On Tuesday, PJM's system could face one of its highest stress moments of the year, as system-wide capacity saturation is forecast to exceed 170 GW Forecast demand is well below summer highs, but demand alone is not enough to assess overall risk amidst ~60 GW of shoulder season outages 🔌💡

🚨 Seven US senators from both parties say Trump broke the law by greenlighting Russian diesel imports, pointing to a 2022 ban meant to stop American $$ from bankrolling Russia's war & accusing regime of skipping Congress entirely. Russian blood diesel ship ETA in 3 hours at Wilmington, NC! 🧵

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

James Nycz
Ranking Member Shaheen and
Six Bipartisan Senators' Statement on Legality of Imports of Russian Diesel Fuel
WASHINGTON - Today, U.S. Senators Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Ranking Member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Susan Collins (R-ME), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Ron Wyden (D-OR), Thom Tillis (R-NC) and John Curtis (R-UT) issued a statement regarding the legality of Russian diesel fuel imports to the United States.
"Congress explicitly banned Russian energy imports in 2022 to prevent American dollars from financing Putin's brutal war against Ukraine. Congress was clear: the U.S. should not import oil from Russia until it ends its aggression against Ukraine and ceases threats against our NATO Allies.
"President Trump's decision to allow Russian diesel imports to the U.S. runs directly counter to that law. The Administration has also failed to consult with Congress or submit any explanation to justify its decision as required by statute.
"The United States should not provide Putin with a financial lifeline while Russia continues to kill Ukrainian civilians. The Administration must immediately reverse course."

I LOVE how @propublica.org dealt with official comment here, editorially and stylistically.
The Trump administration says none of this is happening. 

"DHS is NOT arresting U.S. citizens by mistake." "There are no 'indiscriminate' stops." Allegations of "racial profiling are disgusting, reckless and categorically FALSE." "The pattern is NOT of law enforcement using force." "ICE does not zip tie or restrain children." 

But that is precisely what is happening, and at a far larger scale than previously reported.

If you want to understand why schools didn’t revolutionize their sexual violence response to fix things, college presidents unilaterally deciding that it wasn’t worth the effort is a huge part of the story.

"An ambulance was seen arriving at the prison where Pike was to be executed and then leaving. Medical aid was being administered, according to online federal court records." The utter absurdity of the state trying twice to kill someone and then calling an ambulance. We must end the death penalty.
