The US doesn’t deserve science.
The repeal of the EPA’s landmark determination, which said that global warming caused by greenhouse gases endangers the health and welfare of current and future generations, will upend most U.S. policies aimed at curbing climate change.
EPA reverses longstanding climate change finding, stripping its own ability to regulate emissions
The agency announced Thursday that it is repealing its own conclusion that greenhouse gases warm the Earth and endanger human health and wellbeing.

As ICE expands, an AP review of crimes committed by agents shows how their powers can be abused

I've always loved both Lucky Luke and Astérix. With the original authors now gone, I find Lucky Luke's approach of getting a new creator and letting him loose much more interesting than Astérix's, which is to mimic the original look and feel as much as possible. Bonhomme is doing a phenomenal job.
i never really cared for lucky luke before but ever since Matthieu Bonhomme took over as the artist, i got REALLY into it, it's such a gorgeous comic

So glad to see George Cottrell being named in parliament yesterday. He was Farage’s head of fundraising when he convicted of an offence related to money laundering & is still close to & funding Farage. Crypto is an urgent democratic threat to the UK
I am deeply suspicious of parties which court cryptocurrency donations, given the potential for money laundering, by organised criminal gangs and malign foreign governments.
Yesterday in Parliament, I rang the alarm bell at Farage's continuing closeness to wire fraud convict George Cottrell.
