Caucus which kicked off win after win in the campaign.
Alex returns now to the political world to helm important midterm races. Candidates are fortunate to have his talent.
The many across the country he helped navigate challenges in the White House continue to admire him and I look forward to continuing to collaborate along the way.
I wish Alex much good fortune and I’m offering my best wishes for many successes in the weeks and months ahead.
On Sunday, my friend Gordon Wood was struck and killed in a car accident. Gordon taught history at Brown Univ. and was among the most accomplished historians America has produced. He won the 1993 Pulitzer Prize for The Radicalism of the American Revolution, and his earlier book The Creation of the American Republic, 1776–1787 took the 1970 Bancroft Prize. He also received the National Humanities Medal.
He was, in my view, the finest historian of America's founding—which makes it all the sadder that he did not live to see the nation's 250th birthday. His reputation reached popular culture, too. Matt Damon's character in Good Will Hunting invokes him by name in the famous bar scene, accusing a Harvard student of simply "regurgitating Gordon Wood, talking about [...] the pre-Revolutionary utopia and the capital-forming effects of military mobilization."
I feel fortunate to have collaborated with Gordon on several projects. In a 2019 anthology I compiled, he wrote an essay on the possibility of a shared American narrative. He centered his argument on equal rights as "the most radical and most powerful ideological force" the Revolution unleashed. "This powerful sense of equality is still alive and well in America," he wrote, "and despite all of its disturbing and unsettling consequences, it is what makes us one people."
When I needed jacket blurbs for my new book Lincoln's Compass, coming out this November, I turned to Gordon. The fit was natural: the book argues that Abraham Lincoln took the Declaration's claim that "all men are created equal" as his guiding moral compass—and that he refocused the nation on that claim. Gordon, ever the gentleman, offered generous praise.
He was, in many respects, the dean of American historians. He will be very hard to replace.
.@SenMcCormickPA and I agree:
Steel is absolutely national and economic security, and we must protect it.
This $2 BILLION investment in the Mon Valley Works is great news for our community, our steelworkers, and the Union Way of Life.
