Soon after Trump took office, the lead prosecutor, Jorge Matos, was told by a supervisor to take the investigation no further
“Before the election, it was definitely full steam ahead,” said one person familiar with the case.
“After the election, that all changed.”

Prosecutors Had a Drugs-for-Votes Scheme “Locked Up.” Under Trump, They Were Told Not to Pursue Charges.
Before the 2024 election, federal prosecutors were "full steam ahead" looking into how a prison gang in Puerto Rico gave drugs to inmates if they voted for a GOP gubernatorial candidate. After Trump’s election, the investigation evaporated.

"What’s ironic is that you have the leader of the Catholic church speaking out against war and against the way that immigrants are being treated. That shows this co-option of the Christian identity by Opus Dei to be a complete fallacy; it’s all for political expediency. It’s about these people’s own deeply authoritarian and conservative views about how the world should be run."

Disappointing growth in EU biomethane production, growing by 'only' 12% from 'gas year' (Oct-Sep) 2023/24 to 2024/2025.
5 years to go to the REpowerEU target of 350 TWh; that would now require a 52% compound annual growth rate.
Tall order, but today's news shows how important it is to accelerate!
