The Flight From the US Dollar: It is not just America’s enemies that are fleeing the dollar. Its closest friends have hinted at it too. These calls for a flight from the US dollar are not merely economic, they are geopolitical. They are calls to reshape the world order by challenging US hegemony and advocating multipolarity. The monopoly of the dollar has not just assured US wealth: it has assured US power. Most international trade is conducted in dollars, and most foreign exchange reserves are held in dollars.

E.P.A. proposes limits on climate pollution from existing power plants: It’s the last in a string of major regulations proposed by the Biden administration to cut the greenhouse gases. Regulations would bring the total amount of eliminated emissions to 15 billion tons by 2055, roughly the amount of pollution generated by the entire United States economy over three years. Several analyses have projected that the Inflation Reduction Act will cut emissions by at least another billion tons by 2030.

The U.S. EPA proposes its strongest-ever power plant emissions standards, calling for new and existing gas plants to capture 90% of emissions by 2035 and coal plants to do the same by 2030: The rules also demand that large natural gas plants that run consistently either capture 90 percent of their emissions by 2035 or burn mostly low-carbon hydrogen by 2038. Plants that run at lower capacities would face less stringent standards, or wouldn’t immediately be regulated.

Oklahoma woman with non-viable pregnancy told to wait in parking lot ‘until you bleed out’ due to abortion ban: I looked down and saw blood soaked through my jeans,” she told People. The family rushed to a nearby Catholic hospital. There, she was told she likely had a miscarriage and that she should follow up with her doctor. The next day, her OB-GYN discovered she had a non-viable, partial molar pregnancy, when two sperm fertilise the egg instead of one. In a partial molar pregnancy, there is too much genetic material for the embryo to develop and it may result in a rare form of cancer called choriocarcinoma, according to the Cleveland Clinic.
