The 2025 Can-Am Origin (left) and Pulse (right) electric motorcycles are now available for preorder at select BRP dealerships. First unveiled two years ago with limited details, the 2025 Can-Am Pulse electric streetbike and 2025 Can-Am Origin electric dual-sport are now officially available to preorder at select Can-Am dealers. These two bikes, which share a Rotax electric motor, mark Can-Am’s return to the two-wheeled world and join the company’s on-road three-wheelers in a growing product lineup.  The bright yellow battery serves as a structural element and clearly announces that the Origin and Pulse are electric-powered motorcycles. 2025 Can-Am Pulse and Origin Shared Components  While these two motorcycles differ in key ways to suit particular terrain, their heart is the same. They’re powered by an 11-kW Rotax motor and an 8.9-kWh battery. The motor has a claimed output of 47 hp and 53 lb-ft of torque, claimed to get from 0-60 mph in as little as 3.8 seconds and deliver a top speed of 80 mph. The liquid-cooling system cools the battery, inverter, on-board charger, and motor and is said to limit battery degradation over time and optimize range and charge time compared to an air-cooled battery.  Related: Can-Am Motorcycles Docuseries: Creating the All-Electric Origin and Pulse  No clutch lever is needed on these electric bikes.

Special counsel Jack Smith has charged Donald Trump in a superseding indictment in the ‘federal election interference case.’ BREAKING: Special counsel Jack Smith has charged former Pres. Trump in a superseding indictment in his federal election subversion case. https://t.co/pgtZV1YHCr — ABC News (@ABC) August 27, 2024 “Today, a federal grand jury in the District of Columbia returned a superseding indictment, ECF No. 226, charging the defendant with the same criminal offenses that were charged in the original indictment,” a Justice Department spokesperson said, according to ABC News. “The superseding indictment, which was presented to a new grand jury that had not previously heard evidence in this case, reflects the Government’s efforts to respect and implement the Supreme Court’s holdings and remand instructions,” the spokesperson added. “A grand jury in Washington, DC has just returned a superseding indictment against President Trump with four charges, accusing him of attempting to ‘subvert the election.’ THIS IS MORE DEMOCRAT LAWFARE! What’s ACTUALLY being subverted here is the Supreme Court’s ruling granting presidential immunity,” journalist Nick Sortor commented. #BREAKING: A grand jury in Washington, DC has just returned a superseding indictment against President Trump with four charges, accusing him of attempting to “subvert the election.” THIS IS MORE DEMOCRAT LAWFARE!

FIRE JACK SMITH! pic.twitter.com/XEkg04mABq — Ryan Fournier (@RyanAFournier) August 27, 2024 NPR reports: Prosecutor Molly Gaston, in a new court filing, said the Justice Department will not insist that Trump make an in-person appearance for arraignment on the new indictment. The Justice Department said it will confer with Trump’s lawyers and try to come up with a joint proposal for how to proceed in the case. Judge Tanya Chutkan had asked for an update by Friday. Special Counsel Jack Smith has been consulting with other officials inside the Justice Department for weeks about the case, which accuses then President Trump of leading a conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election and disenfranchise millions of voters. The scheme allegedly culminated in a cascade of violent attacks on police at the U.S. Capitol three years ago. Trump has denied all charges. His lawyers have said Trump’s words and actions on and before Jan. 6, 2021, amounted to legitimate inquiry about possible election fraud. A conservative supermajority on the Supreme Court largely sided with Trump, giving the former president absolute immunity from prosecution for acts that are “core” to his official duties. The high court ruling, written by Chief Justice John Roberts, specifically carved out part of the case where Trump had been accused of misusing the Justice Department to pursue phony theories of fraud at the ballot box. But the opinion left open many critical questions for a D.C. trial judge to pursue. Chutkan asked lawyers for both Smith and Trump for guidance about how to proceed.

Before Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he would drop out of the presidential election in battleground states, ensuring nationwide ballot access was the challenge. BURIED LEDE: RFK, Jr. NOT Ending Campaign In All States, Only In 10 Battleground States! Now, it appears getting off the ballot in battleground states is his mission. "The Wisconsin Elections Commission voted Tuesday to keep Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on the presidential ballot, despite his request to be removed," the Associated Press reports. RFK Jr. will remain on Wisconsin's presidential ballot in November The bipartisan Wisconsin Elections Commission voted 5-1 to keep his name on the ballot, citing state law, despite RFK suspending his campaign last week pic.twitter.com/cwiGgLZPHS — Matt Smith (@mattsmith_news) August 27, 2024 From the Associated Press: Kennedy’s campaign sent the Wisconsin Elections Commission a letter dated Friday asking that his name be removed from the ballot. Although Kennedy has said he would try to remove his name from the ballot in battleground states, he has made clear that he wasn’t formally ending his bid and said his supporters could continue to back him in the majority of states where they are unlikely to sway the outcome. Republican members of the commission pushed to grant Kennedy his wish to no longer be on the ballot after he suspended his campaign last week and endorsed Trump. But the commission deadlocked under opposition from Democrats who pointed to Wisconsin state law that says once a candidate has filed for office, they must remain on the ballot unless they die. “We know Trump and Kennedy are playing games,” Democratic elections commission member Mark Thomsen said. “Whatever games they’re playing, they have to play them with Kennedy on the ballot.” According to Bridge Michigan, RFK Jr. will still appear on the ballot in Michigan.

According to the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), an adult who contracted Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) passed away due to their illness. The agency said the individual was “hospitalized due to severe central nervous system disease.” “The last reported human EEEV infection in New Hampshire was in 2014, when DHHS identified three human infections, including two fatalities. In addition to the person with EEEV infection announced today, EEEV has been detected in one horse and seven mosquito batches in New Hampshire so far this summer. EEEV has also been detected in neighboring states, including in Massachusetts (one person, one horse, and 69 mosquito samples) and Vermont (one person and 47 mosquito samples),” the agency stated. JUST IN – New Hampshire resident dies after testing positive for mosquito-borne eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) virushttps://t.co/AGTxjg6MNB — Insider Paper (@TheInsiderPaper) August 27, 2024 Per NBC News: It’s the first EEE death reported in the United States so far this year. The individual had been “hospitalized due to severe central nervous system disease,” New Hampshire health officials said. The case is the fifth this year. EEE cases have been reported in Massachusetts, New Jersey, Vermont and Wisconsin, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The nation is in the midst of peak mosquito season, as the insects tend to be most active in August and September. “The risk will continue into the fall until there is a hard frost that kills” the mosquitoes, New Hampshire’s state epidemiologist, Dr. Benjamin Chan, said in a news release Tuesday. The Massachusetts Public Health Department announced that insecticide sprays would begin this week following a case of EEE in a man in his 80s. Several Massachusetts towns said they will close public parks from dusk until dawn, when mosquitoes are most active. “We believe there is an elevated risk for EEEV infections this year in New England given the positive mosquito samples identified,” Chan said. Health officials in Oxford, Massachusetts, recommended a curfew to residents in hopes of limiting exposure to the illness. The Board of Health in Oxford recommended that residents not stay outdoors past dusk to reduce the chances of catching EEE. Town Recommends Curfew Due To Risk Of Mosquito-Borne Illness "A 41 year-old man has died from EEE in New Hampshire. Steven Perry's family tells us he went from healthy to brain dead in one week. The virus is very rare and is usually spread by infected mosquitoes. Several Massachusetts towns are spraying for mosquitoes tonight," WBZ-TV news anchor David Wade said.

EEEV can also cause severe neurological disease, such as inflammation of the brain and membranes around the spinal cord (i.e. encephalitis and meningitis). Approximately one-third of all people who develop encephalitis from EEEV die from their infection, and many others experience life-long physical or mental impacts. There is no vaccine or antiviral treatment for EEEV. Granite Staters can prevent EEEV infection by taking steps to prevent mosquito bites, including using effective mosquito repellents, wearing long sleeves and pants when outside, and avoiding outdoor activities in the early morning and evening hours when mosquitos are most active. It is also important for residents to remove standing water from around their homes to reduce mosquito populations and ensure doors and windows have tight-fitting screens without holes. WATCH:

WASHINGTON — The United States is urging certain foreign nations not to fuel Sudan's civil war by arming fighting factions, as the country faces one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. Meanwhile, Washington has also called on Sudan's warring sides to enforce a code of conduct to reduce abuses, noting that the army is considering the proposal after its rival paramilitary forces have agreed to it. More than 25 million people face acute hunger and more than 10 million have been displaced from their homes since fighting erupted in April 2023 between the Sudanese Armed Forces, or SAF, and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, or RSF, the State Department said. “Unfortunately, we've seen a significant proliferation of the number of external actors that are playing a role on both sides,” and they are not putting the interest of the Sudanese people “at the core of this,” said Tom Perriello, U.S. special envoy for Sudan. “In addition to UAE [the United Arab Emirates] supporting the RSF,” Perriello told reporters on Tuesday, “we see foreign fighters coming in from across the Sahel. We've seen Iran, Russia, other negative actors on the SAF side.” U.S.-brokered peace talks on Sudan that concluded last week in Geneva failed to end the country's 16-month conflict. But one of the warring sides, the RSF, agreed to a code of conduct pledging to avoid violence against women, exploitation at checkpoints and the destruction of crops. Perriello said that the U.S. has presented the proposal to the SAF leaders who were absent in the Switzerland negotiations. "They have the code of conduct in front of them. We hope to get a response from them in the coming days," Perriello said. The United States has accused the SAF and RSF of war crimes, with the RSF specifically charged with ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity targeting the indigenous African-origin people of Darfur. During the talks in Geneva, the U.S., along with representatives from the African Union, the United Arab Emirates, the United Nations, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Switzerland, focused on reopening three humanitarian corridors — the Western border crossing in Darfur at Adre, the northern Dabbah Road from Port Sudan and the southern access route through Sennar. Later this week, the U.S. will have a first formal follow-up with the heads of delegations. Humanitarian assistance deliveries have resumed via two of the three routes: across the border at Adre from Chad and along the Dabbah Road into famine-stricken areas of Sudan. In a statement late Monday, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken welcomed the reopening of humanitarian corridors, saying lack of humanitarian aid access into Darfur over the past six months has exacerbated the historic levels of famine and acute hunger across Sudan, particularly within the Zamzam camp.
