Will I be the first to suggest the carbon offsets worked exactly as planned: they delayed real action for another 25 years

In 2019, Trump Made Her a Federal Judge. In 2025, She Blocked His Troop Deployment.

The Trump administration claims "far-left Democrat judges" are obstructing their efforts.

But here is Judge Immergut's background:
• Investigated Bill Clinton
• Became a Republican-appointed prosecutor
• Trump appointed her as a federal judge

"AI is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be re-consumed" so succinct! so good!

The latest EAT Lancet report finds that a global shift towards a "planetary health diet” 🥕🐟 could cut agri emissions by 15% by 2050

It proposes:

- A plant-based diet, limited intake of meat and dairy, and other foods

- Access to just food systems

- Inclusion of dietary cultural differences

Portland’s weekend of ICE protests: Tear gas, National Guard restraining orders and false claims of a city burning to the ground After his order for an Oregon National Guard deployment was blocked, Trump turned to the National Guard in California and Texas for hundreds of federal troops he could send to Portland.

An unprecedented weekend put Portland at the center of national headlines, as President Trump continued his push to deploy National Guard members into the city over the objections of city and state elected officials and a federal judge.

What is a "globalist" and why are they not allowed in the country?

Data provided by the mayor’s office and the King County Regional Homelessness Authority shows otherwise. The year before, CoLEAD moved a far bigger share of its clients from its city-funded beds into permanent housing than emergency shelter operators as a whole: 65%, compared with 26%.

I really appreciate how the piece digs into fact checking whether the various policies and programs were working or not! A major reason I subscribe to both KUOW and ProPublica!

New @ashleyhiruko.bsky.social investigation from @kuow.org / @propublica.org:

A Trump-appointed federal judge in Oregon on Saturday temporarily blocked his administration’s plan to deploy the Oregon National Guard in Portland so now he’s sending 300 from California with Newsom fighting the move in court

Trump federalizes the National Guard in Chicago, while troops arrive in Oregon The White House said Trump "authorized" the deployment of 300 Illinois National Guard members, after vowing to send troops into Chicago. Meanwhile, Guard members arrived in Oregon from California.

ICE is hog tying protesters in Portland and removing them on Dollies.

This is dangerous and could cause serious injury.

The Department of Homeland Security thinks it’s a joke.

They’ve shared this video with the tagline “Refuse to Walk? We’ll give you a ride”.

Stay strong Portland.

WATCH LIVE: Trump, Hegseth celebrate Navy's 250th anniversary at Naval Station Norfolk President Donald Trump has decided not to let the government shutdown interfere with a stop in Norfolk, Virginia, on Sunday to salute the Navy as it celebrates its 250th anniversary.

You mean the major US navy base where they're having to spend literally hundreds of millions of dollars to adapt to the accelerating impacts of #climatechange on sea level and extreme events?

Another good point raised here by Alex. The streamers who are selectively pushing a narrative on behalf of the federal government and pretending to be "journalists" should be of concern to anyone who cares about accurate and truthful information.

“Federal officers were flanked by videographers, toting professional equipment and wearing high-visibility vests. They filmed from behind the lines of officers, capturing the show of force. At least two drones swept over the scenes.”

Chevron's El Segundo refinery has a history of safety and environmental violations Over the last five years, Chevron's El Segundo refinery has 46 violations of environmental safety rules; over the last decade, it was also issued 17 OSHA violations.

Refinery explodes in densely populated neighborhood. Because of gov shutdown and Trump deregulatory policies, it may never be investigated.

Maybe we should include the PUFFIN OF SHAME with all corrections.

Alas, I got a source’s name wrong in my story on Puget Sound puffins. We fixed it and added a correction note, right before the story’s last, fun puffin photo. Now I feel like the PUFFIN OF SHAME is glaring at me. Makes me want VERY MUCH to never err again!
