The Trump regime is working on eliminating NOAA Fisheries, either eliminating its mission responsibilities or moving them to Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service.
Short version: we will drive whales and other endangered species to extinction and our fisheries will collapse.

Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted for her role in luring teenage girls to be sexually abused by Epstein.
She was moved to a minimum-security prison camp in Texas after she was interviewed in July by Trump's former defense attorney & handpicked deputy attorney general, Todd Blanche.

For two months, the U.S. government has been racial profiling as masked federal agents hunted for immigrants throughout Chicago. They’ve repeatedly snatched up U.S. citizens while traumatizing communities. “I felt like a piece of trash.” Here is our story www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/15/l...

Agree 100%
Absolutely correct. So much of the discourse around restoring trust in the institutions is focused on decorum and civility theater. But why would anyone trust the institutions if, after the horror show that we are suffering through, they yet again fail to impose some measure of real accountability?
Something the US needs to accept too is that without a large-scale correction imposing consequences on a large number of people, the crisis of governance here will continue indefinitely

With current pledges, the world's on track for 2.6°C of warming in 2100 compared to preindustrial levels.
10 years ago, before the Paris agreement, it was 3.6°C
20+ years ago, we thought it would be 4-5°C
So 2.6°C is better, but the problem is that climate impacts are way worse than we predicted.
