Sometime this week, the Trump Administration is expected to launch an assault on one of the major cornerstones of U.S. climate policy, known as the 'endangerment finding.' It's the scientific conclusion that greenhouse gases are dangerous to people's health and safety, and should therefore be regulated by government agencies that are supposed to protect our interests. While the specifics of the administration's plans are still unknown, if successful, it could be one of the most devastating blows to the federal government's ability — and the world's ability — to mitigate the increasingly devastating effects of a warming planet. Zack Coleman, who covers climate change for Politico, tells us more about the 'endangerment finding' and the potential consequences of gutting it. Later in the show, Crooked Climate Correspondent Anya Zoledziowski debunks the latest right-wing weather conspiracies around this month's devastating floods in Texas. And in headlines: President Donald Trump announced a new trade agreement with the European Union, the president called for Beyonce to be prosecuted for something that never happened, and Israel began airdrops of aid and daily pauses in fighting amid rising deaths from starvation in Gaza.

  • If you haven't seen the video, head to our YouTube channel to see it.

  • Yup, your president cheats at golf.

  • Sad.

  • On today's show,

  • a trade deal with the European Union and President Donald Trump takes his anger out on Beyonce

  • as he continues to dodge all of the swirling questions about the Epstein files.

  • But let's start with the story of a cover-up, one going on right now,

  • where Donald Trump is trying to bury the facts and enlisting lots and lots of people in the government to help him hide what everyone except his most devoted supporters can see.

  • No,

  • this time it's not about avoiding the truth about Trump's years-long friendship with Jeffrey Epstein and all of the people who may have been harmed along the way.

  • It's about burying the truth about climate change and all of the people who will be harmed along the way.

  • We don't yet know exactly how Trump is going to argue that climate change isn't a thing the government should care about,

  • but we're pretty sure he's going to argue it nonetheless.

  • Sometime this week,

  • we expect the Trump administration to launch an assault on what's known at the Environmental Protection Agency as the endangerment finding.

  • Now that's the scientific conclusion saying what we already know.

  • The greenhouse gases are dangerous to the health and safety of all of us.

  • And that the government agencies that are supposed to protect our interests,
