The EPA no longer exists. Its actions yesterday were an act of appeasement for the oil and gas industry, the very sector it’s meant to oversee.

POTUS doesn’t care about your health or your child’s health.

Society will bear the costs of this selfishness.

Trump's EPA will stop regulating greenhouse gases, setting up a legal fight The Environmental Protection Agency is eliminating a Clean Air Act finding from 2009 that is the basis for much of the federal government's actions to rein in climate change.

Every country surely must understand by now that any agreement they have entered into with the US and any agreement they are currently negotiating is utterly worthless while Trump is president.

Trump administration denies Illinois appeal for disaster relief; Pritzker calls decision ‘politically motivated’ Disaster declaration would have unlocked federal assistance for five counties affected by heavy rains and flooding last summer.

The Trump administration has denied the state of Illinois’ appeal for a disaster declaration that would have unlocked federal assistance to thousands of residents affected by heavy rains and flooding last summer, a decision that Gov. JB Pritzker denounced as politically driven.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Remember this…

Tax cuts for giant corporations and the super rich.

Paid for by cuts to the social safety net for everyone else.

Trickle-up economics.

“The reason Trump didn’t apologize for the Obama post is because he is a small, petty, fragile man who cannot take responsibility for his own actions. And the second reason, frankly, is because he is a racist.”

New Quinnipiac poll:

63% of voters disapprove of ICE

60% want ICE out of Minneapolis

58% want Kristi Noem removed from office

Trump's big, ugly budget megabill gives ICE more agents than the FBI, more jails than the federal Bureau of Prisons, and a larger budget than most countries' militaries.

Not one more penny for ICE.

I do not make this comparison lightly.

This is the authoritarian tell:

If a judge rules against your preferred outcome, declare the judge illegitimate.

If that mindset takes hold, courts stop being guardrails and become targets.

Democracy cannot survive a government that believes the law only counts when it wins.

Pinned lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Aug 19, 2021 Almost three years ago, my editor called me early one November morning. A wildfire had sparked near a town called Paradise, he said. Could I go?

Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp.

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

More Parents Are Rejecting a Lifesaving Vitamin Shot for Newborns

For more than 60 years, newborns in the US have routinely received vitamin K injections to prevent potentially life-threatening bleeding. These aren't vaccines, but they are getting swept up in anti-vaccine sentiment, doctors told me, and more parents are rejecting them.

This is a great example of what Marx called "the vampire thirst for the living blood of labour."

In other words, appeal to hatred.

It's something being tried in Canada, too. But I think our multi-party Westminister parliamentary system is more robust to it. As well, we are not subject to:
(a) years-long election campaigns
(b) unlimited political donations
(c) rampant gerrymandering

Judge Reyes starts with a comparison: George Washington versus Kristi Noem.

Our politics are fundamentally corrupt.

Unmarked car, no lights or police insignia. Masked armed men leap out. Victim not in the act of committing any crime. This is not how a serious federal law enforcement agency acts in a free society.

How is this not supposed to be a “right wing paramilitary force loyal to the regime”?

There is no world, no scenario, no imaginable or unimaginable turn of events under which the Trump Administration will not end up regretting this stupefyingly idiotic arrest.

CNN: Florida Rep. Maxwell Frost assaulted at Sundance Film Festival event, police say By Aleena Fayaz Updated Jan 24, 2026

NBC News: Man lunges at Ilhan Omar during town hall and tries to spray her with unknown substance January 27, 2026

Two Democratic members of Congress attacked in three days. Maxwell Frost was assaulted on Saturday, Ilan Omar tonight.

It's barely been a year.

It’s time to investigate.

I am launching a review into whether TikTok is violating state law by censoring Trump-critical content.
