As Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine, truthful reporting of the conflict was gagged due to the country's new so-called "fake news" law. Russia's last independent TV channel, TV Rain, was forced off the air as a result of the new rule. Shortly before that the husband-and-wife team behind the network also left their home. But they couldn't sit still -- they continued working from abroad and eventually relaunched TV Rain.

On July 27, 2022, however, Senators Charles Schumer (D-NY) and Joe Manchin (D-WV) unexpectedly agreed on a bill, the Inflation Reduction Act (“Act”), which would include many provisions intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, alongside other policies such as deficit reduction and prescription drug price negotiation. [6]At the same time, other provisions of the bill have been criticized as creating obstacles to the clean energy transition. [10] Independent estimates nevertheless support the view that the Inflation Reduction Act will lead to substantial reductions in emissions. [17] As the effects of these actions were relatively small compared to the Administration's ambitious climate goals viewed as necessary to curb climate change, many activists sought more actions from the Executive Branch, including a formal declaration of a “climate emergency.”[18] The passage of the Inflation Reduction Act may reduce pressure to make such a declaration, but further climate actions, such as promulgation of the SEC’s climate risk disclosure rule, are expected shortly. [2] Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (July 27, 2022 draft), available at https://www.democrats.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/inflation_reduction_act_of_2022.pdf, §§ 13101, 13401-04, and 13502.

HOLLISTER (KSBW) — The four people killed Sunday when their Tesla collided with a big rig on a highway near Hollister were a Carmel Valley woman and her three children. All four people in the Tesla were killed; the truck driver suffered minor injuries. An email sent to families in the Carmel Unified School District contained the same information, the TV station said. All three children attended Carmel Middle School and had previously been at Tularcitos Elementary in Carmel Valley, the email said. The CHP report, however, said the Tesla was in the eastbound lane, meaning it was heading toward Casa de Fruta.
