New #regulations detailed in the memo will allow prosecutors in #criminal investigations to use #subpoenas, #CourtOrders & #SearchWarrants to compel "production of information & testimony by & relating to members of the #news #media," the memo stated.
“Safeguarding classified, privileged & other sensitive information is essential to effective governance & #law enforcement,” #Trump AG #PamBondi wrote in the memo.

Poilievre creates a laughable fiscal plan, while also taking aim at environmental regulations. "Conservative's platform misleadingly includes tens of billions of dollars in expected government revenue from removing Liberal government environmental policies." #election #environment #regulations #canada thestar.com/politics/federal-e

Ecu Radio's 3rd #Podcast 🎙️ takes a step back from the currently flooded news cycle and explores further the concept of #Enshittification, part of a global ailment we call #DecayCapitalism: a shareholder-driven race to the bottom.

However, Fortress #Europe, #Regulations and #BuyEuropean can help 👇

AushaFortress Europe vs. Corporations: Tackling Enshittification and Decay Capitalism through Regulations and Strategic Protectionism | Ausha This week, Ecu Radio takes a step back from the currently flooded news cycle and dive within the concept of Enshittification. This well-documented phenomenon happens when digital platforms inevitably worsen as they prioritise squeezing users, sellers, and workers for profit. But that’s just a symptom. It’s part of a global ailment we’ll call Decay Capitalism: a shareholder-driven race to the bottom where siphoning value matters more than creating it. A system where quality, ethics, and meaning are systematically sacrificed for speed, scale and above all, greed. It took the world by storm, and Europe isn’t unaffected, as corporations call for the dismantling of its protective acts, if not of the Union itself. Yet it resists. Through regulations, through consumers’ rights, through stringent health and safety standards, and through a foundational, democratic respect for its citizens. The #BuyEuropean trend might just be what strengthens its immune system. _ 👉 Support Ecu Radio on Steady here: https://steadyhq.com/en/ecuradio/about and unlock exclusive perks such as newsletters, Q&A sessions, polls and more. 🌐 https://www.ecuradio.eu _ All content is © Ecu Radio, created by Axel Thizon.

Ridiculous rationalization:

#Trump’s #interior sec cited a #biotech company’s claim to have brought back the dire wolf to slash 50 years of #EndangeredSpecies protections.

Many scientists expressed skepticism that the pups could be classified as part of a canine species that went #extinct over 10k years ago. But Interior Secy #DougBurgum said the achievement demonstrates that it is not government #regulations but innovation that will save species.

Well, there it is…

#Trump has signed #ExecutiveOrders aimed at reviving the #coal industry.

The moves include loosening #environmental #law & #regulations.

Trump signed 4 EOs Tues aimed at expanding the mining & use of coal in the #US.

Flanked by dozens of miners in white hard hats [#propaganda photo op], Trump said he was instructing the #DOJ to identify & fight state policies & regulations that were “putting our coal miners out of business.”

President Trump signed several executive orders on Tuesday aimed at reviving the coal industry. But a major coal revival seems unlikely, some analysts say.

Get ready for #BlackLung

#Trump set to sign #ExecutiveOrders to boost #US #coal

When burned, coal releases more of the main #GreenhouseGas carbon dioxide than any other #FossilFuel. It also emits criteria #pollutants that are blamed for #lung & #heart illnesses. Much of its use has declined on #regulations from #Democrats, including President Joe #Biden.
