Hi there,

In the six months since President Trump’s inauguration, we have seen unprecedented attacks on the press. Instead of pushing back, corporate owners of commercial networks are caving in. Because we do not accept any corporate or government funding, we rely on audience members like you to sustain our work. I hope you will donate today to support our independent journalism.Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations today will be TRIPLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Badlands National Park Goes Rogue, Tweeting Facts About Climate Change

HeadlineJan 25, 2017

As the news of the EPA media blackout broke Tuesday, the Twitter account for the Badlands National Park in South Dakota, part of the U.S. National Park Service, went rogue, publishing a series of tweets about climate change, including one that read, “Today, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is higher than at any time in the last 650,000 years. #Climate.” The tweets were later deleted. Trump has also signed an executive order imposing a sweeping hiring freeze for all federal agencies, except for military and national security.
