Anxious to appease the restive MAGA base, she hyped the disclosure as “breaking news” on Fox the night before, part of an effort to fulfill President Trump’s campaign promise to reveal new details on the financier Jeffrey Epstein’s misdeeds…

The Energy Department said on Monday that it was preparing to roll back energy and water conservation standards for a long list of electric and gas appliances, targeting 47 regulations that it said were “driving up costs and lowering quality of life for the American people.”The moves follow an executive order last week from President Trump directing the Energy Department to “eliminate restrictive water pressure and efficiency rules that make household appliances less effective and more expensive.”But energy-efficiency experts and climate advocates said the Energy Department’s moves would increase the cost of running household appliances like dehumidifiers and portable air-conditioners…

IT’S NOT ABOUT PREDICTING THE FUTURE But scenario planning was never about predicting the future – it’s about training for it. Asking “what if?” has clear benefits. David Niles, a strategic adviser to chief executives, tells his clients that “it’s not about getting the forecast right – it’s about having a series of plays ready, so when the unexpected happens, you’re not frozen”. It’s one thing to imagine alternative futures, but another to know when to shift course. In the short term, leaders need to buy themselves time. Simon Freakley at management consulting firm AlixPartners recommends “no regrets” moves to…
