Corporation for Public Broadcasting Addresses Operations Following Loss of Federal Funding
WASHINGTON, D.C. (August 1, 2025) – The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) announced today that it will begin an orderly wind-down of its operations following the passage of a federal rescissions package and the release of the Senate Appropriations Committee’s FY 2026 Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies (Labor-H) appropriations bill, which excludes funding for CPB for the first time in more than five decades.

European CommissionHave you heard of the 3-30-300 🌳 rule?
Everyone should be able to:
🌲 See at least 3 trees from their home
🌳 Have 30% tree canopy cover in their neighbourhood
🍃 Live within 300 metres of a high-quality green space
Trees help us cool down our towns in the summer, improve air quality and regulate the water cycle.
That’s why The EU Biodiversity Strategy commits to planting at least 3 billion additional trees in the EU by 2030.

This is unacceptable for me and I won't use LinkedIn until these terms are restored. https://opentermsarchive.org/en/memos/linkedin-removes-transgender-hate-speech-protections/

Ohioans, and other states, can expect their electric bills to keep going up. The previous auction to ensure the grid operator PJM Interconnection LLC could meet demand saw capacity prices shoot up more than 830%. In the most recent auction, prices rose even higher. #Ohio
We used almost a third less electric this month than last year and our electric bill doubled.
PJM Interconnection LLC (PJM) is a regional transmission organization (RTO) in the United States. It is part of the Eastern Interconnection grid operating an electric transmission system serving all or parts of Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia. PJM is the largest power grid operator in the United States, serving 65 million customers from Chicago to New Jersey
