The Land That Stores Nearly a Third of the World's Carbon Peatlands act as a crucial climate regulator, and are increasingly at the center of conflicts over resource extraction.

Pete Hegseth May Be The Defense Department Boss, But Top Officers Say Heโ€™s Noย Leader Like far too many people in the Trump administration -- including the 79-year-old child currently sitting in the Oval Office -- Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth thinks he's owed respect simply because of the position he holds. While a certain amount of deference is expected when you're the boss, it's much more difficult to earn the respect you need to actually be a leader.

What if the Big Law Firms Hadnโ€™t Caved to Trump? Itโ€™s not inconceivable that, had the firms resisted the Presidentโ€™s executive orders, his momentum for lawlessness might have been curbed.
