“Unfortunately, because Congress is not taking any steps to rein ICE officers in, there really is no option other than states protecting their constituents’ rights," said Joanna Schwartz, a law professor at UCLA.
After the EPA found that ethylene oxide is 30 times more carcinogenic than previously thought, it updated regulations to protect the people who are most exposed to it.
Now, the agency’s ability to do that for many air pollutants is under threat.

DHS was horrible idea from the start, this outcome was inevitable.
Abolish ICE!
Insufficient mass.
This is Renee Good.
She was a mother of a six-year-old child.
She was an American citizen.
She described herself as a “poet and writer and wife and mom and shitty guitar strummer from Colorado.”
And she was gunned down in cold blood and broad daylight by Trump’s ICE agents.
ICE agent fatally shoots a 37-year-old woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday, identified as Renee Nicole Good.
"Renee was a resident of our city who was out caring for her neighbors this morning and her life was taken today at the hands of the federal government. "

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.
Another day, another TEN missed opportunities for the DNC to speak on behalf of Dems about the abomination of the day.
Mark Kelly shouldn’t have to defend himself alone.
The DNC, the national Dem PARTY should be speaking up for him and the other members of Congress all over the place.
WHYYYYY

Apart from personal enrichment, Trump has no strategy, he is a hateful but compliant puppet and a figurehead for larger forces comprised of oligarchs and religious fanatics who agree on their intent to destroy the United States.
Much like Jeff Bezos piloting the Washington Post cutting off fuel to the journalist engines.
Corrupt right-wing politicians and their doppelganger centrist liberal counterparts support privatization of government functions solely to divert public funds into private pockets, not coincidentally pockets belonging to their wealthy supporters. End the for-profit looting of government services.
Rejoice, friends
Big government is over
From now on, instead of community
You will be left
In the marketplace
To fend for yourselves
Claw for yourselves
Stab for yourselves
Guard for yourselves
What little money, savings, dignity, and shelter you have left

That is interesting. Apparently it is ironic that Jackson Browne was the guilty party dragging Winslow Arizona into the range of our hearing, according to an interview with Browne:

A wave may be described as a superposition of plane waves, but it often turns out that most of these plane waves are evanescent.
Gerrymandering is anti-democratiic cheating that demoralizes the out-party, thereby suppressing turnout. Weak turnout affects all races, even for statewide offices. Gerrymandering needs to be eliminated.
Tangentially it is worth noting that the Washington Free Beacon puts a heavy right-wing spin on all of its reporting. For an example see its description of RMI as a "China-Tied Think Tank", and the associated presentation of the American Energy Institute as an unbiased source.
LoL. He should be prosecuted, where is the "Justice for All" ?
Far less concerned with the victory speech in light of the million dollar checks.
