With news of the new "Grazing Action Plan" created by the USDA to help the cattle industry, we wanted to remind everyone that wolves are not the problem. Wolves have killed 0.002% of cattle, yet hundreds of wolves were killed by government programs.

PBI postdoctoral fellow Dr. Ruth Rivkin led the first-ever synthesis of polar bear evolutionary research, confirming that polar bears are not genetically adapting to climate change. The resulting dataset will empower wildlife managers to incorporate genetics in conservation planning. Impact of this work: Any effort to conserve polar bears begins with an in-depth understanding of their life history and needs. Foundational research is essential to that effort.

PBI’s Chief Research Scientist provided expert commentary about the impacts of proposed oil and gas activities on denning polar bears in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

We’re providing science-based feedback on recent U.S. government proposals that will affect polar bears, including four proposed regulatory changes to the U.S. Endangered Species Act and a draft plan for a new offshore oil and gas leasing program. Impact of this work: By encouraging policies that support polar bear conservation and engaging the public in advocacy, we can help sustain the future of polar bears.

We helped organize and facilitate the International Polar Bear Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, bringing together professionals and polar bear experts to share knowledge, experience and new perspectives. Our presentation on communicating about polar bears and climate change reached 74 participants from 18 countries.

We’re excited to share how you helped us make a significant impact in the first quarter of 2026. Take a look at a few highlights from our science, education, advocacy, and outreach teams in the first quarter of 2026, and read the full report here: pbears.org/4mpyFpG

🚨You spoke out and it worked. But the fight isn’t over. H.R. 1897 faces a vote next week.

This bill would weaken the ESA by blocking new species protections, fast-tracking delistings, shifting power to states, and loosening habitat safeguards, putting wolves and other species at risk.

The out of control Trump Hating, Washington, D.C. District Court Judge, who doesn’t want to accept a $400 Million Dollar GIFT of one of the most beautiful Ballrooms anywhere in the World, desperately needed by the White House and its future Presidents (Due to time constraints, I will barely get to use it!), wants me to build the “underground” portion of the Ballroom, without the “above ground” portion, but the underground doesn’t work, isn’t necessary, and would indeed be useless, without the above ground sections. The underground portion is wedded to, and serves, the upper portion, including the Bomb Shelters, a State of the Art Hospital and Medical Facilities, Protective Partitioning, Top Secret Military Installations, Structures, and Equipment, Protective Missile Resistant Steel, Columns, Roofs, and Beams, Drone Proof Ceilings and Roofs, Military Grade Venting, and Bullet, Ballistic, and Blast Proof Glass. It’s all tied together as one big, expensive, and very complex unit, which is vital for National Security and Military Operations of the United States of America! The Judge’s decision, which doesn’t even discuss the vital subject of STANDING, of which the plaintiff has none, severely jeopardizes the lives and welfare of the people who work, and will be working, at the White House — including all future Presidents of the United States, and their families. President DONALD J. TRUMP

This is a crazy person

"You're spending taxpayer dollars to drink milk shirtless in a hot tub with Kid Rock. Somehow you think that's a better public health message than informing the public about the benefits of vaccines. Really? -- Rep. Linda Sanchez to RFK Jr

Your reminder to stop and smell the flowers on this beautiful spring day!🌻

Raskin offers bill setting up 25th Amendment process to remove Trump from office. He wants to set up a commission yo determine whether Trump is mentally fit for office.

I hope they submit the Jesus tweets into the record. 👀

We need to all step back. This is unbelievably erratic, unstable, and dangerous behavior. Congress needs to act.

At least she and Ivana will have a few things in common!!

🚨Congress pushed the vote for HR 1897 because of public outcry but it will still be voted on soon. For those who aren't aware, the U.S. House of Representatives will vote on legislation that directly attacks the ESA, severely impacting wolves and other wildlife.

Fascism is failing - democracy is winning

Even his cultists on Truth Social aren’t thrilled with this one from the demented megalomaniac.

Man. Person. Camera. Jesus. Doctor.

NASA recently released a breathtaking image of Earth, as seen from Space.

Could we do a Truman Show situation where we build a fake Oval Office where he watches AI created fake news about himself and let him believe he's still president and tweet the hours away and meanwhile we can impeach him and move on...I'm not sure he'd know the difference

Northern lights ❄️🌌

70% think AI will lead to fewer jobs.

They are right.

We can’t allow a handful of billionaires, eager to increase their wealth and power, to rush forward with a technology that will fundamentally transform humanity without democratic input or accountability.

📣H.R. 1897 could be voted on by the full House next week. This bill would gut the ESA and dismantle the very foundation of environmental law in this country.

The Hungarian people wisely refused to listen to these grifting scumbags.

JD Vance is on a historic roll:

He campaigns for AfD in Germany - they lose.

Invited the Pope to come to US for Trump’s big event - Pope refuses.

Leads peace negotiations with Iran - fails miserably.

Campaigns in Hungary for Orbán - who gets smoked.
