Efforts to grow drilling on federal lands experienced a major setback in Wyoming last month. A district court judge ruled that the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) violated environmental law when it approved 5,000 oil wells spanning 1.5 million acres in the state. In a win for environmental groups, the BLM has to go back to the drawing board to continue this project. The Plan In 2020, the BLM, led by then–Department of the Interior Secretary David Bernhardt, announced that it had approved the Converse County Oil and Gas Project to develop 5,000 new oil and natural gas wells in…

The Golden Row is a ski traverse in Tromsø, Norway, that consists of three peaks and three ski descents — and it ain’t a cakewalk by any measure. That’s what drew extreme backcountry skier and filmmaker Nikolai Schirmer to attempt it. In the winter of 2024/25, he and three other skiers set out to complete this infamously brutal ski route. It claimed drones, ski bindings, and even several of the athletes along the way. Only two of the original four completed the route. But the rewards for those who did were huge: massive descents, incredible powder, and bragging rights that won’t…

Long Island, New York, isn’t the most gun-friendly place in the world, but some people have guns there. Shocking, I know, but it’s true.Still, when you have a gun, either in an anti-gun state or not, it’s imperative that you handle it safely. It’s also imperative that if you hand that gun to someone who doesn’t know how to handle it safely, you instruct them immediately.

Big ruling out of D.C. last week, and the internet immediately lit up with “circuit split!” and “SCOTUS incoming!” posts. Pump the brakes. Yes, this is a big win. No, it’s not the endgame. At least not yet. According to Washington Gun Law’s breakdown, the case, Benson v. United States, comes from the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, not the federal D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. That distinction matters. If this had come from the federal circuit, we’d likely have the kind of clean circuit split that forces the Supreme Court’s hand. But it didn’t. So technically, no split.…

United States senator and infamous war hawk Lindsey Graham has said that the ruling class is going to “make a ton of money” off the war it just started with Iran. If the U.S. is successful in toppling the Iranian government, the U.S. will control almost a third of the world’s oil and make record profits. Graham has already said that the cost of the attacks on Iran were the “best money ever spent,” arguing that the purpose is to prevent the country from developing nuclear weapons. Iran has repeatedly denied that it intends to create nukes and insists that…
