Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Trent: Immigrants are far less likely than native-born citizens to commit crimes. That is not who we need to protect ourselves from. It actually turns out that we need to protect ourselves from the rich, the powerful, the oligarchs — the Epsteins of the world, the Trumps of the world.

BREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote.
The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.

A reminder: ICE vehicles waste a whopping 80% of energy in their fuel.
EVs are propelled by entirely different mechanisms. Energy enters the vehicle as electricity, which directly powers the drivetrain making it 3-4x more efficient.
