The New York state prison system is abusing “emergency” authority to gut solitary confinement reforms indefinitely, a new class action lawsuit alleges.

President Donald Trump may have retreated from a full-blown trade war with most of the world, but his fight with China is still raging — and it could stymie New York City’s plans to decarbonize its public housing.

As of Monday afternoon, US tariffs on Chinese imports stood at 145 percent, with China charging 125 percent duties on US goods in response. That could throw a wrench in US climate efforts. China remains by far the world’s largest producer of green technologies and dominates the underlying supply chains.

New York City is counting on one Chinese product in particular to help green its public housing: innovative window heat pump units made by the Guangdong-based company Midea.
