The SAVE Act is a misogynistic, racist, anti-poor horror bill. Of course, that self-obsessed trash ogre John Fetterman says he will vote for it.

SAVE Act explained: Republicans' sweeping elections overhaul would impose strict new voting rules, potentially disenfranchising millions of voters
The bill was approved by the House of Representatives, but faces long odds of being passed by the Senate.

Eliminating the endangerment finding on CO2 puts us at more risk. The finding enabled the federal government to treat carbon dioxide as a pollutant, making it directly subject to regulation. This move is a middle finger followed by a mugging. It will cost us dearly.

We are in more danger without "the endangerment finding" on carbon dioxide
It would be generous to say this is a “head in the sand” approach. It is really a middle finger followed by a mugging.

The GOP's Big Beautiful Bill gave Trump tens of billions of dollars to create a domestic militia and prison system that he was all but certain to employ to assault our democracy, as I said last July.
Now that Republicans are poised to suffer a catastrophic electoral loss, that assault beginning.....

I’m an American living in Portugal where on any given day between 85% and 90% of its electricity comes from renewable sources. It’s not a wealthy country but it’s not owned by the fossil fuel industry. The world is leaving the United States behind. Greed, corruption and ignorance are to blame.

Just watched our Secretary of State laud the Scientific Revolution and deride climate science as a “cult,” almost in same breath.

The distorting effect of fossil fuel’s corrupt influence is astounding, like a warped fun-house mirror.

The EPA no longer exists. Its actions yesterday were an act of appeasement for the oil and gas industry, the very sector it’s meant to oversee.

POTUS doesn’t care about your health or your child’s health.

The president is overruling science to eliminate measures that protect us from pollution and environmental damage, mainly to benefit multinational corporations that have thrown money at his campaign, ballroom, and family.

It's simple corruption, and it will cost American lives and livelihoods.

​The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has finalized its repeal of the endangerment finding and the rollback of climate emissions standards for light, medium and heavy-duty vehicles. By doing so, the EPA is rejecting settled law and science to benefit polluters.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.
