By attempting to abdicate any legal responsibility to provide for a healthy environment, the U.S. is running in the opposite direction as the global legal community, @zoeschlanger.bsky.social reports:

On climate, the U.S. and the rest of the planet are now in “completely separate worlds.”

For some of Trump’s hires, the antisemitism may be the point.
The antisemitism Donald Trump is enabling in his second term is not an anomaly. It is a function of his longing for dominance.

The attempted mugging of a visiting president was about the world war that Musk, Trump, and Vance have chosen. If we attend to what Vance and Trump said yesterday, we can work our way to the unreason of American policy, and to the chaos that will follow.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Good debunk of a notorious fossil fuel lie.
In reality, as low-cost wind and solar enter the dispatch queue, high-cost fossil fuel plants in the stack go off-line, saving consumers money. The more they are off-line, the more the savings.

No, renewables don't need expensive backup power on today's grids
The actual story is the opposite: renewable energy pushes the most expensive fossil fuel plants out of business, lowering costs for consumers

Enforcement at the Federal level has already been kneecapped due to Sackett. Now it's happening at the state level in Kentucky:
Kentucky bill would give coal, other industries the right to pollute our water | Opinion

I know so many atheists who are so much more Christlike than any MAGA member.
Because atheism does't require rejecting the actual teachings of Jesus. MAGA does.
