Two large US railroads want to merge.

We should not be run over by another megamerger. The government should stop it.

Legalizing marijuana creates jobs, increases tax revenue, and reduces opioid abuse.

I expect that it saves many people from the fate of being convicted of possession of marijuana, but I don't have a reference to verify that.

Two Florida thugs beat up and injured a man then charged him with attacking one of them. Video proved the thugs were lying.

Both thugs had had prior complaints, but that did nothing to stop them from committing crimes. Because of thugs' political influence, the system bends over backwards to protect them.

The Arctic ice is melting extra early this year. Usually icebreakers can start crossing the northernmost part of Siberia in July. This year, one did it in February.

This is a measure of the approach of climate disaster. Many animal species will be in big trouble without polar ice near the land.

The border thugs are not allowing journalists into the places where migrant children are being held.

Journalists must be allowed to photograph the conditions, and should have a chance to talk with the children too. Protecting the children from Covid-19 is indeed important, but I expect that methods can be designed for that. For instance, the journalists could be required to use use medical level PPE and show recent negative Covid-19 tests.
