George Conway Considers Congressional Run in New York Following Nadler's Departure

George Conway, a well-known lawyer and vocal critic of President Trump, is contemplating a run for Congress in New York City. According to a source familiar with the situation, Conway is considering entering the Democratic primary for New York’s 12th Congressional District. This seat, which covers much of Manhattan’s east and west sides, is currently held by Rep. Jerry Nadler, who recently announced he would not seek reelection. The race is expected to be highly competitive, with Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of former President John F. Kennedy, already having declared his candidacy. Conway, who was once a prominent figure in conservative legal circles, became a critic of Trump and has since supported Democratic candidates, including contributing to President Joe Biden's reelection campaign and endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris.

Federal Judge Overturns President Trump's Ban on Wind Power Projects, Impacting Energy Industry

Federal Judge Overturns President Trump's Ban on Wind Power Projects, Impacting Energy Industry

A federal judge has overturned President Donald Trump's ban on new wind power projects in the United States. The decision, made by Judge Patti Saris of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, declared the ban 'arbitrary and capricious and contrary to law.' This ruling is a significant victory for the wind energy industry, which had been adversely affected by the ban. President Trump had issued a memorandum on January 20, halting permits and leases for both offshore and onshore wind farms, pending a federal review. The judge noted that federal agencies failed to provide a reasoned explanation for this abrupt policy change. The lawsuit against the ban was led by New York Attorney General Letitia James, along with 16 other states, arguing that the ban posed an existential threat to the wind industry.
