Slingshot News: After signing his "one big beautiful bill," Trump went off on a tirade demeaning renewable energy sources like wind: "I have never seen a wind farm in China."

Florida's Republican governor DeSantis on why he voted against FEMA and climate resilient infrastructure funding:
“When they start talking about things like global warming, they typically use that as a pretext to do a bunch of left-wing things. We’re not doing any left-wing stuff.”

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

Trump’s firing of the Librarian of Congress isn’t just overreach—it’s part of a broader campaign to rewrite the American story. When control of history shifts from public stewardship to political loyalty, democracy itself is on the line.
