Almost forgot to post about it today, but I am once again asking the media to talk about the president admitting on 60 Minutes that he had no idea who the hell he was pardoning. I know there’s a lot going on, but this really should be the biggest story in America.

Our analysis of EPA air monitoring data shows that companies have far underestimated the pollution caused by their facilities.

At a U.S. Steel plant outside Pittsburgh, monitors found benzene levels 37 times higher than estimated emissions.

First Cuomo got Trump's endorsement, now he's got the endorsement of the richest man in the world.

It's clearer than ever that there's only one candidate for NYC Mayor who will actually stand up to the oligarchs: Zohran Mamdani.

Rural residents were upset when Oregon released a statewide map estimating property risk from wildfires.

Until then, the impacts of climate change were abstract to many people, one senator said. β€œThis is a very big chicken coming home to roost.”

I hope future generations recognize how quickly and strangely the contours of what counts as a political scandal changed for this president.

TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is

Big Oil spent nearly $450M backing Trump & Republican candidates last year.

Now, during one of the longest government shutdowns in history, Senate Republicans voted to gut a policy protecting millions of acres in Alaska from oil drilling.

Talk about a return on investment.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"
