STATEMENT: EPA Move Is Another Handout to Big Oil at Americans’ Expense

EPA repealing endangerment finding. From @thiggins.bsky.social, "This admin seems determined to make people pay for more fuel, even if it means assigning zero value to human life, denying that climate change is dangerous, and exposing children to pollution."

We’re at Susan Collins’s offices all across Maine today to demand: not one dollar more for ICE.

A pinky promise from Kristi Noem is not enough.

You could see it as a 1:1 relationship. Republicans clawed back 25% of the IRS funding in the the first showdown after Inflation Reduction Act passage. That could be the baseline: 25% of the ICE surge funding from OBBBA.

Today, President Trump’s withdrawal of the United States from the Paris Agreement becomes official. It’s a step backward for American leadership.

Never Again apparently means something different than what I thought it meant.

"His parents said their last conversation with their son was a couple days before his death. They talked about repairs he had done to the garage door of his home. The worker was a Latino man, and they said with all that was happening in Minneapolis he gave the man a $100 tip. Pretti’s mother said her son cared immensely about the direction the county was headed, especially the Trump administration’s rollback of environmental regulations."

In 2022 we gave the IRS $80 bn. When Rs took the House they made rescinding that $$ the price of funding the govt. In each funding bill enacted since, large chunks of that were pared back

Ds should do that for the ICE money from OBBBA. Paring back that $$ must be a prerequisite for funding the govt

There’s brilliant work throughout, so please consider grabbing a copy: www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/9780913...

If so (but honestly either way…) then I am very excited to share the news that the latest research volume from the Labor and Employment Relations Association and Cornell University Press has been published… AND it features a chapter I wrote...

Need something a little different than the current news? Then perhaps I can tempt you with a book that looks back at the last Administration’s efforts on climate, labor, clean energy, and manufacturing with an eye towards the future?

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

This 1943 U.S. Army film warned about fascism in America

DHS says they have a “list” of around 1,400 people to round up in what they’re calling “Operation Catch of the Day” — a completely disgusting and inhumane name for their terror campaign in our state.

The Trump administration is putting Big Oil first once again with its plans to withdraw from the UNFCCC, the bedrock of all international climate cooperation—and Americans will pay the price.

Trump’s climate war could cost America a generation, if we let it While the United States drives away its brightest minds, China is doubling down on its investment in research, positioning itself at the forefront of an industrial transformation

The damage Trump is inflicting on American climate science will reverberate for decades; but states, cities, and universities demonstrate that American climate progress is resilient. My column for @elpais.com : english.elpais.com/climate/2026...

ICE out of Maine.

You have many good takes, Jamelle. This might be your best.

More idiocy from Trump yesterday. Further explained by my colleagues below ⬇️

Last night, the Trump administration withdrew the United States from the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)—the foundational 1992 treaty that established the entire framework for international climate cooperation.

This is unprecedented and dangerous.
