President Trump just ordered U.S. flags lowered to half-staff nationwide for a full week in honor of Dolly Parton.

That is extremely special. Presidential half-staff orders are almost always reserved for presidents, vice presidents, justices, members of Congress, governors, or major national tragedies. Pure entertainers and cultural icons almost never get a nationwide presidential directive like this!

Whitney Houston only got state-level recognition in New Jersey, and even Elvis didn’t receive a formal federal order of this scope.

A weeklong national tribute for the Queen of Country is genuinely rare. It underscores just how deeply her music, philanthropy, and larger-than-life presence cut across America.

Dolly Parton charmed The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson on September 19, 1979, by performing an original tribute song titled "(I Never Really Made It Till) The Johnny Carson Show" directly to the host.

Caitlin Clark just helped deliver a TV audience the WNBA hasn't seen in nearly three decades.

The Indiana Fever's 113-90 win over the Chicago Sky averaged 3.31 million viewers and peaked at 3.82 million, making it the most-watched WNBA regular-season game since 1997 and the third-most-watched ever.

Clark delivered with 37 points, eight 3-pointers and 10 assists, as the DiJonai Carrington rivalry and Enes Kanter Freedom's courtside confrontation added even more heat to the matchup.

The government is telling you that you're going to eat foreign ground beef and you're gonna like it and it's gonna lower beef prices.

That's about as America LAST as we can get when the president is undercutting our own ranchers.
This is outrageous. 🚨

As America's largest transportation labor federation, we applaud this decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals to uphold the two-person crew rule. This common-sense rail safety provision protects workers and communities across the country.

[Andrew Thompson @RailLawAtty]

Federal Railroad Administration rule mandating 2-person train crews (with some exceptions) is upheld by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. The decision is a victory for rail labor and promotes safety throughout the industry https://t.co/gQ7LSddCvy

[Friends of Coal-KY @FriendsofCoalKY]

Kentucky has two coalfields. The Eastern field covers 31 counties and about a third of the state, across the mountains and the Plateau. The Western field lies across the state in the Illinois Basin, near the Green and Ohio. One state, built on both. #FriendsOfCoal

[ACC @AmericanCoal]

HOW MANY SOLAR PANELS WOULD IT TAKE TO REPLACE ONE COAL POWER PLANT?
That said, a useful way to frame this question is to pick a specific coal plant size. Let's use a 500-megawatt coal plant, which is a mid-sized plant in the U.S. If you compare raw nameplate capacity, and you assume modern 500-watt solar panels, you'd need about 1,000,000 panels just to match 500 megawatts at a single moment. That's the easy part. The harder part is replacing the coal plant's actual energy output over a full year, because the coal plant can run at a much higher utilization level (also known as capacity factor) than solar. This is just the amount of energy a plant generates compared to how much it could generate if it ran at 100 percent capacity.

I don’t know how anyone else feels, but I think Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White are the biggest heroes for all the women in the WNBA.
