Fox News: Mike Johnson punts House vote on Trump tax agenda after GOP rebellion threatened defeat

The vote is now set for Thursday, the last session day before a two-week recess.
Conservatives are pushing for more substantial commitments from the Senate on spending cuts, as the legislation aims to bolster border security, defense funding, and repeal parts of Biden's green energy policies. Both chambers must agree on a final bill before year-end to prevent tax increases from Trump's expiring tax cuts.

GB News: UK to investigate 'green diesel' amid 'serious concerns' over fuel's net zero credentials
The UK Department for Transport is investigating the environmental claims of "green diesel," or HVO, which has seen usage surge from 8 million liters in 2019 to 699 million in 2024. Concerns have arisen over the authenticity of its renewable credentials, particularly regarding palm oil mill effluent (POME).
A report by Transport & Environment reveals discrepancies in the supply chain, indicating that the amount of POME used in European biofuels may exceed global availability. This has led to suspicions that much of the material labeled as waste may actually be virgin palm oil. The Department for Transport is addressing these concerns with stakeholders.
