The unsigned, unexplained administrative stay to revive ICE jackboot tactics. I dont care if it's the procedural norm for administrative stays- it's normatively fucked. Fash rely on procedural formality and strategic opacity to avoid accountability, while the courts pretend temporary = harmless
Unsigned ruling from the 8th circuit court of appeals reading, "the motion for an administrative stay of the preliminary injunction issued by the district Court pending the Court's consideration of the Government's motion for a stay pending appeal is granted."

The EPA's air quality standard limits PM2.5 to 9 µg/m3. WHO guidelines are 5 µg/m3 annually, not to exceed 15 µg/m3 more than 3-4 days a year. North Omaha, our historically reclined district and home to a subbitiminous coal plant, is currently at 39.26 µg/m3
The Weather Channel page for Omaha, Nebraska, listing the Air Quality Index (AQI) at 110. The primary pollutant is PM 2.5, at the full 110 AQI, which equates to 39.26 micrograms per cubic meter.

This is pretty wild: climate funds are being used to expand highways. It is justified on the grounds that more lanes = fewer idling cars = less emissions The only really surprising thing here is that they aren't selling lane widening carbon offsets www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...
The Idling Argument
In Texas — the top carbon emitter among US states — the Texas Department of Transportation has been particularly enthusiastic about turning federal funds into freeway lanes. The agency’s Carbon Reduction Strategy details how “reducing vehicle idling due to delay” can “improve the operational efficiency of the transportation system” and thus reduce emissions. A spokesperson for the state agency says that TxDOT could use Carbon Reduction Program funds for new high-occupancy lanes but not lanes for single-occupancy vehicles. The spokesperson added that adding lanes in general is one of its strategies to lower congestion and thus lower emissions.

TxDOT’s carbon reduction plan attaches specific greenhouse gas benchmarks to several projects: Widening a stretch of State Highway 46 outside of San Antonio, for example, would save 2,471.91 kilograms (5,450 lbs) of carbon every day, the agency estimates.

The notion that alleviating traffic congestion can reduce carbon emissi
