I’m heartbroken too and I’m not from Texas. Big Bend is one of my favorite national parks. Such a gorgeous place.

What a sick dude.

Disgusting that they find this funny.

He's right: in light of Republican policies, rural Americans will have decreasing access to real healthcare. They will have to settle for some garbage chatbot selling them snake oil.

It shouldn't be this way, but it absolutely will be this way if Republicans stay in power.

Tom Philpott @tomphilpott.bsky.social is my go-to guy for critical ag journalism. Here he and his colleagues respond to a critique of their latest work.

And this is only government scientists. University scientists are leaving for other countries because of lost research dollars and the hostile environment here. Talked to one yesterday. What short-sighted insanity.

Babies born to mothers living near mountaintop removal are 42% more likely to have birth defects, probably due to the ultrafine dust from blasting. It’s good to see new studies connecting more dots.

Chris Madel ends GOP bid for governor, says he can’t support federal ‘retribution’ against Minnesota His exit comes as some other Republicans have started to distance themselves from the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in the state.

so chris madel was providing legal advice to ICE agent jonathan ross after he killed renee good in minneapolis, but after alex pettri gets killed by border patrol, madel is out of the governor’s race because the federal government is going too far?

Make America Sick Again. What stupidity.

Great story, Liza.

Listening to his words at an event yesterday, I thought the same thing... though his wisdom has always rung true for America, it really resonates now. The U.S. is in such moral crisis.

Judge reverses Trump order halting Revolution Wind Suspending the lease for the Orsted project off Connecticut and Rhode Island was "unreasonable," the federal judge ruled Monday.

Fully agree: the budget is a huge win AND things are definitively not OK. An entire generation of early career scientists has been severely affected, many more senior scientists have been pushed out of jobs, and there’s a lingering air of uncertainty that will affect decision-making for *years*.

Reads like an advertorial lol

It's refreshing to see a reporter telling the plain truth in plain language, without the jive, highly affected "impartiality."

"raid on an American city" would likely get an NYT reporter yelled at, insane as that fact is.

If Burgum cared squat about the east coast he’d know that killing offshore wind will only drive our high electricity prices even higher. The region needs to diversify off natural gas.

The Trump appointee who signed the letter is a former fossil fuel lobbyist who hasn’t been approved by the senate.
