It’s tragic that Left Wing is up. But the bigger story is the reduction of Right Wing terror as it moves from the shadows and into the White House.

We had some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.

Despite backsliding in the US, global investment in renewable energy stayed strong in the first half of 2025. This is the energy of the future, and the GOP is letting the rest of the world develop it.

Plan to return grizzlies to the North Cascades appears to be in hibernation A federal plan to bring grizzly bears back to Washington's North Cascades appears to have gone into hibernation under the Trump administration.

Not how democratic government should operate!

β€œNobody left who cares at FWS or NPS is foolish enough to stick their neck out for bears or much else at this point. Sad state of affairs not just for bears but for rule of law,” Mitch Friedman, executive director of Conservation Northwest.

Trump's politburo to screen permitting of energy other than fossil fuels. Is this the "all of the above" energy policy he campaigned on?
"β€œAll Department-related decisions and actions concerning wind and solar energy facilities will undergo elevated review by the Office of the Secretary"

Trump Is So Angry With Putin He Delayed Sanctions For 50 Days But Its Not All Bad News

Just posted on the Trump announcement. A real mixed bag and hardly the awesome package for Ukraine that had been promised. Trump gives Putin sanctions protection for 50 days and promises Ukraine defensive weapons. It’s saying to Putin, keep doing what you're doing. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

You’ll Never Believe Where Kash Patel’s Election Fraud Bombshell Came From Scouring the swamps to smear his predecessor.

The source of the Patel/Grassley report alleging a Chinese plot to steal the election for Biden appears to have gotten intel from a Facebook rumor and had a sub-source who said China was building underground bases in Republican states to disperse COVID

Trump has taken a firm stand that none of Putin's missiles and drones should be wasted. Worst. Person. In. The. World.
