New court filings allege that federal and state officials withheld evidence of the Trump administration’s involvement in the Everglades detention facility known as “Alligator Alcatraz,” a revelation that could revive a court-ordered shutdown. The Jan. 7 filings come as the Miccosukee Tribe presses ahead with its legal challenge amid President Donald Trump’s recent veto of legislation expanding the tribe’s control over Everglades lands.
The filings, submitted by Friends of the Everglades…

The January wildfires that ripped through Los Angeles forced the state to spend billions in disaster aid
-- and delay tax filings for LA residents.
The cost of Medi-Cal,
the state-run health insurance program for low-income residents, ballooned to $6 billion more than anticipated.
Donald Trump’s on-again-off-again tariff policies rocked the stock market,
which California heavily relies on for tax revenue.
And the state lodged a flurry of lawsuits again…

just fixed the OEIL scraper (again!), someone who needs to justify their EU bureaucrat salary and pension had spent the (half) effort and renamed some (not all) css classes starting with "erpl_" to "es_", which of course we use in our xpath expressions and which thusly broke.

U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s remaking of childhood vaccination policies
is fueling resistance in labor and delivery wards, where doctors say parents are increasingly hesitant to allow other routine care for new babies.
Half a dozen pediatricians in five states said they are spending more time talking to parents about standard treatments given to newborns,
including vitamin K to prevent dangerous bleeding and a topical antibiotic that protects against …

On Sept. 21, the police came for Larry Bushart.
They handcuffed him and hauled him away in the dead of night.
He spent 37 days in jail while held on a $2 million bond
— an amount the retired police officer could not afford.
It’s the sort of treatment one expects for accused murderers and thieves.
But Larry’s only “crime”?
In the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, he posted a meme on Facebook
quoting President Trump’s remarks about a different …
