BREAKING: Del's Divisive Corporate Law Rework Passes In State Senate <https://www.law360.com/compliance/articles/2310149?nl_pk=7f7472c8-af4a-4299…> By Jeff Montgomery Divisive amendments to Delaware's general corporation law cleared the state's Senate on Thursday with multiple questions but little debate and without dissenting votes, and will now be sent to the House amid warnings that failure to approve could weaken the state's standing as a top corporate charter hub.

These whales are on the brink. Now comes climate change — and wind power.
by Gunnar Larson 15 Mar '25

15 Mar '25

With only about 300 left <https://www.andersoncabotcenterforoceanlife.org/blog/right-whale-population…>, the North Atlantic right whale ranks as one of the world’s most endangered marine mammals <https://www.worldwildlife.org/species-categories/marine-animals/species/dir…>. Nearly annihilated centuries ago by whalers, the slow-swimming species is said to have earned its name because it was the “right” whale to hunt. Old-fashioned harpoons have yielded to other threats. Humans are still killing right whales at startlingly high numbers <https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/the_americas/two-percent-of-the-worlds…> — but by accident. Waters free from whalers now brim with ships that strike them, and ropes that entangle them. But Amy DiSibio, a retired stock trader who has vacationed in Nantucket for three decades, said many are turning a blind eye to noise and other ecological impacts of the energy project simply because it is branded green. “Wind farm sounds really nice,” she said. “It’s a power plant. It really is.” Her group, Nantucket Residents Against Turbines, accuses <https://dockets.justia.com/docket/massachusetts/madce/1:2021cv11390/237553> the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, which approved <https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/05/11/interior-department-approv…> the turbines, of failing to protect the right whale in its lawsuit. The effort has attracted support from many conservatives. David Stevenson, a former member of Donald Trump’s presidential transition team, has helped Nantucket Residents Against Turbines with publicity. And the Texas Public Policy Foundation, a right-wing think tank based in Austin, is representing <https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/61618082/seafreeze-shoreside-inc-v-uni…> fishing groups that oppose turbines being built where they work. “If we were talking about an oil and gas platform,” said Robert Henneke, the Texas Public Policy Foundation’s executive director and general counsel, “there’s absolutely no way that the federal government would be allowing that kind of a construction project in this area.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2022/04/21/right-whales-…

Finding answers: That includes often being used by HIV-positive pregnant women to prevent them from transmitting the disease to their newborns.
by Gunnar Larson 13 Mar '25

Gunnar Larson is HIV Negative "-" not on Prep, AG James. You know this and my civil rights will be vindicated for the people. Gunnar Larson Finding answers If you need any convincing about the importance of funding for research, look no further than a new study <https://t.devex.com/dc/kyXVoDpAY__Vu56MNr4POj5ednkoGMApGICdBULx4aAXPVVZMk5h…> that has identified the right dosage of a highly effective HIV treatment *to give to newborns who are at risk of being infected*. Dolutegravir has long been the backbone of HIV treatment and prevention. That includes often being used by HIV-positive pregnant women to *prevent them from transmitting the disease to their newborns*. Except, in some instances, women are either not on treatment or don’t adhere to it regularly. In those cases, *there is a risk that their baby can develop HIV* either during delivery or while breastfeeding. This appears to be how the majority of the estimated 1.4 million children worldwide with HIV were infected. Thanks to a new study from researchers in Thailand and South Africa, clinicians *now know how much dolutegravir to give newborns* who are at risk to help prevent them from becoming infected. Those researchers are now waiting to see if their evidence will convince the World Health Organization <https://t.devex.com/Njg1LUtCTC03NjUAAAGZLq0mWcZbxVaA4LSYOFp6FfKhpCrK9Pi3ezo…> and other guideline committees to recommend dolutegravir in cases where newborns are at risk. *Read:* Will infants finally have access to a highly effective HIV drug? <https://t.devex.com/dc/kyXVoDpAY__Vu56MNr4POj5ednkoGMApGICdBULx4aAXPVVZMk5h…>

Tracking the fallout: — and whether they’ve been looted, wasted, or seized by terrorists once the Trump administration cancelled USAID awards.

Tracking the fallout Trump’s foreign aid freeze — and the countless program cancellations that followed — have left unprecedented levels of food, medicine, and commodities *far from those they were intended to reach*. Now, USAID <https://t.devex.com/Njg1LUtCTC03NjUAAAGZLidQ7eEWwvYXj60N5QtNBX6lfLQxKbPbe8k…>’s oversight office is trying to understand where those assets are <https://t.devex.com/Njg1LUtCTC03NjUAAAGZLidQ7ZX87Kc75PDVEJiFAT9J5RlVr_oKpiK…> — and whether they’ve been looted, wasted, or seized by terrorists once the Trump administration cancelled USAID awards. “The audit objective is *to determine the status of USAID-funded physical assets* procured under selected awards,” wrote Gabriele Tonsil, the acting assistant inspector general of USAID’s oversight agency, in a memorandum on Tuesday. “As part of this effort, we intend to produce a listing of assets that require attention for proper accounting, transfer, and disposition.” Tonsil told Peter Marocco, the acting deputy administrator of USAID, that her office will need a list of USAID awards terminated between Jan. 20 and March 11, along with a list of personnel in each region *to help them track assets and perform the audit*. Last week, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the number of terminated awards was at 5,200 <https://t.devex.com/dc/kyXVoDpAY__Vu56MNr4POo8HNH4qA6QBf2b2qD0apMeBXMO326iP…> — an elimination of 83% of the agency’s work, my colleague Elissa Miolene tells me. “Assets included in this audit may include real property, vehicles, and equipment as well as warehoused inventory like food and medicine,” Tonsil added. Last time Tonsil’s team — the Office of Inspector General — *released a report critical of the Trump administration’s funding aid freeze*, the head of the OIG was fired via email <https://t.devex.com/dc/kyXVoDpAY__Vu56MNr4POlEl9RSRUZlYbrmNpaBWzbMJ3rbDvLoE…> with “no reason given,” according to an official familiar with the situation. *ICYMI:* Remaining USAID programs now under State Department, 5,200 programs canceled <https://t.devex.com/dc/kyXVoDpAY__Vu56MNr4POo8HNH4qA6QBf2b2qD0apMeBXMO326iP…> *See also:* USAID’s inspector general fired with ‘no reason given’ <https://t.devex.com/dc/kyXVoDpAY__Vu56MNr4POlEl9RSRUZlYbrmNpaBWzbMJ3rbDvLoE…>

Did you see Goody Proctor with the devil? — even demanding to know if organizations vet employees for terrorist ties and uphold President Donald Trump’s “America First” values.

Did you see Goody Proctor with the devil? The Trump administration is rolling out what looks like a loyalty test for charities, nonprofits, and U.N. agencies <https://t.devex.com/dc/kyXVoDpAY__Vu56MNr4POjbW6rOsZ37Uc-AtgCDeIvcEt38Q1tL4…> receiving U.S. funding. Among the 23-question probe: Have you ever worked with groups linked to communism, socialism, or anti-American beliefs? “It’s multilateral McCarthyism,” one senior diplomat tells my colleague Colum Lynch, likening it to Cold War-era communist witch hunts. *The questionnaire digs into hot-button issues* such as abortion, free speech, patriotism, and migration — even demanding to know if organizations vet employees for terrorist ties and uphold President Donald Trump’s “America First” values. One U.N. agency was given a single day to sign and return it but refused. *The demand clashes with U.N. principles of neutrality* and creates a minefield for aid groups working in conflict zones where cooperation with controversial entities is often necessary for survival. Not all the questions are political — some focus on risk management and aid sustainability — but the overall message is clear: *Fall in line, or lose U.S. funding*. *Read:* Trump’s new ‘loyalty test’ for UN and aid groups <https://t.devex.com/dc/kyXVoDpAY__Vu56MNr4POjbW6rOsZ37Uc-AtgCDeIvcEt38Q1tL4…>
