​ February 10, 2026 Good morning, Welcome to the news for independent thinkers ​ Leading the News . . . ​ Trump Dumps $1 Trillion "Endangerment" Rule in Historic Rollback . . . The Trump administration is set to scrap the 2009 "endangerment finding," the legal bedrock that allowed the EPA to regulate greenhouse gases as "pollutants." Administrator Lee Zeldin called the move the largest act of deregulation in U.S. history, potentially slashing $1 trillion in compliance costs. This permanently breaks the Left's favorite legal cudgel used to micromanage everything from your SUV's tailpipe to power plant thermostats. By admitting that global CO2 levels aren't a localized "health threat" under the Clean Air Act, the administration is returning the agency to its actual mission and stopping the bureaucratic war on affordable energy.

Kennedy Jr. teased a nationwide interactive website designed to strip the mystery from medical billing, estimating it could save Americans $80 billion annually. Speaking at a Heritage Foundation "victory lap" for his first year, Kennedy argued that real market competition only happens when patients actually know the price before the gown goes on. It replaces the "nanny state" approach with raw consumer power, forcing a bloated $4.9 trillion healthcare industry to finally compete on price rather than backroom insurance deals.

Texas House Minority Leader Gene Wu is under fire after a resurfaced clip showed him urging racial groups to unite against a "common oppressor" to "take over this country." Wu argued that progress by minorities is viewed as a "slight" by White people who believe America belongs to them. The 2024 podcast comments have sparked outrage, with critics like Attorney General Ken Paxton labeling the rhetoric as radical and divisive. Wu later clarified he was referring to Republicans, not White people.

The media are hailing Elis Lundholm as a "transgender trailblazer" for the Winter Olympics, yet the Swedish skier will be competing exactly where biology dictates: the women's category. Despite identifying as a man for five years, Lundholm has skipped medical transition, rendering the "milestone" a bit of a head-scratcher. This matters because it inadvertently affirms the common-sense reality that biological sex, not pronouns, defines fair play in sports.

Smith is demanding records from two groups—BreakThrough Media and Tricontinental—linked to a network that has funneled over $275 million into far-left causes. The "charity" label is being used as a Trojan horse for Chinese influence operations on U.S. soil. While these groups claim to be doing journalism, they seem more interested in "telling China's story well" while torching our own.

A jarring American Accountability Foundation report has identified nearly two dozen Chinese academics at elite U.S. universities with direct links to the CCP's military-industrial complex. These researchers, some previously embedded with Huawei's cybersecurity labs, are handling "dual-use" technology that fuels Beijing's defense capabilities. While administrators preach "global collaboration," they are essentially subsidizing the technological rise of America's greatest adversary with taxpayer-funded lab space.
