Donald Trump is handing his Big Oil campaign donors even more opportunities to screw over Americans at the pump and poison our air.

Strong fuel economy standards save Californians money and protect our health, and we'll fight tooth and nail to defend them.
The Trump administration is proposing new fuel economy standards for vehicles that would roll back efficiency rules implemented under former President Biden.

#TN07 reminder, from @politico.com today:

> “If our victory margin is single digits, the conference may come unhinged,” one senior House Republican said. A loss would be catastrophic and the conference would “explode,” the Republican added.

TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there.

Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.

Neighboring #TN05 — the district the GOP flipped by cracking Nashville — is a bit less red at Trump+18. It also features a much worse Republican candidate.

While you were distracted by the Epstein files, RFK jr just updated the CDC website with his anti-vax talking points.

This is dangerous and irresponsible.

This dissent supporting the Texas GOP's racial gerrymandering reads like it's from some right-wing PR flack, but the author is federal appellate judge appointed by Ronald Reagan
The TX dissent is so unhinged it's making me queasy.

It's also wickedly antisemitic, mentioning "Soros" no fewer than 17 times, including gems like:

"Plaintiffs’ top expert Matt Barreto is a Soros operative. His CV confirms it. He expects to receive $2.5 million in his Soros piggybank."

Do you know who is paying for Trump’s ballroom?

Amazon
Google
Apple
Meta

And a bunch of other companies that coincidentally have business in front of the Trump Administration right now.

So are these companies getting special favors in return? I’m pressing for answers.

See that Rolex clock and gold bar?

It looks like those Swiss gifts paid off.

Trump cut tariffs on Swiss goods — like luxury watches — from 39% to 15%.

While Trump’s tariffs increase prices for Americans, billionaire CEOs and foreign companies sucking up to Trump get relief.

The DOT also reportedly plans to rescind requirements that airlines disclose junk fees. It's also planning to redefine what flight cancellations would require refunds for passengers.

Both Delta and United gave $1 million to the Trump inauguration fund.

Everything is for sale.

This is not a deal — it's an empty promise.

Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.

We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.

A vote for this bill is a mistake.

Democrats are extremely fortunate that people still showed up to vote for them in force despite their disgust with the party. That's something that might not last forever.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

A big result: Maine voters have rejected the conservative ballot measure that'd have restricted ballot access.

The measure was going to impose voter ID, and restrict mail voting significantly.

It lost easily, a year before the crucial midterms there.

You need to understand that he actually believes it is illegal to criticize him. Why? Because Trump believes he - not the people - decides the law.

This is why we are in the middle of, not on the verge of, a totalitarian takeover.
