The EPA is wiping mention of human-caused climate change from its website Some pages have been tweaked to emphasize ‘natural forces’; others have been deleted entirely.

During his campaign, Trump promised oil executives that he'd dismantle climate change policies in exchange for $1B in campaign financing. Now EPA is canceling lifesaving pollution limits and scrubbing mentions of human-caused climate change from its website: www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

The crackdown on free speech from the Trump administration is not just “cancel culture”—it’s censorship.

@captmarkkelly.bsky.social explains his reminder to American troops: "We know who Donald Trump is. We've known that for a long time."

On Deadline D.C. with @bradbannon.bsky.social, CAP's @nzmurphy.bsky.social explains the urgent need to extend the ACA's enhanced tax credits: "We right now are staring down the cliff of pretty much a premium affordability crisis."

A graphic with a dark green and black background and a digital illustration of a city experiencing heavy rain and flooding, with a car driving through the wet street. Large white text at the top reads: "Climate change is making floods more frequent and costly for Americans." The graphic lists three statistics with yellow highlights: 2014–2024: Damage from flooding in the U.S. has averaged $46B per year (in 2023 dollars). 2025: As of mid-November, weather forecasting offices nationwide have issued over 5,000 flash flood warnings in a single year. Costly outlooks: The total annual economic burden of flooding in the U.S. totals between $179.8B and $496B. The source is cited at the bottom.

For the first time ever, over 5,000 flash flood warnings have been issued in a single year—and more could be on the horizon thanks to storms supercharged by climate change. Learn more: https://www.americanprogress.org/article/how-climate-change-is-fueling-more-deadly-and-destructive-floods/

A black and white photograph of Archie Mouse of the Cherokee Nation, standing next to a horse with a partially visible American flag in the background. Yellow highlighted text is overlaid on the image, reading: "November is Native American Heritage Month. Yet the Trump administration is erasing the multicultural and multiracial stories of the people who built and shaped this country—stories that are meant to be permanently enshrined by national public lands and waters." A footnote below notes Archie Mouse is pictured before a journey reenacting the Trail of Tears.

A photograph of an interpretive exhibit titled "Saving Muir Woods," featuring historical text and black and white photos of men in suits. Yellow highlighted text is overlaid on the image, reading: "Through a series of executive orders, the Trump administration is trying to rewrite the stories told by public lands and waters." A footnote explains the removal of the "Save Muir Woods" exhibit to tell a more comprehensive history of the Coast Miwok and Southern Pomo peoples. A link to AmericanProgress.org is included.

All Americans deserve to have their stories told by our public lands and waters, even when this accurate telling means grappling with difficult history.

When Trump was asked about the release of the Epstein files, he called one reporter "piggy" and said another was "being insubordinate."

When Trump saw a video calling on the military to follow the constitution, he called for the death of the Democrats who made the video.

He's a tyrant.
