North Dakota considers 2 proposed natural gas pipelines that would stretch across the state
BISMARCK, N.D. — A state official briefed regulators Thursday on two separate underground pipelines that companies plan to build across hundreds of miles of North Dakota, bringing natural gas from the oil fields in the west to mostly industrial users in the more populated east.
Both pipelines — one by Intensity Infrastructure Partners and Rainbow Energy Center, the other by WBI Energy — would span about 350 miles (563 kilometers) roughly from the Watford City to Fargo areas. Segments would come into service in 2029 and 2030. The companies didn't disclose the projects' costs.

With Accounting Gimmick, Republicans Upend Senate Norms
Senate Republicans moved on Sunday to upend how the costs of tax cuts are counted, a change they are seeking as part of a broader attempt to expand what lawmakers can pass without a filibuster-proof majority. The gambit concerns how long Republicans' tax cuts can last. Typically, lawmakers cannot pass costly long-term policies through the Senate without bipartisan support. But Republicans want to lock in lower taxes permanently, and they are preparing to smash precedent to do so. To pass their sprawling tax and health care bill, Republicans are using a legislative process called reconciliation that allows them to ignore Democratic opposition in the Senate and approve the bill with a simple majority of 51 votes, rather than the 60 typically needed to overcome a filibuster. But using reconciliation has long imposed additional rules on lawmakers, including that the legislation can only add to the deficit for 10 years. After a decade, a bill cannot create new costs. That limitation has shaped American fiscal policy for a generation. Lawmakers in both parties have set programs that add to the deficit to expire within a decade rather than try to cover their cost in the long term. This time around, Senate Republicans are instead invoking an alternative accounting method that wipes away the cost of extending tax cuts already in place. Republicans argue that the tax cuts they originally passed in 2017, which expire at the end of the year, should be baked into the country's fiscal forecasts even though Congress has not yet actually renewed them. By that logic, the $3.8 trillion cost of extending the 2017 cuts is zero, and those cuts can be extended for decades even though reconciliation's rules prohibit long-term deficit increases. The entire Senate Republican bill relies on this view of the tax cuts' costs. Without this accounting assumption, the legislation would run afoul of Senate rules and require Republicans to rework the entire 940-page project, which President Trump has demanded be ready for his signature by July 4.

Zohran Mamdani says billionaires shouldn't exist, touts economic agenda
Presumptive Democratic nominee for mayor Zohran Mamdani declared he doesn't believe billionaires should exist during a wide-ranging interview Sunday on NBC's 'Meet the Press'. 'I don't think that we should have billionaires because, frankly, it is so much money in a moment of such inequality,' he told interviewer Kristen Welker. 'Ultimately, what we need more of is equality across our city and across our state and across our country.' Fresh off his stunning defeat of former governor Andrew Cuomo in the mayoral primary, Mamdani credited his victory to his economic agenda, in which he pitched various plans to lower the notoriously high cost of living. 'What we've seen is that this is a city that needs to be affordable for the people who build it every day,' Mamdani said. 'Our focus was on exactly that.' Mamdani's left-wing proposals and open identification as a democratic socialist have drawn skepticism from several members of the Democratic Party establishment. Senator Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, both New Yorkers, have declined to immediately endorse Mamdani in the general election for mayor. 'This [primary] is an election that went against so much of the analysis that had been told about our party and where we needed to head to,' Mamdani said in the interview. 'And ultimately what we're showing is that by putting working people first, by returning to the roots of the Democratic Party, we actually have a path out of this moment where we're facing authoritarianism in Washington, D.C.' Mamdani's top challenger in the November election is expected to be Mayor Eric Adams, who is running as an independent. Mamdani wasted no time criticizing the incumbent in Sunday's interview, noting that Adams' administration has hiked rents in NYC's rent stabilized housing by 9% over three years. 'The median household income of those tenants is $60,000 a year,' Mamdani said. 'The landlords of those units have seen their profits increase by 12%. It's time for release for working-class New Yorkers.'
