The federal government is proposing to overhaul radiation safety regulations for nuclear power, including by eliminating a long-term principle for nuclear safety. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) this week proposed to get rid of the requirement for nuclear plants to ensure that radiation exposure is “as low as is reasonably achievable.” Proponents of the change say just…

Conservative National Review slams MAGA for 'abuse of' Amy Coney Barrett

Many MAGA Republicans exploded in anger when conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett sided with Chief Justice John Roberts and three Democratic appointees — Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson — in Trump v. Barbara, which invalidated an executive order by President Donald Trump calling for an end to birthright citizenship. This wasn't the first time MAGA Republicans raged against Barrett, and an editorial by the conservative National Review calls out MAGA "abuse of" the Trump appointee.Barrett has a decidedly conservative resumé, describing herself as an "originalist" and an admirer of the late Justice Antonin Scalia. But her willingness to occasionally buck MAGA and vote with the Democratic justices is infuriating MAGA Republicans and Trump loyalists."Criticism comes, rightly, with the territory of being a Supreme Court justice," the National Review editors argue in their editorial. "Hysteria shouldn't. With the conclusion of the 2025–26 Supreme Court term and Donald Trump's defeat on birthright citizenship, we have been treated to another round of abuse from right-leaning commentators directed toward Justice Amy Coney Barrett. The immediate trigger of their ire is Barrett's joining the Trump v. Barbara majority (along with Chief Justice John Roberts and, on the outcome, Justice Brett Kavanaugh) striking down Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship."The Review editors continue, "Barrett critics also cite her majority opinion in Watson v. Republican National Committee, which allowed states to accept ballots postmarked by Election Day for up to five days later, as well as her vote, along with Roberts and Justice Neil Gorsuch, to strike down Trump's 'emergency' global tariffs and her rulings against Trump in a few of last summer's torrent of emergency decisions on deportations."On the MAGA far right, the conservative justice is often attacked as "Amy 'Commie' Barrett" — which is the type of rhetoric the Review is calling out."It's the intemperate vitriol of these attacks, and their utter lack of perspective, that appalls us," the Review editors lament. "Critics brand Barrett a traitor, a DEI hire and a left-winger who has doomed the country. They complain that she makes poor decisions because she is a woman and a mother of adopted children from Haiti. Perhaps more ominously, there is much muttering that future Republicans should fill judicial vacancies with fewer people devoted to the law and more who will be mere party apparatchiks, voting in the results-oriented fashion we traditionally associate with the liberal justices…. No, we don't always agree with her, or with the Court's decisions since her arrival in 2020 formed the current 6–3 majority."The Review editors continue, "Nor, for that matter, do we agree every single time with any of her distinguished colleagues. The Court's cases are often hard, and its justices fallible. That's why there are nine of them."

‘Not what I voted for’: Three-time Trump voter tears president apart

President Donald Trump has been gradually losing support among all but his most staunch supporters as the economy worsens and he is seen personally profiting from his office. Now one three-time Trump voter admitted to MS NOW that this is “not what I voted for.”“Are people starting to look at Donald Trump and say to themselves, ‘He's not worried about me, he's not concerned about me. He's just concerned about himself. All he does is talk about himself, talk about how great he is. He's putting his name on things, his picture on everything’?” MS NOW anchor Katy Tur said on Thursday. “But also, he's getting super rich while he's in the White House — I mean, really, really rich. That financial disclosure that came out a couple days ago: more than two billion dollars richer than he was last year after taking the White House.”After noting that Trump has particularly profited from cryptocurrency, Tur referred to footage of a three-time Trump voter in Florida who recently spoke with MS NOW correspondent Alex Talbot.“It's frustrating that you see your president getting richer and richer, and the middle class getting poorer,” the voter told Talbot. When asked if he had to pick one word to describe how he feels about Trump enriching himself while ignoring ordinary voters’ economic concerns, the voter replied that he is “confused, and a little disappointed. Not what I had hoped things would be when I voted for him.” He added, when asked if he feels richer or poorer since Trump took office, that he feels “poorer.”“Governor, what do you think about that?” Tur asked former Gov. Pat McCrory (R-NC).“The disappointing thing is not him getting rich,” McCrory told Tur. “The disappointing thing is he got rich on the backs of people who are getting ripped off on high commissions, because that's how they're making most of their money — on the trading of Bitcoin. And that's where the money is made, regardless of what happens to the price. And sadly, the price has gone down dramatically in the past year.”He continued, “So the people who have maybe allegiance to Donald Trump, and maybe thought it was a patriotic thing to do, have lost their shirts — probably 70 percent of the money that they put into it. And yet, the people who took the commissions have become very wealthy on this. Again, I'm not a big fan of crypto, and I'm not a big fan of the crypto industry having so much influence on the Banking Committee, the AG Committee, the Commerce Committee, and other people who have to make rules and regulations on crypto — both Democrat and Republican — and we've got to call it out.” - YouTube youtu.be
