Trump administration proposes opening waters off California and Florida to oil drilling The proposed five-year schedule for offshore oil and gas leasing released Thursday represents the most expansive plan in decades.

The Trump administration is moving to reopen California offshore waters to new #oil and #gas leasing and revive a long-running clash with #Florida Republicans over Gulf Coast #drilling. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

The west coast as we know it is about to disappear. Trump is selling off massive amounts of federal lands in the Cascades, the Rockies, the Sierras, and Alaska.

Not just leasing them to logging, oil, and mineral companies but SELLING THEM. Once they're gone, they're gone!

Today, the California coast we cherish and the delicate ocean ecosystems just beyond it face a renewed threat from offshore drilling. We oppose the Trump Administration’s 5-year oil and gas leasing program and will continue to defend our coastline, wildlife, economy, and health from this threat.

New York bill would make Big Oil pay for the home insurance crisis | Center for Climate Integrity Senate Bill 8585 would keep insurance affordable and available by holding oil and gas giants accountable for damage from extreme weather disasters

Extreme weather disasters are driving up home insurance rates nationwide, and New Yorkers have had enough.

Senate Bill 8585, introduced this week by New York Senator Brian Kavanagh, would empower insurers in the state to take Big Oil companies to court for fueling climate disasters.

We have had 48+ hours of radio silence at #COP30.

No new texts. The negotiations are happening behind closed doors with little scrutiny.

We are here to push for an ambitious outcome – but it is becoming more and more difficult if the door does not open.

Struggling soybean farmer: ‘This is a man-made crisis caused by Donald Trump’
Source: CNN. No shame plus no pity. Didn’t learned anything from the first time. Sorry for not saving the crumbs from that 1st taxpayers money you received on your not earned bailout 🤣

Farmers caught in Trump's trade war wait for bailout. But many call it a temporary fix. This harvest season, the trade war with China has added to the farm economy’s woes, as producers deal with lower crop prices and high costs.

President Trump keeps promising bailouts but listen to one farmer:
“We want markets. Markets are consistent. We can bet on them,” he said. “When you go to these ad hoc bailout programs, they definitely help. But it’s kind of like putting a Band-aid on a gunshot wound.” www.wpr.org/news/farmers....

Consensus on the Colorado River?? Not quite yet... River basins don’t get much more complicated than the Colorado – seven states, two countries, 30 Tribal nations, 11 National Parks, and a $1.4 trillion economy span its 247,000 square mile reach, not ...

With warming temperatures, unpredictable precipitation, and a growing population across the Southwest all contributing to diminished Colorado River flows, the need for new river management guidelines is urgent.

Did you really think she was going to release all of the #EpsteinFiles ???

The Department of Justice (DOJ) quietly shared state voter-registration data with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), despite earlier assurances to state election officials that the information would only be used for routine voter-list maintenance. Beginning in May 2025, DOJ

The sight of Mohammed bin Salman sitting in the Oval Office should make all Americans want to vomit. It sure does for me.

Probably try to buy us off 1 month before the midterm election

The Russians are now directly attacking Poland, a NATO member country, and the US does nothing about it. Trump’s weakness only emboldens Putin.

Kudos to reporter Mary Bruce. More actual journalism please!

ABC’S MARY BRUCE: “Why wait for Congress? Why not just release the files?”

TRUMP: “It’s not the question, it’s your attitude. I think you’re a terrible reporter.”

(TRANSLATION: She’s asking the right questions and he can’t handle it)

For the record/ mary Bruce is a very good reporter

Books are the key to wisdom, and reading is the bridge to exploring the world.

Clay Higgins was the only one to vote ‘No’ on releasing the Epstein files.
