NEW: In late 2024, FBI investigators had enough evidence to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins. Then Trump was reelected and eviscerated the FBI and DOJ teams handling public corruption probes.

Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.

East coast ospreys are in decline. They are resilient and will survive. What happens to the many other *unseen* wildlife that depend on abundant menhaden is of greatest concern. We need more adaptive management of forage fish that accounts for localized depletion along the entire coast.

They aren't claiming the officer feared for his life, but "feared for public safety" when Guerrero attempted to flee. But he was not the target of the warrant. Which means they had no reason to think he was dangerous. Fleeing an immigration stop does not make you a threat to public safety.

The man in the fatal shooting was identified by his neighbor as 26-year-old Joan Sebastian Guerrero from Colombia.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

For these osprey nestlings, they did not survive to fledge. Just one of 20+ failed nests in a colony that I have monitored for over 15 yrs. It is located within NJ’s only marine conservation zone. The new threat is the scarcity of their primary food source: Atlantic menhaden.

Thomas Massie pushed for the release of the Epstein files, and the response has been tens of millions in outside spending, smear campaigns, and coordinated attacks. If this is what they do to a sitting member of Congress, imagine what Epstein survivors face when considering whether to come forward.
