ONLY 2 DAYS left to comment. www.regulations.gov/comment/FS-2... DO NOT rescind the roadless rule. The goal is to make it easier to take our national resources at a discount. The takers then pay the Trump family.

When my father was faculty at Cornell he was stopped by the police chief in the street & asked who he was & where he was going. When he balked at the fact that no one but him, an Arab man, was being asked, the chief said “I’m just protecting students” Same guy failed to investigate 7 rapists.

5 days left to comment on removing the roadless rule for pristine areas of national parks. The push for roads is to sell off our national resources. Currently there are less then 300K comments. It took 1 M to get the rule. Comment here. www.regulations.gov/document/FS-...

Records come and records go. But this is one for the ages. The preliminary Nino 3.4 sea-surface temperature anomaly is now at a record 3.23°C above the 1991-2020 baseline. This crushes the previous daily record set in 1982 by over 1.14°C. The Climate 8-ball is looking up.

History in the making: Before launching military strikes abroad, Trump consulted ... a megadonor’s AI chatbot. Of course, Trump didn’t need AI; he needed the patience to sit through a foreign policy meeting without falling asleep. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Trump reportedly sought input from Musk’s AI chatbot on military strikes
This was almost certainly the first time in U.S. history that a president consulted an AI chatbot about a provocative foreign policy gambit.

Essential reading from Steve Vladeck. And he's right, this is explicitly a regime of "deportation to torture," with the express approbation of SCOTUS. Are the justices committing serious crimes under international law? Yes. They are. And they appear to be proud to enable their dictator.

Deregulation is a sign that citizens will live in greater poverty. Power plant pollution reduction rules and expanded health credits spread wealth to citizens. Regulations are expensive. Govt regulations are based on the assigned value of a citizen. Ending regulations means they have devalued us.
