In the immediate aftermath of the big blue wave, President Donald Trump said after his party was routed in the midterms last week, he was absolutely willing to accept the results.

New York Times notes that lasted less than a week.

Trump wrote Monday on social media, does anybody really believe that this election was honest?

He added, How could the polls be so wrong?

Some early voting dumps were so large that it was impossible to win, no matter how many people went to vote.

It's all about the machines, Trump said, which are far more important than the voter.

In recent days, Trump has returned to his penchant for amplifying conspiracy theories about widespread election fraud.

Meantime, nutritious food for Milwaukee students by bringing locally grown produce into school cafeterias. organizers hope students will have their first harvest on lunch plates before their winter break.

The effort comes as Milwaukee faces a growing crisis with one in four children facing food insecurity.

Project coordinator Renisha Muchapondwa with the Michael Fields Agricultural Institute says challenges like grocery store closures and limited availability of fresh foods in some areas are among the concerns.

She notes school meals offer an important opportunity to reach kids who may not always be able to get nutritious food elsewhere.

If they're eating breakfast and lunch at school, that's two huge opportunities that we have to introduce fresh local foods to them.

And for a lot of students, that may be the only meals that they have access to.

She adds students will also have a chance to grow their own food with lessons on planting and harvesting.

Organizers hope the hands-on experience will help them better understand where their food comes from, while strengthening ties between schools, farmers, and the broader community.

The Farm to School initiative is supported by a $440,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, with partner organizations contributing a 25% match.

Next, the Environmental Protection Agency has proposed a rollback of federal methane regulations.

Methane is considered both a super pollutant and a major cause of climate change, trapping 80 times as much heat in the atmosphere in the short term as carbon dioxide.

Mary Sasso, an attorney with the global science nonprofit Clean Air Task Force, says even states like Maine, which are far from oil and gas wells, would suffer from increased emissions tied to respiratory illnesses, birth defects, and cancer.

The language, they seem incredibly preoccupied with the profitability of oil and gas companies, so much so that the proposal almost completely ignores the health and welfare of communities and workers.

President Donald Trump calls the Biden-era rules unnecessary and says their removal would help boost domestic energy production and lower consumer prices.

A new report reveals a disconnect for California students who study civics but may not feel empowered to make changes based on what they learn.

Researchers from the nonprofit Youth Truth surveyed 140,000 students and 10,000 teachers for a report called The Civic Gap, how schools can cultivate student voice and participation.

Cynthia Cheong, Youth Truth Director of Research and Insights, says schools can narrow that gap by working to develop a sense of belonging and trust on campus.

For educators, they could start by making the day-to-day experience for a student feel safer and more seen, helping students feel like they belong to a community and that they can trust the adults around them.

She says educators can promote that feeling of belonging by taking an interest in students' lives outside of the classroom.

And a $70 million donation could be a big boost for tribal colleges and universities or TCUs in Montana and across the country.

The American Indian College Fund says the gift from Yield Giving, philanthropist Mackenzie Scott's foundation, will help strengthen Native education.

College Fund president Cheryl Crazybowl says it gives TCUs more flexibility to fine-tune their programming and curriculum as they evaluate the needs of surrounding communities.

They are among the most responsive institutions when it comes to aligning their curriculum with tribal and local and even regional priorities for education.

She says the American Indian College Fund will use the money to expand scholarships, academic and wellness resources, and college and career coaching.

Montana has seven TCUs, and an economic analysis found they contributed more than $76 million to the state's economy in 2009.

That's today's equivalent of more than $120 million.

Finally, Virginia lawmakers have their eyes set toward January in a new legislative session.

A slew of bills related to data center regulations meant to protect rural resources are piling up.

One bipartisan bill proposes a data center moratorium.

Elena Slashberg with the Coalition to Protect Prince William County says Virginia has to hit the pause button. noting the rapid growth of these facilities affects the power grid needs here and in other states.

Our house is on fire, and the way that you stop a fire first and foremost is you remove the accelerant.

In case nobody has noticed, Virginia is in a crisis, and our crisis is causing a crisis in other places.

We are not siloed in Virginia.

Data center pushback is prominent in smaller towns amid concerns about water and land use impacts.
