A co-writer of the Oscar-nominated “Don’t Look Up,” a dark comedy about the looming threat of climate change. (Spoiler: Most people do not, in fact, look up.) Today, Sirota is the editor-in-chief and founder […]

Let’s Count All the Ways Marjorie Taylor Greene Is Angry With President Trump

/

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.)’s fealty to President Donald Trump has, for the most part, seemed nearly unshakable. She has compared him to Jesus Christ. She has repeatedly—and falsely—claimed that the 2020 election was stolen from him. And she reportedly wanted to be Trump’s VP, claiming to the Guardian that her name was “on a […]

Churches Can Now Endorse Candidates and Trump Couldn’t Be Happier

/

On Monday, President Donald Trump spoke for nearly 90 minutes at the White House Faith Luncheon, a gathering of faith leaders and CEOs whose companies support faith-based groups.

The Club World Cup Was a Showcase for Donald Trump’s America

/

In an administration beset by self-inflicted chaos and personal feuds, there has been one gleaming constant at President Donald Trump’s side for much of the last four months.  It was there when Trump promised to “wean off FEMA” and claimed that “in theory, you shouldn’t have any forest fires.” It was there when he threatened […]

Red States, Defying Reality, Are Reclassifying Gas as a “Green” Fuel

/

This story was originally published by Grist and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. In Louisiana, natural gas—a planet-heating fossil fuel—is now, by law, considered “green energy” that can compete with solar and wind projects for clean energy funding.

We May Have to Take Climate Risks Into Our Own Hands Now

This story was originally published by Vox.com and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. In 2023, my husband and I bought our house in southwest Colorado, in part because it backed up to open space. That was the dream: trails just past the fence, a scrubby network of oak and sage stretching out into the hills beyond. But […]

While he survived, one of his supporters, 50-year-old Corey Comperatore, was fatally shot; two other rallygoers were also wounded but survived. The shooter, whose motive remains unclear, was rapidly killed by Secret Service countersnipers. On […]
