The Hill
Four major climate, energy moves included in Trump’s day one executive orders
Stan Meiburg, who was the EPA’s acting No. 2 during the Obama administration, told The Hill via email that overturning the finding would mean greenhouse gases “would no longer be recognized as pollutants under the meaning of that term in the Clean Air Act, and so therefore the Act would not apply to them.” He added that this could lead to the undoing of a number of climate regulations, “with particular impact” on regulations impacting cars and power plants.

Is San Francisco a failed state?
For the police who would be enforcing the law against unlicensed cannabis stores, it's a hard job, said economics professor Koleman Strumpf. "If I say arrest people who are doing some activity. Well, I just see, is somebody doing this activity. Now, you need to say not just is somebody selling cannabis, but is it somebody who’s licensed or unlicensed? They’re literally doing the exact same thing. Some people are doing it legally. Some people are not doing it. It’s not so easy for police to do this."

Illinois law requires transparency when police kill people. Many cases stay in the dark
The plain text implies that the investigating agency — in Madison and St. Clair counties, usually the Illinois State Police — and not the state’s attorney’s office, is responsible for the public release of the report, said law professor Eileen Prescott, director of Wake Forest's Accountable Prosecutor Project. “This strikes me as inefficient,” she wrote in an email, “but the General Assembly may have meant to keep the investigators independent even from the State's Attorney's Office.”

National Public Radio: 1A
For the “Dot Gov” series on the national news program “1A,” Executive Director of the Sabin Center for Environment and Sustainability Stan Meiburg explains what the EPA does and how it works to protect the health of Americans and the environment. “The EPA regulates the quality of the air, quality of the water, the quality of your drinking water, how hazardous waste is handled, pesticides and toxic substances, and a myriad of other activities. So under the various statutes, that we have in the United States, it's a very broad reach.”

Kalshi names Donald Trump Jr to advisory role, takes strategic step ahead of Polymarket
Polymarket’s success in predicting Trump’s win has thrown prediction markets to the forefront of event forecasting. Many believe they are very accurate, and for good reasons. People are more decisive with their money, so they pick outcomes they think will happen, not just ones they want to happen. “When they actually put their money behind what they say, they’re putting themselves out there,” said economics professor Koleman Strumpf. He believes that prediction markets will last a long time and only get bigger.

Cannabis is booming, So why isn’t anyone getting rich?
Economist Koleman Strumpf has been studying legal and illegal cannabis markets in the U.S. “It is rare for police to permanently shut down a store. In short, this comes back to jurisdictional confusion; demoralization of police (essentially they were told they were villains in the war on crime, and now they have to figure out not if a drug is legal but if the seller is legal); and perseverance by illegal stores (after an arrest, they often re-open a store right near where their old store was).”

New study identifies warning signs of impatience
In this Forbes piece, philosophy professor Christian Miller writes: "Is there a pattern to what tends to make us impatient? And if you are designing a space where you know people are going to have to wait, what would you do to keep their impatience to a minimum? Thanks to newly published research by the University of Riverside psychologist Kate Sweeny and her colleagues, we have some data which helps to address these questions."
