Despite overwhelming public opposition, the Trump administration is bulldozing forward with their proposal to repeal the #EndangermentFinding and roll back the clean vehicle standards. This will allow cars & trucks to spew destructive pollution for decades to come. www.sierraclub.org/press-releas...

Trump administration directs rescission of $1.5B from blue states on health, transportation The Trump administration is rescinding a total of $1.5 billion in health and transportation funds from multiple blue states, a spokesperson for the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB)...

Trump just canceled $1.5 billion in funding in states that didn't vote for him for projects like electric vehicles and buses that would save lives and reduce costs.

This is just the latest reckless move by a vindictive administration that does not even pretend to serve the American people.

Thank you @markey.senate.gov, @dorismatsui.bsky.social, @davids.house.gov for leading this Congressional letter with 80 signers opposing Trump's attack on common-sense fuel economy standards. These standards save families money at the pump & reduce toxic air pollution.

A Billionaire’s Surrender Bezos is not trying to save The Washington Post. He’s trying to survive Donald Trump.

For those of you who:

* Feel enraged to watch billionaires destroy important newsrooms

and

* Recall vaguely that Jeff Bezos was once considered a courageous owner who fortified the Washington Post

I recommend this piece by the Post's former fact-checker

Taylor Rehmet, a Democrat (& @runforsomething.net candidate!) flipped a state senate district in Texas that Trump had won by 17 points.

Expand your imagination. When great candidates rooted in community step up to lead, anything is possible.

The Trump admin has proposed rolling back the fuel economy standards that regulate how far cars travel on a gallon of fuel. This will cost drivers thousands of dollars more each year in gas and make cars more polluting. Demand that the current standards stay in place. sc.org/CleanCarStan...

Colorado state senator killed in multi-vehicle crash south of Denver Faith Winter, a Broomfield Democrat, was a fierce advocate for transit. She was entering her 12th and final year as a state lawmaker.

I am so sorry to hear this terrible news. My deep condolences to Faith’s family, loved ones, the Broomfield community, and Colorado.

It is unspeakably tragic.

Rest in peace to Faith Winter, killed by a transportation system she was trying to making safe for others.
