NOTUS is thrilled to announce veteran journalist @deirdrekwalsh will serve as a senior editor managing NOTUS’ Capitol Hill team beginning in January 2026.

Until recently, the EPA had a pretty legendary group of scientists using cutting-edge computer science to speed up chemical toxicity research. This team helped with East Palestine, w/ GenX, etc. I found that 16 of them have now left for a private lab.

Oil & gas firms, energy industry orgs, & even a Republican Senator are breaking w/ the Trump admin over its latest climate rollback, urging the EPA to keep its Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program. Will the calls from the fossil fuel industry be enough? https://t.co/Fn9x70meih

The Trump admin is continuing to cut down Biden's climate legacy: This time by removing the major clean energy offices in the Department of Energy. https://t.co/BcQBx4ADbH

SCOOP: Mario Díaz-Balart, a top House GOP appropriator, tried to add guardrails against pocket rescissions to an approps bill — something Dems have been wanting for months But then Russ Vought intervened, and Díaz-Balart quietly got rid of the provision https://t.co/Ibopn66Azs

i'm the millionth person to say this but my experience of riding the metro from like 2021/2022 to now is night and day, you kind of don't realize how much faith you've lost in public services until they legitimately improve right before your eyes

Read my latest on a little-noticed $112 million verdict a jury out of NY awarded last week to 674 immigrants that could have nationwide implications for local police working with ICE. https://t.co/IPPhUrkyAy

NOTUS is proud to announce that two of its reporters have won a Silver Award in Science Reporting from the American Association for the Advancement of Science. @emilyykennard and @MargaretManto — both of whom are Allbritton Journalism Institute fellows — received this

Is cloud seeding part of a weather control conspiracy? A MAHA-coded sustainable agriculture strategy? Or -- as Utah Republicans seem to think -- could it really just be about bringing water to an arid state? New from me and @addysbaird: https://t.co/auTJTQNjEP

Let me repeat this - The House has been in session for just 20 days over nearly 5 months @jamiedupree

Steve Pearce, who pushed 2020 election conspiracy theories and fought public lands protections, is Trump’s new pick to manage hundreds of millions of acres of federal land. He’s also 78 years old. https://t.co/5ZZwg3pNwh

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday that the Trump administration will pay out SNAP benefits as ordered by court — even though the president posted hours before that the funds “will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up government, which they

UPDATE: Karoline Leavitt said that USDA will in fact be paying out the partial SNAP payments in compliance with the court. Trump "does not want to have to tap into this fund in the future, and that’s what he was referring to in his true social post," she said.

Baffling twist: Trump just said that SNAP "will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up government, which they can easily do, and not before!" Just one hour earlier, USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins said SNAP guidance has been sent to states. https://t.co/xMaMPUFEjy

@atrupar Probably a really good time to read this @NOTUSreports story from @taylorgiorno_ and @JasJWright

The Trump administration is insisting to me that it paused $11 billion worth of infrastructure projects in blue states. So I went and asked the states about it. None of them have received any notice of anything. It's a mystery! Happy Halloween!

As the government shutdown drags into its fourth week, states are running out of funds used to help low-income Americans cover their energy bills. https://t.co/Blk3RdB6Tj

We’re running out of money to help the poorest Americans keep the lights on and the heat running If the shutdown doesn’t end soon, millions of Americans may see their electricity turned off or fuel deliveries stopped for the coldest winter months https://t.co/7FcWkUJnbq
