 | Wednesday, February 11, 2026 | | | Good Morning! On this day in 1938, the BBC broadcast the first science fiction TV program ever, a 35-minute live presentation of Karel Čapek’s seminal play, R.U.R. (Rossum’s Universal Robots).

The Environmental Protection Agency plans this week to repeal the 2009 "endangerment finding" that gave the agency authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. The repeal will remove the legal basis for federal climate regulations, including vehicle emissions standards and power plant limits. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin called it "the largest act of deregulation in the history of the United States." Environmental groups said they would challenge the move in court. | Trump Warns Canada Over Bridge President Trump said he won't allow the $4.6 billion Gordie Howe International Bridge connecting Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, to open until Canada "fully compensates" the U.S., and he's demanding at least 50% ownership of the project. The six-lane bridge, approved in 2014 and expected to open early this year, was financed and built by Canada. Trump said the Obama administration granted a waiver exempting the project from Buy American requirements, allowing Canada to build it "with virtually no U.S. content, including our steel." The dispute comes during broader tensions over a possible Canada-China trade deal. Trump warned Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney against making Canada a "drop-off port" for Chinese goods and predicted China would terminate professional hockey in Canada and eliminate the Stanley Cup.

Maine saw wages rise 36.3%, with tech sector wages jumping 11.4% in 2024 alone and construction gains of 8.5%. North Carolina and Oklahoma posted the weakest performance with only 9.9% cumulative wage growth. New York and Texas fell near the middle with 20.8% gains each. See the full map here.
