Trump is asking the Court to nullify what he owes E. Jean Carroll, after he was found to have defamed her after raping her - because he was president when he slandered her. Yeah, the same Court that made this malignancy think he's immune from any laws or judgements. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

GOP sues California over ballot language that accurately describes voter ID measure

A contractor building Meta's data center flushed its "closed-loop" cooling system straight into Cheyenne's sewer. It carried a bacterium and knocked the city's water-reuse system offline for months. They sell these as sealed systems that barely touch the water. This one poisoned a city's.
