The Trump admin is fast-tracking a uranium mine in Utah by slashing the permitting process to 14 days, bypassing environmental review and cutting the public out entirely. Projects like this are supposed to go through NEPA, the law that requires environmental impact assessments and public comment.

Library of Congress staff just showed what resistance looks like. After Trump abruptly fired Dr. Carla Hayden, the respected Librarian of Congress, he tried to install Todd Blanche, his former personal lawyer and current Deputy Attorney General, as acting librarian. Staff weren’t having it.

In 2012 the CFPB convened its first field hearing. It was in Birmingham, Al & it was designed to better understand the role the agency could play in protecting people, including vulnerable military families, from payday lenders. I have been a fan ever since. www.consumerfinance.gov/about-us/new...

Tomorrow, the 11th Circuit has a chance to tell a group that tries to keep eligible citizens from voting “no!” There’s a link in this piece so you can listen to the argument and decide for yourself whether the problem is voter fraud or voter suppression. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Just FYI because evidently Fox or OAN or whatever is pushing the lie that America accepted the Statue of Liberty and that’s equivalent to the plane. Congress VOTED to approve receiving the statue. So congress should vote on the jet

The GOP’s reconciliation bill is one of the worst environmental bills I’ve ever seen. It guts public input, silences tribal and community voices, slashes environmental protections, and hands sacred and public lands to the lowest bidder with no accountability.

I'm going to start publicly calling out campaigns that text me because they bought my number from a list. Not just because I've run out of patience, but because if *I* am this annoyed, then I can't even imagine what it's doing to Democrats' reputation among casual voters.

“But there is also a more chilling possibility that we should not rule out…that..every toxic choice made by Trump is not in fact due to mental defect but, on the contrary, is intentional. That it is consciously thought out & well-executed, part of a plan” www.thedailybeast.com/is-trump-out...
