| | | WHAT WE'RE WATCHING | | 🔪 Teen murder suspect receives thousands in donations. Karmelo Anthony, the 17-year-old accused of stabbing Texas track star Austin Metcalf to death, was released after his bond was reduced, and his supporters donated $415,000 to his family on GiveSendGo. Anthony is being charged with first-degree murder, while his attorney claimed the action was taken in self-defense. The case has exploded into a racial narrative as the truth over self-defense claims is still being explored. | 🔎 Pentagon adviser removed in leak investigation. Dan Caldwell, a top adviser to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, was escorted from the Pentagon and placed on administrative leave for "an unauthorized disclosure of national security information involving sensitive communications." The Marine Corps veteran was recently identified by Hegseth as a top point of contact for high-level military action. This comes as the Trump administration aggressively pursues leaks within the defense establishment. | ⚖️ Judge blocks Trump from ending migrant parole program. A federal judge ruled that the Trump administration cannot terminate Biden's CHNV immigration program without case-by-case reviews for its 500,000+ recipients from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. Judge Indira Talwani, an Obama appointee, claimed the administration hadn't considered humanitarian factors. The administration is facing endless attempts from lower judges to halt and delay their immigration agenda. | 🐕 GOP lawmakers target torturous animal research in China. Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) introduced legislation to ban taxpayer funding for animal research in labs controlled by China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia. The Wuhan lab and EcoHealth have since lost US funding, but the NIH still faces backlash for funding "horrific and barbaric experiments" on animals, as described by GOP lawmakers. Despite previous funding cuts to the Wuhan lab, approximately 20 Chinese institutions remain eligible for US research dollars. |

| | | | THE MAIN STORY | Trump bulldozes climate hysteria | | WHAT'S HAPPENING_ | President Donald Trump is taking a wrecking ball to the climate change industry. Since taking office, the administration has frozen research grants, dismantled federal climate programs, cut off funding to elite universities that research climate issues, and launched legal challenges against state-level climate laws. At the same time, Trump ordered a rollback of federal environmental regulations and influenced billionaire donors like Jeff Bezos to stop funding what the White House now calls "climate alarmism." | Trump's goal? End the weaponization of climate science, restore American energy, and stop public institutions from using taxpayer dollars to push an ideologically driven environmental panic. | | _THE FACTS_ | Upon taking office in January, President Trump re-exited the Paris Agreement and reopened 625 million acres for oil and gas drilling. Billionaire Jeff Bezos subsequently pulled funding from a key group enforcing Paris Agreement climate targets. Offshore wind projects are on hold as the White House reconsiders their environmental and economic impacts. The White House froze nearly $4 million in climate research grants to Princeton, citing its role in promoting "implausible" climate threats and fostering fear. They also pulled the plug on the US Global Change Research Program, the agency behind the government's top climate report. Under Biden, the government outsourced the production of the report to ICF International, an international consulting company, to the tune of $34 million. An executive order signed by President Trump empowers the Justice Department to challenge state climate laws and carbon tax schemes that "weaken national security and energy dominance." The Trump administration is proposing to slash the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) budget by 27 percent, including a 74 percent cut to its Oceanic and Atmospheric Research Office. The plan would eliminate all funding for climate, ocean, and regional data labs while preserving only tornado and basic weather research.
