Imagine an underwater Grand Canyon where corals have been growing since before the United States was founded. đ
Plunged in total darkness. Untouched. Protected.
Until one signature changed everything.
On February 6, 2026, that's exactly what happened.
The Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument is bigger than Yellowstone.
Its submarine canyons drop into depths we're still mapping. There are sea creatures here science hasn't even named yet.
Itâs underwater mountains â millions of years old, rise from the ocean floor, drawing sperm whales and endangered right whales from miles away.
The cold-water corals living here? Some have been growing for over a thousand years. A trawl net destroys them in seconds. They don't grow back in our lifetimes.
The monument was created in 2016 for one reason â to keep this ecosystem off limits from exactly this kind of destruction.
It worked. Until February.
One person. One signature. Zero public input. No congressional vote. No comment period. Just a proclamation â and a thousand-year-old ecosystem lost its protection overnight.
Proclamation 11009 â "Unleashing American Commercial Fishing in the Atlantic"â erased the ban overnight. Trawl gear, dredges, otter nets. Now permitted inside monument boundaries.
And here's the part that should make you angry â this administration tried this exact move in 2020. Conservation groups sued. They won. Biden restored protections.
Now we're back here.
How many more monuments have to lose their protections before Congress does something? đ

Let's walk through what actually happened here, in order.
DOGE cut the USAID program specifically designed to prevent screwworm from crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. DOGE cut USDA's animal disease control and prevention funding. That funding had supported more than 180 outbreak investigations in 22 countries and capacity-building in more than 160 laboratories. The screwworm monitoring and response program that watched the border for exactly this parasite - cut.
Then screwworm showed up in Texas cattle. Texas Governor Greg Abbott declared a disaster for Zavala and Uvalde counties this week.
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins went on CNBC this morning and blamed the Biden administration, 17 months out of office.
Her specific words: "obviously not much had been done to push back."
The program that was supposed to push back existed. DOGE eliminated it in March 2025. Rollins has been Agriculture Secretary since February 13, 2025. The cuts happened on her watch.
Beef prices are already high. Ranchers in south Texas are now dealing with a flesh-eating parasite that was eradicated in this country in the 1960s - eradicated, specifically, using the sterile fly program her department defunded.
The flies existed. The program existed. The budget existed.
Until it didn't.
Trump's agriculture secretary laid the blame for the outbreak on the Biden administration, despite it being more than 17 months since Biden's term ended.

đ¨ Breaking news: 3 mule deer have been confirmed crossing California's first-ever wildlife overpass.
The deer, captured on trail camera in late May, didn't wait for the official ribbon-cutting. The $20 million wildlife overpass in Siskiyou County, designed to reduce the staggering number of deer and elk killed on Route 97, was apparently usable enough. The bridge will officially open in fall.
We reached out to the 3 mule deer for comment but have not yet received a response.
Wildlife collisions cost the US about $8 billion a year in vehicle damage, injuries, and human deaths. A well-placed crossing pays for itself in reduced accidents within a decade.
A study of 89 wildlife crossings across North America, Europe, and Australia found they reduced wildlife mortality by up to 90% in well-designed projects.
Fencing is doing half the work. A crossing without funnel fencing leading animals toward it is dramatically less effective. The California project includes 3 miles of 8-foot fencing along Route 97.
California has about 100 wildlife crossings planned over the next decade. This one is the first. The Liberty Canyon overpass over the 101 in LA (currently the largest in the world by area) is set to open in 2026.

WTF timeline are we on. Someone called me the MAGA whisperer and Iâll gladly take the title. Left, right, D or R we all want the same things. Weâre being divided on purpose by the Epstein Elite Oligarch class because as long as weâre at each otherâs throats, they get fat and rich off of our misery. The second we figure out we agree on more than we disagree, theyâre done. Love your neighbor. Be yourself. Radical honesty. No fucks given, no fucks taken. Everything else is just noise.

There is no world in which this is okay. Â
Â
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito did not recuse himself from cases involving Trumpâs Treasury Department while his own son was secretly working there as a political appointee and attorney.Â
Â
His son's employment was hidden so thoroughly that his name appears nowhere on the Treasury Department website, he has no public resume, and his bar listings are outdated.Â
Â
If Alito had recused himself, the secret would have come out. He didnât recuse himself.Â
Â
This is a clear conflict of interest, and the American people deserved to know about it.Â
Â
The federal recusal standard is clear: a justice must step aside in any case where there is a reasonable basis to question whether he or she can be impartial. A justice ruling on cases involving the department where his son works fails that test. The Treasury Department sits at the center of some of the biggest legal fights of this administration, and challenges to Trumpâs $1.776 billion January 6 slush fund could be headed to the Court next.Â
Â
The Supreme Court is the only court in America with no binding code of conduct. That is completely unacceptable, and it has to change NOW.Â
Â
Congress controls the Power of the Purse, and therefore the Courtâs funding. If the Court will not adopt a binding code of conduct with real recusal review on their own, I support withholding their funding until they do.Â

A defining moment for the country.
May 29
Read this piece by a former federal prosecutor. He lays out exactly how rotten Trumpâs settlement with himself really is.
Start with the basic structure, because once you see it you cannot unsee it.
Trump sued the IRS for $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns. The judge signaled the case could not move forward, because a president cannot sue the government he runs.
So Trump dropped it.
The judge in her dismissal order noted there was no settlement of record at all.
Then his own Justice Department, run by his former personal lawyer, Todd Blanche, conjured one anyway.
They created a $1.776 billion fund Trump controls, to pay people who claim they were targeted by the government. That includes pardoned January 6 rioters who attacked police officers.
Here is the part that should end the debate. In an addendum to the deal, Blanche barred the IRS from auditing Trump or affiliated individuals. Forbes calculated that immunity could save the Trumps more than $600 million. The man under investigation wrote himself a release from the investigation.
This is the abuse of public office for private gain. It is the very definition of corruption. And as the author warns, the courts may never touch it, because the only people harmed are the American people, and they may lack standing to sue.
Which means it falls to Congress to act.
And we must.

BREAKING: 35 former federal judges, bipartisan, just asked the court to reopen Trumpâs sham lawsuit against the IRS and investigate whether the so-called âsettlementâ was a fraud on the court.
Here is what happened.
Trump sued his own IRS in January demanding $10 billion. The judge started asking hard questions, because the President was literally on both sides of the case.
Two days before briefs were due, Trump yanked the suit.
Hours later, a âsettlementâ magically appeared: a $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund to pay off his allies, including January 6 insurrectionists, plus blanket immunity from past IRS investigations for him, his sons, and his businesses.
The former judges told the court the deal âraises profound questions about the partiesâ candor toward the court and manipulation of the judicial system.â
Translation: this looks like fraud.
Senate Republicans are already balking. Capitol Police officers injured on January 6th are suing. The walls are closing in.
Kill the slush fund.
Claw back every dollar.
And if the court finds fraud, hold every person who signed that agreement accountable.

DOGE rifled through your Social Security data, your tax records, and your most sensitive personal information. All in the name of transparency, of course.
And now, in that same spirit of transparency, the Trump Administration is blocking the government's own watchdog from finding out what they did with it.
The only reason theyâre blocking the investigation is because they're afraid of what it would find.

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the DHS Inspector General just opened an audit into a $38 billion warehouse-to-detention scheme that Kristi Noem and her top adviser Corey Lewandowski rammed through.
ICE bought 11 vacant warehouses in a matter of months, paying 11 to 13 percent above market value.
The properties werenât even zoned for detention. No working plumbing for thousands of detainees. But Noem and Lewandowski pressured ICE to open them by yearâs end anyway.
The result? At least $1 billion already spent on nine facilities. Nearly 50 contractors paid $1.7 billion since Trump took office.
Companies with zero immigration detention experience suddenly winning massive federal contracts.
One firm that didnât even exist until June 2024 got a $6 million DHS contract this January.
Noem is gone.
Lewandowski is gone.
But the bill is still landing on the taxpayer, and the IG investigation is just getting started.
Accountability cannot end when the perpetrators walk out the door.
Every contract needs scrutiny.
Every dollar needs to be traced.
Every official who steered money to inexperienced contractors needs to answer under oath.

This is rotten to the core.
Howard Lutnick, the Commerce Secretary, cut a $5 million check to the Congressional Leadership Fund on April 1, just weeks after agreeing to testify before the House Oversight Committee about his past ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
That testimony happened on May 6. The super PAC he wrote that check to is the main vehicle backing House Republicans and Speaker Mike Johnson, the very people deciding how hard to press him.
Lawmakers were reportedly weighing a subpoena before Lutnick agreed to show up voluntarily.
His name appears in more than 250 Epstein-related records.
He long claimed he hadnât seen Epstein after 2005, but records show he visited Epsteinâs private island in 2012 with his family. He called the encounters âmeaningless and inconsequential.â
A $5 million donation from a sitting cabinet secretary to the party running the investigation into him is not a coincidence. It is not normal. It is not how a healthy democracy works.
If a Democratic cabinet official did this, every Republican in Washington would be screaming for hearings, indictments, and resignations.
The silence tells you everything.
Release the Epstein files. All of them.
The American people deserve to know who protected this monster, who profited from his network, and who is paying to make the questions go away. mediaite.com/media/news/howaâŚ

So let me get this straight: Donald Trump sues his own IRS, and before a judge even sees the case, Trumpâs lawyers and Trumpâs IRS lawyers strike a deal creating a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded settlement fund that Trump himself will overseeâdeciding who deserves compensation for supposedly being âweaponizedâ by the justice system. The agreement also bars the IRS from ever investigating Trump, his businesses, or his family again. Then they tell the court the case was settled before it was even filed, so the judge has no jurisdiction. Corruption on a scale "weâve never seen before!" 4-D level corruption.

Trump bought up to $5 million in NVIDIA stock in February. This week, he flew the NVIDIA CEO to Beijing on Air Force One.
On day one of the trip, his administration approved NVIDIA chip sales to 10 Chinese companies.
NVIDIA shares climbed.
So did the value of his personal stake.
The Constitution gives Congress the duty to expose self-dealing like this and hold the executive branch accountable.
Every Republican who took the same oath I did should be asking themselves why they are not doing it.
