Divided Supreme Court sides with Trump to block teacher grants

By  Zach Schonfeld | The Hill A divided Supreme Court sided with the Trump administration by allowing officials to block $65 million in teacher development grants frozen over concerns they were promoting diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) practices.  The 5-4 emergency ruling, for now, lifts a lower order that forced the Education Department to resume the grants in eight Democratic-led states that are suing. Five of the court’s six conservatives sided with the administration to grant the request. Chief Justice John Roberts and the court’s three liberal justices dissented.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE HILL

Trump greenlights AI data center at Colorado’s NREL to ‘win the AI race’

By Mark Jaffe | Colorado Sun The Trump administration is looking to locate a private data center and power plant on land owned by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory as part of a broader plan to site such facilities at 16 national laboratories. “Private data center companies, that’s where the capital is, that’s where the investment is and on federal land, we make a commercial arrangement with them,” Energy Secretary Chris Wright said at a press conference Thursday at NREL. The arrangement could be a combination of lease payments and an allocation of data center computing to the lab. “It is using our land to get some value out of it with a private company,” Wright said. “It helps the lab and helps the country by getting more data centers built.” The underlying goal is to ke...

RFK Jr. aide: MAHA Commission will ‘lay out why’ kids are sick, not policy

By Hagstrom Report| The Fence Post, Commentary Calley Means, a leader of the Make America Healthy Again Movement and a top aide to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr., said Wednesday that the Make America Healthy Again Commission established by the White House “is not going to lay out policy, it is going to lay out why” American kids “are the sickest in the world.” Means made the statement at a Politico Health Summit at which he said the first job of the commission is “acknowledging the truth” and said after that it will be possible to establish a system that prevents and reverses disease. Means vigorously defended Kennedy and other HHS officials who have been subject to criticism. He also said Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins “is tied at the hip” with Kenne...

Griswold sues against Trump’s executive order on elections but is a case study for it

By Rocky Mountain Voice Editorial Board When Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold announced that she was joining a multi-state lawsuit to block President Trump’s Executive Order (EO) on election integrity, she declared the action a defense of democracy itself. “We will not wait on the sidelines while Donald Trump tries to legislate from the Oval Office and defies the Constitution,” Griswold said in an April 3 press release. But while Griswold accuses President Trump of federal overreach, her own record suggests a pattern of constitutional violations that have unfolded under the banner of election protection.  In fact, her treatment of Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters has become a case study in why federal oversight of elections—as President Trump’s EO proposes—may be more nec...
