‘A Serious Misuse of My Research’: Climate Scientists Say New Trump Energy Report Botches Their Work “Our work has no relevance,” an astrobiologist whose research was cited in the administration’s climate change report said.

🚨 At least 10 scientists, all cited in the Trump admin's new climate change report, told me that the report completely mischaracterizes their research.

I also found five citations with significant errors, and a paragraph missing an important citation.

The MAHA Report Cites Studies That Don’t Exist The Trump administration’s “Make America Healthy Again” report misinterprets some studies and cites others that don’t exist, according to the listed authors.

Seven of the cited sources in the MAHA report don’t appear to exist at all.

“The paper cited is not a real paper that I or my colleagues were involved with,” Epidemiologist Katherine Keyes told NOTUS via email.

Trump Administration Ups Its Attacks on Maine, Targeting Offshore Wind Projects The administration sent stop work orders to three University of Maine grants.

scoop: Maine's innovative floating offshore wind project was just weeks away from final construction.

But now Trump's Department of Energy has ordered that work stop on the $12.6 million grant, and on 2 other DOE grants at University of Maine

Trump’s Order Bolstering Coal Looks a Lot Like a Kentucky Law Energy analysts found the order, which invoked little-used emergency powers, alarming.

DOE usually uses emergency powers to keep power supply during hurricanes, crises, etc. Trump ordered them to seriously break precedent and use it to keep power plants (coal) from shutting down

The order looks eerily similar to a 2023 Kentucky law...

What Are Trump’s Plans for FEMA? Depends Who You Ask. DHS Secretary Noem said she’s going to “eliminate” the agency. The lawmakers who say they were tapped by Trump to review FEMA say they’re working on reforms.

Things lawmakers & admin do not appear on the same page on:
- Whether FEMA should exist
-Whether FEMA should have some disaster response capabilities
-Whether Trump has tapped anyone to be on FEMA Review Council

Trump’s Trade War Risks Blackouts in the Northern United States Ontario slapped a 25% tariff on electricity in response to Trump’s trade war, an escalation that could eventually lead to blackouts across Michigan, Minnesota, New York and other northern states.

NEWS: Trade war with Canada is now risking electricity blackouts in New York, Michigan, Minnesota.

In all the uproar over Ontario's 25% electricity tariff and Trump's angry response, we're missing the biggest risk — the stability of the grid itself. 🔌💡

A 👀 quote from a DNC member in @notusreports.bsky.social

The pitch and organizing around a working class coalition has been multiracial (culinary union, meat factory workers etc) — if that's still not getting through internally, that's a huge issue for progressives.

Republicans In ‘DOGE’ Caucus Not Too Familiar With Original Doge Meme Lawmakers are rebranding their deficit reduction efforts as a “Department of Government Efficiency,” but many are clueless about the new brand.

“I’ve got a dog myself,” Schmitt said. “I’m a big fan of the canines.”

very normal way to say "I love dogs"

‘Postal-Naming Destruction’: The Least Controversial Thing Congress Does Is Becoming Controversial More and more of what Congress does on a day-to-day basis is naming post offices. Some members want to end the practice.

This should be required reading for all incoming Members and staff. It explains a lot about how Congress actually works (or doesn't) currently.

Jack Smith Has Dropped the Jan. 6 Case Against Trump. He Stands By the Charges. “The government’s position on the merits of the defendant’s prosecution has not changed,” Smith wrote.

One Major Obstacle to Trump’s Mass Deportation Promise: Local Law Enforcement “I’m not gonna let the government tell me what to do in my job,” one Trump-supporting sheriff told NOTUS.

NEW from @caseyrmurray.bsky.social on what Trump's "mass deportation" actually looks like if Republicans don't agree on who should be targeted, have very little to say on how they would fund it, and local law enforcement says it can't do more than it's already doing.
