'Rare atmospheric phenomenon' behind outage and disruption could last a week, Portuguese operator says:

We've just heard from REN, Portugal's grid operator.

It claims the outage that's affected Portugal was caused by a fault in the Spanish electricity grid, related to a "rare atmospheric phenomenon".

REN says that, due to extreme temperature variations in Spain, there were "anomalous oscillations" in very high-voltage lines.

It says this is known as "induced atmospheric variation", which in turn led to oscillations which caused synchronisation failures between systems.

That led to successive disturbances across the interconnected European network, it adds.

It also says that given the complexity of the issue, it could take up to a week for the network to fully normalise again.

.@Grok disagrees with Sky News' claim:

"The truth behind the 2025 European power outage is still unclear, but evidence leans toward technical issues, not a "rare atmospheric phenomenon." Reports indicate faults in high-voltage lines within the European grid caused the blackout affecting Spain, Portugal, and France.

"REN's claim of an atmospheric event lacks support from other sources, and their website shows normal operations, possibly due to outdated data. Meanwhile, some officials are investigating a cyber attack, though there's no solid proof yet. The outage's cause remains under review, but technical failure seems most likely based on current findings."

Wow.... I can't believe this question was asked in the press room....

A suspension of habeas corpus allows the government to detain individuals without formally charging them, essentially overriding the right to a legal challenge of detention. This power, according to the US Constitution, can only be invoked when the public safety is threatened by rebellion or invasion. While the Constitution doesn't explicitly state which branch of government can suspend habeas corpus.

Congratulations Joe Rambo! 🏆🇺🇸🎉

‘A Hostile and Political Act!’: Punchbowl News reported, early Tuesday, Amazon is planning to display how much of an item’s cost is directly attributed to tariffs. During a Tuesday morning press briefing, Leavitt made clear the administration’s displeasure with the move from the e-commerce giant.

“I just got off the phone with the president about Amazon’s announcement,” Leavitt said. “This is a hostile and political act by Amazon! Why didn’t Amazon do this when the Biden administration hiked inflation to the highest level in 40 years?”

Leavitt went on to cite a four-year old story (which she billed as “recent”) about Amazon having partnered with a Chinese propaganda arm to further the CCP’s agenda by selling pro-CCP books on its American website.

“It’s not a surprise because as Reuters recently wrote, Amazon has partnered with a Chinese propaganda arm,” Leavitt said. “So this is another reason why Americans should buy American.”

Asked whether Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is “still a Trump supporter,” the press secretary punted.

“Look, I will not speak to the president’s relationships with Jeff Bezos,” Leavitt said. “But I will tell you that this is certainly a hostile and political action by Amazon.”
