Interesting read of R machinations. Funny to think of all the hair on fire. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/10/m...

Senator Mike Lee has introduced a last-minute amendment to the Wildfire Prevention Act that would eliminate the 2001 Roadless Rule, stripping protections from roughly 60 million acres of national forest land. This is an attempt to sneak a major public lands policy change through before most

"History will assign responsibility clearly. The only question is how much America will have lost before it does."

Republican lawmakers and the state of Florida filed briefs ahead of an imminent Florida Supreme Court ruling that could clear the way for the GOP to use a gerrymandered congressional map — and invalidate the state’s voter-approved ban on gerrymandering. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

To everyone who feels like Trump has sucked the joy out of celebrating the 250th birthday of America keep in mind… Republicans don't own July 4th! They own January 6th… Remember that. 😎✨

Today is World Oceans Day, and the theme this year is "Reimagine: Beyond the world we know, a new relationship with our ocean".

What happens when local journalism dies? Communities remain in the dark and politicians aren't held accountable. My latest on Substack: substack.com/@katiephang/...

There is no amount of money, oil, or gold that is worth more than having bees, trees, and clean water.

Intentionally falsifying a federal record to declare living people as dead is a federal crime – Trump and DOGE tried to do that to 2.7 million people.

Americans should be ashamed that we’ve NORMALIZED CORRUPTION.

Peonies are so lovely.

My one ask to everyone right now: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket for free and share its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4a7l1TR

Your 'moment of doom' for June 5, 2026 ~ I read the news today, oh boy. "What makes this episode particularly concerning for myself is that it is unfolding on the back of human-driven climate change. We are no longer dealing with El Niño in isolation." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Watch all the Republican senators fall in line to confirm Blanche because he “canceled” the slush fund (though he won’t put that in writing) but allowed the Trump tax immunity to remain.

The Trump admin's war on science continues. They think that burying data that shows how the climate is changing will help them kill our momentum to take climate action—but we won’t stop fighting, alongside the people living through floods, wildfires, droughts, & climate chaos.

Truth...

Scott Pelley fired from '60 Minutes,' deepening turmoil at CBS News apnews.com/article/cbs-...

In a statement to @benmullin.bsky.social, Scott Pelley disputes what Bari Weiss said in this morning's editorial meeting, claiming he was never offered "a way back" as she claimed. "These executives cannot gain the trust of the staff with lies. This is antithetical to everything we stand for..."

AC is a medical necessity for so many these days. Regions where AC is uncommon are getting dangerously hot.

"Mr. Pelley also wrote that senior managers at CBS News had pressured him to insert bias into stories for “60 Minutes” this past season, though he did not provide details about specific segments." Pretty important part of the story re his firing. Maybe *the* most important part. CBS = new Fox.

Many of us suffered quietly as we saw the beginning of the war on science. The fear was real; everything unraveled so quickly. We ain’t keeping our heads down. In 2026, staying out of politics leads to our demise. When you protect democracy, you protect science. 🧪 blog.ucs.org/guest-commen...

It would be no surprise at all to see this year and next breach 1.5C - quite possibly by a significant margin - and never again drop back

Here's another look at the progression of the global surface temperature anomaly for the month of May, 1940 - 2026. Do you see that spike in 1998? It was the result of the massive 97/98 El Nino. That (and more) could happen in 2027. Stay tuned!

This is really important. “More than 100 retired NASA astronauts have banded together to form a new nonpartisan organization…” and its members believe deeply in “principles such as the rule of law, checks and balances, and the peaceful transition of power.” Follow @astronauts4america.bsky.social

Ossoff details "Prince Eric and Prince Don's" corrupt dealings in Kazakstan and says, "here's the bottom line.

Can you guys please talk about Vought trying to destroy science? It's incredibly important and more people need to know and submit comments and call their reps

You cannot celebrate our 250 yr history while at the same time trying to whitewash it over and remove it from the books.

Okay, now, since putting his own name on things illegally isn't an official duty of the President, make him pay for it all.

Perryman: They want to make the conversation about how much money is in there, who’s going to claim it—you know, like, let’s start with the fact that you have no authority. You don’t just get to sit at the White House and create these types of funds. There’s no authority to do that.
