Senator Bernie Sanders is spot on.
Sanders: The American people do not want this country to be an authoritarian society or an oligarchy. We have our differences, that’s what democracy is about—we argue it out. We don’t throw people who disagree in jail. We don’t intimidate the media. We don’t send ICE agents to shoot people.

Regulations are what keeps ordinary Americans healthy and, often, alive.

It took spoiled meat and rodent droppings out of our food. It took harmful lead out of our gasoline and paint. It took poison out of our water.

Deregulation only achieves one goal: making rich corporations richer.

Stripping the EPA’s authority to fight climate change is a dereliction of duty. More profits for fossil fuel executives and wealthy shareholders at the expense of our planet and future.

The climate emergency is here.

EPA reverses long-standing climate change finding, stripping its own ability to regulate emissions
The agency announced it is repealing its 2009 conclusion that greenhouse gases warm the Earth and endanger human health and well-being.

If ICE and CBP don't want to be called secret police, then don't wear masks. 
 
If they don't want to be accused of kidnapping, then don't drag people out of cars & houses without warrants.
 
And if they don't want to be accused of being lawless, then start following the law.

King Trump revoked the 2009 endangerment finding, which is the central basis for US action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions & fight climate change.

But in making the announcement, Trump & EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin made many false claims.

This is a very good open source resource on the variety of ways that DOGE damaged government:
Great to see the new House Oversight Democrats’ report on the schemes behind DOGE's creation, the benefits it offered the billionaire class, and the harms it brought to taxpayers, federal workers, and public services. 🧵

In a moment that calls for courage, we get this:
Gallup announces, after 88 years, it will no longer track public approval of presidents. Trump's second-term approval rating fell to 36% in December, among the lowest ever recorded by the company. The president repeatedly has threatened to sue media and polling firms that portray him negatively.

Unhinged and unethical. And that’s just the beginning to describe Pamela Jo Bondi today before House Judiciary.

My take on the Trump DOJ’s failure to protect the victims and survivors of Epstein and Maxwell and how Bondi is choosing to protect pedophiles instead.
