CNN: "Another photograph - these are notes AG Bondi brought to the hearing today. This shows a list of Rep. Jayapal's search history. Lawmakers are allowed to go to a DOJ facility to search unredacted files. We learned from this photo that the searches are apparently being tracked & read by the DOJ"

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules.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

This lady in a bathrobe recording ICE kidnapping another of her neighbors in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Things haven't gotten better there; they've gotten worse. We need to give Minnesota our attention and support.

Rand Paul to ICE officials on Pretti's killing: "Because people within the government made conclusions immediately that he was a terrorist and an assassin, people aren't believing that it's gonna be an honest investigation ... there has to ultimately be repercussions ... it's inexcusable."

A Coal Tit, pausing for a moment on a lichen-covered branch in the Cairngorms last week.
Their black cap and white cheeks are a familiar sight in the Highland woods, but you'll also find them in woodlands elsewhere. #birds

This is such a great read and left me eager to follow the rest of Karen’s story. It has history, colonialism, family ties, personal choices, being torn between two places and more.
NEW: This was the last essay I was supposed to publish at the Washington Post. But they fired me.
I'm publishing it anyway-- about my family's connection to a sword the British looted from Ghana in 1874.
If youve ever wondered why I love swords, here's why.

The "Return" of the Golden Sword
My grandfather guarded it. The British stole it. I'm named after it—and I'm going to fight for it.

Coverage for the missing children should also be conducted and given this much attention.

No. I feel for the family but her kidnapping should not be given around the clock coverage. How many kids have been abducted since Guthrie went missing? Where’s the non-stop coverage for them.
