Gov. Rick Scott’s anti-science purge begins: State employee banned for uttering ‘climate change’ A Florida state employee has been reprimanded and told not to come to work after Gov. Rick Scott’s (R) administration banned the use of the terms “climate change” and “global warming.” Earlier this month, reports said that officials in the Scott administration ordered Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) administrators not to use the terms in documents or meetings because they asserted that the climate science behind global warming was not a “true fact.” More

The Colorado legislature began its mad rush into weekend work on Friday as the end of the 2024 session comes into sight, with plenty of major legislation still unfinished.

A fundraising dinner for the Jefferson County Republican Party slated to feature South Dakota governor and vice-presidential hopeful Kristi Noem has been canceled because of safety concerns amid fallout from her admission in a new book that she killed a family dog over behavioral issues, party officials announced Friday.
The cancellation also comes amid new criticisms of Noem’s book “No Going Back,” as experts dismiss two meetings the governor claims to have had with world leaders — including North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un and French President Emmanuel Macron — as “dubious” if not outright impossible, The Dakota Scout reported Wednesday.
The timing of inviting Noem to speak at the group’s annual fundraiser dinner set for Saturday evening seemed perfect when the Jefferson County GOP reached out in January, as it was just prior to the release date for the governor’s new book, party chair Nancy Pallozzi said in a statement released Friday.
Noem was elected as the first female governor of South Dakota in 2018 and “is on President Trump’s short list for Vice President,” organizers wrote on an event page that has since been taken down.
“We had no prior knowledge of the contents of the book when we invited her,” Pallozzi stated.
In late April, Noem began to receive backlash over a section in her soon-to-be-released book where she described killing her 14-month-old dog over behavioral problems.
The incident took place 20 years ago, but Noem’s retelling sparked criticism from Republicans, Democrats and dog experts alike, the Associated Press reported.
In the past few days, numerous threats and death threats have been made to the party, the Denver West Marriot and to the South Dakota governor and her staff, Pallozzi stated Friday.

(WASHINGTON) — Roughly 100,000 immigrants who were brought to the U. S. as children are expected to enroll in the Affordable Care Act’s health insurance next year under a directive the Biden administration released Friday.
The move took longer than promised to finalize and fell short of Democratic President Joe Biden’s initial proposal to allow those migrants to sign up for Medicaid, the health insurance program that provides nearly free coverage for the nation’s poorest people.
