‘It’s sick’: Trump administration uses mascot called ‘Coalie’ to push dirtiest fossil fuel
‘It’s sick’: Trump administration uses mascot called ‘Coalie’ to push dirtiest fossil fuel
Cartoon lump of coal with giant eyes was spotlighted by US interior secretary in X post saying: ‘Mine, Baby, Mine!’
Donald Trump’s administration has turned to an unusual weapon in its attempt to resurrect coal mining – a cartoon lump of coal, complete with giant eyes and yellow mining garb, called ‘Coalie.’
The administration’s new mascot, kitted out with a helmet, boots and gloves, was introduced in a seemingly artificial intelligence-generated picture posted online by Doug Burgum, Trump’s interior secretary. “Mine, Baby, Mine!” Burgum wrote on X, adding that Coalie will act as a “spokesperson” for Trump’s “American Energy Dominance Agenda.” Continue reading...

Yes!
Tonight is Tu B’Shvat, the “birthday of the trees” for Jews.
It is one of the holidays most tied to the natural cycle of the seasons rather than to the events of Jewish history (e.g. Hannukah, Tisha B’Av, Passover).
Specifically, it is tied to the natural cycle of Palestine/the Land of Israel.

Is this surprising?
I testified Friday on the history of CBP and ICE's corruption and training problems. It's so much worse than you think.
The population of CBP officers/agents arrested THEMSELVES since 2005 would be America's 4th largest police dept—larger than the Philly PD. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/accountabi...

Accountability for ICE and CBP
However bad you think the corruption and misconduct at ICE and CBP is — the reality is far far worse.

ICE Expanding Trump’s Concentration Camp Empire
BIG news from @bloomberg.com, which confirms that ICE has gone ahead and *purchased* multiple commercial warehouses with the aim of converting them into mass detention camps.
This is likely to be the big detention story of 2026 — literal warehousing of people.

Democrats must be pushed in the 2028 primary to explain how they're going to undue Trump personally selling sensitive AI tech to Abu Dhabi that will likely make its way to China
This is corruption on a breathtaking level. Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, an Abu Dhabi royal nicknamed the "spy sheikh", pumped $187mn into Trump family businesses. A WSJ team has the whole story, reported here for the first time. Remember: Jimmy Carter had to sell his peanut farm.
‘Spy Sheikh’ Bought Secret Stake in Trump Company
$500 million investment for 49% of World Liberty came months before U.A.E. won access to tightly guarded American AI chips.
