National Climate Assessment Authors Are Dismissed by Trump Administration The Trump administration told researchers it was β€œreleasing” them from their roles. It puts the future of the assessment, which is required by Congress, in doubt.

πŸ’” for my children: β€œThe Trump administration has dismissed the hundreds of scientists and experts who had been compiling the federal government’s flagship report on how global warming is affecting the country.” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/28/c...

YouTube video by Senator Chris Van Hollen Just landed in El Salvador to discuss release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia.

I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

Ky bill to strip groundwater pollution oversight β€˜protects the coal industry,' sponsor says A Kentucky lawmaker is hoping to limit the definition of β€œwaters of the Commonwealth” protected under anti-pollution laws.

A bill that passed out of committee this week in the KY legislature would redefine waters of the commonwealth to exclude groundwater. This could allow pollution of source waters. Friends - Please call your senator and politely ask them to vote no on KY Senate Bill 89! www.lpm.org/news/2025-02...

The image features a quote from Jennifer Jones, Director of the Center for Science & Democracy at the Union of Concerned Scientists. The quote emphasizes that everyone in the U.S. deserves clean air and water, criticizing former President Trump’s decision to cut environmental justice staff, which leaves vulnerable communities exposed to pollution. The text is white, with key phrases in orange for emphasis. A circular portrait of Jennifer Jones appears at the bottom right, and a "READ THE STATEMENT" button is prominently displayed. The background is dark and blurred, featuring scientific glassware.

On behalf of the Trump administration, EPA leaders notified Office of Environmental Justice & External Civil Rights employees on Wednesday that the administration plans to place staff on administrative leave, according to news reports & information shared with UCS.
