Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Yet another way Trump is hurting our standing in the world, in addition to costing us billions in tourism dollars by shutting out visitors, is by crushing the power of the American passport and making it harder for his own citizens to travel. My latest: www.cntraveler.com/story/the-am...
The American Passport Is Losing Its Power
As the Trump Administration makes it more difficult for people to visit the US, other nations are starting to respond in kind.

Angus: It’s like having to negotiate with Al Capone in his syphilitic period. You want to shut down the bridge? Go ahead. Every day, 1,500 nurses from Canada go to help keep Detroit’s health care system going. I personally think those nurses should be working in Canada.

Khanna: There were two rounds of redactions. There was the original FBI redactions… and they did a second round of redactions at the DOJ. What they’re showing members now is the unredacted version of the DOJ’s redactions—not the original FBI redactions. They’re in blatant violation of the law.

SCOOP: The Department of Health and Human Services has been using the term “sex-rejecting procedures” to describe gender-affirming care for transgender and nonbinary individuals.
The term is not clinical or medical. It comes from a Christian Right group.

It appears @davidcorn.bsky.social was right. NBC did censor Green Day. They're likely terrified of Brendan Carr, who's apparently "investigating" The View for not bringing on enough weird, boring MAGAs to anesthetize their audience. www.themirror.com/entertainmen...

REMEMBER: Trump was indicted in Georgia on 13 felony counts for election meddling.
Last week, FBI agents returned to the scene of the crime and took all the ballots.
Is Trump probing “foreign interference,” as he claims… or finishing a criminal scheme he began 5 years ago?
