Impacts vary by event, underscoring the need for sustained ocean monitoring.

This is an open invitation for MAGA to commit crimes and be pardoned for them.

Trump Pledged to “Make America Healthy Again,” Then Cut a Program Many Tribes Rely on for Healthy Food The USDA has ended a program that dozens of tribal food banks say has helped them provide fresh, locally produced food that is important to their traditions and cultures.

The Trump admin is pushing its "Make America Healthy Again" agenda.

NEW: First, diplomats warned what will happen if we halt aid to the rest of world.

Now they are telling the Trump Administration what is actually happening: death, crime, sexual violence, trafficking.

We need to talk about Trump’s politicized and corrupt pardons, but we also need to talk about the guy he’s put in charge of vetting them, Ed Martin. My rundown of the latest pardons and Martin’s involvement in today’s piece, link in the replies.

Trump wants us to lose faith in the justice system by undermining it with pardons, even while denying others due process. But wrong is still wrong, and we must continue to fight him.

Ah yes, rugged individualism, American style.

Chuck Schumer surrendered but these Democratic fighters did not! Our freedoms depend on us!

Chuck Schumer and the Democrats who joined with the GOP are NOT the Democratic Party. They are what is WRONG with it. To me the party is defined by these fighters from grassroots activists to members of Congress. My new article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/chuck-schu...

Terminated grants

I recently discovered that HHS is bragging about them, posting them at taggs.hhs.gov/Content/Data...

Schumer is trying to justify his vote on Jake Tapper right now, saying if they had let the government shut down "they could fire half the workers in the federal government."

They messed up

A tinted portrait of Rachel Reeves, the UK Chancellor, is overlaid with bold white text reading: "Is Rachel Reeves about to defund nature?" Below, lime-green text warns that the UK Government might be cutting the farming budget, which would be disastrous for both farmers and nature.

Right now, the UK Government is considering cuts to the nature-friendly farming budget – the biggest pot of funding for nature.

Here’s why that would be a disaster for farmers, food security, and wildlife.

Deborah Rutter was fired this week after a decade as president of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

News you need to know… NOW

Donald Trump Built a National Debt So Big (Even Before the Pandemic) That It’ll Weigh Down the Economy for Years The “King of Debt” promised to reduce the national debt — then his tax cuts made it surge. Add in the pandemic, and he oversaw the third-biggest deficit increase of any president.

When Trump took office in 2017, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office was projecting federal budget deficits would be 2% to 3% of our gross domestic product during Trump’s term.

Instead, the deficit reached nearly 4% of gross domestic product in 2018 and 4.6% in 2019. propub.li/3Q1Harz
