"we observed 70% more website changes in President Trump’s first 100 days in office in 2025 than in 2017. The nature of these federal website changes are bolder than in the previous Trump administration…"
The report Climate of Suppression: Environmental Information Under the Second Trump Administration examines management of federal websites related to environmental regulation in the first six months of the second Trump administration. In this time, the second Trump administration has significantly altered the federal environmental information landscape. Information about environmental justice and climate change has been rewritten and deleted as part of a broad deregulatory policy agenda that disavows these critical, intersecting issues.
Unbelievable. The U.S. arm of Montreal-based security giant GardaWorld — which holds a federal contract to secure the controversial migrant detention site dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz” — is hiring armed guards for a facility in the same Florida community.
GardaWorld is offering full-time roles through its U.S. subsidiary, GardaWorld Federal Services, which handles U.S. federal contracts and provides armed security, logistics and emergency services across the country.

"Scientists have slammed the US energy secretary, Chris Wright, after he revealed that the Trump administration would 'update' national climate assessment reports published by past governments. One said their 'worst fears' had been confirmed while another senior climate scientist said the revisions were 'exactly what Joseph Stalin did', referring to the Russian dictator’s use of his power to doctor historical records."

The proposal would involve sending Israeli ground troops into the remaining territory and further displacement of starving Palestinians. Plus, Trump is compared to Stalin over revision of historical climate reports
