Air Pollution From Industrial Facilities Is Far Worse Than Estimated The Trump administration has put a stop to EPA rules that would have required more than 130 industrial facilities to install air monitors to measure pollution. Millions of people living near these pla...

About 90,000 people living near larger chemical plants face an unacceptable risk of developing cancer, the EPA says.

New rules adopted last year could’ve cut that number to 3,000 residents — a drop of 97%.

But Trump has halted those efforts.

An Ethiopian Shield Volcano Has Just Erupted, For The First Time In Thousands Of Years The ash cloud already covers large areas of surrounding countries.

For decades, AIPAC focused entirely on lobbying members of Congress and did not directly support individual candidates. That changed in 2021, when AIPAC launched several Political Action Committees expressly designed to help pro-Israel candidates win their races.

Is the Tide Starting to Turn Against AIPAC? Backing AIPAC may now be a political liability for candidates facing progressive challengers in Democratic primaries.

Gearing up for a potentially bruising primary as he challenges progressive stalwart Ed Markey for his Senate seat, Rep. Seth Moulton of Massachusetts apparently decided that turning his back on AIPAC and its allies was more politically advantageous than costly.

Hegseth is now threatening to recall Sen. Mark Kelly to active duty in order to court martial him.

Understand that the Halligan thing is 100% Pam Bondi's fuck-up. She could have appointed Halligan Special Attorney and this thing would still be alive.

So it's not just that HALLIGAN is an incompetent bigot.

It's that Bondi is too.

DOJ makes a new attempt to unseal Epstein grand jury records Though federal law typically requires grand jury material to remain secret, DOJ officials say the new law Trump signed ordering the files’ release supersedes those restrictions.

CNBC: My understanding is the White House said that China was gonna buy 12 million tons of soybeans from the US by January. That's approaching and they've only purchased 332,000. China has not confirmed that pledge.

BROOKE ROLLINS: Your point is salient. We've got a significant way to go

Another Trump promise with much hype and fanfare when it was announced as a "HUGE WIN" for farmers that didn't happen. Incidentally, we made concessions to the Chinese for this "deal." bsky.app/profile/atru...

Rick Pitino: "I'm a wealthy man today at 73 because of my players. I entered the Hall of Fame because my players put me there. So I'm excited that they can get some wealth. And I would say probably 50, 60% of my players give most of their money to their families."

The Mark Singer profile on mid-90s Trump, always worth a re-up. This particular piece is kinda what got me in this whole racket to begin with

We’re about to invade Venezuela because trump wants their oil. No other reason. The airspace has been cleared. Embassies are being evacuated. Flights are being canceled.

He’s going to kill people for oil.

a man in a suit and tie stands at a podium that says trump will fix it Alt: Trump pretending to give a handjob and a blowjob to a microphone.

Election security is largely missing for the midterm elections. Just the way Trump wants it. 🤬
