Whither Trump's peace in Ukraine? Since the beginning of this year, President Donald Trump has turned much of his personal attention to foreign policy, from Venezuela to Greenland to Iran. Cuba, Mexico, Canada, South Africa, Nigeria, ...

"The pressing question, therefore, is how peace can be restored. The Trump administration's answer has been to put pressure on the victim of aggression and not on the aggressor," writes Edward C. Chow, an oil and gas expert, in this op-ed.

US military aid to Ukraine dropped 99% in 2025, report finds European countries stepped in to fill the gap, increasing military aid to Ukraine by 67% and non-military support by 59% in 2025, according to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy.

The Trump administration didn’t ask NASEM for input, even though the Clean Air Act indicates that the EPA should consult with the National Academies on scientific issues. Instead, NASEM had to self-fund and fast-track its work to meet the tight deadline set for public comment last September.

Said Joseph Goffman, EPA’s top air official during the Biden administration, “This move is a fundamental betrayal of EPA’s responsibility to protect human health. It is legally indefensible, morally bankrupt, and completely untethered from the scientific record.”

Children's author Jacqueline Wilson: 'Reading is in danger'

Beloved children’s author Jacqueline Wilson hopes her Imagine festival will inspire a new generation of readers.

Economy is based on ecological systems and they’re not zero sum, they’re circular, so economies ought to be circular.

Thanks! I need to read the article! But I am absolutely convinced that valuing nature using financial tools is completely the wrong way to look at things. I wrote a book about it which no one will read. It’s called Love is Green. Now I’ll read the article…

He’s wrong - accounting is not a good way of valuing nature - but he’s right - GDP is a useless measure of wealth.

“In my dream world, there would be a congressional investigation into Donald Trump’s role with Epstein, and that he, like any other US citizen, would be called to answer questions.”

Appalling

The really interesting thing is how appalling the grammar, punctuation and spelling is in the emails - well, in the bits we can read. Perhaps Musk, etc, decided they’re too rich to bother with the rules. Language matters, though. Ask Orwell.

It’s human lives we’re talking about here. Right?

Great. Any word on political prisoners?

Who gets paid €270m to home children in Tusla’s care – and how do they perform? Three quarters of the children placed in residential care in Ireland live in commercial accommodation. Inspections of the largest owners’ children’s homes show a mixed record. (w/ The Currency)

I went to Brussels on a fact finding mission some years ago with a group of environmentalit’s of different stripes. Lobbying everywhere and we had nothing to offer but were still accused of lobbying.

Why didn’t they just call it the Vegas nerve and be done with it?

Polish PM Tusk: “It is Russia who rejected the peace plan prepared by the US, not Zelensky. The only Russian response was more missile attacks on Ukrainian cities. That’s why the only solution is to increase pressure on Russia. And you all know it.”

Where will the internet be shut down next?

Eat real food is pretty simple.

It’s pretty hard to justify shutting down the internet for something like terrorism threats when these have to be a major headache in any regime. Gagging and blindfolding us to what is going on is blatant abuse of power. Come on Musk! Where’s Starlink?
