Documents Show E.P.A. Wants to Erase Greenhouse Gas Limits on Power Plants

The Environmental Protection Agency has drafted a plan to eliminate all limits on greenhouse gases from coal and gas-fired power plants in the U.S., according to internal agency documents reviewed by The New York Times.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

Exclusive | Trump stripping the security clearances of numerous antagonists — including NY AG Letitia James, DA Alvin Bragg President Trump has ordered security clearances stripped from a new hit list of antagonists.

I take my inclusion on Trump’s list as a backhanded compliment in response to our court successes against his administration this week. And I intend to return it in the best way I know how: by filing many more lawsuits against his and his cronies’ wrongdoing.

Announce a scheme to forcibly move 2 million Palestinians, while eviscerating federal intelligence/law enforcement and putting pliant stooges in charge of DNI and the FBI.

Every day, Putin must marvel at his luck.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

President Trump is turning loose people convicted of assaulting police officers. America is already less safe.

This could be published today with a slight alteration.

Trump is the one emptying prisons and releasing terrorists into America, not foreign countries.

Jack Smith resigns from DOJ The special counsel's departure was disclosed in a court filing submitted Saturday afternoon to U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon.

Jack Smith did the hard work of protecting the public interest and enforcing the law in the Trump era — without fear or favor. He deserves bounteous praise.

Hottest year ever recorded in 2024, increase breaches key threshold | CTV News Earth recorded its hottest year ever in 2024, with such a big jump that the planet temporarily passed a major climate threshold, several weather monitoring agencies announced Friday.

Earth records hottest year ever in 2024 and the jump was so big it breached a key threshold

Senator Murphy on Twitter: “We had a deal to avert a shutdown. Musk et al blew it up because it didn't help billionaires enough. They wrote a new bill to cut cancer treatment for kids and grease a new tax cut for the rich. That failed too - and now they're panicking because everyone is seeing the grift.”

You can’t always get what you want, particularly when you want, and get, Donald Trump. Unless you’re a nihilistic sociopath.

A filamentary orange veil covers a bright region of star formation. The background is dark, stippled with stars and galaxies ranging from small bright dots to starry shapes. The foreground veil spans from upper left to the bottom right and resembles a seahorse. Bright stars light up the ‘eye’ and ‘chest’ regions of the seahorse with purple light. Within the tail, three bright spots sit in a traffic-light like formation.

this is definitely one of the space pics of all time

RFK Jr. isn’t impressed.

These, collectively, have revolutionized health, reduced morbidity & mortality, increased life expectancy & quality of life for many countries globally. Developing nations need support too.

AND we need to STOP giving leeway to people & organizations who actively undermine scientific progress.
