E.P.A. Weakens Limits on Mercury From Coal Plants The move appeared to undercut the Make America Healthy Again movement led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a onetime campaigner against mercury pollution.

Breaking News: The EPA is allowing coal-burning power plants to release more heavy metals like mercury, a powerful neurotoxin linked to brain damage.

if trump wants to raise tariffs, why doesn't he just go through the republican-controlled congress?

This is the key point - it's not about Moderna's flu vaccine, it's about sending a signal to the rest of the industry that vaccine development isn't viable in the US. It's all part of the larger anti-vaccine agenda.

No. They sane washed him constantly. Pretty much all outlets. NY Times, NPR etc.

“the president got mad at a television commercial so now your maple syrup is more expensive” is no way to run a country

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

Dear journalists:

The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her.

Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.

Hopefully there will be more bans.

Sinkholes are not produced by digging. They just happen.

The only reason Republicans have a reputation as "fiscal hawks" is that the press refuses to tell the public basic facts about what they do when they are in office.

I have also seen these.

"We need the whole country to appreciate that by investing in university research and educating the next generation of explorers and innovators, the country has reaped, and will continue to reap, tremendous rewards in new cures, treatments, and inventions, and in new industries, companies, and jobs"

Dear science journalism,

Please start including the funding source and whether it has been imperiled by the coup in your coverage of cool new science papers. The public should know the floor is being cut out from under us.

What about the graphic novel version?

I don't want Canada or Greenland. I want PBS, Social Security, and The Smithsonian.

Mostly, I want democracy.

Q: "Amazon will soon display...how much the Trump tariffs are adding to the cost of each product. Isn't that a perfect, crystal clear demonstration that it's the American consumer....who is going to pay for these?"

Leavitt: "This is a hostile and political act by Amazon."

Not just wildlife, all biology. Deep sea communities, food webs, effects of pollution etc..

Want to vote but lack a ride? No, you don't!

Most of the local DECs are working to accommodate voters who need a lift, but if your Democrat HQ is unavailable, we have also confirmed that RideShare2Vote is active in District 6 to help everyone perform their Constitutional Right to vote!

uld er, ve ig aboulk, like a sack of ponild occasiong able perhaps to take a child te a Trish McBride, Crofton Downs Cheap insults I feel very sad that our current Government seems so determined to brand themselves as "anti-woke". Like its forerunner insults, "political correctness" and virtue signalling" - it basically means being a decent person. You know: calling people by the names they want to be called by, giving hungry kids a feed, caring for the destitute and the ill, letting those with talent from all parts of the country rise into jobs they are skilled at. It's disturbing that they're escalating their vice signalling right now - when the United States is using the same rage to dismantle their economy, their alliances, and their social contract with each other. The thing about being a decent person is: it's quiet. It takes self-control to not make cheap insults about someone who disagrees with you. It takes thinking ahead, and humility, and paying attention to your instincts vs your intellect. It takes - sometimes - helping out someone who's making choices you disagree with. And it also pays off ten-fold in better relationships with people, with thriving families, with strong communities - and strong economies. I don't like Chris Luxon's vision of the country as a dog-eats-dog world. We're Kiwis. We can do better. Stephanie Pegg, Wilton

2025: Keep democracy alive. FrameLab New Year's resolutions Advice for defeating the authoritarian threat

Tips to keep democracy alive in 2025:

1. Be Brave. Avoid helpless/hopeless talk. Authoritarians want you to feel powerless because it makes their work easier. Courage, faith, and optimism are essential. Fascism feeds on cynicism and pessimism. Starve it.

I live in an area where there are huge numbers of feral cats.

Trump’s tax agenda outlined by the White House today will add at least $5 trillion to the debt, potentially much more. Per new analysis by nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. www.crfb.org/blogs/trump-...

No one elected Elon Musk.

As Donald Trump allows Musk to access people’s personal information and shut down government funding, Republicans in Washington will also own the consequences.

We must do everything in our power to push back and protect people from harm.

Neat! I think I have found this too.

Wow. This proved to be very accurate and forward looking.
