Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules.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 is a 25 year old talking point from climate change deniers in the early 2000s and it always was one of the most embarrassing stupid claims
Burgum: "CO2 was never a pollutant. When we breathe, we emit CO2. Plants need CO2 to survive and grow. They thrive with more CO2. So the whole endangerment thing opens up an opportunity for the revival of clean, beautiful, American coal."

It's like the US has a spoilt 10 year old as president
Trump: "So I put on a 30% tariff, which is very low. I got an emergency call from I believe the prime minister of Switzerland. She was very aggressive ... I didn't really like the way she talked to us, so instead of giving her a reduction, I raised it to 39%."

It’s extremely important to put Elon Musk and Trump in the context of having killed hundreds of thousands of children in the last year
HORRIFYING -
Dismantling USAID & cancelling >80% of aid caused ~750,000 deaths by mid-2025

🧸Most were children

- Maternal & fetal deaths
- Malnutrition

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

"Black paid Epstein $158 million between 2012 and 2017 for advice related to tax, estate, and asset planning. That is a vast amount of money to pay for such services, especially for a Wall Street insider with easy access to top expertise."

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

Trump is sinking as his old attorney recorded everything to protect himself. I recommend this video. "Lie by omission." "Consciousness of obstruction."
