Trump’s EPA is letting some polluters dodge Clean Air Act rules. Medical sterilization plants using toxic chemicals are getting free passes to exceed emission limits. We’re joining partners to sue the EPA for giving polluters this unwarranted break.
Trump's 'get-out-of-jail-free card' for polluters faces its latest test in court
The president exempted about 40 medical sterilization companies from Biden-era emissions standards. A new lawsuit challenges his authority.

Failing to make it to a court appearance – which is routine for attorneys and witnesses – leads to 19 million additional nights in jail each year for people accused of crimes.

The president doesn’t think Black and brown people are human. It’s in posts and it’s in his policies. We’re numb to this from him, but we won’t stop calling it what it is: racist and disgusting.

Trump's racism should be no surprise.
His company got caught committing racial housing discrimination.
He spread lies about the exonerated Central Park 5.
He entered politics with the racist birther lie.
There's a reason Trump was once endorsed by David Duke and the KKK's newspaper.
