Halloween Shocker: Trump Axes Work to Learn Whether Offshore Wind Farms Harm Bats

/

This story was originally published by Canary Media and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. It’s a known problem that onshore wind turbines kill bats. But it’s unclear whether the same issue applies to offshore wind installations—and the Trump administration just canceled groundbreaking research into the question. Earlier this month, the nonprofit Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) […]

Sorry Geese: If You Don’t Pay Your Taxes, Uncle Sam Might Have You Plucked

/

If you’ve been thinking about tax resistance lately, you’re not alone. On progressive social channels, I’ve seen increasing calls for a federal tax strike in response to a federal government that doesn’t even pretend to represent all Americans, that uses base language to demonize immigrants and left-leaning citizens, and openly penalizes cities and states the […]

California Fights Trump’s Attempt to Steal the Midterms

/

When Sara Sadhwani, a Democratic member of California’s independent redistricting commission and a professor of political science at Pomona College, first heard of California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s vow to enact a new congressional redistricting map in response to Texas passing a Trump-inspired mid-decade gerrymander, she was skeptical.   “My initial response was, you don’t have […]

Sean Duffy’s Holy War at the Transportation Department

/

Sean Duffy has spent most of his adult life as a professional attention-seeker. He is a former reality TV star, for one, and also a former Fox News host. Tough luck, then, that in the second Trump administration, Duffy got stuck as secretary of the most dreary of federal agencies—transportation. When was the last time […]

Tucker Carlson’s Lovefest With a White Nationalist Just Blew Up the Christian Right

/

Earlier this week, conservative commentator Tucker Carlson hosted far-right influencer Nick Fuentes on his livestream show. Carlson had undoubtedly anticipated a blockbuster interview, and Fuentes, the leader of the extremist “groyper” movement, delivered handsomely, offering a buffet of provocative sound bites designed to spread far and wide on social media. He made the case for […]

/

This story was originally published by the Guardian and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Despite historic environmental rollbacks under a president who pulled the United States from a key international climate treaty—and recently called global warming “the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world”—US civil society groups say they are gearing up to push for bold […]

Hegseth Bars Bearded Troops From Air Force Event

/

Pete Hegseth appears to have found a great workaround for racial integration at military events: When the rules won’t allow you to put up a “No Coloreds” sign, you can just ban soldiers with shaving waivers instead. The Pentagon boss—who now insists on being called the “Secretary of War”—is refusing entry to servicemen with beards […]

House Candidate Kat Abughazaleh Calls Her Indictment for Protesting a “Political Prosecution”

/

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice unsealed an indictment against six protesters—including 26-year-old Democratic congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh—for allegedly impeding an ICE officer outside of a federal immigration facility in Broadview, Illinois. The move is a stunning continuation of Trump’s weaponization of judicial and police power to crush dissent. “This case is a […]

Food Allergy Rates Are Falling. That’s a Problem for RFK Jr.’s Aluminum Vaccine Theory.

Last week, the New York Times reported a rare bright spot in public health: The number of children who suffer from potentially life-threatening food allergies has declined sharply since the government changed its guidelines around early exposure to products containing common allergens such as peanuts. Federal guidelines had long recommended that parents avoid feeding babies […]
