Trump was at his West Palm Beach golf course when the National Guard shooting took place.

Trump has already spent $70 million of taxpayer money on golfing in less than a year as president.

If this pace keeps up, he will spend $300 million playing golf by the time his second term ends.

The Trump admin is pushing to create large "compounds" to house Palestinians in the Israeli-occupied portions of Gaza. Israeli officials have said they should not be allowed to leave, raising fears of "concentration camps within a mass concentration camp."

Amazing the world’s 5th largest economy (California) increased its GDP (81% up) and cut its GHG emissions (21% cut) since 2000, BUT not a single major news outlet covered the story? Obviously the fossil fuel industry and its sycophants don’t want the world to know.

Was there any coverage of the recent record warmth in both the Arctic and Antarctic? Multiple global datasets now confirm these records, and I think it's really quite striking.

Here's some very quick plots showing NOAAGlobalTempv6 data from October too. And see my earlier posts.
