Trump Rides to the Northeast's Energy Rescue
President Trump's energy policy has been an economic bright spot. Even New Englanders who didn't vote for President Trump might cheer if he strikes a mooted deal with New York Gov. Kathy Hochul that would let more cheap natural gas flow to her own state and the Northeast.
Interior Secretary Doug Burgum hinted at a quid-pro-quo last week when he lifted a pause on a wind project off the coast of Long Island. The wind farm is a key energy priority for New York Democrats and building unions. 'I am encouraged by Governor Hochul's comments about her willingness to move forward on critical pipeline capacity,' he tweeted.

Bills Free Agent Addition Addresses PED Suspension
Bills Free Agent Addition Addresses PED Suspension originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Buffalo Bills wanted to address their defensive line in major ways this offseason. They accomplished that goal during the first week of free agency with the signings of Larry Ogunjobi, Joey Bosa, and Michael Hoecht. Advertisement There's just one problem, though. All of them won't be on the practice field for the most part over the next few months. Bosa is dealing with a calf injury that will keep him out until training camp. Ogunjobu and Hoecht, meanwhile, were suspended during the same week they signed their contracts for violating the league's PED policy. On the Ross Tucker Podcast this week, the former Ram in Hoecht explained that he let the Bills know a suspension was coming before he agreed to a deal. And the reason for that was to help Buffalo out with his mistakes. "I think it was wanting to negotiate in good faith," Hoecht said. "It was my mistake. I was careless and put faith in people I shouldn't have put faith in. And I didn't want to play the game of secrecy and hiding it and trying to screw over a team over." Advertisement Hoecht was a swiss army knife for the Rams over the last few seasons. When he's on the field, he should be able to make an immediate impact on the Bills roster. They key will be *when* he hits the field. Suspensions for players that enter a new system are never easy to move on from. And in the case of Hoecht, he will need to show he can play in Buffalo's complex defensive system first.

Hegseth Warns Allies About China, Presses Defense Spending
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth pressed US partners in Asia to boost defense spending toward 5% of gross domestic product, warning that more urgency is needed to prepare for a potential Chinese invasion of Taiwan. Speaking in Singapore, Hegseth acknowledged that many Asian nations try to balance economic ties with China and defense ties with the US. But he said those relationships complicate decisions during times of tension. And he made clear that President Donald Trump's administration would apply the NATO model to the region — aggressively demanding countries spend more to defend themselves.
