During a nationwide strike last week, members of the far-left CGT union who work in the energy sector cut power to the office of a lawmaker from Mr. Macron's party for more than three hours. On Monday, CGT energy workers in Marseille manipulated electricity and gas meters to cut bills for bakers who were protesting in the French port city against high energy prices. CGT's leadership called such moves a "Robin Hood" operation and said they would continue as the country prepares for another national protest on Tuesday.
Republicans to Pick Party Leader as Some Call for Ousting Ronna McDaniel
DANA POINT, Calif.-The Republican National Committee on Friday is set to resolve a leadership fight that has revealed party divisions and opposition to incumbent Ronna McDaniel from both the grass-roots and some of the GOP's rising stars.
Interviews at the luxury Southern California resort where members are meeting this week suggest Ms. McDaniel is favored to win re-election as party chair following a contentious campaign within the traditionally clubby RNC.
Lawmakers Press for Access to Biden, Trump Classified Documents
WASHINGTON-Senate Intelligence Committee lawmakers are weighing how to force the intelligence community to turn over the classified documents that ended up in the personal possession of two presidents.
Special counsels are probing the discovery of classified documents in the home and former office of President Biden and the Mar-a-Lago residence of former President Donald Trump, and classified documents were also found recently at former Vice President Mike Pence's home. The Senate panel has been unable to obtain access to the underlying Biden and Trump material, thwarting its ability to assess the threat to national security, the extent of any damage, and the potential need for changes to procedures and laws.
Biden Administration Blocks Mining Near Minnesota Wilderness Area
The Biden administration moved Thursday to block mining upstream of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area of Northern Minnesota for 20 years, opting to protect a pristine wilderness over allowing production of minerals that could help fuel a potentially cleaner future.
The administration last year canceled two federal mineral rights leases held by Twin Metals Minnesota LLC, a unit of Chilean mining firm Antofagasta Minerals SA. The latest move could kill the company's planned underground copper-nickel mine, although Twin Metals said it would continue to fight the cancellation.
