Now the industry has moved from denying the science to discrediting the scientists and influencing the judges who hear these cases. As accountability draws closer, they want to rewrite the rules before the evidence is heard.

The price of power itself, driven up when we sideline cheaper sources for volatile fossil fuels. And the growing bill for the damage those fuels leave behind, through insurance, disaster recovery, and taxes.
Over the last five years, billion-dollar disasters have cost more than $746 billion.
I spent years as an environmental lawyer fighting for affordable clean energy, so I know renewable power is among the fastest, lowest-cost energy we can add to the grid. Block it, and families pay more.
Your costs climb two ways.
Measles is totally preventable.
Every outbreak is a reminder of what happens when public health leadership fails.

Trump and Republican Senators put a longtime vaccine skeptic in charge of the nation’s public health agency. Americans deserve leadership that follows medical evidence, promotes vaccination, and treats preventable diseases with the urgency they demand.
When two children in Texas died from measles, the official leading the federal response repeatedly tried to brief RFK Jr. and says those requests were repeatedly denied. Now the country is experiencing its largest measles outbreak in decades, and Orange County has its first reported case.
A toddler in Orange County has measles.
Chrissy and I are praying for this child and their family.
Roy Cohn taught Trump to never admit you’re wrong, never apologize, and always attack.
Nearly fifty years later, Trump is still following that script, and we’re all worse off because of it. www.cnn.com/2026/07/31/p...
Prosecutors admitted the damage came from a “hasty and botched” $14 million renovation, not vandalism, and acknowledged they would never have sought Hearn’s indictment if they had been given the facts from the start.
Trump’s response?
“I disagree 100%… it was a pure case of VANDALISM.”
Then Jeanine Pirro, hardly known for being skeptical of Trump, reviewed the evidence and reached the opposite conclusion.
Trump’s own Justice Department just exposed one of his biggest lies.
For weeks, Trump insisted “vandals” destroyed the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. His administration arrested Americans, including 67-year-old U.S. Olympian David Hearn, based on that claim.
This is your daily reminder that Trump and Republicans are spending billions of your tax dollars on an unauthorized war in Iran and Stephen Miller’s ICE agenda while gutting Medicaid, slashing SNAP, and driving up your health care costs.
The Constitution is clear that the executive spends what Congress approved, for the purpose Congress approved. Nothing more, nothing less.
What happened to stopping waste, fraud and abuse?

The most recent assessment said we needed 4 or 5 ships. We are buying 11.
It’s yet another example of Trump disregarding Congress altogether and Republicans doing nothing to stop him. This is not how our system is supposed to work.
Finnish shipyards build some of the finest icebreakers in the world.
These are specially built ships designed to force a path through frozen ocean.
Then came a late night phone call from Trump, and suddenly the US was buying more than double the icebreakers the Coast Guard said it needed.
Finland’s leader handed Trump a framed picture of an icebreaker at a golf tournament last year.
I’m not trying to pick on Finland, a beautiful country and a genuine friend to the United States.
$7 billion more in no-bid contracts personally approved by Trump, with no approval from Congress. By the time lawmakers found out, the deal was announced and the companies were already celebrating. One of them is run by a CEO who gave $1.7 million to Republicans.
How did this happen?
This is not the standard of accountability we should expect from someone entrusted with the presidency.
www.npr.org/2026/08/02/g...
The public deserves to know why hundreds of Trump-linked accounts were closed, why so much of the record remains under seal, and whether a sitting president’s personal financial interests are influencing the exercise of public power.
When a president’s private business disputes and public authority begin to overlap, everyone should pay attention.
We’ve seen this pattern before. In 2019, during his first term, Trump sued Capital One and Deutsche Bank to block them from complying with congressional subpoenas seeking his records.
