Trump Spikes Housing Bill At Last Minute, Refusing To Sign Until SAVE America Act Passes

Published by maggie@omahadai... on Fri, 06/26/2026 - 12:00am

President Donald Trump derailed a housing overhaul that he was set to sign into law Wednesday, canceling a signing ceremony for the broadly popular bipartisan bill until Congress passes an election security measure.

Trump had been scheduled to sign the bill, which passed the Senate Monday and House Tuesday with wide margins, during a Capitol ceremony.

But in a pair of social media posts prior to the event, he derided the overhaul aimed at lowering housing costs as “minor” before refusing to sign it entirely.

Critics Warn Of Years In Prison For Young Adults Under Carjacking Bill Before Congress

Published by maggie@omahadai... on Fri, 06/12/2026 - 12:00am

WASHINGTON – A North Carolina jury convicted a man for carjacking a truck from a McDonald’s parking lot by holding something “cold and hard” on the driver’s neck. A federal appeals court overturned the conviction in 2016, citing insufficient evidence.

“The evidence was insufficient to support a rational finding beyond a reasonable doubt that (Kenneth) Bailey possessed the specific intent, conditional or otherwise, to kill or seriously harm his victim when he took control of the vehicle,” a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit wrote in its ruling.

Published by maggie@omahadai... on Fri, 06/12/2026 - 12:00am

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — A federal judge on Tuesday permanently blocked Alabama from executing an inmate with nitrogen gas after declaring the method violates the U.S. Constitution's ban on cruel and unusual punishment.

U.S. District Judge Emily Marks issued the ruling hours after an appeals court reversed her initial finding that the method was constitutional. Marks permanently enjoined the state from executing Jeffrey Lee, 49, by nitrogen gas. He was scheduled to be executed Thursday.

Pillen Celebrates Law Boosting Private Energy Help In Public Power State, Pushes For More AI Growth

Published by maggie@omahadai... on Fri, 06/05/2026 - 12:00am

LINCOLN — As demand for electricity grows across Nebraska, Gov. Jim Pillen expressed his preference for establishing public-private partnerships to shoulder some of the cost burdens of new infrastructure.

Pillen ceremonially signed Legislative Bill 1261 Tuesday alongside state lawmakers, public power representatives and other stakeholders. The bill alters the authority of public power districts to allow private companies to build energy infrastructure, like power plants, without the risk of having a public power board take them over using the power of eminent domain.
