I don't care that Trump is a Russian asset or if he is a Russian asset I do care if he screws Americans and I care if Australia remains aligned with him

MAGA wants peace in the same way a guy that beats his wife just wants a happy marriage.

Trumpism is a cult.

This is how you welcome the leader of the free world.

Why It Matters

This investigation is an attempt to dismantle Biden-era climate initiatives under the pretense of financial oversight. By using law enforcement to target climate funding, the Trump administration is leveraging the legal system for political gain.

leaving them unable to continue their work on clean energy initiatives. Additionally, government employees involved in the program may face legal uncertainty as the administration pushes for stricter oversight, creating a climate of fear and instability.

How Does This Affect Employees?

EPA employees are now under intense pressure as the FBI investigates their involvement in the grant program. Many workers at nonprofits that rely on these funds could lose their jobs due to the account freezes,

Meanwhile, a judge denied a request to seize the funds, but Citibank has frozen billions in grant money, preventing nonprofits from paying employees or continuing their projects.

The political nature of the investigation became even more evident when a senior federal prosecutor resigned, citing concerns that the probe was politically motivated and lacked proper evidence.

The administration is threatening legal action against these employees, treating them as if they have committed crimes, with their work and records being scrutinized.

What’s Happening?

EPA Admin Lee Zeldin, appointed by Trump, is attempting to reclaim these funds, arguing that they were allocated with insufficient oversight. As part of this effort, the FBI has questioned EPA employees about the grants, escalating the situation into a criminal investigation.

Now, EPA employees are being interrogated like criminals simply for doing their jobs.

The Trump administration has launched an FBI investigation into a $20 billion grant program for clean energy projects established under the Biden administration. These funds, managed by the EPA, were intended to support climate initiatives, particularly in low-income communities.

Yup.

It’s horrifying that it’s come to this, but as someone with a deep affinity for Europe I feel moved seeing that continent come together to try to save itself in the absence of any meaningful aid from the totalitarian regime that’s in the midst of taking over the United States through an illegal coup

@chrisbowenmp.bsky.social I’m sorry but approving coal mines in climate change times is just ridiculous! So far our entire family are voting either Green or independent. We have heard enough and waited far to long for action #auspol #ausvote2025

During the US governors ball, the US Army Choir surrounded the MAGA leadership and sang: "Do

We do not always agree with Macron—that’s an understatement—but his exchange with Trump was highly amusing. Cutting him off mid-sentence to fact-check and redirect him was a compelling display of rhetorical control.

The screens at the Department of Housing and Urban Development were playing this video this morning

The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.

If all that McDonalds and Ketamine could hurry it up a little bit, we'd be forever grateful.

I’ve been watching ‘Mo’ on Netflix. It’s really poignant for things happening in the world but done with heart, humour and the episodes are short. Good for between life stuff
