We’ve made a graphic of just 180 lowlights of Trump's all-of-government attack on climate, giving a sense of how his minions woke each morning in 2025 asking fossil fuels just how high they needed to jump that day

50 ICE agents swarming a public library to arrest one person.
This isn’t policing — it’s authoritarian spectacle.
Armed intimidation, fear as policy, and taxpayer money burned to terrorize communities.
This is fascism in plain sight. #TrumpWatch #Resist

There's an audio recording of him, not an aide, asking for votes to swing a state in a Presidential election and that wasn't enough to get him locked up or even keep him from the White House
As people comb the Epstein files for some crime they can get Trump on I’m thinking about how he was found with boxes of stolen top secret files in his possession and somehow that ended up being impossible to prosecute.

As energy demand and prices both continue to rise, Trump has decided to pause ongoing and expensive offshore wind projects — including Empire Wind 1 in NY-10 — that would power 2.5M homes & businesses.
This decision is stupid, shortsighted, and puts China first and America last.

I hope folks realize that between Trump, Kushner, Hegseth, Witkoff, Noem, RFK, Jr., Kash Patel, and Tulsi Gabbard, this country is almost entirely undefended.
Q: Have you heard this audio that Bloomberg has of Witkoff coaching the Russians on how to appeal to you?
TRUMP: That's a standard thing. He's gotta sell this to Ukraine, he's gonna sell Ukraine to Russia. That's what a dealmaker does. I haven't heard it but I heard it was standard negotiation.
