This story took me two weeks to report, I hope you share it.

Environmental justice should not be a footnote in this historical moment.
Scoop: The Trump admin has quietly issued stop work orders on projects funded under contracts with the Energy Department that reference community benefit plans, an attempt to target a crucial part of Biden’s environmental justice legacy

Flash sale on Amtrak Rail Passes. They're $299 for 10 segments within a 30-day period. That's pretty cheap for a coach seat. I mention this because I *love* writing on the train!
