Pennsylvania Abandons Regional Carbon-Trading Market The worsening power bill crisis across the Mid-Atlantic region, a combination of nation-killing climate change policies colliding with surging load growth from data centers, has forced Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro to sign legislation allowing the state to abandon the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI). The Pennsylvania legislature ended the state's RGGI participation in the new state budget, which also cut funding tied to the climate initiative, effectively reversing the state's 2019 entry under former Governor Tom Wolf. It's straightforward: climate taxes = higher power bills.  Independent reports (from grid operator PJM and state regulators) have warned RGGI would: pressure to close gas and coal plants early loss of grid resilience higher risk of capacity shortages Given surging load growth from data centers, RGGI was a disaster waiting to happen that would've stripped the grid of spare capacity, destabilized regional power supply, and effectively paralyzed the state into a power crisis, as its neighbors just south, in Maryland, have done through failed globalist climate crisis policies.

U.S. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum announced the decision Thursday that paves the way for future lease sales within the refuge's 1.5 million-acre ( 631,309 hectare) coastal plain, an area that's considered sacred by the Indigenous Gwich'in. The plan fulfills pledges made by President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans to reopen this portion of the refuge to possible development. Trump's bill of tax breaks and spending cuts, passed during the summer, called for at least four lease sales within the refuge over a 10-year period. A federal judge in March said the Biden administration lacked authority to cancel the leases, which were held by a state corporation that was the major bidder in the first-ever lease sale for the refuge held at the end of Trump's first term.   Source: newsmax.com https://twitter.

Hurricane Melissa, the strongest storm to hit the Caribbean in modern times, left a wake of destruction in Jamaica, Cuba and Haiti that will take years to recover from. A Jamaican climate physics professor describes the toll of this climate catastrophe, and a meteorologist joins us to explain how the storm grew so ferocious in the blink of a hurricane's eye.   Also, Gwich'in Alaska Natives, which consider the land of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge sacred and local Porcupine Caribou as relatives, are expressing alarm at how renewed prospects of drilling in this fragile environment could upend their world.  And the Pacific Northwest of the US harbored a serial killer hotspot of sorts in the 1970s, associated with the neurotoxin lead. Seattle-born author Caroline Fraser explores this link in her book Murderland: Crime and Bloodlust in the Time of Serial Killers. She discusses how dangerously high lead exposure from smelters and gasoline may have led to the increase of violence and murders in the region. ---  Federal funding for public radio has ended.

This week on Grifty, we are heading north… way north. where climate change, government chaos, and corporate greed have collided at once. Alaska is in free fall. A typhoon has slammed the western coast, wiping out villages and food stores that took generations to build. The federal government is shut down, freezing aid and cutting off SNAP benefits for tens of thousands. While people are trying to keep their families fed, the Trump administration is approving new oil leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. This is not about the weather. It is about what happens when a government built on extraction leaves its people to fend for themselves. It is about sovereignty, survival, and the politics of pretending the climate crisis is still up for debate. We are joined by Dr. Brian Heaslet, a lifelong Alaskan who knows what it takes to keep food and supplies moving across the most isolated parts of the state. Also joining is our own Sierra Montoya, bringing her sharp Alaskan insight and humor to unpack what life in the Last Frontier really looks like when disaster meets politics.

Across the United States, 640 million acres of public land belong to all of us — rivers that still run wild, deep canyons, mountain ranges, plains, and deserts. Places where the wild things live. Places we can still visit, explore, and trust that it will be there for generations or an eon. But this year, the push to sell or transfer those lands has surfaced — sometimes openly, sometimes in quieter, less obvious ways. Why is this happening? Who's behind it? And how do we, as citizens, stand up in simple, effective ways to keep public lands public? Our guest is Land Tawney, from American Hunters & Anglers — a man who comes from a long line of land conservationists. He brings both a historical lens and a practical action plan for keeping these 640 million acres wild, free, and truly ours. GUESTAmerican Hunters and Anglers@americanhuntersanglersLand TawneyMinority Outdoor Alliance@minorityoutdooralliance RESOURCES202-224-3121Switchboard US Capital (call, tell them your zip code, and that you want to speak with your Rep and/or Sen…you might have to call 3 times to get your Rep and both of your Senators) Ambler RoadRoadless Rule, USFSAttempts to sell public landsPREVIOUS RIVER RADIUS EPISODESAre Public Lands 4 $ale?The Gila: River, Place, Family(Sen Martin Heinrich)ELECTED OFFICIALS & PUBLIC LANDSUS Senator Martin Heinrich, New Mexico@senatormartinheinrichUS Representative Gabe Vasquez, New Mexico@repgabevasquezUS Representative Betty McCollum, Minnesota@repbettymccollumUS Representative Ryan Zinke, Montana@repryanzinkeUS Senator Steve Daines, MontanaUS Senator Ron Wyden, Oregon@ronwydenUS Senator Jeff Merkley, Oregon@senjeffmerkleyUS Senator John Hickenlooper, Colorado@senatorhickUS Senator Susan Collins, Maine@sensusancollinsUS Representative Brian Fitzpatrick, Pennsylvania@repbrianfitzUS Senator John Thune, South Dakota SPONSORSDenver Area Nissan Dealers@nissanusaBuddy Boy Adventure Waste Kit@buddyboyusa THE RIVER RADIUSWebsiteRunoff signup (episode newsletter)InstagramFacebookApple PodcastSpotifyLink Tree

Public lands are one of the few unifiers for a huge number of Americans — but they're currently under attack.On this episode, Luke Koppa talks with Blister reviewer and conservation advocate, Paul Forward, about these developments and why anyone who enjoys the outdoors should be concerned about some recent legislation. We cover several worrying provisions in the U.S. Budget Reconciliation bill; how the outdoor community helped get some of the worst additions removed from the current version; and why there's still a need for all of us to take action to ensure that our public lands are responsibly managed and utilized in the future.RELATED LINKS:Contact Your SenatorsGet Yourself Covered: BLISTER+Details on the Budget BillSenate Energy & Natural Resources Committee: MembersMore Info on Ambler RoadAnalysis from Outdoor AlliancePublic Land Use Polling DataTOPICS & TIMES:New BLISTER+ Members (2:07)Recent Developments re: Public Lands (4:33)Ambler Road Development (13:18)What's Still In This Bill & the Boundary Waters Mine (18:06)Mandatory Oil, Gas, & Coal Leasing + Lower Royalty Fees (20:30)Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (22:51)Pay-To-Play Environmental Review Changes (28:04)Calling Your Representatives (37:37)Public Lands Are A Bipartisan Issue (41:25)CHECK OUT OUR OTHER PODCASTS:Blister CinematicCRAFTED Bikes & Big IdeasGEAR:30 Hosted on Acast.

The proposal to sell or otherwise dispose of hundreds of thousands of acres of public land in Nevada and Utah was pulled from the US House Reconciliation bill. The guys talk about how it happened, and how Representative Zinke's red line, along with hundreds of thousands of public lands lovers from across the country speaking out, helped pull a rabbit out of a hat. They also discuss what still lies ahead with the Senate. Other topics include: OnX's last minute blunder, and other pieces you might care about that are both in and out of the reconiciliation bill--like Ambler Road(out), the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (in), and tax relief on suppresors (in). Lots covered in this one. 

In this newscast: President Trump last Tuesday issued an executive order to reshape U.S. elections. The order, among other things, mandates absentee and mail-in ballots to be received by Election Day. It also requires proof of citizenship for registering to vote in federal elections. There's some concern that the changes might disenfranchise voters in rural Alaska Native communities; U.S. District Court Judge Sharon Gleason ruled last week that the Biden administration was wrong to cancel oil and gas leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. As it happens, she did exactly what U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan says she never does: decided against environmental groups. Sullivan's recent criticism of the judge caused a stir in the legal community.

Burgum is revoking rules Joe Biden put in place which prevented drilling on certain lands due to climate change. Increasing energy production is going to touch nearly every part of Trump's agenda. It's going to help the economy, increase national security by decreasing our dependence on hostile nations, and make energy more affordable for millions of Americans. This is excellent news. The Washington Free Beacon reported: Trump Admin Reopens Millions of Acres for Oil Drilling in Rollback of Biden Climate Agenda The Trump administration is reopening oil and gas leasing across hundreds of millions of acres of federal lands and waters that were locked up by the Biden administration. In a series of orders Monday evening, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum revoked Biden-era actions that blocked drilling across 625 million acres of federal waters nationwide—an area that is equivalent in size to a third of the continental United States—in the 19-million-acre Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska and in the state's 23-million-acre National Petroleum Reserve.   Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1887147927597932932   last month's seasonal adjustment increased the final number by a whopping 337,000 jobs.

In this episode of the Aptitude Outdoors Podcast, we dive into the lasting impact of Theodore Roosevelt's 1908 speech, "Conservation as a National Duty," and its relevance to today's environmental challenges. Roosevelt's call for federal responsibility and wise resource management was a turning point in the early conservation movement, addressing the unsustainable exploitation of forests, wildlife, and waterways. More than a century later, we find ourselves grappling with many of the same issues, such as deforestation, overfishing, and water scarcity, demonstrating how Roosevelt's message remains timeless in the ongoing battle between resource use and conservation. We explore how the principles Roosevelt championed—federal oversight, public land protection, and the moral responsibility to conserve—are echoed in today's conservation policies. From the Clean Air Act to the Endangered Species Act, the struggle between protecting natural resources and yielding to industrial interests continues. We also touch on the modern debates over public land use, such as the controversial discussions surrounding the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and Bears Ears National Monument, showing how Roosevelt's foresight laid the groundwork for the conservation battles we still face today. In the 21st century, new environmental threats, particularly climate change, have emerged, amplifying the urgency of conservation efforts. While Roosevelt could not have predicted the global impact of industrialization, his belief in the long-term protection of natural resources aligns with today's climate movement. As we navigate the complexities of federal policies, global cooperation, and grassroots movements, we reflect on how Roosevelt's legacy continues to inspire and challenge us in the fight for environmental sustainability.

Ready to tackle the $35 trillion U.S. national debt? Join us as we bring in Kevin O'Leary, renowned Shark Tank investor, to present his ambitious proposal: tapping into the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for oil extraction and channeling the profits towards debt reduction. We dissect his plan, drawing parallels to Norway's sovereign wealth fund, and debate the legislative safeguards necessary to ensure these funds are allocated correctly. With hosts Mark, Andy Hilger, and John Hudson, we navigate the complexities of the U.S. debt clock and its economic ramifications, stressing the urgency for viable solutions and fiscal responsibility.Ever wondered why the stock market's success doesn't seem to benefit everyone? We break down the staggering economic disparities where the top 10% reap most of the benefits, leaving the bottom 50% with barely a sliver of the pie. We challenge the misconception that a booming stock market can offset the national debt, analyzing the economic policies of political candidates and the critical need for spending cuts to combat inflation and safeguard family finances and retirement savings. This chapter underscores the pressing need to reevaluate our economic strategies.Shifting gears, we scrutinize the ways the U.S. government generates revenue and the effects of "printing money" on inflation and interest rates, examining how these policies impact consumer affordability and the housing market. The conversation pivots to the BRICS coalition's efforts to establish an alternative trading system, the historical petrodollar agreement, and current geopolitical tensions. Finally, we tackle the challenges of financial literacy and the importance of staying informed in an era rife with misinformation.

Mokuhanga becomes a part of those who open themselves to its possibilities. It draws you in as an art form, with its seeming simplicity, and guides you on a profound journey of exploration. One of the strengths of mokuhanga as a practice is its ability to harmonize with other artistic and academic endeavors, enriching one's life in many ways.   On this episode of The Unfinished Print, I speak with William Mathie, a teacher and relief printmaker based in Pennsylvania. We discuss Bill's discovery of mokuhanga in the 1980s and how his academic and artistic journey in printmaking evolved, leading him to rediscover mokuhanga later in life. Bill and I delve into his personal mokuhanga teachers, his work on the Pennsylvania Print Symposium in 2006, his printmaking philosophies, his time at the First International Mokuhanga Conference in Awaji and Kyoto, and we also explore his own mokuhanga work, materials, making tools and how he views mokuhanga through an academic lens.   William Mathie - website, Instagram   Guarding The Cheese    The golden age of mokuhanga is generally considered to be during the Edo period (1603-1898), when the art of color woodcut flourished in Japan. Although woodblock printing in Japan has its origins around 700 CE, color woodblock printing began in 1743.   Rudy Pozzati (1925-2021) - was an American Professor Emeritus, painter, and printmaker who traveled extensively through grants early in life. Later, he served as a professor at Indiana University Bloomington from 1956 to 1991. Indiana University is a public research university in Bloomington, Indiana. He worked in various styles of printmaking and studied mokuhanga in Japan in the 1980s.   Man-eating Mares of King Diomedes (2009) one colour lithograph, 24 3/4" x 33 3/4"   The Adachi Institute of Woodblock Prints - is a print studio located in Tōkyō.

He is a fifth generation printmaker, who has demonstrated mokuhanga technique throughout the world. He established the Takenaka Woodblock Printing Company (Takesazado) to help teach and promote mokuhanga.

With its global network, including offices in Japan and 22 overseas locations, the Foundation focuses on Arts and Cultural Exchange, Japanese-Language Education Overseas, and Japanese Studies and Intellectual Exchange. It is funded by a government endowment, annual subsidies, investment revenue, and private donations.   Tuula Moilanen  - is a Finnish mokuhanga printmaker and painter based in Finland. She lived and studied in Kyōto from 1989 to 2012, where she learned her printmaking at Kyōto Seika University and from printmaker Akira Kurosaki (1937–2019). Her work can be found here. Her interview with The Unfinished Print can be found here.

The traditional method is called the kentō registration, where you carve two notches, straight another an "L." There is also a "floating kentō," which is where the notches are cut in a piece of "L" shaped wood and not on the wood where you are cutting your image, hence "floating."

Biden drove up the cost of energy via regulations, executive orders, and other means, causing more reliance on foreign energy. On Biden's first day in office, he canceled the completion of the Keystone XL Pipeline. He suspended oil and gas leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and in New Mexico. Biden's EPA restricted domestic energy production. In March, the Biden administration began blocking new exports of liquid natural gas. “Inflation is really rapidly moving at a level that people have not seen,” Trump said “ A McDonald's meal with a Big Mac burger, a medium beverage, and an order of medium fries costs $18 in some locations, up $10 from 2018 when Donald Trump was president.

In this pivotal episode of "American Potential," host Jeff Crank is joined by Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy and Nagruk Harcharek president of Voice of the Arctic Iñupiat to discuss the substantial federal obstacles hampering oil and gas development in Alaska. They delve into the Biden administration's contentious decision to cancel oil and gas leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, illuminating how these actions not only undermine Alaska's economic framework but also significantly impact the livelihoods and cultural heritage of Native Alaskan communities. Governor Dunleavy outlines the dire economic consequences of such federal overreach, emphasizing the critical dependence of the state's budget and public services on oil revenue.   Nagruk Harcharek presents the perspective of the Arctic Iñupiat, underscoring the indispensable role of resource development in ensuring the prosperity and sustainability of North Slope communities. He critiques the federal government's failure to engage meaningfully with Native Alaskan voices, highlighting a disconnect between the administration's professed commitment to tribal consultation and its policy decisions. The discussion also explores the broader national implications of stifling domestic energy production, including increased reliance on foreign oil and the strategic vulnerabilities it creates.   This episode serves as a clarion call for a reevaluation of federal policies affecting Alaska's oil and gas sector. Through their insightful conversation, Crank, Dunleavy, and Harcharek advocate for a balanced approach that respects Alaska's rights, promotes energy independence, and genuinely considers the input of Native Alaskan communities. Their dialogue sheds light on the complex interplay between environmental stewardship, economic necessity, and cultural preservation, urging policymakers and the public alike to recognize the stakes involved in Alaska's ongoing battle against federal overreach.   Check out Voice of the Arctic here: https://voiceofthearcticinupiat.org     Check out American Potential here: https://americanpotential.com   Check out our Spanish episodes here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8wSZydeKZ6uOuFlT_1QQ53L7l6AmC83c   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AmericanPotentialPodcast     Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/americanpotentialpodcast/   X: https://twitter.com/AMPotentialPod

Join us as we dive deep into a chat with Maddie Hall, CEO and co-founder of Living Carbon. Living Carbon leverages synthetic biology to enhance the carbon capture capabilities of trees.Raised in Seattle, Maddie's interest in climate change was sparked early on by her experience witnessing methane leakage in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.Living Carbon's mission is to develop and deploy a synthetic biology carbon removal solution that maximizes the amount of carbon captured per acre. Rather than focusing on crops, as much of the existing field work does, Living Carbon has chosen to concentrate on trees, drawing on methods used in the early 2010s for poplar engineering for biofuel production.Navigating the carbon project development landscape has been one of the greatest challenges for Maddie. The complex and often varying interpretation of methodologies, coupled with an element of in-group mentality among legacy nonprofits and old-school carbon product developers, has presented hurdles. However, Maddie believes that the market needs to mature and that mission-aligned companies joining forces can help change the system from the ground up.As a female founder in a male-dominated field, Maddie also discusses the added challenges and pressures she has faced.Looking forward, Maddie envisions Living Carbon playing a dual role: being the 'picks and shovels' that allow for the scaling of the nature-based carbon capture market, and developing first-of-its-kind projects to demonstrate the feasibility of their approach. She encourages anyone interested in the field or looking to contribute to reach out and join the journey. Get full access to Climate Capital at climatecap.substack.com/subscribe

The premise of this conversation is based on a question that Aaron Leggett — the president of the Native Village of Eklutna and the Senior Curator of Alaska History and Indigenous Culture at the Anchorage Museum — and Cody are curious about: What happens to Alaska when oil is no longer economically viable for the economy of the state? Aaron says that his hope for the future is that people will have a better understanding about the role oil plays in Alaska, that although production is in decline we can take the wealth that's been created with it and invest it into Alaska's education system in order to prepare future generations for the new realities and challenges that await them. Permanent Fund Dividend co-creator and state legislator Cliff Groh says that, for decades, oil has been the primary driver of Alaska's economy and fiscal system. However, oil production has been in decline for about 35 years. In the late 1980s, the state had more than 2 million barrels of oil going through the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System every day. Today, it's well under 500 thousand barrels a day. Right now, many people are betting the economic future of Alaska on finding another Prudhoe Bay oilfield. There's the Pikka Oil Field, the Willow Project, and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, or ANWR. There are arguments for and against each of these projects. Tim Bradner has been writing about Alaska's natural resources since 1966, he's also the co-owner of the Alaska Legislative Digest. He doesn't believe oil in Alaska will ever completely go away because oil fields have a way of producing for decades, but oil will become less and less important to Alaska's economy. Ultimately, he's hopeful for the future, though, that there are other things that will come along to stimulate the economy. Commercial fishing and tourism, for example. He says that if we're smart, we'll use the Permanent Fund to sustain our public services and diversify the economy, meanwhile educating young people and giving them a reason to stick around.

Dave and Nephi are back after taking a podcasing summer break. In this episode, the guys run down some of the biggest conservation stories that took place while they were climbing peaks, fishing, and entering shooting competitions. Topics include: a new national monument, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Evnironmental Protection Agency and waters of the US, National Public Lands Day, National Hunting and Fishing Day, and Dave tries to ruin Nephi's elk hunt before it even starts.   

On Sept. 6, the Biden administration took steps to fulfill the president's campaign promise to block oil and gas drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, cancelling the last remaining oil and gas leases within ANWR. But the holders of those leases -- Alaska's state-owned development finance corporation, the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority -- is not taking this lightly. AIDEA Executive Director Randy Ruaro joined the podcast to talk about the lease cancellation, the organization's planned lawsuit and why oil development and protecting the environment do not pose an either-or proposition as he sees room for both to coexist. He also touched on AIDEA's views on rising oil prices and recent predictions about peak oil demand. Stick around for Starr Spencer with the Market Minute, a look at near-term oil market drivers.

When Chad Brown contacted me a couple of months ago about coming back on the podcast, I had no idea that he was about to take me on such an adventure! Of course, if you're a long time listener of the show, then you know Chad for his work as a creative director and photographer. Now, he's fresh off an incredible journey in the Arctic Circle, and he's chronicled the trip in a new documentary — Blackwaters: Brotherhood in the Wild.We went right into talking about the film, and Chad shared how the idea for the documentary came to him, and what he wants people to get from it once they've watched it. We also touched on several issues, including using storytelling to bring awareness to social and environmental issues, Black men in the outdoors, and his nonprofit work dedicated to the power of collective effort in creating change.You'll definitely get inspired by Chad's powerful exploration of storytelling, brotherhood, and the pursuit of justice and healing through the power of creativity!LinksChad Brown's 2017 InterviewChad Brown on InstagramBlackwaters: Brotherhood in the WildMore from Chad Brown:Chado CreativeLove is KingSoul River, Inc.For a full transcript of this interview, visit revisionpath.com.==========Donate to Revision PathFor 10 years, Revision Path has been dedicated to showcasing Black designers and creatives from all over the world.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (09/08/2023): 3:05pm- The hunt for escaped murderer Danelo Cavalcante continued in Chester County, Pennsylvania on Friday. He escaped from Chester County Prison nine-days ago and is considered extremely dangerous. Cavalcante is an illegal migrant from Brazil who was convicted of murdering his ex-girlfriend in 2021—he was also accused of murder in 2017. According to reports, Cavalcante was recently spotted again at Longwood Gardens.

The 43-page document paints a disturbing picture of failures at the homes in Menlo Park and Paramus where dozens of deaths occurred early in the outbreak. It said poor communication, lack of staff competency and other issues led to the coronavirus spreading ‘virtually unchecked throughout the facilities.'” You can read the full article here: https://apnews.com/article/new-jersey-nursing-homes-covid-justice-department-17bc00ec2c9216dedbae73ecf4823748# 3:30pm- Will Henry successfully catch the escaped prisoner from Chester County?

The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board writes: “Six voters in Colorado filed a lawsuit in state court Wednesday to block former President Trump from appearing on the ballot there, citing the theory lately en vogue that the Constitution's 14th Amendment disqualifies Mr. Trump from sitting in the Oval Office ever again. Does this begin the countdown to the political case of the century at the U.S. Supreme Court?” You can read the editorial here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/colorado-lawsuit-donald-trump-ballot-jena-griswold-2024-election-85b540e0?mod=opinion_lead_pos3 4:05pm- In a recent Wall Street Journal opinion editorial, Michael B. Mukasey argues that “the 14th Amendment's Insurrection Clause” would not apply to former President Donald Trump. Meaning he could not be deemed ineligible to hold office again. Mukasey writes, “[a] good deal of attention has focused thus far on whether the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, was an ‘insurrection or rebellion' and, if so, whether Mr. Trump ‘engaged' in it. Those questions, however, need not be answered until two preliminary questions of law are addressed: Is the presidency an ‘office . . . under the United States,' and was the presidential oath Mr. Trump swore on Jan. 20, 2016, to support the Constitution taken ‘as an officer of the United States'?” He continues: “The latter question is easier. The use of the term ‘officer of the United States' in other constitutional provisions shows that it refers only to appointed officials, not to elected ones. In U.S. v. Mouat (1888), the Supreme Court ruled that ‘unless a person in the service of the government . . . holds his place by virtue of an appointment . . ., he is not, strictly speaking, an officer of the United States.'” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/was-trump-an-officer-of-the-united-states-constitution-14th-amendment-50b7d26?mod=opinion_lead_pos5 4:15pm- While appearing on CNN with Erin Burnett, Harvard University Law Professor Laurence Tribe explained that Donald Trump should be deemed ineligible for public office under the 14th Amendment.

Those questions, however, need not be answered until two preliminary questions of law are addressed: Is the presidency an ‘office . . . under the United States,' and was the presidential oath Mr. Trump swore on Jan. 20, 2016, to support the Constitution taken ‘as an officer of the United States'?” He continues: “The latter question is easier. The use of the term ‘officer of the United States' in other constitutional provisions shows that it refers only to appointed officials, not to elected ones. In U.S. v. Mouat (1888), the Supreme Court ruled that ‘unless a person in the service of the government . . . holds his place by virtue of an appointment . . ., he is not, strictly speaking, an officer of the United States.'” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/was-trump-an-officer-of-the-united-states-constitution-14th-amendment-50b7d26?mod=opinion_lead_pos5

It's only been five weeks since Justice Janet Protasiewicz was sworn in to the Wisconsin Supreme Court, but state Republicans are hell-bent on getting her kicked off the court before she even hears her first case. In their latest effort, Republicans in the state are floating the idea of impeaching Protasiewicz for statements she made about legislative maps.The Biden administration announced on Wednesday that it will ban drilling in 13 million acres of wilderness in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

The failure of our elected officials to ensure that policies and plans were in place to hold him in custody until he was transferred to state prison—or (my preference) extradited to Brazil—is inexcusable.

Like most juvenile shorebirds, this young Black-bellied Plover was abandoned by parents that began their southbound flights from the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge a few weeks earlier. It will join other young Black-bellied Plovers as they make their way south. This little flock of birds could arrive on the coast of Washington within a few days if they make a direct flight, or within a week or more if they stop at a wetland along the way. Some will stay, but others continue their continent-spanning journey, arriving in coastal Venezuela at the end of December.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?

Join us for a journey into the wild as we sit down with renowned American nature and wildlife photographer, Amy Gulick. A founding Fellow of the International League of Conservation Photographers, Gulick's award-winning images have graced the pages of some of the most respected environmental publications like National Audubon Society, National Wildlife Federation, and the Sierra Club, among others.In this episode, we journey back to 2001, as Amy details her three-week photography expedition to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge – a monumental effort that secured her the coveted Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism Award the following year. Gulick also reflects on the prestigious accolades she's garnered throughout her illustrious career, including the Daniel Houseberg Wilderness Image Award and the Phillip Hyde grant.Intrigued by the unique symbiotic relationship between the people of Alaska and the wild salmon, Amy embarked on a journey that became the foundation of her new book, "The Salmon Way: An Alaska State of Mind." Venturing into the Alaskan frontier, she delves deep into the web of human relationships revolving around these majestic fish. From working alongside commercial fishermen and learning the rhythms of the sea to immersing herself in Alaska Native traditions of fish preservation and cultural heritage, she sought to capture the essence of a state of mind unique to this region. Sport fishing guides expanded her horizons, teaching her not just the art of the catch but also the philosophy inherent in their way of life. Everywhere she turned, Amy encountered the generosity of the Alaskan spirit, where people from all walks of life shared their salmon-rich lives in kitchens, cabins, and remote fish camps. This is the "salmon way," a testament to the indomitable spirit of Alaska and its people.Her book, "Salmon in the Trees: Life in Alaska's Tongass Rainforest" is also an intimate portrayal of one of Earth's rarest ecosystems, the book takes readers on a vivid exploration of the symbiotic relationship between salmon and the towering trees of the Tongass rainforest. With bears, misty islands, salmon streams, and native cultures as its backbone, the book is a testament to the delicate balance of nature and the looming threats posed by global demands.Gulick shares behind-the-scenes anecdotes, from encounters with native communities to the awe-inspiring sight of humpback whales cruising the forested shorelines.Tune in to discover the beauty, challenges, and stories she has.For news, photography, contact, and engagements: Amy Gulick Images and StoriesTo purchase Gulick's books: The Salmon Way: An Alaska State of Mind — Books (mountaineers.org)Follow No Ordinary Adventure and UnCruise Adventures:YouTube: UnCruise Adventures Twitter: https://twitter.com/UnCruise Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UnCruise

At this high latitude, Black-bellied Plovers can complete their breeding cycle in a month and a half. Not long after the summer solstice, the adults begin their southbound migration, without their young. Juveniles don't migrate with their parents, but wait a month.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.
