Trump admitted he blocked energy funding to punish blue states he lost in 2024, including $586 million for Illinois.
Courts ruled it illegal. He's still blocking the money.
Bipartisan permitting reform won't work if Trump ignores the law. He must reinstate the grants first.

Trump’s cuts have stripped NOAA of more than 3,000 staff since January 2025, with hundreds of weather forecasting jobs still vacant.
Now a potentially historic El Niño threatens extreme weather this winter, with the US less prepared to forecast and respond. Cutting weather warnings, climate research and public safety to save money. People’s lives are at stake.

Before the 2008 crash, Wall Street hid massive financial risks using accounting tricks.
Now Big Tech appears to be following the same playbook.
Americans and our entire economy are at risk because Trump’s regulators are choosing to look the other way.

This is just awful. The Trump Administration is rolling back protections that kept bears and park visitors safe to make it easier for trophy hunters to kill wildlife.

Trump has influenced not just what the Republican Party does but what they actually believe is acceptable.
“We need to understand how far they have shifted their thinking,” Marc Elias says, “and we need to adjust our tactics accordingly.”
