Spotify took down several Andrew Tate podcast episodes saying that they violated the platform’s policies — the podcasts in question were also the subject of employee complaints and a petition with more than 92,000 signatures.

In 2024, solar added more capacity to the U.S. energy grid than any other energy technology in the last 20 years
In 2024, the U.S. installed 50 gigawatts of new solar capacity, enough to power 8.5 million households. That also represents the largest single year of new capacity added by any energy source in more than two decades.
A new report found that solar and storage accounted for 84% of all new electricity generating capacity added last year — and that trend is expected to continue in 2025, despite federal policy changes.
The installation milestone isn’t the only success story: manufacturing of solar panels surged in the U.S. last year too. In 2024, solar module production tripled and, when working at full capacity, U.S. factories can now meet nearly all demand for solar panels nationwide.
What’s the nuance? Experts say the U.S. needs to maintain an “all of the above” strategy to grow American energy sources like solar and storage to help it stay competitive in the global economy — and to prevent the worst impacts of climate change. While things seem to be progressing forward, federal policy changes still threaten to disrupt planned clean energy projects.
New data shows the deadliest phase of the street fentanyl crisis is over
With deaths continuing to decline at an unprecedented rate, a new analysis of overdose data in the U.S. found that the deadliest phase of the street fentanyl crisis appears to be over.
The analysis found that for the first time, all 50 states and the District of Columbia are seeing some level of recovery — and that that recovery started much earlier than once believed.
A handful of states across Appalachia saw overdose deaths peak in 2021, but even those states who peaked more recently are seeing deaths falling rapidly. Researchers confirmed it’s “not a blip” and the country is on track to “return to levels of [fatal] overdose before fentanyl emerged.”
