Trump admin tries again to revive dying #coal industry
Money would keep coal #powerplants open, build the first new plants in over a decade.
The $700 million would be spent under the #DefenseProductionAct, which allows the president to protect industries deemed critical to national defense.
A New York Times report indicates that much of the money for this comes from a fund Congress created to foster #carboncapture development.

MAHA members call movement a “sham” after Kennedy supports #glyphosate order.

Beth Mole – Feb 20, 2026

"Members of the Make America Health Again movement are in open revolt after founder Robert F. Kennedy Jr. publicly backed President Trump’s executive order Wednesday that would increase domestic production of glyphosate—a pesticide the MAHA movement and Kennedy have railed against.

"Vani Hari, an ally of Kennedy who goes by 'Food Babe,' told The Washington Post she was left 'speechless' by the move.

" 'We truly were hoping that this administration would put people over corporate power,' she said, 'but this action moves us away from that commitment.'

"#Trump’s executive order invoked the #DefenseProductionAct to boost domestic production of glyphosate, the active ingredient in #Bayer’s #Roundup products. Currently, the US imports large quantities of glyphosate from China, according to Reuters.

"The MAHA movement has been vehemently opposed to the use of glyphosate, claiming it contributes to childhood health problems. In 2024, Kennedy—an anti-vaccine activist and environmental lawyer who was then running for president—wrote on social media: 'The herbicide Glyphosate is one of the likely culprits in America’s chronic disease epidemic. … Shockingly, much of our exposure comes from its use as a desiccant on wheat, not as an #herbicide. From there it goes straight into our bodies. My USDA will ban that practice.' " [Yeah, right, sure you will... And I have a bridge I can sell you.]

#ElonMuskWarCriminal is #trending on #twitter & (#Musk is) being subject to a barrage of criticism for cutting off #Ukraine's access to #Starlink….

Could it be possible to leverage the #DefenseProductionAct to nationalize or
otherwise wrest control of that part of Starlink from the corrupt, Putin fanboi?

* drop tarifs (for 24 months) on solar components produced in various asian countries.
