Five Law Firms Investigate Deep Fission as Financial Questions Surround Southeast Kansas Nuclear Project
Five Law Firms Investigate Deep Fission as Financial Questions Surround Southeast Kansas Nuclear Project Company disputes short-seller allegations as SEC filings reveal substantial losses, additional financing needs, and uncertainty over future operations. A new 25-year energy agreement offers progress, but guarantees no minimum electricity purchases. By Miami News-Digest | October 21, 2026 PARSONS, Kan. — Deep Fission Inc., the publicly traded nuclear energy developer pursuing an ambitious underground reactor project in Southeast Kansas, is facing mounting scrutiny from securities attorneys following allegations that the company has overstated the commercial prospects and economic viability of its technology. At least five shareholder-rights law firms have announced investigations into potential securities-law violations involving Deep Fission (Nasdaq: FISN), which entered the Nasdaq market through a $40 million initial public offering in June. The investigations followed a September 24 report by short-selling research firm Iceberg Research titled Deep Fission: A Money Pit, which challenged the company's projected reactor construction costs, electricity prices, regulatory timeline

Improvements to Neodesha’s historic Brown Hotel continue. Work continues to transform the building in downtown Neodesha into a restaurant, entertainment venue, office spaces, and apartments. City Administrator Brogan Jones says the renovation is coming along nicely. The project is funded by a Community Development Block grant that was awarded to the City in 2025 through the Kansas Department of Commerce. Neodesha City Commissioner Ed Truelove says that means the project is not being paid for by taxpayers. The Brown Hotel was originally built in 1886 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.

By Miami News-Digest | Investigative Report October 15, 2026 OTTAWA COUNTY, Okla. — An examination of drug asset forfeiture financial records obtained by Miami News-Digest has identified a $1,000 discrepancy in an official check transmittal, unusual fiscal-year accounting entries, and unanswered questions concerning the availability of annual financial reports for Oklahoma's 13th Judicial District.

Project Mustang Open Meeting Dispute Leads to Arrest in Claremore Oklahoma
When Public Records Come With a $17,000 Price Tag Claremore sought more than $17,000 for records connected to a man's arrest at a Project Mustang meeting. Oklahoma's Public Access Counselor said the city's approach did not comply with state open-records requirements.

On Feb. 17, Darren Blanchard attended a special Claremore City Council meeting concerning Project Mustang, a major data-center development proposed for the Claremore Industrial Park. Blanchard opposed the project and signed up to speak. Like other members of the public, he was given three minutes. When his allotted time expired, Blanchard continued speaking.

Oklahoma Supreme Court Blocks Property-Tax Phaseout — Here’s Wat the 5-4 Decision Means
Oklahoma Supreme Court Blocks Property-Tax Phaseout in Narrow 5-4 Decision Majority says State Question 843 conflicted with Oklahoma Constitution; dissenters question whether courts should stop citizen initiatives before voters act By Miami News-Digest OKLAHOMA CITY — A divided Oklahoma Supreme Court has stopped an initiative that sought to phase out most property taxes on owner-occupied homes, ruling 5-4 that the proposal directly conflicted with Oklahoma’s Constitution before supporters could begin gathering signatures to place it before voters. The court issued its decision Monday, Oct. 5, in Brooks v. Reynolds, 2026 OK 71, declaring State Question 843, Initiative Petition 455, “clearly and manifestly” unconstitutional. The decision presents two distinct questions that divided the court: whether the proposed tax exemption conflicted with existing constitutional rules governing property taxation, and whether the Supreme Court should decide such a constitutional question before an initiative has been enacted by voters at all. The five-member majority answered the first question decisively. SQ 843 proposed amending state statute to gradually exempt owner-occupied homesteads from ad

In a public notice, Commerce said residents’ water remains active and safe and has not failed safety testing. City officials described the letters as a precautionary requirement resulting from new federal regulations requiring water systems nationwide to inventory service lines and determine what materials were used in pipes connecting water mains to individual properties. According to the city, some lines are being classified as “unknown” because historical records or blueprints do not establish what material was used. That designation

F.D.R. Second Bill of Rights
EDITORIAL | MIAMI NEWS-DIGEST Franklin D. Roosevelt’s 1944 proposal for a “Second Bill of Rights” raised a question that remains unsettled: What does freedom mean when political rights exist on paper, but economic insecurity limits a citizen’s ability to exercise them in practice? By Miami News-Digest In January 1944, with the United States still fighting the Second World War, President Franklin D. Roosevelt placed before the country an idea that remains remarkably unsettled more than eight decades later. Americans, he argued, had inherited indispensable political rights—freedom of speech, freedom of worship, trial by jury, protection against unreasonable searches—but an industrial society had revealed another problem. A citizen could possess those liberties in law and still lack the practical independence necessary to exercise them. Roosevelt put the proposition starkly: “true individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence.” He therefore proposed what he called a “Second Bill of Rights,” including useful employment, adequate wages, a decent home, medical care, protection against the economic hazards of sickness and old age, education, and freedom for sm

Grand Jury Petition Seeks Investigation of Tulsa County District Attorney’s Office; Public Records Document Several Underlying Disputes
Grand Jury Petition Seeks Investigation of Tulsa County District Attorney’s Office; Public Records Document Several Underlying Disputes TULSA, Okla. — A citizens’ grand-jury petition filed Sept. 23 in Tulsa County District Court is asking for an investigation into Tulsa County District Attorney Steve Kunzweiler and the operation of his office, raising questions that range from the handling of criminal cases and public records to juvenile detention, campaign activity, and the exercise of prosecutorial discretion. The petition, filed as Tulsa County Case No. GJ-26-2, does not itself establish that Kunzweiler or anyone in his office committed a crime or engaged in removable misconduct. In fact, the petition expressly acknowledges that point, stating that no named person has been “adjudicated guilty” of the misconduct described and that the requested grand jury would be responsible for obtaining evidence and determining what, if anything, occurred. It likewise states that a judicial determination allowing the petition to circulate would not constitute a finding of misconduct. The filing identifies 11 areas for potential inquiry.

Before "Sooner"
Before “Sooner” Became a Namesake of Pride: Indian Territory, the Land Runs, and the Making of Modern-Day Oklahoma The word “Sooner” is now inseparable from Oklahoma identity. Its original meaning was considerably different. The first Sooners were people who entered land before the federal government legally opened it for settlement, violating rules designed to give prospective claimants an equal starting time. The land itself lay within Indian Territory, amid treaty-established Native nations whose governments, boundaries, and property rights had developed through removal, war, negotiated agreements, federal coercion, and decades of political struggle. I. Oklahoma Did Not Begin With the Land Run At noon on April 22, 1889, thousands of people surged into approximately 1.9 million acres in central Indian Territory. The event became one of the enduring images of Oklahoma history: horses running across prairie, wagons bouncing over rough ground, railroad passengers pouring into improvised towns, and homesteaders driving stakes into the earth. By 1889, Indian Territory had already undergone generations of political organization, settlement, forced migration, treaty-making, agriculture,

WHEN THE GOVERNMENT BECOMES PART OF THE DRUG TRANSACTION
WHEN THE GOVERNMENT BECOMES PART OF THE DRUG TRADE Controlled buys, informants and controlled deliveries can expose criminal networks. Documented cases also show what happens when the line between investigation and participation breaks down. There is an uncomfortable paradox at the center of modern narcotics enforcement. Government exists, in part, to prevent dangerous drugs from reaching the public, yet some of the investigative techniques used to accomplish that purpose necessarily place police officers, confidential informants, money, firearms, and sometimes controlled substances inside the very commerce government is attempting to suppress. A confidential informant may be instructed to purchase fentanyl. An undercover operative may negotiate a drug transaction. Investigators may permit a package of apparent narcotics to continue toward its destination so that they can identify the recipient. Police may conduct a controlled sale or delivery rather than immediately terminate a transaction. Each practice can produce evidence that would otherwise be difficult to obtain. Each also creates a fundamental public-policy question: at what point does observing or controlling dangerous con

Under Oklahoma's controlled-substances forfeiture law, qualifying vehicles and other conveyances, real property, money, and weapons may all be subject to forfeiture. In a contested proceeding involving those categories, the state generally bears a preponderance-of-the-evidence standard.

Of Dust, Copper, and Breath: Matter, Life, Consciousness, and the Soul Form
Of Dust, Copper, and Breath Matter, Life, Consciousness, and the Soul I. Matter Matter is the physical substance of the world: stone, water, metal, bone, blood, and the bodies of living creatures. Chemistry commonly distinguishes between organic compounds, associated chiefly with carbon chemistry, and inorganic materials, which include metals, minerals, salts, and many other substances, although the boundary between these categories is not absolute. Neither term should be confused with living or nonliving, because living organisms depend continually upon inorganic substances such as water, calcium, iron, sodium, phosphorus, and potassium. Human bone itself joins an organic collagen framework to an inorganic calcium-phosphate mineral phase, demonstrating that life does not inhabit a chemical realm separated from the mineral world. The more important question, therefore, is not merely what substances an organism contains, but how those substances are selected, ordered, maintained, and made to serve the unity of the living whole. II. The Bloodworm The marine bloodworm, Glycera dibranchiata, renders this principle unusually visible because its soft body contains four formidable jaws en
