The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed the lawsuit on Tuesday on behalf of a New York Times editor who lodged a complaint against the company.

Two public-land groups sued the Montana government on Thursday to seek clarity on public access to roughly 871,000 acres of corner-locked federal public land. Backcountry Hunters and Anglers and the Public Land Water Access Association jointly filed a legal complaint in Lewis and Clark County District Court “in an effort to cement the legality of corner crossing in Montana.” The lawsuit comes just a day after Montana’s Lieutenant Governor Kristen Juras told a legislative council in Helena that corner crossing is…
The Defense Department’s $26.8 billion military construction request for fiscal 2027 is needed to build unaccompanied housing and protect installations to ensure the security of U.S. troops and their families in the short- and long-term, military logistics leaders said Thursday. The budget proposal, which includes $21.5 billion for barracks across the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and Space Force, represents a “generational investment” that addresses a backlog of construction and repair priorities, according to Dale Marks, assistant secretary of defense for energy, installations and the environment. Marks said that the department in the past has prioritized operations over facilities…
Saudi Arabia conducted covert strikes on Iran during the Middle East war. Neither Riyadh nor Tehran has officially acknowledged the attacks. According to a report published by Reuters on Wednesday, the Royal Saudi Air Force launched “numerous, unpublicized” attacks on Iran in late March. One unnamed official described the strikes as tit-for-tat retaliation “for when Saudi [Arabia] was hit.” The report cited several sources familiar with the incident. Retaliatory strikes were also launched from Kuwait into Iraq, multiple sources familiar with the matter said. Sources also told Reuters that Saudi Arabia informed Iran in advance, and that the strikes were followed by intense…
KYIV, Ukraine — The U.S. State Department and Ukraine’s ambassador in Washington have outlined a memorandum that would route Ukrainian drone technology into joint ventures on American soil in an attempt to inject Kyiv’s combat experience into the military’s equipment supply chains.The draft agreement would open a legal channel for Kyiv to sell its weapons to the U.S. for the first time since it effectively banned arms exports to maintain its own forces at the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, CBS News first reported.The memorandum, drawn between the State Department and Ukrainian Ambassador Olha Stefanishyna, would integrate Ukrainian…
Sign up for the Quick Strike Newsletter The hottest fishing news, tips, and tactics These old-school tips come from the story, “Get ‘Em Outta Bed,” which appeared in the May 1995 issue of Outdoor Life. In my part of the country, the crappie spawn is an event anticipated with barely controlled expectation. The springtime mating ritual of the feisty panfish generates a bonanza like few others, with slab-laden stringers and the sweet scent of pan-fried crappie fillets permeating the occasion. Its occurrence is predictable, but the crappie spawn by no means guarantees coolers brimming with fish. Cold fronts can shut…
China’s ruler Xi Jinping has warned the United States over the continued standoff regarding Taiwan. Xi said that it could put both the US and China in “a very dangerous situation.” Xi told US President Donald Trump that the Taiwan issue is the single most important concern in bilateral relations. “The Taiwan question is the most important issue in China-US relations,” Xi said. “If it is handled properly, the bilateral relationship will enjoy overall stability. Otherwise, the two countries may clash or even come into conflict, pushing the entire China-US relationship into a very dangerous situation.” China Warns Taiwan Of “Annihilation” If…
For the first time in service history, the Coast Guard is set to roll out physical fitness testing requirements to the entire force. And, officials say, the service’s most senior officers will be the first to see the test factored into their performance and promotability reporting.A 29-page guide, which has yet to be publicly released, lays out the components of the Coast Guard’s physical readiness program and testing, which will be a twice-annual requirement for all service members beginning July 1. The test requires takers to perform as many push-ups as they can in one minute; hold a forearm plank…

Best Overall GCI Comfort Pro Chair Best Deluxe Yeti Trailhead Best Classic Kelty Lowdown Chair If you’re like me, you probably have a supermarket camping chair or two kicking around your gear closet. The flimsy sagging seats, the popped bolts, the inadequate cup holders. Sure, that chair’s been “good enough” for the last few seasons, but you know an upgrade would go a long way toward sticking it out around the campfire for a few more rounds of whiskey. To help you choose, I called in…

This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog. On Monday morning, the front page of the Drudge Report featured a very alarming two-word headline in all capital letters: “INFLATION ACCELERATES”. Of course, that headline was 100% accurate. Prices are rising, and our seemingly endless cost-of-living crisis is beginning to accelerate once again. I have heard from many of you that are not happy with what economic conditions are like now, and you are really not going to be happy with what is going to happen in the months to come. The closure of the Strait…

VIENNA — Austrian Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets scrambled two days in a row to intercept U.S. military aircraft, the government said. The interceptions took place on May 10 and 11 and were related to modified PC-12 turboprop aircraft that the U.S. military uses primarily for signals intelligence and scouting operations. The U.S. designation for the aircraft is U-28. Contrary to initial reporting in German-language media, no aircraft seems to have illegally violated Austrian airspace. The U.S. Air Force had filed for an overflight permit for two aircraft on May 10, but didn’t use it. When later that day two different…

Energy Secretary Chris Wright warned on Wednesday that Iran is “frighteningly close” to obtaining a nuclear weapon, nearly three months after the United States launched a war to irrevocably halt the Islamic Republic from crossing that ominous Rubicon.Wright, referring to Iran’s current stock of nuclear material, told the Senate Armed Services Committee, “They are weeks — a small number of weeks — away to enrich that to weapons-grade uranium.” But the energy secretary added that a months-long weaponization process would still be required beyond that point.Iranian nuclear activity steadily increased in the years since President Donald Trump abrogated the Obama-era…
HONOLULU — U.S. Army leaders assembled in Hawaii this week emphasized the importance of a multi-pronged effort, from the foxhole to the factory, necessary to deter near-peer adversaries across the vast Indo-Pacific. Speaking at the 2026 Land Forces Pacific Symposium and Exposition, U.S. Army Gen. Xavier Brunson, commander of United Nations Command, ROK/U.S. Combined Forces Command and U.S. Forces Korea, called the joint military-industrial approach “the ultimate guardian of peace.”Delivering the symposium’s opening keynote, Brunson cited military strength, industrial sustainability and allied collaboration as primary components needed to create “a true fortress for all our nations and interests here in…
This article was originally published by Mike Adams at Natural News. The Same Old Scam, Repackaged With a New Name Here we go again. The same people who brought you the COVID-19 lockdowns, the masks, the PCR tests, and the experimental gene-therapy injections are now wheeling out a new fear: hantavirus. It’s clear this is 100% scripted theater, a psychological operation designed to terrorize the weak-minded into surrendering their liberty all over again. We have been through this before, and anyone who falls for it now deserves the shame that follows. Just as the COVID narrative was manufactured to test…
