Nine organizations, represented by Earthjustice and the Law Offices of Joseph Lavigne, will intervene in a lawsuit to defend Chuckwalla National Monument in California after a district court judge approved the move. The lawsuit seeks to undo the designation of the monument, which was established in January 2025. “Chuckwalla National Monument is the result of years of collaboration among Tribal nations, diverse communities, and elected leaders—using a century-old presidential tool to protect America’s most cherished landscapes,” said Mark Green, executive director of Calwild. “Any attempt to undo these protections would be a betrayal of the public trust and bipartisan voices that made the monument possible.” The lawsuit was filed by an Idaho-based motorized recreation special interest group, Blue Ribbon Coalition, and an individual miner from Michigan, against the U.S. Department of Interior. They are represented by the Texas Public Policy Foundation and Mountain States Legal Foundation. The nine groups that have joined the lawsuit in defense of the monument include CactusToCloud Institute, California Native Plant Society, CalWild, Center for Biological Diversity, Conservation Lands Foundation, the National Parks Conservation Association, Sierra Club, Vet Voice Foundation, and The Wilderness Society. All are interested in the monument’s designation and protection. Tribal Nations including the Ft. Yuma Quechan Indian Tribe, Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians, and three other Tribal Nations have also joined as parties to the case.

Look at this. The groups suing to remove a national monument in California are all from Idaho and Michigan. The groups filing against that suit are all actually in California.

I wonder what percentage of Americans knows that the CIA helped overthrow a democracy in Iran in 1953, installing a brutal dictator who tortured and murdered people. Republicans keep citing the 1979 Islamic Revolution as if that was the start of U.S.-Iran hostilities. Go back 26 years earlier.

“This is a massive CIA cover-up,” says former CIA intelligence officer Marc Polymeropoulos.

He says in 2017, he suffered a mysterious brain injury known as Havana Syndrome. He was treated for vertigo, migraines, loss of vision, and trouble with memory and concentration.

According to the The New York Times, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has sent interceptor drones and a team of drone specialists to Jordan to help protect U.S. military bases.

Salt water laced with cancer-causing chemicals, a byproduct of oil and gas drilling, keeps shooting out of the ground in Oklahoma.

Experts say it means even more wastewater is spreading underground, poisoning the state’s water supply.
