For the first time in nearly 30 years, the EPA under Trump failed to release the U.S.’s annual greenhouse gas emissions report.

So a nonprofit did it instead.

Facts don’t disappear just because the government refuses to print them.

Read their findings below ⬇️

The EPA didn't release its annual U.S. greenhouse gas emissions report, but we got the data. Here's what we found
The Environmental Defense Fund published the Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks after filing a Freedom of Information Act request last month.

Yikes 😬
The first runner has come through the Fire Tower in ~ 7:00 hours, over an hour slower than last year. #bm100

Long run day! 20 miles in the books.

I wasn't thrilled to have to run so close to this group, but they didn't seem to want to move...

It brings me so much joy to be able to continue to give back to Penn State THON 20 years post-graduation. Here are a few pics I took over the weekend.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

I wish the rest of the party had 1/10 the spine AOC has.
“MaYbe shE’s goiNg to be in TroUble nOw”

Maybe he can learn to read. The Constitution would be a good place to start
Tom Homan says he sent an email to the Deputy AG asking if AOC is crossing the line by providing webinars to undocumented immigrants: I’m not an attorney… maybe AOC is going to be in trouble now

You can just distill this down to "Schumer's strategy completely failed."
Schumer's strategy of allowing/encouraging Dems to vote for the "normal" nominees in order to try and peel off Republican defections to block Hegseth/RFK/Gabbard appears to have completely failed.
It appears there is little to no resistance from Senate Republicans to the nomination of RFK Jr. as HHS Secretary

Very proud to announce the Department of Health will now process all requests to change gender designation on birth certificates within three business days. Previously, there was as much as a 10 month wait.

On this sick day, I'm attempting to do less #doomscrolling and more fun reading.

I'll let you judge the success of that strategy, since I'm here posting 🙃

See, this is why I couldn't be in charge of the Grammys because I would've put "Drake's Career" in the In Memoriam section

Marathon training wouldn't take up as much of my time if I could just run faster 😂

Reminder: They're trying to demoralize you, and they're doing a great job of it. Part of resisting is making time for joy despite the attempts to make you feel this is not the time for it. Love your people. Dig the art that speaks to you. Go to the places where life flows into you. You deserve joy.

To whoever taught Trump the word "tariff":

I hope you, in particular, have a horrible day.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

This story beat of "find out how horrible a person is and then watch said person get confirmed into a position of power and influence with almost no pushback" is getting old. The series writers need to come up with some new ideas.

A new OMB memo lists programs *potentially* affected by Trump's (illegal) funding freeze. The list does nothing to dispel confusion, since it includes programs (SNAP, Head Start) that OMB now claims are unaffected. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...
