Calling Enbridge's continued operation of 73-year-old oil and gas pipelines in the Straits of Mackinac a "ticking time bomb," Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has renewed her appeal to the Canadian oil transport giant to cease operation of its Line 5 in the Straits. www.freep.com/story/news/l...

Construction of a proposed Enbridge pipeline tunnel under the Straits of Mackinac can't move forward until legal questions are resolved, EGLE Director Phil Roos said.

Happy 72nd Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools. She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama. The past isn’t past.

There have been so many impeachable offenses, but lying about how you were a hero on a day that 2,753 people died in NYC in the 9/11 disaster—when you were on the other side of town, safely calling local media to brag about how you now had the tallest downtown building—is such a despicable one

Thank you Heather Cox Richardson for repeating the truth about the Biden economy. I am so tired of their bashing and lies. He did an outstanding job in restoring economic growth.

"If you are watching members of this administration, they are constantly blaming the Biden administration for their own problems. And just a reminder, the Biden economy was so strong that the economist, which is NOT a hotbed of leftist ideology, let me tell you, said it was the envy of the world. That Biden had knocked it out of the park, that he had done the equivalent of a catching an egg on a plate, bringing the United States out of the Pandemic to the strongest country in the world. So, this idea that somehow Biden screwed up is just absolutely ridiculous, and certainly, almost two years into a second administration to continue to say, 'Oh it's Biden’s fault' is just ridiculous."

So if my math is right, the amount of money Trump made in 2025 alone (2.2 billion), is roughly equivalent to the combined net worth of all 44 other presidents at the peak of their wealth. (~2.5 billion). His current net worth, mostly from the last three years, is 3x all other presidents combined.

It's like a parody, but it's deadly serious; the Commerce Department (which includes Census, NOAA, and others) has outright deleted "don't alter or suppress scientific findings for political reasons" from its scientific integrity rules. Seriously.

Protecting against "inappropriate influence" is no longer a "hallmark" of scientific integrity

The Commerce Department updated its policy for promoting a "culture of scientific integrity" in January 2025, days before Trump's second inauguration.

A new Trump administration order bans the Census Bureau and the Bureau of Economic Analysis from using statistical “noise,” or data for fuzzing survey results, to protect people’s privacy in their statistics.

The 2025 version included bans on attempts to shape or interfere in data collection, statistical analysis and other scientific activities "against well-accepted scientific methods and theories or without scientific justification."

The department's policy, the 2025 version said, involves ensuring scientific findings at its agencies "are not suppressed, delayed, or altered for political purposes and are not subjected to inappropriate influence," as well as making sure there's "independent review of facilities, methodologies, and other scientific activities as appropriate to ensure scientific integrity."

That language is missing, however, in the Trump administration's revision of the policy, according to an NPR analysis of text posted on the Commerce Department's website.

And while the revision adopts a definition for "scientific integrity" that is similar to the previous version, it no longer says that "protection from inappropriate influence" is among the "hallmarks of scientific integrity."

The Trump administration has filed 36 emergency applications since last February, which have generated 31 conclusive rulings. In those 31 rulings, the Court has voted *for* Trump in whole or in part 27 times (87.1%), and against him four times (12.9%). Here's a chart covering all of these rulings:
