Climate activist Greta Thunberg slammed the Biden administration on climate policy in an interview on Monday, saying that it's "strange" to consider Biden a leader on the issue "when you see what his administration is doing."
🗣 "The U.S. is actually expanding fossil fuel infrastructure," Thunberg told the Washington Post.
The White House also has not followed through on a campaign promise to crack down on new oil and gas leasing on federal lands, instead aiming for reforming the process. Yet, it is also greatly expanding the areas open to renewables, such as offshore wind energy

🚨 A Border Patrol official had his tweet on the capture of a ‘potential terrorist’ deleted
The post saying a Saudi Arabian migrant with alleged terror ties was apprehended at the southern border vanished, with the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) saying that it was because it contained "law enforcement sensitive information" and violated protocols.
It is not clear what information had been deemed law enforcement sensitive. The move came after the Saudi Embassy said in a statement that "[b]ased on the engagement with the relevant U.S authorities on this matter, the Embassy confirms that the individual mentioned here is not a Saudi citizen."
