greenfire@lemmings.worldto News@lemmy.world•California backs down to Trump admin, won’t force ISPs to offer $15 broadbandEnglish0·7 days ago…in new guidance from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), the agency said it prohibits states “from explicitly or implicitly setting the LCSO [low-cost service option] rate a subgrantee must offer.” NTIA officials also made it clear that, even if California obtained the funding, ISPs could exempt themselves from the proposed low-cost broadband bill simply by applying for BEAD funding, Boerner told us. She said the NTIA’s new guidance is a “complete farce,” since ISPs are getting public money to build infrastructure and won’t have to commit to offering low-income plans at specific rates.
”All they would have to do to get exempted from AB 353 [the $15 broadband bill] would be to apply to the BEAD program," she said. “Doesn’t matter if their application was valid, appropriate, granted, or they got public money at the end of the day and built the projects—the mere application for the BEAD program would exempt them from 353, if it didn’t jeopardize from $1.86 billion to begin with. And that was a tradeoff I was unwilling to make.”

”I said, ‘Donald, this is supposed to be a party with V.I.P.s,’” Houraney said. “‘You’re telling me it’s you and Epstein?’”
Jill Harth, Houraney’s then-girlfriend, later accused Trump of forcibly kissing her and fondling her, and keeping her from leaving the same night of the party.
In 2002, Trump told New York Magazine that Epstein was a “terrific guy.” “I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy,” Trump said. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”

greenfire@lemmings.worldto News@lemmy.world•Trump Administration Set to Destroy 550 Tons of USAID Food Meant to Go to Malnourished KidsEnglish0·12 days agoThe Trump administration is planning to destroy 550 tons of emergency food relief intended for children in impoverished and war-torn regions.
The food assistance that was part of the now-defunct USAID program is set to be incinerated on Thursday, The Atlantic reported, citing sources with knowledge of the government’s plans.
The food comes in the form of high-energy biscuits that are packed with nutritious substances helpful to kids 5 years of age and under. The biscuits are currently being stored in Dubai and were meant to be sent to war- and disaster-ravaged areas. This particular shipment of food was set to go to Afghanistan and Pakistan.
