Critics Rock Trump Administration For Posting 'Delusional' And 'Backwards' Meme
President Donald Trump has promised to revive the coal industry, and the Energy Department is serving notice that it's ready to move forward. The tweet on the Energy Department's official X feed shows a piece of coal and a Wendy Williams phrase that's become a meme: Trump has long promoted coal and other fossil fuels, and he has a grudge against most forms of clean energy. He famously despises windmills, but also isn't fond of solar ― nor does he like green-powered vehicles such as electric cars, despite briefly promoting former friend Elon Musk's Tesla vehicles at a White House event this year before the two fell out. Trump has also declared a national emergency to fast-track new energy production ― specifically nuclear, oil, gas, and coal. He seems to favor coal in particular, signing multiple executive orders to help the industry since taking office. Critics fired some clean burns back at the agency:

Trump hits Canada with 35 per cent tariffs
WASHINGTON — Canada has been hit with 35 per cent tariffs after U.S. President Donald Trump followed through on his threat to increase duties if Ottawa didn't agree to a trade deal. The White House said the tariffs would not affect goods compliant with the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement on trade. Prime Minister Mark Carney had tempered expectations of an agreement by Friday, saying Ottawa would only take the right deal for Canada. On Thursday, Trump gave Mexico a 90-day extension on trade negotiations but did not announce a similar offer for Canada. Trump's 50 per cent copper tariffs also came into effect just after midnight, but this latest duty exempts the raw input material. The copper tariffs are being added to a growing list of U.S. sectoral duties, which include duties on automobiles, steel and aluminum.

New footpath opens to connect school with surrounding communities
A new shared-use path is now open, connecting a school with surrounding communities. The footpath and cycleway in Melksham links Melksham Oak Community School to the Woolmore Farm development and the wider east Melksham area. Councillor Martin Smith, cabinet member for highways at Wiltshire Council, said: "There have been some challenges along the way to building this shared-use path, but we're pleased that we can now celebrate its opening. "This project is a step forward in our commitment to creating safe, accessible, and environmentally friendly travel options for Wiltshire residents, and this path will benefit students, residents, and visitors alike, providing healthier and more sustainable travel options, and enabling more people to leave their car at home should they wish to do so." Read more: Wiltshire pub says goodbye to landlords and reopens after 'reset' The path, more than three metres wide, is designed for both pedestrians and cyclists and will have seating and planters installed over the next six weeks. The upgrades are scheduled to be completed in time for the start of the new school year. The path is part of a larger connectivity project. The next phase will extend the route from Woolmore Farm to the A365 Bath Road. This section will be delivered by the housing developer as part of the ongoing Woolmore Farm scheme. Cllr Smith said: "We look forward to seeing this next phase progress in due course." Wiltshire Council has described the project as a key part of its strategy to promote more sustainable travel choices across the county.
