ICE is targeting journalists at Delaney Hall. They’re hitting photographers, breaking fingers and smashing off lenses.

Finally leaving Delaney Hall. I have never been hit with as much bear spray in my life as I have today. My eyes, mouth, skin. Pain. Please follow. Thanks goodnight.

Axios is reporting that a company 'accidentally' spent $500 million in one month on AI after failing to establish usage limits for its employees. www.axios.com/2026/05/28/a...

Climate change is on the ballot, California. Your next Governor should not take contributions from Big Oil. They should be unafraid to take on Big Oil. x.com/RepKatiePort...

Yesterday I made an unannounced visit to an ICE detention center in California City to conduct oversight with three of my Democratic congressional colleagues. Civilians are being held in prison-like conditions with inadequate access to mental health care and asylum judges.

Ok, I'm sorry to keep banging this drum but I just can't get over @nytimes.com linking to Roger Pielke's blog when discussing debates among scientists about RCP 8.5, and not mentioning anything about AEI's funding from the fossil fuel industry. A second thread: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/26/c...

"fewer people believe it now than when the same question was asked in 2019 and 2022" 🤔 I wonder if this has anything to do with this travesty? ##EndClimateSilence

Farmers in northern Vietnam are dismantling a decades-old cemetery to make way for a $1.5bn golf course and luxury residential development by the Trump Organization and its local partners, a project seen as crucial for ties between Hanoi and Washington. ft.trib.al/YCZl74S

A massive thermal battery system is coming to South Dakota, and the electric utility rate it’s piloting could bring the systems into the mainstream.

I know there is a lot going on, and not all of this is new, but numerous aspects of this OMB proposal are highly alarming and would, if enacted, effectively force American scientists receiving federal funding (which is...most of them in some capacity or another) to stop engaging with the public.

Via B of A:

This important new research illuminates a critical point that all policymakers should consider: By failing to account for the health harms & costs of burning fossil fuels, we subsidize energy sources that hurt us and thereby penalize better (cleaner) choices that help us. @gchalliance.bsky.social

New Jersey Rep. Tom Kean Jr. hasn't been seen in Congress since March, and Republicans are quietly panicking. His competitive swing district could flip, potentially costing the GOP its fragile House majority. Nobody's saying where he is or why.

The world is producing more wealth than ever, but it's not going to workers -- it's going to companies and their shareholders. The drivers are outsourcing, corporate concentration, automation, and laws hostile to collective bargaining. www.wsj.com/finance/stoc...

Contact your Members of Congress and urge them to take immediate action to demand dignity for immigrants, and be in solidarity with the people in detention on hunger strike. Senate: indivisible.org/actions/tell... House: indivisible.org/actions/dema...

Amazing.

Exactly as predicted when the administration started these illegal strikes.

Just spitballing, but I think Porter should drop out and endorse Steyer, and he should eventually appoint her as head of California’s Dept of Financial Protection and Innovation

Which is a follow-up to

And there's no one whose probity and judgment I respect more than @billmckibben.bsky.social who, unlike me, knows Steyer well and has for a long time. Bill writes:

And then there's the way you can judge someone by their enemies: Chevron, Occidental Petroleum, PG&E, Meta, and AirBnB are among the sinister corporations spending big to back Becerra. Oh and the prison guards' union! They think Steyer is bad for their businesses, which is a ringing endorsement.

That's been refuted. The fact that his partners wouldn't divest is part of why Steyer left Farallon, the fund he founded.

Steyer is his own man Beccera owes his candidacy to Oil and Gas and Tech Bros. Beccera is beholden to his donors and Steyer is beholden to the people of CA. www.huffpost.com/entry/tom-st...

A decade ago, analysts were calling Spain a cautionary tale. Too much solar, too fast! Today, Spain is rapidly on its way to having the cheapest power in Europe. Maybe this time, solar naysayers will learn... haha, jk, they'll just move the goalposts.

Our government telling an adversary to disregard the President's social media posts because they're not real and are intended for promotional purposes and US media consumption, says it all. Holy fuck.

Thanks, Vonnegut. 💜

Every metropolitan area in the US should be studying congestion pricing now to be ready to implement with a new administration. There is no other tool that so quickly and effectively decreases traffic, increase bus speeds, increases transit ridership, and reduces emissions.

Over 50 years later, this anti-Vietnam War PSA still rings true.

"Together, wind and solar generated 22% of global electricity in April, compared with 20% from gas." More evidence: low cost wins in power generation. Gas is expensive and getting more expensive.

BREAKING: 93 House Democrats have filed a motion to block Trump’s self-dealing settlement in his sham $10 billion IRS lawsuit, which would create a $1.7 billion slush fund for Jan. 6 rioters and political allies.

Trump's slush fund would give nearly $2 BILLION in taxpayer dollars to his supporters, including violent criminals. He's just stealing your money. There's no transparency, we won't know who gets paid, or how much. It's illegal and corrupt as hell. We're fighting it in court.

Trump had his personal lawyer, who he installed atop the Justice Department, give him a get-out-of-jail-free card for past, present, and future tax fraud. Stealing taxpayer money and covering up future financial crimes for himself and his family at the same time.
