Illinois’ new state-funded, court-based rental assistance program for tenants struggling to pay rent and their landlords opened Friday, according to the state. The new program follows a federally funded, statewide program that assisted tenants who were facing financial hardship tied to the COVID-19 pandemic and at risk of eviction. The federally funded program — which began in October 2022 and was funded through the 2021 federal American Rescue Plan Act — helped more than 10,500 landlords and renters in Illinois and stopped accepting applications in May as the funds were nearly exhausted. Rental assistance programs became widespread during the pandemic to aid the millions of renters who were struggling to pay their rent on time across the country after many lost their jobs and got sick.

  • Satellite images suggest test of Russian “super weapon” failed spectacularly
    Ars Technica, Monday - 09/23/2024 - 05:57 PM

    The Sarmat missile silo seen before last week's launch attempt. [credit: Maxar Technologies ] Late last week, Russia's military planned to launch a Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) on a test flight from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome. Imagery from commercial satellites captured over the weekend suggest the missile exploded before or during launch. This is at least the second time an RS-28 Sarmat missile has failed in less than two years, dealing a blow to the country's nuclear forces days after the head of the Russian legislature issued a veiled threat to use the missile against Europe if Western allies approved Ukraine's use of long-range weapons against Russia. Commercial satellite imagery collected by Maxar and Planet show before-and-after views of the Sarmat missile silo at Plesetsk, a military base about 500 miles (800 kilometers) north of Moscow.
