Trump knew his war with Iran would raise gas prices.

Now he wants to illegally resurrect a pipeline shut down by courts and facing criminal charges. And it won't even cut prices.

I refuse to let Trump sacrifice Californians, our environment, or our $51 billion coastal economy.

What the U.S. Government Is Dismissing That Could Seed a Bird Flu Pandemic Egg producers suspect bird flu is traveling through the air. After a disastrous Midwestern outbreak early this year, we tested that theory and found that where the wind blew, the virus followed. Vacci...

To combat bird flu spread, other countries have authorized poultry vaccines.

The U.S. hasn’t, amid political and economic pushback.

Without a vaccine, experts say the virus poses an escalating threat: β€œThe minute it transmits to humans, it’s done.”

Tell Congress: Impeach Attorney General Pam Bondi Contact Congress today!

🚨 Pam Bondi is shielding predators, covering up Epstein files, and weaponizing the DOJ for Trump.

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

Macroeconomic policy, or soap opera?

Court rules Trump's case against Fed Chair Powell is dead. Tillis says he won't confirm Trump's pick if White House appeals. White House appeals. Current Fed Chair's term ends soon. What next? Tune in for the next season of Fed's Anatomy.

DHS Seeks Access to Massive Employment, Salary and Family Database Legally Restricted to Use in Child Support Cases The Trump administration’s immigration enforcers are requesting unfettered access to the government’s β€œmost powerful people-finder system,” which contains sensitive information on children and victims...

The Federal Parent Locator Service contains sensitive details about individual children, and it’s meant for finding people who owe child support.

Granting access to DHS would violate a federal law that explicitly limits its use, officials said.

Given that Trump lies most of the time, should he really be allowed to make public statement for the US?
Isn't it disastrous for the reputation of the US that US presidential statements are mendacious nearly all the time?
How can the US restore public truth?
Think about it!

Maybe DOGE Was Just Looking in the Wrong Places Perhaps it should have been looking more closely at President Trump’s Cabinet to find wasteful spending.

Perhaps DOGE would have been able to fulfill its promise to root out waste, fraud, and abuse if it looked more closely at Donald Trump’s cabinet, @dgraham.bsky.social argues in The Atlantic Daily:
