  • EU deforestation rules shaping U.S. timber contracts, hitting ag land conversions

    12/08/2025 12:25:03 PM PST · by Tench_Coxe · 12 replies
    A procurement forester was preparing to clear timber from part of some 300 acres of Mississippi land in August. But when he passed along the coordinates of the land parcel to the buyer – a standard traceability practice – the buyer suddenly asked a question he wasn’t expecting.The buyer was Georgia-Pacific, one of the world’s largest producers and distributors of paper, pulp, tissues, packaging and other forestry products, and the predominant buyer of Mississippi-grown timber. But the company had noted that the landowner had converted some land from timber production to another agricultural use in 2024. If the owner had...

    Alina Habba, a fiery Trump loyalist, is stepping down from her role as top prosecutor in New Jersey after an appellate court found last week that Attorney General Pam Bondi had improperly appointed her as U.S. attorney. Bondi announced Monday Habba would serve as the attorney general's senior advisor overseeing U.S. attorneys, while three Department of Justice officials are set to take on additional jobs overseeing various activities in the New Jersey court district in the wake of Habba's resignation. Habba served as President Donald Trump's personal defense lawyer before the president installed her this year as the temporary head...
  • How should we deal with space junk? Space recycling, of course!

    Sometimes, what goes up doesn’t come back down — instead, it becomes a problem. Junk is accumulating in space at a fantastic pace, millions of pieces orbit the Earth, from broken satellites to lost screws and tiny hunks of splintered paint. The International Space Station has to dodge it. Sometimes, space junk crashes into other space junk, creating more space junk. And while there have been many proposals for technologies to capture and destroy it, there’s not been a system-level plan for dealing with it in a comprehensive way. This week, researchers at England’s University of Surrey published a paper...

    American singer Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have hard-launched their relationship on social media, laying to rest months of dating rumors. Perry, a 13-time Grammy nominee, posted on Saturday a video on Instagram that showed her eating sushi in Tokyo as Trudeau, with his arm behind her, looked on with an amorous gaze. “Tokyo times on tour and more,” Perry wrote in the caption of a carousel that included the video and also a selfie with Trudeau. The pop star was performing last week in Saitama, about 15 miles north of Tokyo, as part of her...

  • Trump Rages Against House Democrat He Just Pardoned: ‘Such a Lack of LOYALTY!’

    President Donald Trump fumed about a House Democrat — who he just pardoned — choosing to remain with the party rather than defect to the Republicans. In a blistering post to Truth Social early Sunday, the president bashed Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) for announcing his intent to run for re-election as a Democrat, despite receiving a pardon from the president. Cuellar was facing charges for allegedly taking over $600,000 in foreign bribes. (The congressman’s wife, Imelda, was also charged in connection with the scheme.) “Can you imagine???” Trump wrote. “The Democrats, under the Crooked Joe Biden Administration, who always use...

    AT&T has vowed to scrap its DEI policies, including a worker training program that labeled racism as a “uniquely white trait.” The telecommunication giant’s sudden change of heart on policies that discriminate against white men comes after pressure from FCC Chairman Brendar Carr. The New York Post reports that AT&T, the Dallas-based telecom company with over 110,000 employees in the United States, has announced its decision to eliminate its DEI policies. This move comes in response to pressure from FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, who has made it clear that companies will not be approved for crucial FCC licenses until they...

    DrOzCMS@DrOzCMS·8hYou’ve probably heard the news by now: Minnesota fraudsters stole over $1 billion from Medicaid. And you deserve an explanation.Our staff at CMS told me they’ve never seen anything like this in Medicaid — and everyone from Gov. Tim Walz on down needs to be investigated, because they’ve been asleep at the wheel. Based on what we know now, this is a clear dereliction of duty.First, the facts:In recent years, Minnesota Medicaid launched several new programs, including Housing Stabilization Services, which helped disabled homeless individuals, and Early Intensive Developmental and Behavioral Intervention, which reimbursed therapy costs for families with autistic...
  • If you were a victim of the WEP, were you fully reimbursed? (vanity)

    If you are a retired police officer, fireman, or teacher, and also paid into Social Security prior to Jan 2024, it's likely the government still owes you money. The WEP was eliminated on 01/05/2025, and the government issued reimbursements to people who were affected by the WEP going back to 01/01/2024. But, if you retired between April 21, 1983, and December 31, 2023, what about all that time? In some cases, that could amount to tens of thousands of dollars. Do some research, and don't let the government off the hook. You were robbed! Determine if you were affected by...

    Our entire safety net is designed to catch people at the very bottom, but it sets a trap for anyone trying to climb out. As income rises from $40,000 to $100,000, benefits disappear faster than wages increase. I call this The Valley of Death. Let’s look at the transition for a family in New Jersey: 1. The View from $35,000 (The “Official” Poor) At this income, the family is struggling, but the state provides a floor. They qualify for Medicaid (free healthcare). They receive SNAP (food stamps). They receive heavy childcare subsidies. Their deficits are real, but capped. Every dollar...

Colorado will not help Donald Trump undermine our elections and hurt the American people.” The U.S. Department of Justice asked Colorado to share unredacted voter information, according to Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold, and the state “Will Not Comply"
