Why Plaid Cymru’s plan to 'make a plan' might not be a bad plan, after all
James Downs, Mental health campaigner One of the more predictable criticisms of Plaid Cymru’s programme for the Senedd election has been that there is too much in it about planning, consultation, and asking people what they think. The plan for the first 100 days of a Plaid government focuses explicitly on preparation and listening, rather […]

De VS krijgen in het Midden-Oosten te maken met aanvallen door goedkope Iraanse kamikazedrones. Zeker elf Amerikaanse bases in de regio zijn niet alleen geraakt, maar ook beschadigd. Dure afweersystemen falen. Dat brengt een van de grootste tactische blunders in deze oorlog aan het licht.

Harry S. Truman was the first U.S. president to formally propose a comprehensive, national universal health insurance plan
In 1945 he proposed a single, federally run system for all Americans.
While Truman is the most prominent historical advocate, Presidents Richard Nixon and Theodore Roosevelt also supported different forms of universal healthcare coverage. 

69 years ago, a president pitches his idea for national health care
Back in 1945 -- a mere seven months into a presidency he inherited from Franklin D. Roosevelt -- Truman proposed a “universal” national health insurance program. In his remarks to Congress, he declared, “Millions of our citizens do not now have a full measure of opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health. Millions do not now have protection or security against the economic effects of sickness. The time has arrived for action to help them attain that opportunity and that protection.”

The Trump administration ordered the restart of a Santa Barbara oil pipeline shut since the 2015 Refugio spill -- invoking emergency powers under the Defense Production Act.

California officials say the move defies court orders and state oversight.
Gov. Gavin Newsom said the state will sue.
The order escalates a fight over whether federal authority can override California regulators blocking Sable Offshore’s plan to restart the pipeline.

In the opening days of the war with Iran, missile strikes have already killed civilians, including scores of schoolchildren.

Blueprint Stalled: The Pentagon had been working on a plan to avoid civilian deaths.
It was heading toward implementation until Trump officials waylaid it last year.

The U.S. Built a Blueprint to Avoid Civilian War Casualties. Trump Officials Scrapped It.
The Pentagon dismantled its civilian protection mission as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made “lethality” a top priority and the Trump administration reorganized national security around two principles: more aggression, less accountability.
