Supreme Court overtuned a Colorado law banning conversion therapy. It's 8-1 with Ketanji Brown Jackson as the lone dissent.

For the Same Cost as Another Mideast War, We Could Make Oil Irrelevant The price tag for building enough renewables to power the grid is eerily close to the U.S.’s typical price tag for the kind of war it would take to fully secure the Strait of Hormuz.
