Today, a federal judge granted a preliminary injunction allowing construction to resume on Sunrise Wind offshore Long Island. With the ruling, all five under-construction offshore wind projects halted by the Trump administration have been allowed to resume work.

It could be that Weiss is just following her president's fundamental tactic - "double down when you make a mistake."
If that's true, she's even more vacuous than she usually sounds - after the month she's had, she's in no position to go toe to toe with her bosses.

Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)

It is worth asking every single brand, NGO, government agency, elected Democrat, and journalist why they insist on using that platform. Demand they justify being on a platform literally designed to promote sexual abuse.
So Musk intentionally forced xAI to embrace making sexualized material to increase user active seconds, and the AI chatbot had, throughout 2025, only two employees devoted to safety compared to dozens of staffers on similar teams at OpenAI or other rivals.

Our Reporters Reached Out for Comment. They Were Accused of Stalking and Intimidation.
Our journalists reach out to people they’re writing about to ensure fairness. But in this environment, they’ve found their efforts to do so are more likely to be vilified than appreciated.

Was told at a community meeting today that many of the restaurants along 5th and 7th Ave in Sunset Park, BK are seeing up to 90% less business this year, between the snow and fear in the community of leaving the house. So, if you can, plan a trip or order out this week.
