#ICYMI: Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

Hello journalists. If you report this you gotta say that under the Constitution he has no power to do it. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

yesterday @davidjroth.bsky.social used the phrase “their brains were defeated by their phones” and i genuinely think we’ve lost like meaningful swaths of some generations to this

Hello. The president's continued insistence that the BLS numbers are rigged, political, or otherwise manipulated is a lie. Please stop saying 'baseless claim.' Thank you.

I’m trying to figure out the right way to say this, because: Look, the CPB closing is devastating, and I don’t in any way want to blow even a wisp of smoke that it isn’t. But twice today, I’ve seen people express how sad they are that all of public television and radio is over. Not true! (1/3)

They’re calling the last 24 hours “the great dismantling of various institutions relevant to Henry Epp’s life” (BLS, CPB, the Minnesota Twins)

Okay, *now you can start to worry about data being manipulated.

Wind energy faces headwinds under Trump To qualify for clean energy tax credits, the recent GOP tax bill requires new wind projects to start construction by July of next year.

President Trump remarked last weekend that “we will not allow a windmill to be built in the United States,” and cuts to wind energy tax credits make the statement more tangible. As energy demand grows, though, we may see a boost in investment anyway.

As Zeldin speaks, the heat index at the bottom of the screen is showing parts of the country hitting feels-like temperatures of 121 degrees. Extreme heat is a leading cause of death from climate change, a toll that will increase as CO2 levels rise.

The EPA proposes gutting its greenhouse gas rules. Here's what it means for cars and pollution The Trump administration has effectively eliminated two rules designed to promote cleaner cars. Now, as the EPA suggests not considering carbon dioxide to be pollution, the last is poised to fall.

When construction closes an important road, small businesses take a hit In Burlington, Vermont, extensive construction on Main Street has left many small businesses struggling to stay afloat.

For some small business and restaurant owners, turning a profit is already an uphill battle. But when construction and road closures limit access, a tough situation can become much more daunting.

Just so’s we’re all clear, almost 3/4 of everything we buy from Europe is now 15% more expensive.

A personal note on a terrible day Hello everyone! It’s a terrible day!

We at Louisville Public Media just lost $376,000 due to Congress passing the rescission bill last night to claw back funds from public media across America. Today we’re asking those who value our work to help make up those funds in an emergency drive so we can maintain the staff/services we provide:

I’ve spent my entire career in public radio, including over a decade at member stations.

There’s no way around it: defunding CPB will be devastating to public radio. And it will cut off career paths for young journalists.

Here's the thing...if you fire Powell, he's still just one FOMC vote. He doesn't set interest rates himself. I'm not sure this would accomplish what Trump thinks it would.

Glad I’m not the only one who’s experienced this. I thought I was going crazy.
