JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks.
A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it

In a little-noticed webpage update, the Environmental Protection Agency has announced a plan to decommission its online web archive at the end of the year, a move that would wipe tens of thousands of publicly available environmental resources from the web.
JUST POSTED: A Russian energy giant has secretly moved to acquire a position in a massive Alaska gas project. Its part of talks between Witkoff/Kushner & Putin. But CEO of US company resigns after learning of Russian money in the project. A wowzer of a story.

Steve Witkoff, the United States’ special envoy, praised Russian ruler Vladimir Putin during face-to-face talks in St. Petersburg, calling him “a humanitarian.”
It is beyond me how anyone, let alone a Catholic, can in good conscience continue to support Trump. His racist, vile and disgusting remarks are far removed from what a Christian is called to be. There are no more excuses that can be made to espouse such behavior.

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.
Pope at Inter-religious Meeting in Metz: “Indeed, to invoke God’s name in order to justify violence or oppression is to profane that name. Nothing that disfigures human dignity can claim to be inspired by God. Religious discourse must constantly call for the disarmament of hearts and words.”
45 million acres of roadless national forest. Trump wants bulldozers and logging trucks on all of it. Once a road goes in, the wild is gone for good. Tell Congress to stop him: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...
NEW: 8 sailors aboard the Lincoln attempted suicide per a letter from the Secretary of the Navy to Congress. That is “incredibly high”. www.cnn.com/2026/09/23/p...
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has stopped publicly revealing where it is holding most detainees who are subject to final deportation orders, in a move that has made it harder for lawyers and relatives to find them.
Trump is a toxic waste dump of the worst of human character. His greed, corruption, ego, stupidity, arrogance, cruelty, prejudice, and active contempt for virtue, the law and people are manifest daily in ways that are destroying our institutions and our country. And he is getting worse daily.
I don’t believe the U.S. taxpayer should continue to arm Netanyahu’s government with deadly military equipment.
I believe Netanyahu is a war criminal and that his government has committed genocide in Gaza.
This doesn't make me antisemitic. (I’m Jewish, by the way.)
Today is pub day for my book, "HOW RUSSIA WON: Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and the Fight for America." Please watch this video and pass it on. It's time to reclaim the Trump-Russia narrative and recognize Putin is continuing his years-long war on America and Trump is complicit.

25 years ago, terrorists killed nearly 3,000 people, including 2,753 New Yorkers.
As we remember that terrible day, let us also remember the first responders, office workers and strangers who ran toward danger to help each other.

Reporter: Family members of service members are concerned about conditions on the LIncoln.
Trump: No they’re not.
Reporter: Has the deployment gone on too long?
Trump: No. Not nearly long enough.
"It’s not just the USS Lincoln that should return home. All the troops deployed to Trump’s misbegotten and mismanaged war should return. And their commanders and nominal “leaders”—from Trump to Pete Hegseth to Daryl Caudle to Hung Cao—should be held accountable."

These sailors are being put through this for a war that is unauthorized by Congress and for which funds haven’t been appropriated by Congress, a war that is now utterly pointless and which Trump simply doesn’t have the courage to end.
Disgraceful.

I had a professor who once said the secret to understanding how everything works is to "follow the money." American politics today...and the age of corruption in which we live...demonstrates how right he was. My latest. davidrothkopf.substack.com/p/follow-the...
I can’t say this enough but Katie Phang is amazing and inspiring. She refuses to give up on the fight to get the fully unredacted Epstein Files released. This world needs many many more journalists like her.
Lotta folks talking about Cassidy's cowardice in supporting Blanche. It's not cowardice. It's complicity. He knows it's a vote for corruption, obstruction of justice, the Epstein cover-up, protection of Trump cronies, attacks on Trump adversaries. He's choosing those things. As he almost always has.
Contrary to what you will hear from the idiot in the White House, America does *not* have a communist problem. It has a fascist problem. And it starts with him.
