This week, Congress overturned a rule that charged Big Oil for methane emissions — which would prevent millions of tons of climate pollution — and rolled back water heater efficiency standards that save consumers an average of $112.
Republicans have once again rewarded their Big Oil friends.

Congress Set to Vote on Repeal of Biden Administration Climate Regulations - Inside Climate News
Two bills scheduled this week would roll back rules to limit methane emissions from oil and gas operations and efficiency standards for water heaters. They would also bar similar rules in the future.

That is right— a TAX . Any Dem who says tariff instead of TAX isn’t ready for this fight
Donald Trump just slapped a major tax on every person and business in America. Families will pay hundreds more at the grocery store and the gas pump. Everything from cars to kitchen appliances will skyrocket in price.

The central core of Trumpism is voter suppression and election subversion. Too many people only pay attention to this right before elections and forget it once elections are over.
We must take this threat literally and seriously if we want to have free and fair elections in the future.

Prepare for MASSIVE protests. I'd venture the coming protests will outdo those that saw Park Geun-Hye removed from power. One thing about Koreans: they will absolutely not be cowed. They've overthrown dictatorship and removed a president from power, all with largely peaceful protests.
