Tell Congress: Block Trump’s illegal scheme to gut the US Forest Service. Our public lands are not for sale to developers and polluters. Stand up for our forests before it’s too late.

Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates.
Yes: While you paid your taxes in full, giant corporations maneuvered to pay as little as possible — and it’s all perfectly legal for them.
The system is rigged.
Again, not a good look for Trump that he’s only kicking the woman out of his administration.
Why do they go, but Hegseth, Patel, and Lutnick stay?
In the 1990s, the working class of this country was told that unfettered free trade would create millions of new jobs and raise wages.
As many of us understood then, that claim was a lie.
Now they’re being sold the same false promises about AI.

It's no coincidence that the first case in which Roberts exercised these unprecedented "shadow docket" powers involved climate change policy. Please always remember that his efforts to damage the planet should be as much a part of his legacy as his attacks on democracy.
I thought Scalia was bad. He’s outdone him.
Omg. 😭😡
An elderly, dementia-addled man who defecated in his bed would like you to praise him the for allegations that the sheets are now clean.

They have to work together for the rest of their lives. Disagree legally, even forcefully, but with professionalism. It’s the only way inside the Court. We, of course, can call him a grifting drunken loser.
Seems like they could’ve had this at a coffee shop
NLRB General Counsel Crystal Carey has moved to end a major labor law case against Amazon, which has also sued to have the entire agency declared unconstitutional.
Before being appointed by Trump, Carey worked at a corporate law firm that represented Amazon.
Connect the dots.
Lost in the news the past few days is the Trump administration proposing to weaken rules that limit how coal companies handle toxic waste that can reach groundwater.
The new rule would let states grant exemptions from standards that keep contaminants like mercury & lead away from your water supply.
Russell Vought set out to ensure a second Trump term would not be hampered by checks and balances: “I don’t want President Trump having to lose a moment of time having fights in the Oval Office about whether something is legal or doable or moral.”
Fluoride in drinking water has no effect on IQ or brain function, a long-term study shows.
The new research is the first to measure community water fluoridation exposure during childhood and any potential impact on cognition up to age 80.

Why would portraying yourself as a “Red Cross” doctor be a joke?
I’ve managed to pass down just a touch of the thrill to my adult sons. One shared yesterday he saw a rufous hummingbird. The other sends me photos of plants he’s growing. They all go together in nature.
You've opened a window to lifelong joy, beauty, and learning.

It doesn't have to be this way.
