"I'm not a big fan of those crazy windmills," Trump said, mimicking a windmill's circular motion with his finger. "They're made in China but not used by China. Let's look for a couple of wind farms in China. See if you can find one." China is the undisputed leader in wind and solar power, according to The Guardian, with nearly twice as much renewable energy under construction as the rest of the world combined. Read more

Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson has accused Apple of violating US law by suppressing conservative-leaning news outlets on Apple News. Ferguson pointed to research by a pro-Trump group that accused Apple News of suppressing articles by Fox News, the New York Post, Daily Mail, Breitbart, and The Gateway Pundit.
The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressive move by the president to roll back climate regulations. The rule finalized by the Environmental Protection Agency rescinds a 2009 government declaration known as the endangerment finding that determined that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases endanger public health and welfare. The endangerment finding by the Obama administration is the legal underpinning of nearly all climate regulations under the Clean Air Act for motor vehicles, power plants and other pollution sources that are heating the planet.
The Trump administration on Thursday announced he will revoke a scientific finding that has served as the foundation for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and enact climate change policies, which he has regularly criticized as "a scam."
Agent Charles Exum is at the wheel, and he can be seen turning sharply left towards the woman's car. The SUV creases the passenger side of the woman's car in what would barely qualify as a fender bender in other circumstances. Be advised, we've been struck! We've been struck!" one of the agents announces over the air. Exum pulls over and, in one smooth move, he slid from behind the steering wheel in his combat attire and drew his handgun. He was not so much enforcing the law as following a script that began with the Trump administration's fiction that its immigration agencies are defending the homeland against an invading horde of murderers, rapists, and pedophiles. He does not appear to have said anything as he fired five times. Here was cosplay for real, involving actual bullets. "Shots fired! Shots fired! We need backup!" one of the agents announces.

President Trump has become so politically toxic that voters now say Joe Biden " whose unpopularity forced him into early retirement " did a better job as president, according to three new polls.
When I was 11, I began identifying as transgender. I had gone down a rabbit hole of websites and niche online forums. There I met a friend"an artist who was 14"whom I admired and looked up to. We both felt different, out of place in society. Born 10 years earlier, we would have been called tomboys. Instead, we writhed under the pressure of the "female role." The internet told us the logical conclusion of that struggle was to identify as boys. I come from a broken home. While my mother and stepfather always loved me, my stepfather became severely disabled when I was 3, leaving me feeling as though I had to raise myself. I eventually reached out to my biological father around a decade later. When he and my stepmother saw my distress"and were told by a psychiatrist that this distress was related to my transgender identity"they began to consider the benefits of affirming me in my transition.
Most people believed that the Supreme Court's 2023 decision to end affirmative action in higher education admissions would cause a big drop in Black and Hispanic enrollment at the nation's top colleges. What happened is more complicated. Overall, more Black and Hispanic students enrolled in four-year universities in fall 2024 than in fall 2023. But in nearly all highly selective private and public colleges"the 85 that accept 25 percent or fewer applicants"Black enrollment declined or remained flat; the same was true of Hispanic enrollment at more than half of those institutions. Public flagships, typically the most selective public universities in their state, experienced a 6 percent increase in the enrollment of Black and Hispanic first-year students. Yet at 20 of the 50 flagships, Black student enrollment fell or flatlined, and Hispanic student enrollment fell or essentially stayed the same at 16.
Florida police confirmed seven deaths following a cross-state mass shooting. The shooter, who also killed himself, was identified as Russell Kot, a cisgender person identifying with he/him' pronouns. According to media reports, two of the murders took place in Fort Lauderdale which were followed by four more murders across the state in Sarasota where the Kot was also found dead by suicide.
A Florida handyman who received a pardon from President Trump for storming the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, has been convicted of multiple state charges of child molestation and exposing himself to children, prosecutors told NPR. Andrew Paul Johnson, the pardoned rioter, attempted to bribe one victim with money he claimed he would receive as part of restitution for Jan. 6 defendants, police reported. The conviction is the latest case of a pardoned Capitol rioter committing new crimes after receiving a pardon. On Tuesday, a jury in Hernando County, Fla., found Andrew Paul Johnson guilty of five charges, including molesting a child under 12 and another under 16, as well as lewd and lascivious exhibition.
Yesterday Trump ordered the Pentagon to use government funding and Pentagon contracts to sustain U.S. coal-fired power plants. He did it via an executive order in which he directed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to enter into agreements to buy electricity from coal plants for military operations. On hand as Trump made the announcement: coal executives, coal miners, and other energy industry people, all of whom would shoot you on sight if you accused them of being socialists but who are now all happy to be the beneficiaries of a scheme in which the government is forcing the purchase of the products of an industry which could not survive if it was not propped up by tax dollars.
"Recent US-Russian talks about ending Moscow's war on Ukraine should not be taken as a sign that Russia poses less of a threat to the US and Europe. Despite this illusory thaw, Russia continues to regard the US as its principal global adversary."
