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.

By the numbers:

Three weeks of talking about affordability
Thousands of prices rising
Hundreds of tariffs raised
Zero substantive policies announced
Dozens of lies that prices are coming down
One billionaire calling your concern about affordability a “con job.”

Hmm. Ghislaine Maxwell is filing a habeas petition challenging her incarceration PRO SE (no lawyers). I guess even David Markus has his limits? Incidentally, she's worried that the release of the Epstein files would be devastating to her case.

As a reminder, it took Johnson 50 days to swear in Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva.

SCOOP: Sources tell me Donald Trump's name was added to the exterior of the US Institute of Peace building ahead of Thursday's peace agreement signing between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), which will be held inside the building. Confirming if it's been officially renamed.

Groups of dudes who self-segregate & talk each other into believing that they are uniquely brilliant & everyone else just doesn't get it ... are responsible for some of history's most florid horrors.
It's kind of mind-blowing how these tech dorks think they're so smart and have the utmost confidence in their genius, while actual smart people are constantly doubting themselves and critiquing their own arguments.

The Admiral was thrown under the bus in seconds. Rules of engagement are sacred, and everyone knows it, which is why the truth about what Pete did leaked. Pete and Trump are no leaders. And they are not judge, jury, or executioner. Those poor fishermen.

A Florida-based company is charging military veterans as much as $20,000 for help with disability claims, even though the VA has said that may be illegal and the service should be free. But so far nobody's stopping the company and others like it.

The ACA tax credits expire on December 31st.

There is still time to extend these life-saving tax credits that help tens of millions of Americans afford health care.

House Republicans: do the right thing and work with Democrats to save health care.
