WASHINGTON - The U.S. Senate on Wednesday voted 56-42 to confirm former Republican Congressman Lee Zeldin to lead the Environmental Protection Agency, tasked with rolling back climate rules from former President Joe Biden that were aimed at slashing emissions from vehicles, power plants and factories. President Donald Trump picked Zeldin, 44, to lead EPA's deregulation efforts, lifting hurdles on oil and gas drilling and reversing course on the Biden administration's emissions rules aimed at spurring more electric vehicle use. Three Democrats voted to back the former New York representative, Arizona Senators Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego, as well as Pennsylvania Senator

DENVER, Co. — The city of Denver is preparing for what some have said could be mass deportations of undocumented immigrants. Now, federal prosecutors say they will investigate anyone who stands in the way of beefed-up enforcement of immigration laws. Mayor Mike Johnston said in a statement among other things, Denver will cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in cases of violent criminals. The city will also notify ICE of a pending release if the federal agency requests that notification. “The whole state is bound by our state law in this, which is pretty consistent in some of these

If you have to be somewhere you don’t want to be — like, say, the inauguration of Donald Trump — you may as well make it known you’re not down with the program. At least, that’s what it seems Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson did. Yesterday, during the inauguration, while Mark Zuckerberg was yucking it up with Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez and Elon Musk simply could not hold himself back from throwing a thumbs-up to the camera, Justice Jackson sat quietly. With her judicial robes, she wore a collar and a pair of earrings made up of cowrie

‘Tis the season to be…..coffee badging?
