Federal loan to struggling EV automaker under fire | National
SUMMARY: Rivian Automotive announced a conditional $6.6 billion loan from the U.S. Department of Energy to support a $5 billion plant near Atlanta, Georgia. Despite this, critics from both political parties labeled Rivian a “failing company,” raising concerns about the hefty cost of jobs it promises to create. Construction was previously halted due to financial troubles, and Rivian’s shares have plummeted 50% this year. Some politicians question the loan; for instance, Marjorie Taylor Greene criticized the use of taxpayer money for Rivian. CEO RJ Scaringe claims the loan will boost U.S. EV manufacturing and create jobs.

Shooter who attacked the CDC headquarters was a 30-year-old man from suburban Atlanta
SUMMARY: Patrick Joseph White, 30, from Kennesaw, Georgia, opened fire near the CDC headquarters in Atlanta, killing DeKalb County Police Officer David Rose and causing panic among CDC staff. White, armed with a long gun and three other firearms, fired from across the street after being denied campus entry. His father reported his son’s depression linked to his dog’s death and distrust of COVID-19 vaccines. The attack damaged multiple CDC buildings. Officer Rose, a former Marine, leaves behind a wife and three children. The shooting intensified tensions amid ongoing CDC funding cuts and political disputes, with some blaming anti-science rhetoric for fostering hostility toward public health workers.
