The Environmental Protection Agency plans to cancel a total of 781 grants issued under President Joe Biden, EPA lawyers wrote in a little-noticed court filing last week, nearly twice the number previously reported.

The filing in the case Woonasquatucket River Watershed Council v. Department of Agriculture marks the first time the agency has publicly acknowledged the total number of grants set for termination, which includes all of its environmental justice grants. It comes amid ongoing court fights over whether the EPA has violated its legal obligations when clawing back the funds.

“EPA is in the process of sending out the formal termination/cancellation notices to all of the impacted grantees,” EPA career official Daniel Coogan wrote in the filing. “EPA has already sent out formal notices to approximately 377 grantees. For the remaining approximately 404 grantees, EPA plans to issue notices within the next two weeks.”

Prior to the filing, the EPA had not confirmed that 781 grants would be canceled, although a list obtained by The Washington Post had shown more than 450 terminated or frozen grants totaling more than $1.5 billion.

NEW: Joe Rogan just called the Sackler family behind OxyContin “EVIL”

He’s right.

Actor Jeremy Renner said getting off OxyContin was even more brutal than surviving the snowcat accident that nearly crushed him to death:

“One of the harder things, worse than the accident as well, is getting off OxyContin. And I got off pretty quickly. And like, that’s gnarly stuff, man. I’m glad it was there the pain for me, but I wanted to get off it as soon as possible. Because it’s highly, highly addictive. And coming off that stuff was gnarly.”

In 1996, Purdue Pharma unleashed OxyContin on America, brazenly claiming it was “safe” and “rarely addictive.”

They knew it wasn’t — but they pushed it anyway, fueling an epidemic that has already killed over a million people.

Meanwhile, the Sacklers pocketed billions, paying settlements but admitting no wrongdoing.

“That’s an evil family,” Rogan said.

💥Hundreds of scientists and experts who were working on the government’s report on how global warming is affecting the country have reportedly been dismissed by the Trump administration.

Researchers who were working on the sixth national climate assessment that was set for an early 2028 release received an email on Monday stating that the scope of the report "is currently being re-evaluated" and that all those working on it were being dismissed, the New York Times reported.

The federal government has published a report every few years since 2000 outlining how climate change would affect human health, transportation, agriculture, energy production, and other things. The last report was issued in 2023.

🤔A New England Patriots team plane flew to notorious military base Guantanamo Bay on Monday as part of its deal with a charter company which sees its planes work with the Department of Defense.

While Guantanamo has recently been used to detain US deportees, a Patriots spokesperson told the Daily Mail that the plane 'was not used for any kind of deportation flight and there were no detainees on the plane.'

However, the spokesperson acknowledged that the planes are chartered 'to the Department of Defense to move military personnel as well as other government agencies with no financial gain to the organization.'

Flight records posted to Bluesky first publicized Monday's trip, which began at Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport around 6 a.m. local time before landing in Cuba a few hours later.

Records indicate that the plane was grounded for four hours and then returned to to Biggs Army Airfield in El Paso.

BREAKING🚨: Ukraine is ready to sign a natural resources deal with the US, a person familiar with the matter said, in a move that could bolster Washington’s support for Kyiv by strengthening their economic partnership.

The draft agreement, which envisages creating a joint fund to manage Ukraine’s investment projects, has been finalized and may be signed as soon as Wednesday, the person said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the talks are private. Ukrainian Economy Minister Yulia Svyrydenko is on her way to Washington for the signing, they said.

As part of the agreement, the US and Ukraine will seek to create the conditions to “increase investment in mining, energy, and related technology in Ukraine,” according to the draft of the document seen by Bloomberg News. Washington also acknowledges Kyiv’s intentions for the deal to avoid any conflict with its plans to join the European Union — long seen as a red line for Ukraine in the talks.

In another breakthrough, the US has agreed that only future military assistance it may provide to Ukraine following the signing of the deal would count toward its contribution to the fund, according to the document. Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said Sunday that Washington had dropped its insistence on inclusion in the deal of the tens of billions of dollars in aid delivered since the start of Russia’s invasion.

Trump's chief of staff has revealed Elon Musk is no longer working at the White House after spending the first 100 Days by the president's side. 

'Instead of meeting with him in person, I'm talking to him on the phone, but it's the same net effect,' White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles told The New York Post.

'He's not out of it altogether. He's just not physically present as much as he was.'

But Wiles insists Musk's team stationed in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building will carry on his vision. 'He hasn't been here physically, but it really doesn't matter much,' she said.

'The people that are doing this work are here doing good things and paying attention to the details. He'll be stepping back a little, but he's certainly not abandoning it. And his people are definitely not.'

WATCH🔥🍿: Greg Kelly went there. Last night on Newsmax, Kelly investigated and partially confirmed the claim that the only Trump rally CNN covered from start to finish was, coincidentally, the Butler, PA rally—President Trump’s first assassination attempt.

“I heard a rumor that this was the first rally, July 13, 2024, that CNN ever took live. Well, kind of—CNN covered the Butler rally live from the very start to the gunshots and beyond. They cut away right after the gunshots.

“The rumor isn’t entirely correct, but it’s not entirely wrong. I don’t suspect anything sinister, but of all the dates, of all the times they had rallies, let’s see here:

“Thursday, June 6, they took 17 seconds.

“Friday, June 28, they took 3 minutes and 51 seconds of coverage, but it wasn’t the beginning, and it wasn’t the end.

“July 9, they did 17 seconds.

“Butler, they went from the very first minute right up until he was shot. That’s six minutes. That’s longer than any other rally for 2024. And all these others, they did not cover. Again, nothing sinister. Just one of those weird things.”

He asked, “What are the odds? It’s a coincidence. Coincidences happen, but interesting nonetheless.”

He went on to point out other oddities of that day, like the finger-pointing over who was in charge.
