For years, the disability community has been used by industry as a shield against Medicare For All.

In new polling from @dataforprogress.org, we asked disabled voters whether they support M4A:

62% Support among voters who ID as disabled
63% Support among voters who do not ID as disabled

Congress Must Stop Trump Regime’s Rollback of Fuel Standards
Text SIGN PTYBKD to 50409 — I am writing to urge you to immediately oppose the Trump Regime’s rollback of federal fuel-efficiency standards. This move directly raises costs for American families, hands a competitive advantage to foreign carmakers, and deepens our dependence on foreign oil. No matter our politics, this is a step backward for the country. Multiple independent analyses show that fuel-efficient vehicles save drivers thousands of dollars over the life of a car. The Biden-era standards—modest by historical comparison—would have reached about 50 miles per gallon by 2031. According to reporting by Politico, those standards would have saved consumers significant money at the pump while keeping U.S. automakers competitive in a global market where efficiency and advanced tech are quickly becoming non-negotiable. Instead, the Trump Regime is slashing the target to just 34 miles per gallon by 2031. The Associated Press confirms that this change means cars will burn substantially more fuel, raising long-term costs for American drivers. InsideClimate News reports that weakening these standards gives foreign automakers—especially those investing in cheaper-to-run, efficient vehicles—a huge advantage over American manufacturers. E&E News notes that this is the most consequential regulatory rollback yet, undercutting not just environmental protections but decades of bipartisan presidential support for stronger efficiency rules. From Ford to GM to Stellantis, the global market is already shifting toward high-efficiency and electric technologies. If the U.S. forces its own companies to produce less efficient cars, we are deliberately handicapping American workers and undermining an industry that should be leading the world. This rollback is not about consumer freedom. It is about forcing Americans to spend more on gasoline—at a time when working families are already stretched—and letting foreign competitors out-innovate us. Even the Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush administrations strengthened fuel standards because they understood that reducing oil consumption protects national security and keeps American dollars in America. Congress must step in. I strongly urge you to: • Hold immediate oversight hearings into the political pressure behind this rollback • Demand a full economic analysis of long-term consumer costs • Prevent this harmful rule from moving forward through legislative or budgetary action Please protect American families, American workers, and our nation’s long-term economic strength. This rollback serves no one except oil companies and foreign competitors. It is Congress’s responsibility to stop it.

I do hope Jack Smith cooperates as fully as Jim Jordan cooperated with his J6 Committee subpoena.

The shift to EVs is happening—fast. Manufacturers can either embrace the long-term transition or chase short-term gains by clinging to petrol and diesel.

China is choosing the long view. Many in Europe aren’t. The risk? Ending up with cars no one wants, lost market share, and shuttered factories.
