Image description: A fantastical scene featuring a towering, gothic-style castle with numerous spires emerging from a swirling sky of green and yellow hues. The castle is situated on a rocky coastline, with waves crashing against the shore. The ocean is a mix of deep blues and greens, reflecting the colors of the sky. In the background, a distant planet or moon is visible in the dark, starry sky, adding to the otherworldly atmosphere of the scene.

I know I seem to be posting a lot of Netflix shows lately, but I really just post anytime I come across a new cyberpunk-looking trailer and I can't help if they've all been on Netflix lately. I swear it's just a coincidence.

Anyway, this Tomorrow And I show looks like an anthology of cyberpunk stories just like Black Mirror. The trailer looks interesting at least. Coming to Netflix on December 4.

Context is Detective Comics (1937) #406, page 7

Hand, who received widespread support, encouraged other victims to come forward, stating, “Speak up, no matter how afraid you might be.”

Bessent will lead President-elect Donald Trump’s Treasury Department. Bessent is the first out gay member of Trump’s Cabinet.

Earlier this month, the House Energy and Commerce Committee laid out a plan to target environmental justice nonprofits and organizations working to transition the economy away from fossil fuels.

That report preceded a major House vote on Thursday in which Republicans and 15 Democrats passed legislation giving the Treasury Department the power to strip nonprofit news organizations, advocacy groups, and universities of their tax-exempt status.

The Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act was originally proposed last year, ostensibly to prevent U.S. nonprofits from supporting groups like Hamas after widespread protests over Israel’s invasion of Gaza. Nicknamed the “nonprofit killer,” it gives the president unprecedented authority to go after political opponents. Advocacy groups like the American Civil Liberties Union warned of the bill’s potential “to grant the executive branch extraordinary power… based on a unilateral accusation of wrongdoing.”

In the preceding weeks, the House Energy and Commerce Committee’s report focused on the Inflation Reduction Act’s distribution of federal funding, offering a preview of how the new terrorism legislation could be wielded for political purposes. It also highlighted the kinds of organizations that could be targeted, including those that support clean-energy policies like committing investments to renewable energy, phasing out fossil fuel production and use, and expanding public land conservation.

The “nonprofit killer” bill is part of a larger Republican effort to attack what many on the right call “woke capitalism,” including environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives to reduce carbon emissions, embrace more diverse workforces, and other efforts. So far this year, conservative lawmakers and their allies have authored legislation that would rollback shareholder rights seeking to hold corporations accountable, leaned on the Supreme Court to gut environmental law, and used dark money donations to help fuel their agenda.

Summary

Maine Republican lawmaker Lucas Lanigan won re-election to the state House by a single vote after a recount, despite facing domestic violence aggravated assault charges.

Lanigan is accused of choking his wife during a confrontation about an alleged affair, though he denies wrongdoing and calls the charges “ridiculous.”

His wife later asked for the charges to be dropped, but prosecutors are proceeding, citing evidence of strangulation.

Democrats have called for his resignation, while Republican leaders emphasized due process.
