After Trump officials tried to cut research programs and alter reports on climate change in his first term, agencies and unions have been building new guardrails to limit political interference in government research.

The convicted felon Donald Trump plans to declare a "national energy emergency," but there's no emergency. The US produces more oil and fossil gas than any other country. There is, however, a climate emergency.

Researchers sorted 12k tweets into 8 types of argument — 4 of climate denial, 4 of climate delay.

WOW! You've got to watch all of this.

A priest just confronted Trump's fascism to his face. She's so incredibly brave.
