By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference.

But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

No idea what your point is?

This video makes me physically ill and furious. I also want to know...what the question that Senator Padilla was trying to ask Kristi Noem? Something about 6 criminals???

Trump Is Harming National Parks for Future Generations, Former NPS Director Warns - Inside Climate News Jonathan Jarvis ran the U.S. National Park Service under former President Barack Obama. He has serious concerns about the future of public lands under Trump.

I had a fascinating chat last week with Jon Jarvis, the former director of the National Park Service under Obama. Give it a read if you want to learn about the inner workings of the NPS and the major threats the parks face under the Trump administration. insideclimatenews.org/news/0205202...

That is a phenomenal interview with one of the most thoughtful leaders the NPS has ever had. Thank you.

E.P.A. Targets Dozens of Environmental Rules as It Reframes Its Purpose Lee Zeldin, the E.P.A. administrator, said the agency’s mission was to make it cheaper to buy cars, heat homes and run businesses.

Someone tell Lee Zeldin that the EPA is not the Chamber of Commerce. Insanity, dangerous, unsustainable, criminal.

A line graph showing atmospheric CO2 levels at Mauna Loa Observatory from 1955 to 2025. The y-axis represents CO2 mole fraction in parts per million (ppm), ranging from 320 to 420 ppm, while the x-axis is years.

The most iconic figure in the environmental sciences is the Keeling Curve, the CO₂ record from Mauna Loa, Hawaii.

@noaa.gov had a wonderful site where you could visualize and download these data, and now it's just gone. These data belong to us and we should not let this happen!

Repeal IRA’s Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax $222 billion 10-year in costs VIABILITY: HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) imposes a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax on adjusted financial statement income for corporations. This option would repeal the IRA's corporate AMT.

Here’s another $222 billion handout to huge, profitable corporations. Odds are, the corporations will turn a lot of these handouts into stock buybacks for the benefit of wealthy shareholders and executives:

The devil’s in the details and in this case the details are really, really bad.

Remember when "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" tried to teach us about tariffs and no one was paying attention

Good post!

Killing The IRA's Tax Credit Is a Big Win For China The IRA's $7,500 is designed to incentivize U.S. EV supply chain investment. Without it, it's not clear if our EV supply chain will get off the ground.

The Inflation Reduction Act's $7,500 EV tax credit is incentivizing U.S. EV supply chain investment, and that's by design. Killing it, as Trump is contemplating, would be a big gift for China.
