E.P.A. Is Said to Draft a Plan to End Its Ability to Fight Climate Change
The Trump EPA is planning to eliminate ALL federal climate rules by reversing the scientific finding that climate pollution harms people. By their calculation, our powerplants & cars emit too small a share of global emissions to warrant doing anything. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/22/c...

The EPA has proposed to eliminate climate rules for coal-fired power.
Its rationale? American power plants don't contribute significantly enough to climate change to warrant regulation.
Expect a torrent of comments arguing that this can't withstand scientific, economic & legal scrutiny.

Only saying where people threw rocks, set cars alight etc, it's appropriate for local law enforcement to handle. No need for Guard let alone Marines. For 1st Amendment. For peaceful protest. For restraint. Against violence.

It's terrifying to think that because ICE officials are not identifying themselves or following normal law enforcement protocol, now anyone can impersonate them and do horrifying things: just dress up in camo, put on a mask, jump out of a van and take people away. How does this make us safer?

3 points on the administration's punishment of Harvard: 1. Groundbreaking research benefits all Americans, makes us stronger 2. No government of either party should try to micromanage our private universities or businesses.
3. The extreme measures aren't reasonable, fair law enforcement.

Documents Show E.P.A. Wants to Erase Greenhouse Gas Limits on Power Plants
Climate News: EPA's plans to rescind all GHG limits for power plants based on an eyebrow-raising argument that they aren't significant as a share of global emissions. If true it's headed for legal trouble. Even conservative lawyers w deep EPA experience are dubious: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/24/c...

To all my foreign students & the world: I'm sorry this administration is taking its rage out on you. In the most nakedly vengeful move yet to punish a private university that it cannot bring to heel, Trump's DHS has barred Harvard from enrolling foreign students. Shameful, petty & un-American.

Congress just voted to block California from setting its own vehicle pollution standards - a major setback for public health & cutting climate-warming gases. Sad. It's part of the great unraveling of environmental progress that this administration & this Congress has set in motion with a vengeance.

Trump moves to quickly slash federal regulations, target state and corporate climate efforts
President Trump ordered 400 federal agencies to scour for regulations to repeal, and to do so without public notice or comment.
Sharing interview I did on public radio on the Trump admin's public health, climate & environmental rollbacks and its general lawlessness. If you have time & interest, give it a listen. Sober but not entirely bleak!

This is the actual Supreme Court order directing the administration to "facilitate" the return of Abrego Garcia. Whatever facilitate
might fairly mean, the intent is clear. Stephen Miller's characterization - that it vindicates the administration & so Garcia can be left to rot - was
heinous.
