LZ Granderson: Half our governments have launched a war on a quarter million years of biology in two weeks .

He says the government not only facilitates parents abusing their children but actively participates in the abuse itself.

Granderson says the U.S. is the result of grooming-obsessed LGBT activists seeking to normalize that which is not normal.

In the last 20 years , we’ve decided that the definition of marriage as something between one man and one woman is no longer valid.

We’re seeing governments embrace mental illness on an epic scale and use their police powers to help parents butcher their children.

Donald Trump should threaten to withhold money going to any state that supports this education, transportation, Medicare , Social Security , and every single dollar if the state doesn’t outlaw it.

Senate Republicans are moving to terminate a Biden -era rule that effectively allows California to impose a national electric vehicle ( EV ) mandate.

The Biden Environmental Protection Agency signed off on California ’s “ Advanced Clean Cars II ” — which would ban the sale of gas-powered vehicles in the state and 11 others by 2035 — just weeks before the Trump administration took control in Washington .

Republican West Virginia Sen. Shelley Moore Capito unveiled a resolution Friday afternoon to repeal that vehicle emissions rule despite an adverse ruling from a congressional watchdog and a nonpartisan Senate official arguing the EPA waiver was not subject to the Congressional Review Act .

Senate parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough ruled Friday that California ’s vehicle emission waivers are not “rules” and not subject to the CRA process.

Senate Republicans have introduced the CRA resolutions to “preserve all options” Opponents of the California rules are optimistic Senate Republicans will ultimately achieve a full repeal of the de facto EV mandate.

The dire wolf is a bit of a Late Pleistocene celebrity thanks to its role in the “ Game of Thrones ” series as a symbol of the Stark family.

John Sutter : It's a stunning act of so-called de-extinction, but we should have time for the impulse to bring it back.

He says it's not an assured success; wooly mammoths, dodo, Tasmanian tiger and wooly mammoth could also be revived.

Colossal Biosciences has produced three dire wolf pups using genetic editing and cloning.

The pups are named Romulus and Remus , after the founders of Rome who were raised by wolves.

Dire wolves went extinct around 12,000 years ago , at the end of the last ice age .

About 700 Forest Service employees terminated in mid-February's “ Valentine’s Day massacre” are red-card-carrying staffers.

These workers hold other full-time jobs in the agency, but they’ve been trained to aid firefighting crews.

They also assist with prescribed burns, which reduce flammable vegetation and prevent bigger fires, but the burns can only move forward if there are a certain number of staff available.

Cuts to the Forest Service's legal department will also curb its ability to care for the nation’s forests and fight wildfires, an employee told ProPublica .

Many permanent employees, including many firefighters, work on a seasonal basis and are placed on an unpaid status for several months each year when there is less work.

Last year marked a historic and deeply troubling threshold: for the first time, global temperatures exceeded 1.5C above pre-industrial levels.

The consequences rising sea levels, extreme weather and devastating loss of biodiversity are no longer projections for the distant future.

Scientists agree we need to bring greenhouse gas levels down to below 350 parts per million by the end of this century .

The U.S. Global Change Research Program produces the National Climate Assessment every four years .

The report is considered the “crown jewel” of climate research.

It is the scientific bedrock for directing policy at all levels of government towards liberal climate change goals.

A climate scientist who has worked on the report in the past says ICF runs the show.

ICF takes in far more in government contracts than its active $34 million from NASA .

An analysis of federal spending data found that the consulting firm rakes in hundreds of millions of dollars each year through federal contracts.

The consulting firm is likely aware that the scope of its government work could be slashed during Trump 's term.

David Rothkopf : A dog-eat-dog world order might leave everyone worse off.

He says it's better to be the predator than the prey, but there's a caveat to this logic.

Ancient empires like Rome and dynasties like in China expanded to the limits of the known world.

RothkOPf: The current leader of the United States has benefitted the great majority of those involved.

The deal has already been made, though of course there is room to redefine its terms. In treating the liberal international order as a dog-eat-dog world, the risk is that everyone will end up hungry, less safe, and poorer..

Republicans are undoing years of climate progress under the second Trump administration using an unlikely progressive tool: antitrust law.

Their antitrust strategy is to sue companies that work together on green initiatives, alleging they are colluding in violation of the antitrust laws.

Republicans assert that agreements among businesses to promote environmental goals, known as Environmental, Social , and Governance goals, violate the Sherman Act .

Republicans have already succeeded in fracturing many of the world’s leading climate alliances.

GOP antitrust theory that climate pacts constitute anticompetitive collusion has sparked fierce debate among antitrust experts.

Experts disagree about whether shared commitments to climate goals violate the antitrust laws.

Republicans have already scored a major victory by decimating the private-sector coalitions that were once seen as a backstop for deregulatory efforts.
