Stupidity Comes Full Circle Trump and his administration of oafs throw in the towel against Iran. It’s hard to believe the Iran war is already over, principally because it’s not. There’s a Memorandum of Understanding to agree upon a real peace in 60 days. It’s sort of like an armistice, one of which we’ve been maintaining with North Korea since 1953. Which is to say, settle in. On top of everything else, the continuation of the peace process depends on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu observing a ceasefire, which he doesn’t do, couldn’t do for more than a day in this case, and which has already suspended peace talks.

Public Comment Training: Preventing Plutonium Pit ProductionThe National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) is moving forward with plans to produce plutonium pits—the bomb cores of thermonuclear weapons—at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico and the Savannah River Site in South Carolina despite no demonstrated need. These new pits are unnecessary for the safety and security of the U.S. nuclear arsenal; indeed, they are intended for newly designed nuclear warheads which increase the nuclear threat, according to analysis by the Union of Concerned Scientists. UCS invites you to a training webinar on how to submit a comment to ensure the NNSA fully considers the public and environmental risks that come with expanded plutonium pit production. We must hold the NNSA accountable. Comment periods help increase transparency to the public, and it is crucial that the NNSA and the U.S. Department of Energy hear from scientists, experts, and community members like you.
