Women veterans call for greater representation in battle for services

To mark Veterans Day, women veterans are calling for greater female representation within the military to address the high rate of sexual assaults and lack of adequate mental health care. Under the Trump administration, the Pentagon has removed several high-ranking female military officers and blocked the promotions of dozens more. Rebecca Cornell du Houx, executive director of the Sisters in Arms Center in Augusta, which provides emergency shelter to women veterans and their children, said women leaders are more likely to champion policies demanding safety and respect. "It is really necessary that we create a culture where sexual assault, harassment isn't permitted, and it goes back to ensuring that we have women in leadership positions," Cornell du Houx asserted. One in three active-duty service members reported incidents of unwanted sexual contact or sexual assault to the Department of War last year, up from one in four in 2023, but Cornell du Houx noted many assaults still go unreported. Military sexual trauma significantly increases the risk of suicide and homelessness for women veterans, who now make up 10% of the overall homeless veteran population.

Georgia Power disputes Sierra Club report on fossil fuel plans

A recent report from the Sierra Club gave Georgia Power an F grade for the fourth consecutive year, citing the utility's continued reliance on fossil fuels and limited planned expansion of renewable energy. The claims are disputed by the state's largest power generator, which says the report fails to acknowledge the utility's efforts to keep down costs for ratepayers while remaining a reliable source for electricity. According to the environmental group's 2026 Dirty Truth Report , Georgia Power scored poorly due to continued use of nonrenewable energy. The report evaluates utilities nationwide based on their plans to retire coal-fired power plants, add renewable energy, and avoid building new natural gas generation.

Sierra Club said that was the lowest overall score since the report was first published in January 2021 and eight points lower than last year. The Sierra Club, a national environmental organization, advocates for clean energy and policies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Under the report's methodology, utilities earn points by committing to retire coal plants by 2030 and add clean energy resources
