EPA asks Congress to repeal standards that cars across the country have met for more than 15 years. Why? To bring back gas guzzlers when gas prices are through the roof? More proof that Trump doesn't care about your family's finances and loves inflation. content.govdelivery.com/acco…

Can you name one thing Joe Biden did better than Trump? What say you?

Bipartisan backing for the industry- and environmental-supported phasedown of dangerous HFCs.
Proud to join Sens. Carper and Kennedy, and industry partners, to celebrate the phasedown of the HFC super climate pollutants under US law (the AIM Act) and a global treaty (Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol).

Open Sesame.
Q: You said opening the Strait of Hormuz was simple, what did you mean by that? Trump: You need ships, you need volume. We don't use it. At a certain point, it'll open itself

Kash’s gonna have to give his gold medal to Trump.
EXCLUSIVE LEAKED VIDEO: Kash Patel chugging beers and wearing a Team USA Hockey Gold medal in locker room. @FBIDirectorKash appears to have abused his official position in violations of 5 CFR 2635 "Misuse of Official Position."

The Trump administration just took its biggest action ever to halt climate progress. Ignoring climate science, the EPA is opening the floodgates to unlimited greenhouse gases from cars and trucks while setting the stage to undo pollution rules on other major polluters.

These zealots’ “total victory” will collapse in court. Climate science is “beyond dispute,” says the National Academy of Sciences. And the Clean Air Act “unambiguously” authorizes EPA to curb climate pollution, the Supreme Court has ruled. nytimes.com/2026/02/09/clima…

Feb. 2, 2027: Department of Energy is sad to report that Punxsutawney Phil died of black lung disease last month.
Punxsutawney Phil says six more weeks of winter! Thankfully, the 17GW of beautiful clean coal the Trump administration kept online is ready to deliver.

Now apply this pretext equally to oil platforms.

OLLINS: But the Pentagon reviewed this wind project in 2023 and they found that there were negligible national security impacts BURGUM: In particular there's concern about radar relative to undersea drones... people with bad ulterior motives to the US would launch a swarm drone attack through wind farms

It's disappointing that the director of the EPA is implying discussion surrounding contrails require more "honesty and transparency." This stokes conspiracy theories. Contrails are contrails. The conversation doesn't have to go much further than that.
Americans have questions about geoengineering and contrails. They expect honesty and transparency from their government when seeking answers. For years, people who asked questions in good faith were dismissed, even vilified by the media and their own government. This ends today.

The latest version of the Senate's BBB is a death sentence for US energy leadership and a giant gift to China. It eliminates tax cuts for solar that have been around since 2005, adds a new tax on solar after 2027, and creates a new direct subsidy for coal.
