Seven Ex-Officials Warn of Endangered Species Act Backslide | Baton Rouge News
Seven former top officials from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and NOAA, spanning four presidential administrations, have issued a stark warning: recent changes to the Endangered Species Act threaten to shield businesses from accountability for harming endangered wildlife. These seasoned conservationists argue that weakening habitat protections and redefining what counts as “taking” an animal could push iconic species toward extinction. Drawing on decades of hands-on experience bringing species back from the brink, they caution that history is repeating itself — and this time, the consequences could be far worse.

Judge Probes Billion-Dollar Political Fund | Baton Rouge News
A federal judge is refusing to dismiss a high-stakes case challenging a $1.8 billion settlement fund designed to pay “victims of lawfare” — and which allegedly granted tax audit immunity to Donald Trump and his businesses. Despite the Justice Department’s claim the fund never existed, the judge demands sworn evidence and documents revealing who orchestrated it, raising alarms about taxpayer money funding political agendas. Critics fear the fund could benefit January 6 protesters, while plaintiffs including former prosecutors and the National Abortion Federation argue it’s discriminatory and rewards partisan viewpoints. The case also probes whether Trump’s tax immunity violates the Constitution’s emoluments clause, with the National Treasury Employees Union warning that auditors may have been forced to choose between their oath and retaliation. With 30 days to respond, the Justice Department faces mounting scrutiny over this politically charged financial arrangement.
