From FN 8. "...in light of concerns raised by some commenters about the draft report authored by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Climate Working Group (CWG), the EPA is not relying on the May 27, 2025 CWG draft report"
"Across the United States, the NO2 exposure of ∼22 million people would fall below the World Health Organization (WHO)'s long-term exposure guideline (10 µg/m3 or 5.2 ppbv) if they reduced or stopped cooking with gas or propane."
I need Italy to drop the details of the remix of Largo al factotum that they used for their walk in music for the Winter Olympics last night. The people need it for our workout playlists!
Another way to write this headline is to simply state “Trump lied about Project 2025: Here are the policies from it he’s implemented”

Another 2024 study found that PM2.5 exposure explains half of the mortality gap between Black and white Americans

This morning, we sued the Trump Administration over its unlawful freeze of $2.5 billion congressionally approved funding for charging infrastructure.
People want and deserve reliable EV charging infrastructure and the administration is taking us backwards.

The number of children injured or killed by cars while walking or riding a bike has fallen steadily since the 1970s, but CDC researcher note that this decline is not because streets are safer, but because fewer kids are out and about in the first place.
all this reporting on dc's challenges but no mention that congress voided our rewrite of the criminal code then a few years later cut a billion dollars from our budget.🤷🏾
The world is drowning in plastic. Experts say we need to stop making so much.
But the plastics industry is peddling a "solution" that works like magic.
Don't be fooled.

Photo of a rainbow at the Nats baseball stadium in Washington DC, shining on a Roaming Rooster restaurant on the second deck of the park.
According to this rainbow, a pot of gold can be found in the Roaming Rooster at Nats Park.
Fantastic news, for both workers and residents, in Alexandria. As Jesse Maines from the city noted, "running a gas-powered leaf blower for one hour is comparable to driving from DC to Miami in a new car." Hopefully, the ban passes, but the key will be enforcement.

One of the most impressive parts of OKC basketball is their ability to get nearly everyone in their stadium to wear their free t-shirts game after game. Judging by other cities this year, OKC’s t-shirt compliance, even among the rich with floor seats, has got to be a modern NBA record.
Men are not constantly being told “you’re bad,” they are constantly being told “LEFT WING SJWS THINK YOU’RE BAD” by conservative propaganda. There’s a huge difference.
E-bikes consistently bring the type of joy and freedom that cars promise.

It’s hard to think of a more moving photo of a politician in recent memory. Legit brought tears to my eyes. Thank you Senator @vanhollen.senate.gov for not giving up on your constituent.

Over the past 20 years, Paris has undergone a major physical transformation, trading automotive arteries for bike lanes, adding green spaces and eliminating 50,000 parking spaces.
Part of the payoff has been invisible — in the air itself.
Pushing for sprawl is the housing version of Trump’s “drill, baby, drill.” As with energy, we desperately need more housing. But the environmental effects of sprawl—like coal and oil—are well known. Building dense, walkable neighborhoods is the answer, not sprawl.

It's worth noting that the two things that this study found to be effective in avoiding deaths caused by coal pollution—closing coal power plants and installing emission control devices—are also the two things that the Trump administration is trying to undermine.
The retort here is simple: coal kills.
"[B]etween 1999 and 2020, 460,000 deaths would not have occurred in the absence of emission from the coal power plants."

Biking to work today was … “fun.”
I saw a version of this on here before but it's worth yelling: these institutions that Musk is illegally dismantling– the weather service, health system, climate & energy research, international aid, maybe the US mail(?)– they don't belong to him, they belong to us. We invested in them. They're ours
I would be making a big deal out of this if I were an elected Democrat
Quote from article “You Don’t Get Trump Without Gaza” by Ben Ehrenreich “Like the devil, vampires, and the more timid varieties of ghost, fascism must be invited in. The Trump administration’s first political persecutions have all targeted individuals who were bold enough to believe that constitutional guarantees of free expression extended to solidarity with Palestine. This was hardly an accident. In the time-honored practice of predatory bullies everywhere, Trump’s minions went after the defenseless first, and specifically those made vulnerable not only by their immigration status but by a 15-month-and-running bipartisan campaign to repress opposition to the ongoing slaughter in Gaza, an effort in which nearly every political, educational, and cultural institution in American society has taken part.”
Fantastic piece by Ben Ehrenreich on how the bipartisan repression of anti-genocide protests set the groundwork for Trump’s fascism.

“The carnage on our highways and roads is just intolerable, and I think the public wants to see real action. We need to make this a serious national priority, and not just something that every local government struggles with on its own.” - @raskin.house.gov

So, the DOGE kids intend to rewrite the social-security administration's COBOL code-base!
and they want to do it ...
... in *a few months*
I did a huge dive into COBOL a few years ago (www.wealthsimple.com/en-ca/magazi...) ...
... so let me explain why DOGE is *way* over its skis here
