Federal agencies have shrunk, narrowed their regulatory role and reduced enforcement. What does that mean if you're living on top of a fuel pipeline leak? This community in Pennsylvania found out. @insideclimate

So Paxton's ads are showing here in Washington, D.C. during NFL today. Curious if they are showing everywhere or just here and TX? Looks like one PAC is recycling the "they/them" attack used on @KamalaHarris. What do people think about the proper response?
Justice Alito won't be on the bench next week when the Supreme Court hears oil companies' bid to block climate change lawsuits. But his vote already may have been decisive in getting the high court to hear Suncor v. Boulder. @insideclimate insideclimatenews.org/news/2…
Please DM me so that I can communicate with someone. First you wouldn't recognize my power of attorney, then you said Medicare wouldn't pay for my mother's test, then you wouldn't charge my credit card when I said we would pay, now you say my doctor hasn't authorized it.
That is absurd. My doctor (my mother's doctor) is the one who ordered the test. You have sent me five automated messages saying the test was on its way. Every time I call to find out why it didn't arrive, your call center in Asia says it can't be sent.

When EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin terminated the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund one year ago, he said he thought it was a “criminal” scheme. His agency never proved wrongdoing, but the legal battle continues, with grantees locked out of their accounts.

The full extent of the exodus from the Environmental Protection Agency only became clear this week. With @paldhous analyzing the new data, @insideclimate reports 4,000 departures from EPA in the first year of Trump's second term. insideclimatenews.org/news/0…
Full 2025 data is in, and electricity prices went up 5% in the US. Maybe less than you've heard (based on earlier numbers) but still > inflation rate and extremely high in some places. My colleague @DanGearino @insideclimate break it down. insideclimatenews.org/news/0…
The EPA plans big changes to the Clean School Bus program that Congress created in the 2021 infrastructure bill. Expect less support for electric buses and more for alternative fuels, such as natural gas. My latest for @insideclimate insideclimatenews.org/news/2…
Trump 2.0 and the National Parks: "A systematic way of trying to negate our relationship with the land, our mutual ownership of the land, our understanding of our own history.” fm @blaineharden @insideclimate insideclimatenews.org/news/2…
"He had a phone up into ICE's face. Is that protesting peacefully?"--Todd Blanche just now on @MeetThePress So he gets shot 10 times? I'd like to know if the ICE officers have been pulled off the street pending the investigation, as any city police officer would be.
New Pentagon figures reveal the climate risks of Trump's drive to federalize the National Guard as law enforcers. @insideclimate insideclimatenews.org/news/0…
On Senate Floor, Tillis Offered Inside Look Into the Lobbying Against Clean Energy: "People that haven’t worked a day in business are setting policy in the White House" @insideclimate insideclimatenews.org/news/0…
Before Trump's election, some 47 million metric tons of carbon emissions cuts were expected this year due to U.S. coal plant retirements. One third of those cuts are now in question. insideclimatenews.org/news/0…
“We were prepared, but not for how fast the water came." My colleague @TheAmanAzhar @insideclimate captured the aftermath of the new normal, underscoring the need for greater action on climate resilience. insideclimatenews.org/news/2…
Incidentally, while this storm was happening, Congress was launching its retreat from climate policy. Here's the story @DanGearino and I did then. The situation worsened in the bill passed this morning. I'll post our story here soon. insideclimatenews.org/news/1…
Here's what happened to clean energy tax credits in the House. Fm @DanGearino @insideclimate Much like the rental car agent in a classic Seinfeld episode, the GOP "hold-outs" did not execute the most crucial part of the "hold." insideclimatenews.org/news/2…
What this nation desperately needs at this uncertain time is more 5/4 time and more horn-rimmed glasses.

And of course, this song--its time signature, if not the glasses-- inspired Ian Anderson @jethrotull , five years later (commercial release: 1972) No we won't give in, let's go living in the past. youtu.be/1ljIYO011Zc?si=d5kc…
