Canceled wind project puts thousands of jobs at risk | CNN Business The future of thousands of jobs are in jeopardy after Ørsted, a Danish clean energy company with a large portfolio of offshore wind projects, received an order from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Manageme...

Trump just halted a nearly completed wind project that was set to power 350K homes at a stable rate for 20 years.

Over 1,000 jobs—gone.

Electric bills—up.

All to protect Big Oil.

This isn’t "national security." It’s political sabotage.

They'd rather destroy our future than build a better one.

They’ve got enough money to throw us into another war, but not enough money to fund the LGBTQ+ suicide prevention hotline.  Very “pro-life.”

As more fake citations emerge in the ‘MAHA’ report, White House struggles with a defense To describe references to nonexistent scientific research as “some formatting issues” is like saying the Titanic confronted “some evening issues.”

"To describe references to nonexistent scientific research, in an official federal document related to public health policy, as 'some formatting issues' is like saying the Titanic confronted 'some evening issues.'”

Child flu death rate soars as experts sound alarm over RFK Jr’s vaccine policy US child death flu rates reached a 15-year high with at least 216 deaths this season as experts warn that RFK Jr's vaccine policy could worsen the situation

This is what happens when you gut public health infrastructure and flood the country with vaccine misinformation. Flu shot rates in kids have plummeted, and pediatric deaths are at a 15-year high. This administration’s reckless disregard for science and public health has deadly consequences.

This headline was written this way because it’s not “new” news; it’s a look back. The writer of that headline is assuming that everyone knows that Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber, killed three people and injured 23 others, because it happened long ago and he was caught long ago. Hope that makes sense!

Just, like, OFTEN. I feel like that should be the rule for everyone, rather than “hmmm, maybe not.” When in doubt, just wash your dang hands.

"As Frodo prepared to follow him, he laid his hand upon the tree... never before had he been so keenly aware...of the life within it. He felt a delight in wood and the touch of it, neither as forester nor as carpenter; it was the delight of the living tree itself."

“That they should be the ones to welcome Pope Francis’s coffin in the basilica is because these people are those who represented the focus of his mission,” said Father Giulio Albanese, head of missionary cooperation and communications for the Vicariate of Rome. “They are those who live on the peripheries, geographical and existential peripheries.”

“That they should be the ones to welcome Pope Francis’s coffin in the basilica is because these people are those who represented the focus of his mission,” said Father Giulio Albanese, head of missionary cooperation and communications for the Vicariate of Rome. “They are those who live on the peripheries, geographical and existential peripheries.”

The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach.

Texas bill could punish bookstores for 'obscene' books A new bill in the Texas Legislature, authored by Rep. Nate Schatzline, would allow businesses to be held liable if a minor reports damages from "obscene" books.

It was never just about schools, it was never just about libraries, and it isn't actually about the books.

It's about finding a way to banish entire people, entire ideas, out of society, back into the closet or worse.
