1 day ago | theintercept.com | Akela Lacy

In a statement last month on its first 100 days under President Donald Trump, the Environmental Protection Agency celebrated 100 achievements. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said the agency had taken “significant actions” to protect public health and the environment while working “to Power the Great American Comeback.” The agency said it was also working to fulfill Trump’s promises to revitalize the auto industry, “restore the rule of law,” and give decision-making power back to the states.

Americans know that the U.S. government and defense industry exports huge amounts of military goods to Israel — but they may not be aware that in some cases these shipments travel beside them.

Meetings between President Donald Trump and foreign leaders can be tense or bruising affairs. But when Trump invited Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele to the White House in April, it was all smiles as they joked about mass incarceration. “Sometimes they say that we imprisoned thousands — I like to say that we actually liberated millions,” Bukele told reporters, referring to his so-called war on gangs in El Salvador. Trump responded glowingly to Bukele’s remarks. “Who gave him that line?” he said.
Private Prison CEO on ICE Contracts: We’re a Better Deal Than El Salvador’s CECOT

6 days ago | theintercept.com | Matt Sledge

Cryptocurrency legislation once seemed to be the rare issue that could draw bipartisan support in Donald Trump’s Washington, thanks to the industry’s prolific donations on both sides of the aisle. Then Trump and his family attempted to monetize the presidency through a meme coin and a $2 billion crypto deal involving an Abu Dhabi-backed venture firm. Democrats were, suddenly, outraged. Some centrist party members who had treated cryptocurrency with deference even began to walk away.

As a survivor of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, it breaks me to watch my people struggle to find something to fill their stomachs. Israel’s deliberate policy of starvation continues to tighten its grip on the enclave. Humanitarian organizations have sounded the alarm, warning that Gaza is on the verge of full-scale famine.
