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.

NEW: The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica built the Rx Inspector tool to show you.
Now a proposed bill would also require manufacturing location information on packaging for both generic and brand-name drugs.

America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth.
The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%.
Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has blocked Trump's effort to deploy the National Guard in Illinois to protect officials carrying out his mass-deportation policy.
President Trump has announced the Navy will begin building a new fleet of warships. And, a federal judge has ruled the deportations of more than 100 Venezuelan men to El Salvador were illegal. n.pr/4965AJD
Users need to revolt against what will very likely be an even more widespread effort to censor voices critical of Israel.
When Russian bombs fall they don't ask for your consent to the war or to fight, they kill everyone despite your politics or identitarian fixes. This isn't a debate of whether you want it or not, agree to it or not, or even believe in it, just prepare and be ready.
Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled in the History of South America. It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before Until such time as they return to the United States of America all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us. The illegitimate Maduro Regime is using Oil from these stolen Oil Fields to finance themselves, Drug Terrorism, Human Trafficking, Murder, and Kidnapping. For the theft of our Assets, and many other reasons, including Terrorism, Drug Smuggling, and Human Trafficking, the Venezuelan Regime has been designated a FOREIGN TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. Therefore, today, I am ordering A TOTAL AND COMPLETE BLOCKADE OF ALL SANCTIONED OIL TANKERS going into, and out of, Venezuela. The Illegal Aliens and Criminals that the Maduro Regime has sent into the United States during the weak and inept Biden Administration, are being returned to Venezuela at a rapid pace. America will not allow Criminals, Terrorists, or other Countries, to rob, threaten, or harm our Nation and, likewise, will not allow a Hostile Regime to take our Oil, Land, or any other Assets, all of which must be returned to the United States, IMMEDIATELY. Thank you for your attention to this matter! DONALD J. TRUMP PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 443 ReTruths 1.26k Likes Dec 16, 2025, 5:46 PM
Donald Trump declares he's surrounded Venezuela and is imposing a total naval blockade without a congressional authorization, in international law speak, this is an official declaration of war from the United States to Venezuela. Days before the Epstein files release.
Dozens of people lined up at Sydney's Bondi Beach to pay tribute to the 15 victims and those wounded in Sunday's Hanukkah festival shootings, Australia's worst mass shooting in nearly 30 years.
When Trump’s administration stopped making pennies, they left banks, retailers, and consumers unsure how to conduct basic cash transactions.
The result? Inconsistent price-rounding and unequal treatment of customers. I’m pushing for answers.
One of my fundamental beliefs is that I should not have to talk to people who have been cruel to me. You might be surprised to learn how often -- and vociferously -- people disagree with me about that.
NEW: Chemical industry lobbyists have long pushed the government to adopt a less stringent approach to gauging the cancer risk from chemicals, one that would help ease regulations on companies that make or use them.
They finally got their wish.

Wow, the House passed the release of the Epstein files by the vote of 427 - 1. Now the Senate has to vote on it.
#ReleaseTheEpstineFiles
A huge win!!! Federal court blocks Texas from using new congressional gerrymander in 2026 midterms!
Breaking: An Epstein survivor just silenced press conference attendees when she delivered the following remarks:
“Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government belongs to the American people, or to those who prey on them.”
BREAKING: A federal judge ordered public schools in Texas to remove displays of the Ten Commandments in their classrooms.
By surrendering so utterly and completely at a moment of their maximum leverage and momentum, Senate Democrats taught Trump and his cadre an important lesson: Do enough damage and your opponents will buckle. Because of this surrender, our democracy is more imperiled now than it was before.
