Nature Report, Killed by Trump, Is Released Independently

Scientists and other experts were preparing an assessment of the health of nature in the US when Trump returned to the White House. He canceled the report. The researchers went ahead and compiled it on their own. This week, they released a 868-p draft for public comment and scientific review.

How a DHS shooting of a third U.S. citizen went unnoticed for months No state or federal agency disclosed that a Homeland Security Investigations agent had killed Ruben Ray Martinez until it was revealed in a public records request.

How many more immigration assassinations are being hidden from the American people? How many more violent, masked thugs are being protected from legal consequences? When this god-awful period of our lives is over, we’re going to shake every part of our government loose.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is planning to widen the shipping channel leading into Port Everglades, blasting through a coral reef and dredging up sediment that could smother acres of coral, federal scientists say. https://wapo.st/4r7kRAU

Sea level much higher than assumed in most coastal hazard assessments - Nature Meta-analyses on a global scale show that the measured coastal mean sea level is higher than assumed in most coastal hazard assessments.

Most research may have underestimated coastal sea-level height across the world by an average of 0.3 m, according to a study in Nature. In some areas in the Global South, these levels may be up to 1 m higher than previously assumed: spklr.io/63320EDBy0

A heartbreaking reminder: rubella can cause severe birth defects like heart issues and vision loss. Rubella infection early in pregnancy can result in miscarriage or fetal death.

Was AI used for the targeting that likely resulted in the bombing of the girls school?

We must have answers to that question and there is ZERO reason for delay because the Pentagon damn well already knows the answer.

BREAKING:

The Justice Department just posted online three FBI interviews that had been missing from the massive trove of Epstein files initially released.

They're related to unsubstantiated sexual assault allegations against Donald Trump.

ALERT: GoFundMe created unauthorized donation web pages for over 1.4 million charities.

Today, I'm demanding GoFundMe remove ALL unauthorized pages from their website and disclose where donations actually went.

Taking advantage of people's goodwill is unacceptable and illegal.
