Not defending what was done in Alaska, IF IT WAS DONE. But reporting was done by the NYTimes so doesn’t that make it FAKE NEWS in Trumpland? #FakeNews Asking for a MAGAt.

This means polluters can keep making record profits while poisoning the air we breathe. I helped restore methane standards after Trump left office the first time. Now he's undermining those protections again to give polluters a $45 billion handout. washingtonpost.com/climate-e…

Trump to announce relaxed rules on oil firms’ methane leaks

Biden-era regulations demanded methane be captured rather than flared and put limits on volatile organic compounds that can cause dangerous air pollution.

Kentucky residents played a loud recording of the noise pollution from data centers to show its disruptive impact. Within seconds, county officials grew irritated and told them to “act like adults” and turn it off. The corrupt politicians who vote for and push these data centers onto our communities couldn’t handle the piercing sound for a few seconds, yet expect residents to live with it every day. Welcome to the USA, where politicians prioritize the bottom line of the corporations and billionaires that fund their campaigns over the needs of our people and communities.

The brilliant dealmaker that is Donald Trump strikes again. Russia gets more money to fund its war against Ukraine, and we get...a diesel shipment that won’t even cover two hours' worth of U.S. demand. Oh, and experts say it’ll barely make a dent in fuel prices. Starting a war that sends fuel prices skyrocketing, then turning to VLADIMIR PUTIN OF ALL PEOPLE to help clean up your mess is insanity. nbcnews.com/business/energy/…
