"The E.P.A. intends to argue that imposing climate regulations on automakers poses the real harm to human health because it would lead to higher prices and reduced consumer choice"

I am without words

[NewsWire @NewsWire_US]

FEMA staff stunned as agency head says he didn’t know U.S. has a hurricane season, sources say — Reuters

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

NPR receives $2-3M/year in federal funding.

PBS receives $80-85M.

The military-themed birthday parade Trump is throwing himself will cost taxpayers $92M.

We’re told cutting news and kids programming to fund an authoritarian birthday bash somehow “makes America great again”

AP: Nearly 40% of contracts canceled by DOGE are expected to produce no savings https://t.co/MIGwlOAZaj

[Ian Sams @IanSams]

At least 11 federal agencies targeted by the Trump-Musk firings and cuts “have more than 32 continuing investigations, pending complaints or enforcement actions into Mr. Musk’s six companies”

per @nytimes

[Los Angeles Times @latimes]

The water unexpectedly released from dams on Trump’s order didn’t help farms or L.A.

The Trump administration abruptly sent water flowing from two California dams. The action could leave less water in dams for the summer, when farmers typically use it. https://t.co/SJjqmZxRFA

It’s still unclear just how many Angelenos have been displaced by the Eaton + Palisades Fires. But there are a few things we do know: folks are entering a brutal LA rental market, right as reports of skyrocketing rents go viral. My latest for @kcrw.

Bizarre to make the LA fires a partisan issue, instead of a system one. Both parties have hallowed out the capacity to mitigate the worst effects of climate change, to humanity's peril. Unless we take drastic measures to reprioritize life over profit, this will be the new normal

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

Reminder: a Green New Deal is less expensive than the fall out of the climate crisis.

[Peg Aloi @themediawitch]

The reason there is "no water" available in fire hydrants in LA is because the water lines have been broken or burned by the fire, so there is no water pressure, in addition to low water pressure due to 8 months of drought. Resist politicized accusations and conspiracy theories.

@kettleengler @micsolana Hi Andrew -- I'm a news producer at KCRW in LA. I was wondering if you might give us permission to use this photo of the Palisades mall on fire? We would give you credit.

[Adam Parkhomenko @AdamParkhomenko]

Pretty crazy someone can be charged federally with interfering in an election and those charges get dropped because they win an election.

[Tulika Bose @TulikaBose_]

Most of these men have *never worked in a newsroom.*

Media literacy is so fraught rn. People need to be able to tell the difference between journalism and content

[alex @alexleigh87]

Maybe Boomers and Gen Xers shouldn't have made this country worse in literally every way before pulling up the ladder behind them if they wanted grandkids. Y'all created this problem, not us 🤷‍♀️

....coming from the paper whose literal tagline is 'Democracy dies in the darkness.' The absolute hypocrisy.
