E.P.A. Is Said to Draft a Plan to End Its Ability to Fight Climate Change

According to two people familiar with the draft, it would eliminate the bedrock scientific finding that greenhouse-gas emissions threaten human life by dangerously warming the planet.
www.nytimes.com www.nytimes.com

“… The proposed Environmental Protection Agency rule rescinds a 2009 declaration known as the “endangerment finding,” which scientifically established that greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane endanger human lives.

That finding is the foundation of the federal government’s only tool to limit the climate pollution from vehicles, power plants and other industries that is dangerously heating the planet.

The E.P.A. proposal, which is expected to be made public within days, also calls for rescinding limits on tailpipe emissions that were designed to encourage automakers to build and sell more electric vehicles.

… The E.P.A. intends to argue that imposing climate regulations on automakers poses the real harm to human health because it would lead to higher prices and reduced consumer choice, according to the two people familiar with the administration’s plan.…”

This is going to go over about as well as the one-day sentence. Judges are going to shoot this down in no time flat.

Question as to whether Supreme Court stays that judgment or actually hears the case. If they do, they will have to shoot it down given their own precedents from last year. Oh who am I kidding, but seriously the stay approach has been chosen because the Supremes don't want to create precedents that they or lower courts have to follow. It takes no time and they think they can run the country this way indefinitely.
 
@dukeman92 Hey, what is the source of the article you screenshot? I want the original link of Leavitt saying, "Sharing actual footage of events that really happened is something that President Trump would never do."
That has to be spread more on the internet. His own press secretary saying that Trump would never share the truth is comedic gold.

I'm fairly confident that's a satire site of some kind

Considering Europe's central bank isn't part of our economy, how is that relevant?

I’m always amused and angered at the same time at how often Trump says things like, “He likes me,” or “I am nice to him,” or “we get along very well.” This isn’t fucking kindergarten.
It’s especially aggravating when he is saying it about our adversaries.
 
God, you want to see an absolute shitstorm of news, just look at the CNN website right now.


It's incredible to me how many disastrous days this administration keeps experiencing, all while Trump keeps standing up and saying he's more popular than ever.

American Convicted of Murder Among Those Trump Rescued From Venezuela Prison (Gift Article)

The Trump administration said it was protecting Americans unjustly held abroad. One of the rescued men, Dahud Hanid Ortiz, killed three people, according to court documents.

“When the State Department secured the release of 10 Americans and permanent legal residents from a Venezuela prison last week, Secretary of State Marco Rubio hailed the action as part of an effort to safeguard the well-being of Americans unjustly held abroad.

But one of the men released from the prison, an American-Venezuelan dual national named Dahud Hanid Ortiz, had been convicted in Venezuela for the murder of three people in Spain in 2016, according to an official at the prosecutor’s office in Madrid and Venezuelan court records reviewed by The New York Times.

… Mr. Hanid Ortiz, 54, had served 19 years in the in United States Army, according to military documents, and had been awarded a Purple Heart for injuries received in Iraq. He had multiple deployments and suffered physical and mental injuries as a result of his service, according to the Army. He was later dismissed from the military after pleading guilty to fraud and larceny.

Then, in 2023, he was sentenced to 30 years in prison for a triple homicide committed in Madrid in 2016, according to Venezuelan court documents and Spanish news media coverage….”

“… In a statement, chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell again denied that any classified information was shared via Signal.

“This Signal narrative is so old and worn out, it’s starting to resemble Joe Biden’s mental state. The Department stands behind its previous statements: no classified information was shared via Signal,” Parnell said. “As we’ve said repeatedly, nobody was texting war plans and the success of the Department’s recent operations–from Operation Rough Rider to Operation Midnight Hammer–are proof that our operational security and discipline are top notch.”…”
