The United States has approved a satellite designed to beam light down to Earth at night.

The Federal Communications Commission recently granted a demonstration license to the startup Reflect Orbital for its Earendil-1 satellite. The craft is intended to use an orbital mirror to redirect sunlight onto Earth during nighttime hours.

Despite strong opposition from scientists and environmental groups, the FCC stated that assessing light pollution, interference with telescopes, and other non-radio environmental effects lies entirely outside its regulatory authority. The ruling therefore allows the test to proceed without any formal evaluation of its optical impacts, creating a clear gap in federal oversight as private companies move to commercialize artificial lighting from space.

Astronomers and conservation organizations have expressed deep concern about the precedent this decision establishes. The American Astronomical Society has cautioned that the technology could cause catastrophic interference with federally funded research. Groups such as Dark Sky International highlight the harmful effects of artificial night lighting on human circadian rhythms and nocturnal wildlife.

If Reflect Orbital’s demonstration succeeds, the company plans to launch as many as 50,000 mirror satellites by 2035. Critics warn that a constellation of that size would permanently brighten the planet’s darkest skies and render ground-based astronomical observations virtually impossible.

BREAKING: Doug Ford FIRES BACK at Trump’s Canada tariffs by cutting U.S. companies out of Ontario contracts — and ripping up its Starlink deal.

A petulant Donald Trump wants a trade war with Canada. Now, Ontario Premier Doug Ford just showed him exactly what that actually costs.

Responding to Trump's new 50% tariffs on Canadian goods, Ford announced Ontario is banning all U.S.-based companies from participating in the province's government procurement contracts, effective immediately.

This isn't small change: Ontario and its agencies spend approximately $30 billion annually on procurement, layered on top of a massive $200 billion infrastructure plan. American businesses just lost access to tens of billions of dollars in potential revenue.

"They only have President Trump to blame," Ford said bluntly.

But Ford didn't stop there. In a move dripping with well-deserved symbolism, Ontario is completely tearing up its contract with Starlink — Elon Musk's satellite internet company. "It's done, it's gone," Ford declared.

The message is unmistakable: Ontario isn't interested in enriching companies tied to an administration actively waging economic war against Canadian workers and families.

"We won't award contracts to people who enable and encourage economic attacks on our province and our country," Ford said.

And Ford isn't going it alone. He's calling on all 444 municipalities across Ontario to adopt the same procurement ban, with cities like Brampton, led by Mayor Patrick Brown, already stepping up to join the fight.

This is shaping up as a coordinated, province-wide — and potentially nationwide — economic response, with Ford explicitly framing it as part of "Team Canada's" opening salvo against Trump's tariffs.

Let's be clear about what's happening here.

Trump picked this fight, hitting Canadian goods with punishing tariffs over shifting, often contradictory justifications, from wildfire smoke to retaliatory grievances over alcohol sales.

Ontario isn't backing down or begging for mercy. It's hitting back, strategically and forcefully, by cutting American companies out of tens of billions in Canadian taxpayer dollars.

Trump wanted Canada to come "running back," as he put it. Instead, he's getting a united, defiant response that's going to cost American businesses dearly.

And meanwhile, who is going to ultimately pay that 50% tariff on imported Canadian goods? American consumers, that’s who.

There goes Trump, driving up inflation once again

Fmr DOJ pardon attorney @lawyeroyer : "Trump is granting pardons on the basis of personal relationships, political connections and wealth. It is really a total perversion of the pardon power. They're back out in the community and they go on to commit new crimes that are dangerous and harmful to real people because they received this clemency from the president"

We can’t survive without clean rivers.
We can’t survive without fertile soil.

we still act as if humans exist separately from nature.

Garcia hits Trump with a brutal reality check: Donald Trump claims to be the biggest, most successful builder of all time, but he can't even refurbish a pool.

Trump also likes to talk about vandals in D.C. and crime in D.C., and all the vandalism that he sees wherever he goes. Well, the biggest vandal in Washington, D.C., is the president of the United States.

He's corrupt. He's incompetent. He's ripping off the taxpayer. He's obsessed with himself and only himself. And he's willing to destroy important American institutions for his own grievances and his own vanity and narcissism.
