California is taking Donald Trump to court for breaking the law to put polluter profits before American lives

“With the unlawful rescission of the Endangerment Finding, President Trump and his EPA have abandoned their most important mission: protecting the health and welfare of the American people. The science doesn’t lie: Climate change and GHG emissions are harming public health and causing devastating and ever-worsening disasters. Our communities have felt the impact of destructive wildfires, watched families run from burning homes, inhaling toxic fumes, and we’ve seen entire communities wash away in severe floods. The President can’t keep his head in the sand — climate change is real and decades of settled science warned us this was coming,” said

BELFAST — Switzerland is deliberating over whether to cancel a long-delayed Patriot air defense system order, while saying that it will extend a payment freeze for the in-demand platform unless the US communicates a firm timeline for deliveries — the latest development in a high-dollar diplomatic spat between the two countries. “We’ve informed them [the Swiss Federal Council] about this [Patriot termination] option today and we’re also making this option public today,” Switzerland’s defense minister Martin Pfister said at a press conference, according to an official translation. “We are still assuming today that we will receive these systems; we don’t

‘Quiet, piggy’: As Trump berates female reporters, what’s the breaking point?

Not smart enough. A terrible person. Obnoxious. These are just some of the more recent insults U.S. President Donald Trump has publicly hurled at female reporters in response to their questions. But calling Bloomberg’s Catherine Lucey “piggy” on Air Force One, and then berating ABC News White House correspondent Mary Bruce a few days later, has raised questions about just how much journalists are expected to tolerate as they do their jobs. As some industry experts have pointed out, the issue goes well beyond these two incidents, or even Trump, who has a history of both attacking the press and

‘We were ready’: Democratic attorneys general lead fight to stop Trump | US politics

Four Democratic attorneys general, sitting in their offices from New York to California with state flags and books behind them, announced a new lawsuit on Thursday, alleging the president, yet again, had broken the law by attempting to create new tariffs without congressional approval. It’s a now familiar scene for the group of top law-enforcement officials who have collectively filed more than 50 lawsuits against the Trump administration, serving as a counterweight to the president’s quest to expand his power and circumvent the constitution. They’ve protected billions of dollars for their states. They’ve stopped or stalled policies that would have
