We found that 11 of Trumpβs DOT appointees disclosed between $12 million and $52 million in stock holdings and other financial interests in airlines, railroads, oil and gas corporations, transportation technology firms and other related businesses.

The Voting Rights Act Is Still Working To Stop Racist Laws. The Supreme Court Might Not Care.

As the U.S. Supreme Court contemplates whether the VRA has outlived its usefulness, having heard oral arguments in October questioning the constitutionality of the landmark lawβs most vital remaining provision, the question of racismβs grip on America remains. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/the...

Air Pollution From Industrial Facilities Is Far Worse Than Estimated
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 pla...
About 90,000 people living near larger chemical plants face an unacceptable risk of developing cancer, the EPA says.
New rules adopted last year couldβve cut that number to 3,000 residents β a drop of 97%.
But Trump has halted those efforts.

The unlawful president of the United States, Trump, is openly trying to take revenge on anyone he claims undermined him with an investigation. He influenced the Department of Justice and the grand juries to indict former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James. But look what has happened! A federal judge has dismissed both indictments. Trump would be a silly fool to attempt another investigation in these cases. Bye-bye, Trump!

The Trump administration has overhauled how the State Department conducts its annual Human Rights Report.
Countries with state subsidies for abortion, transgender-friendly policies for children, hate speech laws, and affirmative action will now be considered to be violating human rights under rules imposed at Trumpβs State Department. That impacts how the agency conducts its annual Human Rights Report.
