Wow! "President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico said on Monday that her cabinet had no prior knowledge of the activities involving the Americans in Chihuahua and would investigate whether their involvement in the operation violated Mexico’s national security laws."

‘Get Rid of MAHA’: Trump Alliance Cracks as Climate Denialists Turn on RFK Jr.’s Movement - DeSmog www.desmog.com/2026/04/17/g...
From Gaza to now Iran and Lebanon, Israel is expanding its testing ground for AI-enabled military technology in terrifying ways.
Read my latest piece in Zeteo about how big tech is powering Israel’s AI war machine 👇
My latest story for @desmog.com inside the Heartland Institute’s two-day climate denialism conference:
Major cracks are emerging between climate denialists and MAHA, with fossil fuel allies calling RFK Jr. and his movement a “left-wing op.”
www.desmog.com/2026/04/17/g...
There were so many interesting (distressing) threads to pull, but the denialist / MAHA rift was one of the most fascinating.
Fringe groups like Heartland primarily face opposition from progressives and environmentalists. “Now, it’s a feature of the Trump admin.”
www.desmog.com/2026/04/17/g...
Steve Milloy (climate denier) says the not-so-quiet part out loud about MAHA’s threats to oil and gas:
“It’s only a matter of time before they become interested in climate. The microplastics scare is…another way to get to the fossil fuel industry.” @desmog.com

SCOOP --> Paramount, Meta, and X are refusing to say what happened to their huge contributions to Trump's presidential library after Sen Elizabeth Warren raised questions about its fund getting dissolved. Ds say tens of millions remain unaccounted for.

My big takeaway from reporting this story is that it's not JUST about the Forest Service.
The closure of these stations threatens to upend a delicate system of mutually beneficial collaboration and resource sharing, and the impacts will ripple out far beyond the Forest Service itself.
NEW: Fossil fuel allies warn MAHA’s push on regulating chemicals and plastics could threaten the oil industry — exposing a growing rift inside Trump’s base.
My dispatch for @desmog.com from the Heartland Institute’s climate “realism” conference:
www.desmog.com/2026/04/17/g...
The climate denial movement might be facing a new threat, this time from within the Trump base itself: MAHA.
Fossil fuel allies closely aligned with Trump called MAHA and RFK Jr. a “left-wing op” that they need to “get rid of.”

A new bitter rift is emerging in the MAGA coalition.
Climate deniers close to the Trump admin are now taking aim at MAHA and RFK Jr, calling the movement a “left-wing op” and urging Trump to "get rid" of it.

“The reason why I love these Forest Service research stations is because they have the capacity to look at change over long timescales, the timescales that it actually takes for plant communities to change...A five-year project is a really long project for me, but that’s nothing for a plant”

CBS News has laid off its last climate reporter, David Schechter, leaving one of the US's largest broadcasters with no dedicated climate journalists.
@mmfa.bsky.social has the story:
ICYMI: The @nsarchive.bsky.social published the new Disappearing Data Chronology to track major data losses (and wins!) of the last year.
As @lyndamk.bsky.social put it in an email, we’re going to need resources like these “in putting the pieces back together.”

I provide my commentary on the new timeline here (as I slowly but surely get more comfortable with accompanying short-form video content. Please be gentle).

Glad someone is tracking the administration's assault on the right to information
every once in a while I find something so immediately relevant to my dissertation (around the politics of government data and data quality) that I metaphorically sprint to bookmark it
that discovery has been via bluesky a non-zero number of times
The Trump budget once again proposes to eliminate NOAA OAR, which brings you the CO₂ Keeling Curve. In this piece, I argued that the Keeling Curve is a treasure that belongs to humanity as the most poignant indication of our impact on the environment and as a testament to our ability to document it.
Absolute must read by @thebulletin.org’s @jessimckenzi.bsky.social. One of the most thorough takedowns of climate coverage at The Free Press and the web of climate denialism: “the same narrow band of experts again and again.”
