The federal government has censored the work of dozens of scientists, including work by my lab, on the impacts of climate change on Acadia National Park. Signs have been removed from Cadillac and Great Meadow. They’re also removing signs about the Wabanaki’s sacred connections to Cadillac.

Welch: As someone who lives in a red state, let me just tell you what MAGA supermajorities get you. We're 50th in education. The worst in the whole country for women to live. We're poorer, worst health care. And if you look at the bottom ten states, they are all MAGA supermajorities.

Thank you to @hcrichardson.bsky.social for pointing out that we make money on our public lands every single year. Why would we sell them when they are a reliable form of income?

Articles I've written on these shocking acreage totals have so far been pretty rushed and lacked analysis and context. I tried to fix that here, while also breaking the news that the total acreage is now even larger. Have you subscribed to my Substack yet?

We can talk about DOGE’s failure to cut two trillion dollars in “waste” all day, but the real story is how much Elon Musk is enriching himself by remaining in the government.

The is no limit to how much brutality the Trump admin is willing to allow Russia to get away with. They have never once condemned a single atrocity committed by Putin. Trump played golf while this happened and didn’t say a word about it.

In a democracy, there are checks and balances so official misconduct is investigated and people are held accountable.
In a dictatorship, misconduct is standard operating procedure and is covered up.
It's obvious which course the Trump regime is taking in the Signal texting scandal.

Q: “How much did you take out of Elon’s money?”

@RepHarshbarger: “Elon Musk doesn’t get paid.”🤔

Musk just gave the game away in his interview with Joe Rogan.

He said that it's because of Social Security that "people are living longer than expected"—which coupled with a lower U.S. birth rate creates a situation he finds intolerable.

He _is_ a Yarvinist—and he's coming for our Social Security.
