Texas and Oklahoma stink.
Attendee Jesus Ramirez was especially struck by the number of gas wells near Rio Vista and hoped to begin monitoring air quality himself. “I’m very interested in acquiring a monitor for PM2.5,” he explained, referring to fine particulate matter that can pose serious health risks.

Trump attempted a coup following his 2020 campaign loss. Anyone who thinks his comments about “cancelling” elections are a joke is either a liar or not paying attention.

The better question is: did Trump kidnap Maduro to learn his tricks of the trade?

Advocates for a new Interstate Bridge between Oregon and Washington won a victory Friday, with a ruling from the U.S. Coast Guard that will allow smoother I-5 traffic and reduce the ballooning cost of the bridge replacement by as much as $1 billion.

Coast Guard OKs less costly Oregon-to-Washington Interstate 5 bridge proposal
The decision means work could start as soon as this year, and the bridge will cost less than if the Guard had required more clearance for ships.

HUGE: After we fought back, Trump is delaying his cruel plans to seize the wages & tax refunds of folks behind on their student loans.

This would've been devastating for borrowers & our economy—& it should never happen.

Congress must pass our bill to end garnishment permanently.
Education Sec. Linda McMahon told reporters that wage garnishment for defaulted student-loan borrowers has "been put on pause for a bit."
