WATCH: Trump, EPA's Zeldin announce end of scientific basis for U.S. action on climate change The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressiv...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, weโ€™ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate changeโ€”all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

When the U.S. Supreme Court said that you could detain people based on their race, their accent, or the language they spokeโ€ฆ there is nothing to preclude ICE from doing that while youโ€™re standing in line getting ready to cast a ballot.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Yearโ€™s Eve. And like Renรฉe Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need yโ€™all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."

The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.

And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

Nancy Pelosi's primary challenger, a founding engineer at Stripe, may be even wealthier than her New disclosures reveal that Saikat Chakrabarti, a former Stripe engineer who was AOC's first chief of staff, is worth at least $167 million.

I have some insight into this story about Nancy Pelosi's challenger @saikatforcongress.bsky.social.

About 17 years sgo I got to know Saikat through mutual friends. We hung out in the same bedrooms and apartments in Manhattan.

Reporter: Why was the national weather service not pinging their phones before 7.. Was it a fundamental failure of the federal governmentโ€™s responsibility to keep us safe?

Noem: Trump is currently upgrading the technology in the national weather service..

โ€œItโ€™s a weird time. Iโ€™ve still got to get to work on time, pay my bills, manage chronic illness, all that stuff, while the world in general seems to be falling apart. It can be a challenge to juggle those two things while making sure one of them doesn't completely destroy my mental health. Itโ€™s just an odd thing to be like: โ€˜Oh, all of these atrocities are being committed in Gaza with my tax dollars, but what am I going to eat for dinner?โ€™ Or: โ€˜Trump just dismantled another check on his power. Weโ€™re slowly sliding into fascism, nobodyโ€™s stopping him-- but what concert should we go to this weekend?โ€™ The strangest part about the whole thing is that weโ€™ve never been so connected. I could understand if this was eighty years ago; news travelled slowly. But now, in an instant, you get these facts, photos, videos. Verified by credible news, verified by aid organizationsโ€”and nobody cares. Well, a lot of people care. But the people who can actually fix things: they donโ€™t care. Instead of standing up for the voiceless, theyโ€™d rather lay low, cling to their money or status. Itโ€™s hard to be a person who cares right now. Sometimes you just want to melt into your bed or couch and be with your feelings. But I wonโ€™t say that I feel hopeless. Iโ€™d never say that, because thatโ€™s what they wantโ€”those people who only care about winning, who donโ€™t care about collateral damage. They want people to feel powerless. And Iโ€™m not going to give them that luxury. There are still reasons to be hopeful. Zohran just won the primary. And thatโ€™s a sign of change, in New York City at least. Even the people who donโ€™t agree with his politics have to admit: his campaign was built on community. It wasnโ€™t funded by billionaires. This was a campaign of fifty thousand people who volunteered, and canvassed, and made calls. Last week a lot of people who had been feeling powerless realized that they still have some power in this country. Letโ€™s just hope a lot more people are learning from that.โ€

Every time I hear someone say, "Since the pandemic," I heave a sigh. Some days I hyperventilate.

BIG BEAUTIFUL BUST

Chaos for Trump and GOPโ€”The House Budget Committee blocks the GOP tax and spending bill from advancing in a 16โ€“21 vote. Republicans Clyde, Roy, Brecheen, Norman, and Smucker voted NO. An embarrassing setback for Johnson and Trump from their own party.

AOC: If anyone is breaking the law in this situation, itโ€™s not members of Congress โ€” itโ€™s DHS. Itโ€™s people like Tom Homan and Secretary Kristi Noem. You lay a finger on Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman or any of the Representatives that were thereโ€ฆ weโ€™re going to have a problem.

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive.

In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkersโ€™ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him.

Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.
