Grijalva: I do think that Speaker Johnson misplayed his hand.

There are people all over this nation who were out there with signs that said, “Swear her in.” They wouldn’t have even known about me otherwise.

Thank you for highlighting how corrupt the system you’re protecting really is.

Jamaica, Caribbean, face Hurricane Melissa without USAID As Jamaica and other Caribbean governments wait to see the devastation Hurricane Melissa leaves behind, a stark reality is settling in: the U.S. Agency for International Development no longer exists t...

Rubio 🤮 killed USAID, handed disaster relief to State, then watched them lay off the experts. Now the Caribbean faces Melissa with no lifeline. When families search for food and clean water, remember who made sure the help never came.

EPA Releases Proposal to Rescind Obama-Era Endangerment Finding, Regulations that Paved the Way for Electric Vehicle Mandates | US EPA The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin released the agency’s proposal to rescind the 2009 Endangerment Finding, which has been used to justify over $1 trillion in regu...

Lee Zeldin, Trump’s EPA chief, plans to revoke the 2009 “endangerment finding”, the EPA’s legal basis for regulating climate pollution. This isn’t rollback. It’s sabotage. Without it, the EPA can’t limit emissions from cars, power plants, or industry. Decades of progress gone.

Forest Service to Abandon Nine Regional Offices - Mountain Journal As Washington continues slash-and-burn policies for federal agencies, USDA announces consolidation of offices responsible for 193 million acres of public land

Trump’s USDA is killing the Forest Service’s 9 regions dumping 193 million acres into chaos severing field science from Missoula to Asheville and gutting fire crews mid-season. The loggers are back in suits and the forests just lost their last line of defense.

On a day that the congress has decided to go on an early recess and take 6 weeks of paid leave it is important to remember that in the U.S there is no federal law that guarantees paid maternity leave or family leave.
Just something to think about in case you need more things to think about today.
