In a bold move to protect Americans from the greatest threat of all—clean air—the Trump EPA has officially declared that greenhouse gases are no longer dangerous, proving once and for all that if you simply erase the science, the wildfires, heat waves, and smoke-choked skies will politely stop existing.

Parents can now reassure their kids that the reason the playground smells like a campfire and the sky looks like Mars isn’t climate change. It’s freedom. The administration has heroically liberated polluters from the oppressive burden of not poisoning people, ensuring oil companies can finally thrive without the constant harassment of “evidence,” “public health,” or “reality.” After all, why protect children’s lungs when there are quarterly earnings reports to consider?

Trump also proudly announced he’s saving Americans $1.3 trillion by gutting climate regulations, an impressive feat made even more impressive by the small technical detail that his own administration’s math shows it will actually cost Americans $1.5 trillion.

Yes, in a bold new era of Trump-onomics, losing money is now considered saving money, as long as you announce the savings first and release the inconvenient spreadsheet later, preferably late at night when everyone is asleep or watching Netflix.

The plan works like this: eliminate rules that reduce fuel use, which will increase fuel use, which will increase fuel spending, which will somehow make everything cheaper, assuming, of course, gas prices magically drop in a fantasy scenario the government admits isn’t realistic but included anyway for emotional support.

The administration also dismissed climate change itself as a “scam,” which is convenient, because once you declare reality fake, you no longer have to count the trillions in damage caused by floods, fires, heat waves, and collapsing infrastructure. Problem solved.

It’s been nearly a week since Pam Bondi’s now-infamous appearance before the House Judiciary Committee, but America’s cartoonists just can’t quit her.

Can you blame them? America’s top law enforcement official, apparently prepared for her congressional testimony the way middle-schoolers prepare for recess: by rehearsing insults in the mirror and perfecting her sneer. Faced with inconvenient questions about Epstein files, failed prosecutions, and the occasional collapse of the Justice Department’s credibility, Bondi bravely chose the administration’s preferred legal strategy: calling everyone a “loser” until the facts go away.

In the Trump era, persuasion is obsolete, accountability is optional, and contempt is now a renewable energy source, powering the government one insult at a time while actual answers remain classified somewhere between “your time is up” and “look over there.”
