🚨 BREAKING: Trump has repealed the EPA’s authority to regulate climate pollution, terminating the 2009 “endangerment finding,” which determined that greenhouse gases are dangerous to public health under the Clean Air Act and underpinned limits on emissions from power plants, oil & gas, and vehicles.

If you missed it, yesterday House Republicans passed their SAVE Act, which would require you to present a passport or birth certificate to vote.

This is an attempt at voter suppression ahead of the midterms.

Yesterday, Bondi and House Republicans were more concerned with praising Trump than answering simple questions about the Epstein files.

Today, Senate Republicans blamed Minnesota AG Keith Ellison for Renee Good and Alex Pretti's deaths.

This is the Republican Party.

COVID-19 had killed about 38 people, most of them Black, in Albany, Georgia, by April 2020.

But when a white judge died, local officials made sure to announce her name.

And then the abolition of ICE and dismantling of DHS.

This passed unnoticed: New Pew poll finds 64% oppose mass detention of migrants while their cases are decided.

That directly repudiates MAGA. Trumpism treats the release of migrants awaiting hearings as a mortal blow to the nation. The broader public does not. 3/
