BREAKING: Supreme Court agrees to consider limiting EPA's authority to curb greenhouse gases from power plants, will hear appeals from coal-mining companies and Republican-led states

A reporter discusses it...

There is a very real chance that the Supreme Court will soon prohibit the EPA from limiting greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. This is a horrifying grant.

To be clear: The Supreme Court may not only deny the EPA authority to regulate greenhouse gases from power plants, but also prohibit Congress from delegating that authority to the EPA in the first place.

    Biden and the DC democrats seem wholly disconnected from reality. I think this year they will set a record for absolute worst year of political failures in American history.

    Texas became a Handmaid state where women have no reproductive rights. The dems have done nothing on a federal level. Apparently - they will do nothing.

    425 voter suppression bills were introduced in 49 state legislatures over the last year. 33 have been enacted in 19 states.

    And I assume that 100% (or nearly 100%) of the bills are GOP bills. And 425 is the recent number. Every few weeks it goes up more. The dems have done nothing on a federal level. Apparently - they will do nothing.

    And there's the terrible Build Back Better bill. It was $6T then 3.5 then 1.75 and - who knows - next week it might be ~$1.2.

    I think so far we've said goodbye to:

    • paid family leave
    • tuition-free community college
    • meaningful climate provisions
    • expanded Medicare eligibility + vision/hearing/dental
    • prescription drug price controls
    • universal non-means-tested child care + tax credit
    • billionaire tax

    All of this is insane.

        reducing labour protections for children

        That's so nasty.

        to wait workers demanding higher pay out

        And the dems pretend they are the "workers" party. Biden's advisors are ghouls. I posted about it...

        Scroll down to see my comment with quotations from his Wikipedia page that says he's “a strong advocate for workers”. Everything about the dems is total fucking bullshit

            They're like the world's worst b-movie that somehow manages not to have a single second of unintentional comedy or oddities. The entire movie from start to finish is only dull and mind numbingly bad.
