And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

EPA head says he'll roll back dozens of environmental regulations, including rules on climate change The head of the Environmental Protection Agency has announced a series of actions to roll back landmark environmental regulations, including rules on pollution from coal-fired power plants, climate ch...

This is bad. Really bad.
