Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules.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

in another entirely illegal move, the nihilistic totalitarianism of the Georgian Dream continues its rampage, here against #Georgia's most successful research university.

Yes, it is a regime, and yes, this is illegal and totally illegitimate.

Attorney General Pam Bondi has the power to hold the men in the Epstein files accountable. 

But she’s doing the opposite. She’s protecting them.

The Armenian Genocide is a historical fact. Vice President Vance can delete his post, but he can't erase history. His decision to ignore the facts is beyond disrespectful to the Armenian community and the millions killed in the Armenian Genocide.

Why did the American audience apparently hear different audio of JD Vance's appearance at the Olympics than the audio heard by the rest of the world?

NBC denies muting. But it's part of overall disturbing developments in the US corporate media world.
