>House Bill 49 shields oil producers, landowners, and treatment facilities from legal liability if treated water causes harm, unless there is gross negligence or criminal behavior.
These are the same retards who claim fracking water is safe to drink but refuse to drink it when challenged

https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/abbott-signs-law-permitting-use-of-fracking-wastewater/287-89df9861-29c7-4faa-b658-d651f94013ae

JOHNSON COUNTY, Texas — For Texas farmers and ranchers, clean land and water aren’t luxuries — they’re lifelines. But a new state law has farmers and environmental advocates raising serious concerns.

Governor Greg Abbott has signed a law that allows oil and gas companies to treat and sell fracking wastewater — also known as produced water — for reuse. That could include discharging it into rivers and streams or even applying it on farmland for crop irrigation.

The move comes as the state faces a growing water shortage due to population growth, aging infrastructure, and prolonged drought conditions. Supporters say the law is a way to supplement water supplies and promote recycling. Critics say it could contaminate the very land Texans depend on for food and survival.

Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller believes the concept has potential — if it’s done right.

“Well, we need water," Miller said. "We don’t really care what the source is as long as it’s good, clean water that we can grow crops with. Fracking water would be fine."

Miller said the goal won't be just to treat the water, but to fully remove harmful substances like heavy metals to ensure it's clean and safe. He added that there are methods to achieve that, and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality would be responsible for regulating the process.

“As long as this water meets those strict guidelines, I don’t have a problem with it," Miller added. "We need the water, whatever source we can get it from.”

The Growing Threat of Political Violence From the Left

At a recent protest in Midtown Manhattan—one of many against Donald Trump's administration—a pair of masked women stood quietly outside the stone lions that loom over the New York Public Library, a life-sized cutout of Luigi Mangione propped between them.

No one seemed to mind. As chants against authoritarianism echoed down Fifth Avenue and homemade signs called for due process and migrant rights, Mangione's effigy stood unchallenged—just another figure in one particular demonstration's crowded landscape.

Mangione, 26, who is charged with shooting and killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in a targeted attack last December, remains something of an enigma more than six months since he was arrested in Pennsylvania in connection with Thompson's murder. His political views — or what are known of them — are contradictory if not incoherent. He was the highly educated scion of a well-off Baltimore family who had no obvious beef with the capitalist system of which he benefited. Mangione wrote about his chronic back injury, but he was never insured by UnitedHealth.

None of that has stopped a left-wing activist movement from embracing him and coopting his image as a vigilante fighting against the perceived wrongs of the American healthcare system. In today's fractured political climate, such selective silence is becoming increasingly common.

But don't worry, if Trump keeps charging Americans more and more taxes on things bought from other countries, eventually someone will break and want to be a slave working there again.
Still no one wants to buy the factory though

CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — The Pixelle paper mill in Chillicothe is set to officially shut its doors on Aug. 10.

The company issued an updated notice Tuesday morning, announcing the official closure date.

Pixelle Specialty Solutions first announced the closure of its facility at 232 E. 8th St. in April, citing an effort to “align its operational footprint with long-term business objectives” as one of the reasons.

The company said the closure would happen in phases to relocate most operations to the manufacturer’s Spring Grove, Pennsylvania, location.

The announcement sparked a response from state leaders and lawmakers, including Gov. Mike DeWine, senators Bernie Moreno and Jon Husted and Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost. Moreno called the closure "corporate greed" while DeWine described the situation as aggravating.

Moreno said he spoke with the owners in April, who agreed with him to pause the mill’s closure until the end of the year.

He released the following statement Tuesday evening:

“I’m devastated for Chillicothe. For over 200 years, this community has been built around this paper mill, allowing generations of Ohio workers to thrive and sustain their families,” said Moreno. “But decades of globalization have left workers like this behind, shipping their jobs overseas for cheap labor, and, for too long, Republicans have forgotten who we were sent to Washington to represent. We must defend these workers and their way of life. When I was elected, I made a promise to always put Ohio first in DC and I will never stop fighting for communities like Chillicothe. ”

The Trump protestors glow in the dark, you can see them if you're driving. You just run them over, that's what you do.

Ron DeSantis Says Floridians Have Right to Hit Protesters With Cars

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has said Floridians have a right to hit protesters with their car if they need to "flee for your safety."

DeSantis was speaking on The Rubin Report on Wednesday when he said: "We also have a policy that if you're driving on one of those streets and a mob comes and surrounds your vehicle, and threatens you, you have a right to flee for your safety.

"And so if you drive off and you hit one of these people, that's their fault for impinging on you."

DeSantis' comments come ahead of the "No Kings" protests planned for June 14. Protest organizers have said the demonstrations are non-violent and are providing deescalation training to people taking part.

Molly Best, deputy press secretary for the Executive Office of the Governor of Florida, told Newsweek: "In Florida, violence is not condoned, and residents have the right to defend themselves and their families."

Why It Matters
A court in 2017 found that driving a car into a protest was not an act of self-defense, as James Alex Fields Jr., was found guilty of murder for hitting and killing civil rights activist Heather Heyer, a counter-protester at the Unite the Right Rally in 2017. Now, the governor of Florida is telling people they have a right to hit protesters with their car if they feel attacked.

DeSantis is not the only governor calling for more aggressive tactics against protesters, as Greg Abbott has called in the National Guard to quell demonstrations in Texas.

What To Know
The Florida governor was speaking with host Dave Rubin about the ongoing protests in Los Angeles against ICE raids and the protests against the Trump administration planned for this weekend.

Mass Looting Breaks Out as LA Riots Intensify

Los Angeles police have said they are receiving reports of looting from business owners as videos emerged on social media showing a mass of people running into stores whose frontages had been broken open.

"Business owners are reporting stores are being looted in the area of 6th St. and Broadway," Los Angeles Police Department's (LAPD) Central Division posted to X. "Officers are en route to the location to investigate." The area referred to is in Downtown L.A.

Police urged all businesses and residents "to report any vandalism, damage or looting to LAPD Central Division so that it can be documented by an official police report. Please photograph all vandalism and damage prior to clean up."

Why It Matters
Over the weekend, protests in Los Angeles against immigration enforcement escalated in some areas, with isolated incidents of violence and looting. In response, President Donald Trump announced the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops to restore order, without California Governor Gavin Newsom's consent.

Immigration remains a central pillar of Trump's second-term agenda. The president has pledged sweeping crackdowns on border security, expanded deportation operations, and an end to federal benefits for undocumented immigrants.

In addition, the administration is invoking the wartime Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to broaden deportation authority—a move that has triggered fierce backlash and mounting legal challenges.

The demonstrations mark the most intense wave of public opposition to federal immigration enforcement since Trump returned to office in January.

YouTuber BillyJohnOh captured the chaotic looting of a Jordan sneaker store during a livestream. In another video posted online separately, looters can be seen raiding a gas station's convenience store.

2024 Election Results Under Scrutiny as Lawsuit Advances

A legal case questioning the accuracy of the 2024 election is moving forward.

The lawsuit, brought by SMART Legislation, the action arm of SMART Elections, a nonpartisan watchdog group, filed the lawsuit over voting discrepancies in Rockland County, New York.

Judge Rachel Tanguay of the New York Supreme Court ruled in open court in May that the allegations were serious enough for discovery to proceed.

Newsweek has contacted SMART Elections for comment via email.

Why It Matters

The lawsuit could renew debate about the 2024 election, though it won't change the outcome since Congress has certified the results declaring President Donald Trump the winner.

It comes amid unconfirmed reports that voting machines were secretly altered before ballots were cast in November's election. The federally accredited testing lab, Pro V&V, that signed off on "significant" changes to ES&S voting machines—which are used in over 40 percent of U.S. counties—"vanished from public view" after the election, according to the Dissent in Bloom Substack.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — A Republican South Carolina House member who prosecutors say used the screen name “joebidennnn69” has been arrested and charged with 10 counts of distributing sexual abuse material involving children.

RJ May was arrested Wednesday at his Lexington County home after a lengthy investigation and is scheduled to appear in federal court on Thursday.

An indictment says the three-term Republican used several online names including “joebidennnn69” to exchange files on the Kik social media network.

The indictment didn’t contain any additional details on the charges, which carry prison terms of five to 20 years upon conviction.

May is a political consultant who has angered fellow House Republicans by running campaigns for candidates running against GOP incumbents in primaries.

After his election in 2020, May helped create the Freedom Caucus, a group of the House’s most conservative members who have run their own candidate against the Republican House speaker and refuse to join the Majority Caucus because they say it requires a loyalty pledge.

The mainstream House Republicans aren’t the true conservative heart of the GOP, the group said.
