The Trump administration has put a stop to EPA rules that would have required more than 130 industrial facilities to install air monitors to measure pollution.
Millions of people living near these plants face an increased risk of cancer.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) actually told the press that Democrats would be the ones hurt most by losing SNAP.
To be fair, since he lives in Florida instead of the state he represents, maybe he doesn’t realize 752,000 Alabamians rely on SNAP—14.6% of the state’s population.

12 years earlier, yes, I know.
Same problem, same Republican obstruction.
Trump ran in 2016 on the result of that long-time obstruction.
In 2009 Republicans agreed among themselves to obstruct everything while Obama was president.

Solving problems takes time.
The Republican Party hasn’t wanted to solve real problems for a long time. Mostly, they just want to blame Democrats for the problems Republicans refuse to address.

All of which Trump did his damndest to ensure couldn’t be fixed, so that alone could “fix it,” the Stephen Miller way, which is not what normal Americans want at all.

For years, some big polluters were allowed to estimate their own emissions.
Now, the intrepid @lisalsong.bsky.social has found emissions at facilities were far higher than their estimates.
Terrifying reporting w/ incredible pics from @annie-flanagan.bsky.social that make me feel like I'm choking:
1. Provoke the American people in every way, until many reach the breaking point.
2. When Trump decides the time is opportune, say, next summer, he will cite protests, er, “civil disorder” as excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act.
3. … enabling the “pacification” of Democratic cities by November.
Let’s be clear, most EBT users are white. The reason he’s specifically lying about “weaves” and we’ve seen so many AI fakes of Black women ranting about food stamps is they need to make BW the face EBT because they know many Americans don’t care if Black people suffer, and some actually wish for it.

Epstein's emails show Acosta tanked an investigation that had Epstein dead to rights on money laundering, and other financial crimes.

To maximize the pain, Trump sabotaged bipartisan legislation.
It’s an example of Trump’s anti-democratic practice of causing problems then claiming “only I can fix it” - the problem Republicans themselves refused to do anything productive to fix in the first place.

Can I also just say, again, that the Biden admin under no circumstances committed to “left-wing” migration policy, in any way, shape, or form. I want Douthat to articulate what specific policies he thinks are included in that, because I think he seriously misunderstands the policies at issue.

Persistence confronts lawlessness; holds line:

It is completely obvious that the party lost in 2024 because it overcommitted to a range of unpopular left-wing positions, some of which yielded disastrous policy results (like the Biden migration wave) while others merely persuaded constituencies that had voted Democratic in the past (like blue-collar Midwesterners or culturally conservative Latino men) that the party now cared more about climate change
In poll after poll, Americans have said that they know little to nothing about the IRA, with the most recent poll, out in April 2024, finding that 4 in 10 people say that they don’t know enough about the law’s provisions to have an opinion on them. At the same time, a July 2023 Data for Progress poll found that large numbers of Americans support provisions in the IRA when asked specifically about them, including tax credits for businesses that produce clean electricity, electric vehicles, and new clean energy technologies (69%); rebates up to $14,000 per household to improve home energy efficiency (71%); and ramping up production of American-made clean energy technologies (73%). And perhaps most significantly, support for these key IRA provisions has grown over time among all likely voters, especially Republican voters.
Utterly bizarre to describe climate change policy as some kind of radical-left albatross.
The IRA contained precisely the kind of 'kitchen table' programs everyone says Democrats should focus on — and they're popular!
The problem was that Americans *didn't know* what the IRA was or who passed it.
Cool optics bro
