Big Tech Asked for Looser Clean Water Act Permitting. Trump Wants to Give It to Them New AI regulations suggested by the White House mirror changes to environmental permitting suggested by Meta and a lobbying group representing firms like Google and Amazon Web Services.

More a comment on the current state of the US rather than Noraly’s decision not to go. Certainly don’t blame her.

Itchy Boots Cancels US Book Tour Plans - Adventure Rider YouTuber Noraly Schoenmaker, aka Itchy Boots, will not visit the US for a book tour this spring over concerns about her entry.

Amazing that Itchy Boots has been to places like Iran and Yemen and even she has hesitated to visiting the US in its current iteration. www.advrider.com/itchy-boots-...

Here is the single thing Labour can do to see off Reform and make British politics work | Will Hayward Farage’s party could win 42% of Commons seats with only 26% of the vote. That’s not the way civilised countries do democracy, says Guardian columnist Will Hayward
