The only commercial-scale uranium enrichment facility in the U.S. is three-quarters through its latest expansion, advancing domestic nuclear fuel supply goals.

⚖️ Senate Democrats Demand EPA Drop Abortion Pill Water Study

The entire Senate Democratic caucus has written to EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin demanding the agency remove mifepristone, misoprostol, and their metabolites from its list of emerging contaminants in drinking water.

Led by Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), Democrats said the EPA study to detect the abortion pill mifepristone in drinking water is politically motivated and called on Zeldin to halt it. The letter marks a unified pushback from Senate Democrats against the agency's research direction under the current administration.

🪖 US Navy Deploys Drone Ship With Carrier Strike Group for First Time

The Theodore Roosevelt Carrier Strike Group has deployed from San Diego with a large unmanned surface vessel — the first time in US Navy history a carrier strike group has done so.

Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao announced the milestone Wednesday, calling the drone ship "a force multiplier." The strike group is expected to sail to the Middle East, where the US already has two carrier strike groups and an amphibious ready group maintaining a naval blockade against Iranian ports. Since mid-July, US forces have disabled four commercial vessels for violating the blockade; last weekend, an American fighter jet struck a cargo ship after it left an Iranian port.

Large unmanned surface vessels can carry missiles, drones, sensors, and electronic jamming equipment, enabling them to support and protect strike groups in ways smaller sea drones cannot.
