A scoop that I’m not happy to report:

CBS News has gutted its climate change reporting team, one of the best in the business, and one of the only ones on cable news that consistently called out fossil fuels as the main source of climate pollution.

We can make a complaint against Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House, for impeding government process, failing to swear in a duly elected member, failing to release #EpsteinFiles, failing to facilitate negotiations, closing the House.
Failure to do his JOB.

WIC’s application limitations could be especially harmful for Black women living in food deserts like the Mississippi Delta, Cassandra Welchlin said.

She worries about children going hungry because they have difficulties learning and paying attention in school if they do not have access to food.

Many people still believe burning wood for home heating is 'green'.

It's totally not.
Burning wood for heat emits more CO₂ than coal
1/3 of all future renewable heating growth is set to come from bioenergy
And much of it is not green or renewable but worse than coal
