A catastrophic sewer line collapse has sent more than 240 million gallons of raw sewage into the Potomac River, triggering what the EPA calls an ecological crisis of “historic proportion.” The political finger‑pointing around the Potomac River sewage disaster has become almost as messy as the spill itself. Maryland Gov. Wes Moore and other regional leaders argue the federal government bears responsibility for coordinating the response to one of the largest sewage spills in U.S. history. Meanwhile, environmental advocates note that DC Water operates the failed Potomac Interceptor pipe and had already identified it as needing repair.

California drivers are feeling the squeeze as gas prices surge nearly 40 cents in just two weeks, driven by major refinery closures that are tightening the state’s already limited fuel supply. With the statewide average now hovering around $4.58 per gallon, Californians are paying far more than the national average of about $2.92. The wind‑down of Valero’s Benicia refinery and the closure of Phillips 66’s Los Angeles facility have left the state with only six operating refineries, amplifying volatility and pushing prices sharply upward.

The Nevada County Sheriff's Office said the avalanche was reported around 11:30 a.m. amid a heavy snowstorm that has closed both Interstate 80 and Highway 50 at the summit.  The argument is being made that this is wrong as a matter of law and history: The holiday is still Washington’s birthday. It is also a symptom of a veneration of the imperial presidency that is un-republican and would have horrified the Founding Fathers.  Feel like you don’t belong? Crave emotional independence?

Claude, the AI model developed by Anthropic, was used by the US military during its operation to kidnap Nicolás Maduro from Venezuela. Anthropic was the first AI developer known to be used in a classified operation by the US department of defence. It was unclear how the tool, which has capabilities ranging from processing PDFs to piloting autonomous drones, was deployed.  Former U.S. President Barack Obama said he did not see evidence that aliens “have made contact with us,” after sending social media abuzz by saying aliens were real on a podcast over the weekend.
