Inside the climate group working everywhere but DC: ‘You can still have huge wins’ Climate Cabinet supports candidates in state and city races as the federal government ignores the climate crisis

I think it's great that folks are shifting the climate policy focus on city and states — where it belongs. Good stuff!

YouTube video by Heather Cox Richardson We’ve Never Been in a Moment Like This

Heather Cox Richardson: “it's important to remember that the larger picture is one in which this adminstration is under enormous stress and the momentum is on the side of those people pushing back against it” (1:56)

He’s gesturing to a sleeping man as he says “He’s the only leader in the world who can help end [the war in Ukraine].”

The White House says their peace plan didn’t come from Russia — the problem is it reads like Putin’s wishlist. We need a deal to end the war that actually protects Ukraine and doesn’t reward the war criminal who started this.

Ty! @chaserbaybe.bsky.social

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

So after over 8K complains of sexual assault in the military in 2024 alone, Unqualified Pete Hegseth declares his answer: “No more anonymous complains... no more walking on eggshells.”

Just like Trump, instead of addressing the problem, he is silencing the victims.

There is no bottom. The most catastrophically unqualified cabinet of all time. It’s all a vanity project.

“The most powerful country in the world” decided to give away leadership, values, prestige, influence for entertainment.

Trump: “We want war because we want no wars.”

He sounds like a moron — and worse, the “peace” candidate has dragged us into new wars and turned the Pentagon into his personal Department of War. Dumb and dangerous.

Pritzker: Trump looked at the cameras and asked for me personally to say, Mr. President, can you do us the honor of protecting our city? Instead, I say, Mr. President, do not come to Chicago.

Your remarks about this effort have betrayed a continuing slip in your mental faculties

Why a NASA satellite that scientists and farmers rely on may be destroyed on purpose The Trump administration has asked NASA staffers to draw up plans to end at least two satellite missions that measure carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, according to current and former NASA employees.

The Trump administration wants to destroy two satellites that collect data on CO₂ and methane in the atmosphere, apparently because they're afraid of the numbers reported... and they're discovering that farmers are upset because they use this data to help maintain their crops.

Opinion | Revenge, Thy Name Is Emil Bove

If the Senate confirms the wildly unqualified Emil Bove, it will be responsible for the even Trumpier and more lawless Supreme Court for which the US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit is potentially but a Bovean stepping stone. He is an antijudge extraordinaire

Trump Seems to Be Warming to What Europe Wants for Ukraine: New Russia Sanctions

Note how this entire "analysis" turns on idle chitchat while failing to report the essential facts, including that Trump started the week repealing major sanctions against Russia. As Süddeutsche Zeitung says, anyone who rests their analysis on what Trump says rather than what he does is a nitwit.

It’s disturbing that Justice Jackson was left to dissent alone from this legally reckless, constitutionally wrongheaded, and procedurally indefensible use of the Court’s emergency powers. History will vindicate her courageous if lonely stand against this outrage.

From Lollapalooza to Detention Camps: Meet the Tent Company Making a Fortune Off Trump’s Deportation Plans The privately held company Deployed Resources has made billions running tent detention facilities to hold immigrants entering the U.S. at the border. Now it is cashing in again on Trump’s plan to…

Over the past two decades, this little-known tent company went from helping to support music festivals like Lollapalooza to building camps for a completely different use: detaining immigrants at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Now it's hoping to cash in on Trump’s deportation plans.

“It is a dark time in the history of public health when political appointees overrule expert recommendations, pick and choose data to support their ideology, and use their position to advance personal agendas,” said Dr. Daniel Griffin, an infectious disease expert at Columbia University.
