"Experts Warn Trump Attack on Nuclear Regulator Raises Disaster Risk. 'Simply put,' said one critic, 'the U.S. nuclear industry will fail if safety is not made a priority.'

U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday signed a series of executive orders that will overhaul the independent federal agency that regulates the nation's nuclear power plants in order to speed the construction of new fissile reactors—a move that experts warned will increase safety risks.

According to a White House statement, Trump's directives 'will usher in a nuclear energy renaissance,' in part by allowing Department of Energy laboratories to conduct nuclear reactor design testing, green-lighting reactor construction on federal lands, and lifting regulatory barriers 'by requiring the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to issue timely licensing decisions.' The Trump administration is seeking to shorten the yearslong NRC process of approving new licenses for nuclear power plants and reactors to within 18 months."

-->One more environmental disaster after another. Yet the NYT didn't cover this important story. The paper has always been pro nuclear energy.

Orinoco Tribune:
"Venezuelan Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello confirmed the arrest of a group of 38 mercenaries involved in a conspiracy seeking to sabotage Venezuela’s legislative and regional elections scheduled for May 25.

In a press conference held this Monday, May 19, Minister Cabello also explained that of the 38 new detainees—including explosives experts, coyotes, and mercenaries—17 are foreigners (from Colombia, Mexico, and Ukraine) and 21 are Venezuelans.

'A few days ago, we received information that I warned about. I confirm it, explosive attacks specifically targeting embassies in Venezuela. They say in their meetings that if they bomb an embassy, the whole world will find out, and there will be talk of the government’s ‘weakness.’ People who have no scruples whatsoever,' he said."

-->Foreign plots to overthrow Venezuela. The plots are hatched in the US, and then covered up by the US media. All the news that's fit to print never involves plots by the CIA.

Truthout:
"A new analysis has found that nearly $80 trillion in wealth has been redistributed from the bottom 90 percent of Americans to the richest 1 percent over the past 50 years, as neoliberal policies have come to roost and billionaires are poised to use their vast power to worsen wealth inequality in the coming years.

Five years ago, researchers for RAND found that roughly $47 trillion earned by the working class between 1975 and 2018 was instead given to the richest 1 percent, in 2018 dollars. This calculation was based on calculations of the growth of the bottom 90 percent in the decades after World War II, when income distribution held steady between groups.

In a new analysis published last month by RAND extending the analysis to 2023, RAND found that that figure is now $79 trillion in 2023 dollars, with inflation accounting for roughly $10 trillion of the growth."

-->No sign of this story in the NYT. Why wouldn't readers of the NYT be interested in how their news is being manipulated?
