Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules.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.

There is no manner in which ICE agents now present themselves, no language they will direct at citizens or immigrants, no abuse or brutality they undertake, and no slaying they will commit that can at this point shock or surprise me. These thugs are not law enforcement. They are S.A. brownshirts.

They are building this massive new data science and AI institute (that will house 100 faculty) next door to the department that studies climate change (which, checks notes, has 15ish faculty) in a building that is non-functional most days.
Which says just about every fucking thing about 2026.

Kristi Noem has had a disgraceful tenure marked by chaos, brutality, and rampant corruption.
She should resign or be fired immediately.
The question for the American people is, will this Republican-led Congress join Democrats in pushing for any accountability?

People keep telling me we just have to "accept" the harms of ChatGPT as the necessary price of progress, & that I'm a Luddite for not using it, but, well, I'm genuinely finding it hard to accept that so many kids simply "have to" die. IMHO it needs a product recall.

Pope Leo is, quite literally, doing God’s work.
For some conservative Catholics, who have been pushing the Latin mass ever since the church made it optional, Pope Leo’s authorisation of one was a vindication. Yet while they got their mass, they did not get their man
