Detoxing after 5 years working on the film Outfoxed & blogging at NewsHounds.us. Now? Trying to save the world. Oh, and Thai food, dogs! and gardening.

Four auto manufacturers decided to reject Donald Trump’s rollback of fuel economy standards. Now Trump's using the Justice Department to attack those companies for embarrassing him.

That’s disgraceful. https://t.co/wzXSBQBUd0

.@realDonaldTrump's #SharpieGate is nothing compared to the original.

Let's give #BibiNetanyahu the credit he deserves for making Sharpies an international media sensation.

Important new study from the folks @CarbonBubble: the oil majors are all betting huge sums on projects that will guarantee we can't meet Paris targets. This is the working definition of insane greed.

Interesting confirmation of what a source told me last month when working on Pompeo profile: the SecState and national security adviser ‘are not on speaking terms’.

@pointer what are you thinking??

[Jay Rosen @jayrosen_nyu]

Here's @Poynter, a school for journalists and a professional development center for people who do the work, stating flat out that the job of a news program is to win the ratings war. If you have won that war, it's proof that you are doing your job as a journalist. Via @dangillmor

Horrifying report: Trump isn’t just soliciting Ukraine’s help with 2020 presidential campaign. He’s using U.S. military aid that Ukraine desperately needs to force Ukraine to launch an investigation of Joe Biden. #ImpeachTrump

Poor animals.

[Russ at AltGov2.org [FOIA / anti-secrecy] @thememoryhole2]

Thanks to Trump's business-friendly war against regulations, animal-abusing breeders, zoos, and labs now have free reign.

Animal-welfare citations have plunged by two-thirds under Trump.

Enforcement actions have plummeted by 92%.

It is our goal to place all our animals into large acreage habitats where they can experience life with plenty of space, diets of exceptional quality, expert veterinary care and freedom from performing, traveling or doing things Nature did not intend. #TheWildAnimalSanctuary

Your #LaborDay reminder that American workers are still fighting for $15 an hour while the top CEOs are raking in $15 a second.

College is awesome and my classmates are so nice — including the ones that don’t agree completely with me.

I look forward to a future of peace and tolerance where leaders lead with love and tolerance for the betterment of humanity.

A Trump adviser, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said weeks ago that the president, whose own approval ratings have stayed upside down, needs voters to feel negatively not just about his opponents but about longstanding institutions >
