βPresident Trump and Elon Musk really have altered the structure of things. Theyβve taken steps that cannot be so easily reversed. If American constitutional democracy is a game, then theyβve flipped the board with the aim of using the same pieces to play a new game with their own boutique rules.β

These actions will lead to dirtier air and water, increased energy costs, and worse quality of life for all.
