The Link Between Kids Who Walk or Bike to School and Concentration For too many American families, this is not a problem that's easily solved.

Glad this is getting covered, but also… Completely surreal to read the NYT report on this as recently disclosed info, and just an allegation. This happened to every observer I know! It happened to me twice! I have it on video both times! www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/u...

Project 2025 says (re: weather & climate) that "emphasis on prediction & management seems designed around the fatal conceit of planning for the unplannable." But it's clear that broader federal bureaucracy is being forcibly dismantled to prevent anticipation or mitigation of foreseeable future harm.

On Nov. 16, a mental health counselor recorded in Kamilla’s medical records that her mother reported the girl had lost her appetite after being “served food that contained worms.” A week later, the couple said, children were told to gather in the gym for what they believed would be a Thanksgiving celebration. Excitement spread as families saw tables set with turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, they said. The children waited expectantly. But when a parent asked when the celebration would begin, Oksana said, staff told them the holiday meal was for employees, not detainees. The children, she said, watched despondently as the feast was packed away.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

The Senate Vote That Could Change Public Lands Forever This week Republicans are pushing a legal maneuver that would undo a century of public land protections — starting with America’s most beloved wilderness.

Amidst all the atrocities taking place in the U.S., please don't forget the imminent threat of being robbed of our public lands. Once this happens, to paraphrase Heather Cox Richardson, we will never get them back. (Sample letter to U.S. senators included in article.)

As if protecting pedophiles wasn’t enough, Donald Trump is also hiring them (with your money).

These are the people who the government is paying to put on masks and throw people in vans without identifying themselves.

NEGUSE: AG Bondi, that man works for you now, right? The man in that video from J6 yelling 'kill them!' at cops. His name is Jared Wise.

BONDI: He does work for us, yes. I believe he was pardoned

NEGUSE: And you expect hard-working police officers to believe you take law enforcement seriously?

Headline card with text on the top that reads: "Republican bill guts laws protecting US consumers from toxic chemicals". Photo diptych below shows a plane dropping red fire retardant over a forest and a sign warning of pesticides on a farm.

A new Republican House bill proposes sweeping changes to US toxic chemical laws that would gut protections for consumers, workers and the environment, public health advocates mobilizing against the legislation warn.

House Republicans revolt over GOP’s attempt to hand Trump Congress’ tariff authority In a rare defeat, three House Republicans bucked their leaders to block legislation that would have restricted Congress’ ability to strike down Trump’s tariffs.

"With the threat of additional tariffs looming over foreign countries — and the 2026 midterms — House GOP leaders tried to adopt legislation Tuesday night that would prevent any lawmaker from forcing a vote on President Donald Trump’s tariffs until August."

It's honestly wild that Denver presented a road diet plan as being "good" for ped safety back in December but now says that same plan would only have "moderate" safety benefits

Yet, the new plan for a weird, unbalanced partial road diet with more lanes of thru traffic is rated as "good" for safety🤣

Trump Allies Near ‘Total Victory’ in Wiping Out U.S. Climate Regulation

The worst people in the world doing evil and stupid things.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

We already know Trump is a racist That's not new.

A Trump ‘Blockade’ Is Stalling Hundreds of Wind and Solar Projects Nationwide

Let’s be clear: when the Trump administration kills or stalls energy generation projects, that’s the White House choosing to make your electricity more expensive. Americans deserve better.
