Toxic oil waste is increasingly shooting out of the ground in Oklahoma, contaminating the state’s drinking water.

We found that regulators identified 2,000 problem wells in a 2021 report. Then they ignored their findings.

Oil Regulators Found Hundreds of Wells Violating Oklahoma Rules. Then They Ignored Their Findings.

Oklahoma took on an ambitious project to catalog all of the state’s injection wells, which shoot toxic waste generated by oil drilling back into the ground. Despite records showing risk of drinking water pollution, the state chose not to act.

Also, and I want to say more on this soon, but if you think that the big AI players are hoping for *anything but* them being able to put a legislative moat around themselves where output *is* copyrighted and training materials *are* restricted but they're the *only ones* able to play, you're being a fool.

Their key goal is to capture rent on all intellectual pursuits.

Republicans spent weeks preaching ā€œdecencyā€ after Charlie Kirk died. Now Trump is literally celebrating Robert Mueller’s death. Where’s that same energy, you hypocrites? I’ll wait.
Robert Mueller earned his place in history; Donald Trump just proved he belongs in a comment section. Character can’t be faked, and integrity can’t be bought. No matter how many buildings you put your name on. — Rest in peace to a true public servant.

I fully expected something like this when I heard that Mueller died.

When this tool finally kicks the bucket, I think this post gives us full permission to cheer, bang pots and pans together, dance in the streets, hand out beer, and set off fireworks.

So to recap:
•Trump illegally bombed Iran.
•Iran responded by closing the Straight of Hormuz, thus spiking oil prices.
•Trump is now responding by lifting sanctions on Iranian oil, thus funding the regime he's bombing—all as the Straight of Hormuz remains closed.

So in short, Trump bombed Iran, raised oil prices for Americans, and gave Iran more money. Masterful gambit by the author of the Art of the Deal.

Are we great yet?
