Trump Signs Memo Expanding His Authority to Spend Federal Money

The president gave Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wide authority to repurpose funds to pay members of the military without approval from Congress, which has the sole constitutional authority to decide federal spending.

Battery plants can create advanced manufacturing jobs, help the US compete economically with China, diversify global supply chains, improve grid resilience & provide domestic supplies for automakers.

So naturally the DOE is clawing back funding for them.

DOE cancels more than $700M in battery, manufacturing projects

The nixed grants appear to be the first the Department of Energy has confirmed from a list that outlines $20 billion in potential cuts.

nice article by @scottpwaldman.bsky.social about the DOE Climate Working Group and their associations with conservative groups that are working to overturn the Endangerment Finding. The claim that they're just "doing the science" is increasingly unsupportable.

DOE climate report colored by past views of its authors, critics say

A review by POLITICO's E&E News found that most of the authors have spoken out against the endangerment finding, once called the "holy grail" of climate

Of the 2,500 No Kings gatherings across America, few were more saturated in American history—in flags and historical costumes—than the one on the Battle Green in Lexington, where the Minutemen fought another king 250 years ago.

Donald Trump can't win the 2026 midterms fair and square - so he's trying to cheat by calling up his cronies in red states and asking for seats.

California: YOU have the power to stop him.

Vote YES on Prop 50 to defend fair elections and STOP Trump's election rigging.
