Trump EPA Abandons Climate Working Group Report in Endangerment Finding Repeal Emails from the hand-picked, secretive group of climate crisis deniers revealed flaws in their methods and β€œanimus” toward leading scientists.

It is so funny that the Trumpies tried to pull together a passably credible group of denialist climate scientists & the whole affair was such a clown show that they had to just cut bait & abandon it entirely.

He Was a Climate Activist. One Day, the F.B.I. Came Knocking.

β€œThis door knock marks a significant escalation,” said Ronald L. Kuby, the man’s lawyer, who represents several climate activists.

β€œThe fact that they went to the wrong address of a member who has not been active suggests that they are starting an investigation. They are digging.”

So NJ lawmakers wrote a bill to rein in ICE.

Trump’s Flagpoles: A Symbol and a Signal. Trump wants the world to believe he gifted the White House two giant flagpoles.

Trump chose 88-foot flagpoles for the White House when civic installations are almost always measured in clean, round increments like 80 or 100. That is not a default measurement. It is a deliberate one.

88 is a white supremacist numerical code for β€œHeil Hitler.”

Immunity addresses criminal liability. But if a president knowingly defies a lawful court order, that is not simply a routine civil matter. Courts have contempt authority, including criminal contempt for willful defiance.

Calling it civil does not eliminate the potential consequences.

Could aliens in another galaxy see dinosaurs on Earth? How big would a telescope need to be to see Earth’s dinosaurs from 66 million light-years away? Think bigβ€”and then think bigger

In other news…

This was fun: a reader asked if aliens were in a galaxy 66 million light-years away, how big a telescope would they need to see dinosaurs on Earth?

Guess!

No; bigger. Try again. Nope, still bigger. Third try? Nope. Way, WAY bigger.

Spotlight On: Statins - I Spy Physiology Blog Heart disease remains the No. 1 killer in America, taking more lives per year than cancer and accidents combined.

After blasting WHO costs, Trump officials propose more expensive alternative HHS proposes spending $2 billion a year to re-create systems the U.S. accessed through the WHO at a fraction of the cost, according to officials briefed on the matter.

Finally, the Trump admin's decision to withdraw U.S. funding & membership from #WHO is again relevant given its proposal to re-create some of WHO's capabilities β€” but at a *far* higher cost. That raises new questions about its cost-saving rationales. πŸ§ͺ 6/6 www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

Americans are told low taxes equals freedom. But freedom that disappears when you get sick, lose your job or age is conditional. The real question is not what you pay. It's what you get in return.
