WATCH: Trump, EPA's Zeldin announce end of scientific basis for U.S. action on climate change The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressiv...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, weโ€™ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate changeโ€”all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

I am a Ukrainian Nobel Peace Prize Laureate. I have a question.

Why has Trump's year of negotiations been the deadliest for civilians in Ukraine since the full-scale invasion? The number of deaths and injuries has increased by 31 percent compared to the previous year.

Putin finanziert seinen Krieg mit Erdรถl: hรถchste Zeit, Russlands Schattenflotte zu stoppen Das Erdรถlgeschรคft ist die Achillesferse des Regimes in Moskau. Umso unverstรคndlicher ist, dass die Europรคer nicht entschlossener dagegen vorgehen.

"Noch immer flossen nach offiziellen Angaben umgerechnet 85 Milliarden Franken in die Kasse des Kremls. Das ist mehr als die gesamte westliche Hilfe an die Ukraine โ€“ und der Hauptgrund, weshalb Putin das Geld nicht ausgeht."

An insane, perfect encapsulation of it all:

The same day Trumpโ€™s agents kill a Veterans Affairs ICU nurse in broad daylight, the CEOs of Apple and Amazon join Trump to watch a private screening of a film about his wife directed by an alleged sexual abuser who was seen shirtless in the Epstein Files

When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

All from his movies.
