Group Files Lawsuit After Trump Administration Cancels 20 Year Ban On Minnesota Mining

Description

According to a report by Reuters, on Thursday, a conservative group sued the Trump administration for withholding documents related to cancelling a 20 year ban on mining in Minnesota wilderness area and open it up to copper production. The lawsuit was reportedly filed by the Wilderness Society and is aimed at forcing the Trump administration to respond to two dozen Freedom of Information Act requests for documents detailing its decision to open up the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness to sulfide ore copper mining. Reuters reports that USDA Secretary Sonny Perdue announced last September that the Forest Service would cancel the ban on mining in the area and terminated the environmental impact study on mining on the Boundary Waters.

The data showed that just over 25% indicated that they wouldn't practice social distancing, either.

  • Still Donating To Trump's MAGA Fund? FYI, Here's Where The Money Is Really Going

    President Donald Trump's campaign is still seeking donations from voters, even though Trump himself has all but admitted he lost to Joe Biden. But donors should know that 75% of every contribution is now being routed to Trump's newly-established leadership PAC, Save America, up to $5000. Anything over $5000 goes to Trump's Recount Account. Also, 25% of all donations go to the Republican National Committee. These funds could be used to finance Trump's life--or his legal bills--or his family's legal bills-- after he leaves office. It could even go toward a possible 2024 presidential bid. And according to Business Insider, all of these would be legal. Despite the Trump administration's decision to begin the transfer of power, Trump's personal plans for life after January 20, 2021, remain unclear.

  • Testing the new BMW i5. Chapter 4 - One year later

    This was followed by more testing over the course of 2022, both at other BMW Group test facilities and in everyday driving in and around Munich as well as in the vicinity of BMW Group Plant Dingolfing. The task here was to continue refining the car’s chassis technology and acoustic properties under a wide variety of conditions, as well as honing the drive unit’s power delivery, in order to produce a well-resolved driving experience at all times.Here again, part of the development work was deliberately carried out during the colder months on icy and snowy roads in the Alpine foothills. This last winter, BMW i5 prototypes – now sporting less camouflage and near-production headlights – were regularly sent out for testing to verify the functionality and reliability of their powertrain and chassis control systems in extremely demanding road and weather conditions. The BMW engineers involved in the vehicle project were able to directly inspect the current state of development through testing in the BMW brand’s native Bavaria before it was time to return to endurance testing near the Arctic Circle in February 2023.
