/

My red carpet interview with Rep. Sarah McBride (D-Del.) at the Saturday premiere of a new documentary on her history-making election as the first openly transgender member of Congress was interrupted by an adoring passerby. “Sarah, I love you!” the man shouted. “I’m a donor and I don’t even live in the district!” (“Thank you […]

Trump’s EPA Plans to Claim US Power Sector Emissions Are Insignificant. It’s absurd.

/

This story was originally published by the Guardian and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Donald Trump’s administration is set to claim planet-heating pollution spewing from US power plants is so globally insignificant it should be spared any sort of climate regulation.

Will Trump Force America to Break Up?

/

I live in Vermont, 268 miles from Canada’s capital of Ottawa and 487 miles from Washington, DC, so an interesting thought experiment is: Why do I identify with the United States?
