The Trump administration has sold 1.6 million acres of the Alaskan Wildlife Refuge to oil & gas companies, jeopardizing a critical habitat for the Bearded Seal.

Crazy how the Republican Party is just openly pro-corruption now.

The view of the White House from the top of the Washington Monument is significantly different as construction continues for President Trump's proposed ballroom in the East Wing and the upcoming Freedom 250 UFC fight on the South Lawn scheduled for June 14.

Tennessee Republicans just approved a heavily gerrymandered map that will turn Tennessee completely red and eliminate the only Black-majority seat.

This comes just one week after the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act.

Donald Trump has fired the entire National Science Board, all 24 members, all at once.

The board was responsible for deciding which scientific projects America should pursue and helping to direct the nation's technological future.

If Obama threatened war crimes and praised Allah on Easter Sunday, we’d never hear the end of it.

We're paying to shut down renewable energy projects when Trump's war on Iran is showing us how costly it is to be totally reliant on fossil fuels.

We should be diversifying our energy to increase energy security and affordability, not paying companies to walk away from them.

New leaked Epstein documents show the FBI removed the hard drive from the prison's camera system and wiped all footage from the night Jeffrey Epstein was murdered..

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

BREAKING: Epstein survivor Dani Bensky moments ago about attending Trump's State of the Union address:

“How can anyone feel safe in this country when our President’s sympathies are going to the former Prince Andrew and not to survivors?”

She then went on to list 3 things that need to be done immediately!

1) Where are the rest of the files?
2) Why are there no investigations when there are plenty of people in these files to investigate?
3) Why is the FBI Director out there partying like a college kid when he should be investigating the vast criminal enterprise?

“Release the Damn Files!”

Atmospheric scientist here. Let me tell you what was actually "slashed" today.

Slashed: The Endangerment Finding — a 200-page scientific review upheld by the Supreme Court, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, and reaffirmed by the National Academies of Sciences in 2025.

Slashed: The legal authority to regulate carbon from cars, power plants, and factories. All of it. Gone in one afternoon.

Now here's what you're "saving":

Yesterday Trump ordered the Pentagon — the largest energy consumer on Earth — to buy coal electricity.

Coal costs $69–$169/MWh.
Wind costs $27–$53/MWh.
Solar costs $38–$78/MWh.

99% of U.S. coal plants cost more to run than replacing them with brand-new solar or wind.

That's your tax dollars buying the most expensive electricity on the market. By executive order. While the Peabody Energy CEO stood in the room.

And the human cost of what you're "saving"?

460,000 American deaths linked to coal pollution in 20 years. Coal PM2.5 is 2.1x deadlier than other air pollution. (Henneman et al., Science, 2023)

All to protect an industry that employs 44,000 people total. Clean energy employs 3.5 million.

Exciting news! We’re thrilled to announce that tapir Yuna gave birth to a rare and endangered Malayan tapir calf Sunday night. The newborn, covered in distinctive white spots and stripes resembling a fuzzy walking watermelon, is only the second tapir born in our 120-year history.

so grateful to have grown up in this era. learning about different cultures and how they’re all beautiful and make the world a better, more interesting place to live. instead of the divisiveness & nationalism they’re pushing these days

GALLEGO: Let's say Trump wins that lawsuit. Where would that $10 billion come from?

BESSENT: It would come from Treasury

GALLEGO: So, taxpayers?

BESSENT: Yes.

This is how the president of the United States treats a reporter asking him very serious questions about Epstein and survivors of sexual abuse, by verbally harassing her and telling her to smile more.
